When Bai iyue saw that her mother had cald down, she heaved a sigh of relief. Then she said to her mother, "I brought back salmon and so more seafood with this ti. Mom, can you make so grilled salmon for tonight? I also want to drink the fish ball soup that you used to make when I was young —it has been so many years since I drank it."
Though Bai iyue said those words because she wanted to calm her mother down, she was not lying. She was indeed missing the fishball soup that her mother used to make when she was a child. Back in her past life, she was fooled by the chocolates and snacks brought by Bai Qingshi and followed him.
She thought that those snacks were more delicious than the food cooked by her mother but when Bai iyue grew up, she realised that the real warmth and taste was within the dishes cooked by her mother.
When Mother Bai heard that Bai iyue missed the fish ball soup that she cooked, she imdiately smiled. But on the surface, she glared at Bai iyue and said to her, "You girl, you really know how to say words that would please ."
Though she said those harsh words, she was smiling from one ear to the other. But because her mother wanted to pretend that she was still angry, Mother Bai tried her best to suppress the curl of her lips and ignore Bai iyue.
Bai iyue heaved a sigh of relief. After handling her mother, she went back to her room where she started preparing the things that she would need to go to the southern district when —
Ring. ring. Ring.
The ringing of the doorbell stopped her movents; she turned to look at the door and walked over.
When Bai iyue opened the door and saw Lei Qian, she arched her brow and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Lei Qian leaned forward. With his arm resting on the doorfra, he looked down at her and remarked, "I heard that you are going on a hunt with Shen Zhen?"
Hearing his question, she turned to look at Shen Zhen, who ducked her head and scurried inside the penthouse. Seeing the actions of the woman, Bai iyue was speechless. She knew that Shen Zhen was worried about her but she felt slightly helpless when she saw her ddling in her matters.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Lei Qian reached out and snapped his fingers right in front of her face. He raised his brows and questioned, "What? What are you thinking?"
"What is it with you? Even if I was going on a hunt, what does that have to do with you?" Bai iyue asked with a raise of her brow.
Her voice was cold and she was looking at him indifferently but Lei Qian still smiled at her while ignoring the subtle 'get lost' vibes that were oozing out of her skin.
"I will be going with you," Lei Qian stated calmly, showing no signs of anger.
"There is no need—"
Lei Qian pushed his face right into Bai iyue's face, making the woman pull away from him. She eyed him warily and then heard him say, "But I want to go with you. If you leave and I don't go with you, then I am worried that I will die because of distress."
"Distress over what?" Bai iyue questioned.
As if he already expected such a question, Lei Qian smirked. He stretched out his hand and skimd the back of his hand on Bai iyue's cheek. She heard him say, "Over you, my wife."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai iyue's face turned bright red. She slapped the hand that was acting all rogue with her and glared at him. "What—what? Who is your wife?"
Lei Qian blinked his eyes innocently and said to her, "Of course it's you." Noticing the confusion and anger in her eyes, he gasped and covered his chest with his hands and exclaid, "Don't tell —you wanted to use and throw ?"
"Oh my dear heavens, after the way you used , how can you do this to ?"
Bai iyue: "..."
This tone, why did it sound so similar to a damsel in distress?
She eyed the man with a shocked look in her eyes. After a second later, she recovered from her shock and spluttered, "You —are you really —have you gone mad!?"
What was this man trying to do? Why did he use such a disgusting tone? What was he even trying to do?
Lei Qian tilted his head to one side and pouted, "Yueyue, you are not being nice. How can you say such a thing to ? A night as husband and wife counts for a lifeti of grace. My mom taught that I need to be responsible for the woman whom I took as my wife."
"I don't need you to—"
"But I want to do it," Lei Qian smiled at Bai iyue and for a second, the woman was dazzled by his smile. She blinked her eyes and shook her head; only then did she feel a bit better. However, she still felt a bit lost.
She glared at the man and said to him, "Get lost!"
After she finished speaking, she closed the door. She had no intention of taking this shaless vixen with her.
However, when she climbed down the stairs and arrived at the first floor, she saw the man standing in the parking lot. Seeing Lei Qian waiting for her, she sighed helplessly.
"You are here?" Lei Qian ignored her expression just as he ignored her actions of treating him like air. "I have been waiting for you for a while. Where are we going today?"
Bai iyue closed her eyes and released a sigh. She understood that there was no way she would be able to get rid of this man; thus, she could only answer, "We are going to the southern district."
"I see. Then—"
"There they are!"
