Does this mean you have to take your wife and children with you wherever you go?
"Take the child back with you."
When Yu Jingxi heard what her grandfather said, she rolled her eyes and ran into the study. After a while, she came out again carrying her schoolbag.
I couldn't wait to run downstairs, as I was afraid that Yu Zhanming would regret it and leave him here for the night.
"This child..."
Mrs. Yu saw Yu Jingxi clinging tightly to Bai Xiao, and felt more and more in her heart. Although she hadn't called her mom yet, she already regarded Bai Xiao as her mother.
Bai Xiao held Yu Jingxi's hand, Yu Shaoting took her bag from the sofa in the living room, and the family of three prepared to go home.
"Mom, let's go first. Goodbye, second brother." Bai Xiao didn't feel comfortable calling Yu Zhongxiao.
Yu Zhongxiao nodded and looked at Yu Shaoting as he said: "On the way back, drive carefully."
…
Yu Jingxi came out of the house, let go of Bai Xiao's hand, walked to the Range Rover and climbed into the car, with a small face on her face, still a little angry with this woman who sold her son to seek glory.
Bai Xiao wanted to coax her son, but Yu Shaoting pushed her into the passenger seat. By the way, she even fastened her seat belt.
Yu Jingxi looked at the two adults in front of her and hummed in her heart. She played with some bracelets that Bai Xiao had knitted. She leaned over and lay behind the passenger seat. She stretched out her fleshy little hands and pointed at the bracelets deliberately:
"Look, look, here, and here, how can they be made up like this?"
Before Bai Xiao could say anything, the man who was driving suddenly reached out, grabbed the bracelet from Yu Jingxi's hand, opened the storage compartment and threw it in.
Then he closed the storage compartment with a 'snap'.
"That's mine!" Yu Jingxi twisted her little body and squeezed into the middle of the two seats, stretching out her hands and trying desperately to open the storage compartment.
Yu Shaoting pushed his little head directly, and Yu Jingxi fell back on his seat like a ball.
"If you make any more noise, the rest will be confiscated." Yu Shaoting didn't sound like he was joking, but his tone was warning.
Yu Jingxi pursed her lips, rubbed the colorful rope, raised her head, looked at the man's forehead in the rearview mirror, and said, "I can make it up myself."
Yu Shaoting ignored him.
Bai Xiao turned around and stretched out her delicate white hands: "Give me a few ropes and I will braid another one for you."
Yu Shaoting raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Xiao in the rearview mirror. Yu Jingxi was holding the ball of rope and was unwilling to give it to him: "How can you weave it if you can't hold it yourself?"
"...Then stop the car on the side of the road and I'll sit in the back." Bai Xiao heard the implication of the little guy's words.
"Forget it, I'll go over there." When Yu Jingxi said this, people had already squeezed in between Yu Shaoting and Bai Xiao, trying to crawl over.
It's just that his little body has gained some weight recently, and for a while, he was stuck there, unable to climb over or back out. He was afraid that Yu Shaoting would be upset and would fall out, so he didn't dare to say anything about stopping the car. His little face was red from holding back, Bai Xiao said.
He quickly noticed something unusual about him and asked Yu Shaoting to park the car beside the road.
Yu Jingxi got out of the car consciously, opened the passenger door, climbed into Bai Xiao's lap and sat down.
Yu Shaoting turned his head and saw his son Shen Dian. He was worried that he might hurt Bai Xiao by moving around, so he said, "You will press on her belly like this. Be good and sit in the back."
"I sat on Xiao Bai's lap and didn't press her legs." Yu Jingxi defended herself and carefully touched Bai Xiao's belly with her little hands.
Bai Xiao saw that Yu Jingxi wanted to sit next to him, hugged the little guy, and said to Yu Shaoting: "It doesn't matter, I will pay attention."
"..."
Yu Shaoting didn't answer, and Bai Xiao vaguely felt that his answer seemed to make him a little unhappy.
Coincidentally, the whistle of a car sounded nearby, as if to say hello on purpose. Yu Shaoting half-lowered the window and looked out——
A Cayenne stopped nearby, and Lu Jinsheng said hello to Bai Xiao, and then asked Yu Shaoting: "Third brother, we have arranged to stay at Qingxian, how about it?"
Qingxianju is a high-end membership-based chess and card shop in Fengcheng. Those who go there are either big bosses in the business world or those from wealthy family backgrounds.
Bai Xiao used to work at Pei's and often helped Pei Qiyou arrange to go to Qingxianju to play cards and discuss business with his work partners after dinner.
Since she got together with Yu Shaoting, she has hardly seen him come home late because of socializing or partying with friends. If he has to work overtime, he will call and tell her in advance. This is the first time Bai Xiao has seen a friend invite him.
Go play in the evening.
…
As the car drove out of the compound, Bai Xiao turned around, looked at Yu Shaoting and said, "How about you drop us off on the side of the road, and Jing Xi and I can just take a taxi back."
"It's not too late." Yu Shaoting put his hands on the steering wheel and had no intention of stopping halfway.
