Her cheeks suddenly flushed a deep red.
“Or do you want me to take you home?”
Did he really have to talk like that to be happy?
She raised her head, wearing an expression of utter seriousness.
“Do you find it amusing to tease women, Mr.
Xiao?
You’re always so obvious about it.
Is it because you don’t want your family to know that you’re actually gay?”
Gay?
Xiao Lijin was baffled.
“Also, please keep your distance from me in the future.”
With that, she got in the car and left.
Xiao Lijin quickly understood.
Could it be because they met at a gay encounter that she mistook him for gay?
Well played, Bai Qingzhu.
You win.
…
Bai Qingzhu’s cheeks were still flushed.
She swore she had never been bullied by a man to this extent before.
Damn it, she couldn’t let her best friend Dongfang Ling fall into the hands of such a man for the rest of her life.
She called her, but strangely, no one picked up.
After waiting a bit longer, the call finally connected.
Before Bai Qingzhu had a chance to speak, Dongfang Ling said, “Qingzhu, I’m a bit busy these days.
I’ll call you back when I’m free, muah!”
Then the line went dead.
What could be so important that she’s busy with?
But this meant she wouldn’t have a chance to see Xiao Lijin now, right?
As soon as she entered the house, a tiny, pink, and tender child ran up to her and clung tightly to her legs.
“Mommy, you’re back, I missed you so much!”
Bai Qingzhu squatted down and hugged the tiny adorable girl, “Mommy missed you too.
How was your day at kindergarten?”
“Not bad, but some boys didn’t dare to look at me.
When they made eye contact, their cheeks turned red.
I thought little boys in Huaxia didn’t understand anything!”
Bai Qingzhu laughed and gently scraped her little nose, “Isn’t it just because you’re too pretty, and you’ve charmed them all?”
“I’m pretty because I look like Mommy.”
The little one began to act coquettishly in her arms.
Although Bai Qingzhu’s lips curved into a smile, she knew very well that her daughter’s beauty was nothing like hers.
Watching her chatter about her day in kindergarten, Bai Qingzhu gradually felt an illusion, as if the one talking to her wasn’t Bai Yumiao, but Xiao Lijin.
This startled her into a jolt!
What was going on, why was she thinking of that damned man out of the blue?
Bai Yumiao waved her chubby little hand in front of her, “Mommy, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing, nothing at all.”
Upon a closer look, Bai Yumiao bore no resemblance to Xiao Lijin.
How could her thoughts have wandered to him?
She must be experiencing a culture shock from just returning, causing the hallucination.
Yes, that must be it!
“Miaomiao, I have good news for you.
Today, Mommy went to look at a house, and I bought it.
It won’t be long before we can move into our own home.”
“Really?
Mommy, will you decorate my room like I told you before?”
Bai Qingzhu’s face showed a loving smile, “Of course, I will.
I’ll talk to the decoration company tomorrow about your ideas and guarantee that your little princess room will be decorated beautifully.”
She indeed had a house in the U.S., but it wasn’t very big and she hadn’t bought another for years.
The reason was to buy a large one when she returned to Huaxia someday.
This time the house prices were cut by fifty percent…
Suddenly, she connected a thought.
Xiao Lijin was there, and he just happened to offer her a fifty percent discount.
Was it really such a coincidence?
