Father Jiang came to his senses and hurriedly called for the steward. âGive a call to our Second Young Master immediately, just tell himâŚâ
Just tell him to not come home.
No, that canât do. Itâll be too obvious if he said that. Han Si will notice that something wasnât right.
Then, how should he put it?
It had been a long time since Father Jiang had fallen into such a dilemma.
He had a tight grip on his walking stick, his grip so strong that it was as if he was about to shove the stick right through the ground.
Xi Chengyun held Bai Qi by the hand and went straight to the other set of sofas. âHave a seat.â
âMn,â Bai Qi replied.
You want me to act as a huli jing? No problem at all!
Due to Father Jiangâs odd reaction, the atmosphere in the living room dropped to a freezing point. No one spoke again in a while.
Isnât this my turn to shine? Bai Qi rubbed his hands against one another.
Bai Qi turned and looked at Xi Chengyun, âI wanna eat grapes,â he said eagerly.
The maid was sharp. She immediately went to wash a plate of grapes and brought them over.
âI donât wanna eat the skin,â Bai Qi said.
Xi Chengyun chuckled lightly, his smile reaching his eyes. He stared deeply at Bai Qi, and then answered, âOkay.â
Xi Chengyun peeled a few grapes for Bai Qi.
Then, Bai Qi wanted to eat mangoes.
Thus, Xi Chengyun peeled a few mangoes for him too. His fingers were beautiful; they looked like an exquisite piece of art as he held the knife in his hand. For a bit, even Han Siâs eyes were also unconsciously attracted to them.
Father Jiang felt like he was going to have a heart attack when he continued to look at this spectacle.
Heâs never met such a conceited vixen!
Isnât Xi Chengyun scared?
Bai Qi had a round of fruit-eating. He mostly only took a few bites of each; he portrayed his fussiness to the extreme.
After that, he wanted to watch TV.
Father Jiang really couldnât stand it any longer. He angrily said, âWhat on earth are you doing? To bring such a thing back home. Are you doing this on purpose to infuriate me?â
This thing is nothing more than a layer of skin!
Father Jiang had a complete loss of composure as he gritted through his teeth, âWhatâs so good about people like him? Heâs only here for your money, your recognition, your statusâŚâ
Here it comes!
This performance. I can do it!
Bai Qi suddenly got up.
âWhat are you doing?â Father Jiang asked, his face in a shade of ash.
This thing couldnât possibly dare to hit him just because he had Xi Chengyunâs support, right?
Father Jiang couldnât really tell either, since Xi Chengyun hadnât thought of him as his father for a long time. Under the influence of Xi Chengyun, perhaps this little vixen thought little of him too.
Father Jiang was seeing red as he exclaimed, âXi Chengyun! Wake upâŚâ
He really wanted to tell his elder son, Take a proper look at yourself. Youâre merely a cold-blooded monster hiding under a gentle exterior! Who the f*ck would truly like you?
Do you really think you can use this boy to piss us off?
Before Father Jiang could finish his sentence, Bai Qi sat onto Xi Chengyunâs lap, straddling him. He was a bit wobbly when he sat, his bottom slipped, and he almost fell off Xi Chengyun.
Xi Chengyunâs irises darkened as he lowered his head. Then, he supported Bai Qi by his waist and helped Bai Qi to sit properly.
Bai Qiâs hand immediately stretched backward, hooking Xi Chengyun by the neck. He intimately nestled into Xi Chengyunâs shoulder, and whispered softly, âEverything about him is splendid, and I adore every single part of him. You surely canât understand, since there arenât many people like him on this planet⌠Oh, or perhaps itâs because heâs only unrelentingly good towards me. What? Youâve never seen it before? Arenât you supposed to be his father?â
This should be whorish enough.
Iâm giving myself a thumbs up!
Bai Qi thought as he clapped for himself in his heart.
Father Jiang clutched his chest. âHaaâŚâ
ââŚâ Han Si reacted.
She couldnât bear to take another look at Bai Qi.
This âdaughter-in-lawâ who had come over for dinner for the first time was way more unrestrained than her during her first visit.
Xi Chengyun laughed, unable to hold back his laughter.
He had heard a lot of praises in his life.
He had a lot of fans, and many of them knew how to flatter him. However, it seemed so much more meaningful when the praises came from Bai Qi.
Truly, it seemed like heâd uncovered a treasure from the hands of that piece of trash.
Father Jiang became even angrier after hearing Xi Chengyun laugh.
Just then, the kitchen door creaked open and an attractive middle-aged lady slowly sauntered over. âThe foodăthe food is ready⌠I knew that Chengyun would be coming over today, so I purposely prepared some dishes myself,â she said in an unnaturally strained voice.
Due to this, Father Jiang suppressed his anger. He managed to not blow up in anger again.
âI think youâve addressed me the wrong way,â Xi Chengyun stated indifferently.