In the past few years, Yu Shaoting lived in Fengcheng for some days every year. Every time he came back, he would be called by his friends to play cards. In the past, when he was occasionally bored, he would use these entertainment activities to pass the time, but after working with Bai Xiaochu
I can't bring myself to have much interest.
Yu Shaoting glanced at Bai Xiao from the corner of his eyes and suddenly asked her, "Do you want to go and see it together?"
"Huh?" Bai Xiao thought she heard wrongly.
"Anyway, we don't have any other plans for the evening, let's go there together." Yu Shaoting said again, in a very casual tone, keeping his eyes on the road ahead.
"Wouldn't it be good?"
Bai Xiao had heard someone say before that when men are playing, the most taboo thing is for a woman to follow them and stare at them.
She didn't want his friends to be unable to let go because of her.
Yu Shaoting said: "If you don't do the crime of annihilating criminals, why is it not so good?"
——————————
Although Bai Xiao had also met Yu Shaoting's children, she was a little nervous to go there without saying hello.
In fact, I was a little happy because Yu Shaoting opened his mouth and was willing to bring her to his friends and try to integrate her into his circle.
Bai Xiao hugged Yu Jingxi tightly on her lap, and her mood suddenly became very good. She lowered her head and kissed the top of the little guy's hair, and the roots of his ears were a little red and hot.
For a woman, a man's inadvertent actions can move her more than those sweet words.
…
Lu Jinsheng had already arrived at Qingxianju first and called Yu Shaoting to urge him. When he learned that the other party had also arrived, he immediately ran to open the door with his cell phone.
When he saw Bai Xiao and Yu Jingxi standing next to Yu Shaoting outside the door, he was stunned, and then he welcomed them in with a smile: "We're here..."
There were several young men sitting on the sofa in the private room, whom Bai Xiao had met once before, and they all looked towards the door curiously.
Maybe he didn't expect that Yu Shaoting would bring his wife and children. For a moment, there was silence in the box, and the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Yu Shaoting turned his head and asked Bai Xiao in a low voice: "Are you going to the bathroom?"
The temperature on Bai Xiao's face never dropped, and she answered him in a low voice: "I'm not going."
Yu Shaoting threw the car keys on the tea table, turned around and went to the bathroom, not worried at all that something would happen if he left her here.
In the box, there was no lively atmosphere just before they came in.
"Did I disturb you?" Bai Xiao looked at Lu Jinsheng embarrassedly. Among these people, she was the only one who was familiar with him.
"..."
When Lu Jinsheng heard what Bai Xiao said, he hurriedly explained: "How could it be? Let's just play cards and connect with each other." He was afraid that Bai Xiao would misunderstand them.
Yu Jingxi was already unceremoniously tinkering with his favorite candies and pastries in the snack tray on the tea table.
"Jing Xi, come to uncle!" Xin Bai patted the seat next to him.
Seeing that Yu Jingxi didn't buy it, Xin Bai thought about it and took out an exquisite solid gold keychain in the shape of an airplane from his pocket, "Uncle has something good for you."
Yu Jingxi looked at Bai Xiao, as if he was having a fierce psychological struggle, and finally ran to Xin Bai's side.
All the older men, except Yu Shaoting, were single, so they were especially fond of Yu Jingxi.
Another young man named Yan Jing opened his mouth to let Lu Jinsheng and Bai Xiao sit down. He thought the chair was too hard, and finally gave up his single sofa.
Bai Xiao was embarrassed to sit down, but the other party had no intention of sitting back. He casually leaned against the window, holding the teacup, and watched how Yu Jingxi coaxed those 'uncles'.
There were cigarette butts in the ashtray on the tea table. Bai Xiao also smelled smoke when he came in, but now, no one was smoking in the private room.
She couldn't help but wonder, was it because they were worried about her pregnancy?
…
Yu Shaoting came out of the bathroom. Several other people were coaxing Yu Jingxi to play. Bai Xiao was sitting on the single sofa, holding a glass of boiled water in his hand.
He walked over and sat down naturally on the armrest of the single sofa. He put his big knuckled hand on Bai Xiao's right shoulder and said to Lu Jinsheng and others: "Have you all eaten?"
"Don't we have a rich man here?" Someone joked: "Xin Tou opened a VIP box in Wanlong and ate specialties from the Huainan region."
Several people talked about each other for a while, and the topics were all light and interesting. Yu Shaoting didn't say anything except asking a few questions at the beginning.
"Is there anything you want to eat? The desserts here are pretty good." Bai Xiao heard Yu Shaoting suddenly speak.
Knowing that he was talking to himself, Bai Xiao shook his head, raised his head, and smiled at him: "I'm quite full after dinner, and I'm not hungry yet."
There was a brief silence in the box again. Bai Xiao looked away and inadvertently caught sight of other people staring at her intentionally or unintentionally. Yu Shaoting seemed to feel uncomfortable in his throat and cleared his throat. Those eyes fell on Bai Xiao.
They immediately moved away and went to play on their own.
