"You should laugh more; a smile makes you look ten years younger. So, you see, even though our Tian Tian is twenty, she still looks like a high school student. Many people envy her!"
"Ah, though Grandma is old, her mindset is young and open-minded. Even if she suddenly leaves one day, don’t be too sad; everyone has that day, sooner or later!"
...
As she thought about it, Gu Tiantian’s tears fell like rain.
This ti, Bai Chenyao didn’t wipe her tears away but stared at her coldly.
He reached out and gently lifted her chin.
Facing her tearful eyes, his voice was cold and authoritative.
"This is the last ti!"
Gu Tiantian continued to cry loudly, not even noticing what Bai Chenyao had said.
But she knew she couldn’t go on like this.
Otherwise, even after Grandma left, she wouldn’t be at peace up in heaven.
She must be well, to be worthy of herself and Grandma.
Yet, her heart still ached, it felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart, making it hard for her to breathe, unbearably painful.
Perhaps her body was too weak to withstand such tornt.
Even though she hadn’t been awake for long, as she cried, Gu Tiantian fainted again.
Bai Chenyao’s brows furrowed deeply.
Dean Xu ca to check on her and confird Gu Tiantian fainted due to psychological depression, unable to bear the grief of losing a loved one, and sighed.
"She’s young and physically weak, it’s quite normal for her to be overwheld."
As he spoke, he looked at Bai Chenyao, whose face was gloomy and eyes cold, and took a deep breath.
"I rember Miss Gu’s father passed away when she was ten. Although she was only ten, she was more sensible than most kids her age and fainted from crying several tis. Later, Mrs. Gu comforted and guided her, helping her gradually recover and develop a lively, cheerful, and genuinely affectionate personality."
Noticing Bai Chenyao’s ice-cold glare, Dean Xu awkwardly touched his nose and gave a small laugh.
"Well... I know these things because I went to investigate. Although you and I aren’t very close, my relationship with Old Sir Bai is quite good."
"After all, you are his youngest and most accomplished son, even if I run into people around you, it’s impossible not to check them out."
Trying to ignore Bai Chenyao’s cold, chilling glare, Dean Xu coughed twice to conceal his nervousness and unease.
"This... mainly because you’ve never had a woman by your side before, and since Miss Gu is not a wealthy young lady with matching social status, he worried you might be bewitched by a scheming woman, so he asked to investigate."
Bai Chenyao’s gaze was icy cold as he stared at Dean Xu, his voice chillingly intense.
"I never want others to interfere in my affairs, whether it’s you, Dean Xu, or Mr. Bai!"
Dean Xu’s mouth twitched, trying to say sothing more, but facing Bai Chenyao’s deep, shadowy eyes, after a long while, he sighed.
After a mont of silence, Dean Xu’s voice was barely audible.
"A Yao, he is, after all, your father."
Bai Chenyao’s expression was frozen and cruel, as if a layer of frost had covered his eyes, sharp and chilling enough to freeze one’s heart.
"Is he worthy?"
The cold voice carried no emotion; it was full of mockery and derision.
Though Dean Xu might not know the Bai Family’s affairs clearly, he knew enough.
And after he told Old Sir Bai about Bai Chenyao’s situation, Mr. Bai shared so old Bai Family matters.
