A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 73
Our Little Sister-in-Law (2)
The audience, who had nothing to watch, found a post on the internet.
【Xi Chengyun treated Bai Qi’s roommates to a meal! I’m from Jing University, and I bumped into them at a nearby hotpot restaurant. They went straight into a private room with a few bodyguards following suit】
【Ahh, I’m envious. I want to be Bai Qi’s roommate too】
【Who doesn’t? I saw their picture on my Moments, I’m so jealous, I want to cry】
【I never expected, despite the cancellation of the episode, that I’ll still be able have my fill of sweetness... 】
【Treating his roommates to a meal is nothing. If you have the guts, go meet his parents. I’ll follow your surname if you come back with both your legs in tact】
【? Weird comment. Same-sex marriage was legalized last year, please do us a favor and educate yourself】
There were many on the internet who criticized for the sake of criticizing, but now, many people are standing up for Bai Qi.
However, some people were still curious
 Never have they come across pictures of the two meeting each other’s parents. Oh, right, speaking of which, no one knew the names of Xi Chengyun’s parents too...
And thus, began the netizen’s gruelling quest for answers.
On the other hand, Bai Qi spent four whole days in the library, from day till night. He left when the sky was dark, with Xi Chengyun fetching him home.
In Shang Guang’s office, an assistant knocked on his door and entered.
“Shang-ge, a call for you.”
Shang Guang took a deep breath. “Pass it to me.”
After he accepted the phone, he brought it closer towards himself, and heard a voice that he very much heard enough of over the last few days. “Old Shang, why is Xi-ge not picking up his phone?”
‘Well, if you looked at the news and didn’t stay at home all day, then perhaps, you’d know what’s going on!’
“Xi-ge is on vacation
” Shang Guang found his excuse inappropriate, and quickly took it back. “He’s busy.”
The person on the other end clearly thought that Shang Guang was trying to muddle things over.
“So, is he on vacation or is he busy? Or
” The person paused, then carefully said, “Did I do something to offend Xi-ge during our last meeting?”
“That’s not it. How should I put it
 Xi-ge is on leave now, and won’t be accepting work these days. However, he’s actually using his leave to accompany
” A lump formed in Shang Guang’s throat, and he bit the bullet to finish his sentence, “... his wife to study.”
The person on the other end was silent.
After a while, the voice asked, trembling, “Did I hear you wrong?”
“No, you didn’t,” Shang Guang said, pulling a long face.
“But
 but he still has to pick up his phone despite being a study companion, right?” the person on the other end asked, being more careful than before.
‘I know better than you, who are you to ask?’
“President Yang, our sister-in-law is going to sit for his finals soon. Final exams are very important.”
The person clearly couldn’t understand where he was coming from. “So what? If he does badly, simply donate a building to the school, that should do. Should I do it for them?”
Shang Guang didn’t show his temper. He calmly replied, “May I ask which university President Yang graduated from?”
“Sigh. I joined the working world right after high school. It just so happened that the economy was doing well, so even a pig like me could fly. That’s how I came to have my family business today.”
“Our sister-in-law is from Jing University,” Shang Guang said softly.
“...” The person paused, and said, “I’m sorry for disturbing you.”
Shang Guang felt refreshed after getting off the phone.
Then again, he no longer had a headache or found Bai Qi to be worrisome.
‘Bai Qi’s educational background does make a difference! No wonder Xi-ge chose to marry him! He didn’t cause them to lose face!’
Shang Guang touched his face, and he felt oddly proud of Bai Qi.
On the other end, after the call, President Yang couldn’t help but mutter to himself, “Didn’t that idol tell me that every couple who go on shows are fake? Yet Xi-ge’s relationship is real?”
After quite a few calls, almost half their circle knew that Xi Chengyun was now accompanying his wife to study.
Actually, the ones who were anxious were not just those who phoned Shang Guang, but also the program team of “The Perfectly Married Pair”.
Tons of advertisers were still waiting to give them money for a chance to appear on the show. There was also a line of sugar daddies who were waiting to support their sugar babies by getting them onto the show.
Also, the BTS clips they had were running out...
That night, the gossipy netizens couldn’t help but post:
《You might not believe this, but there are many people who are waiting for the end of Bai Qi’s finals...》
【Finals in Jing University has never been so anticipated, let’s get the ball rolling and finish earlier!】
【I wasn’t able to get into Jing University, but today, I’m also counting down the days till the end of their finals】
The post was full of people wailing.
Jing University’s exams were spread out over a few days, so it wasn’t that stressful for Bai Qi either.
After his last paper, he walked out of the class and made a turn at a corner. Immediately, someone grabbed his arm.
It was neither forceful nor weak.
Bai Qi was confused.
This reminded him of his first encounter with Mr. Xi after they started their contract; it was when Mr. Xi purposely came to campus for an event.
“Do you have your mask on? There are a lot of people here,” Bai Qi turned around as he said.
However, he was not met with Xi Chengyun’s face.
Instead, the young man in front of him was dressed in a black down jacket and had a sparkling gemmed necklace hanging at his chest. Bai Qi also caught a faint whiff of cologne. He took off his shades and smiled. “Did you think I am Xi-laoshi?”
Oh, it wasn’t.
It was Qiu Sichuan.
“The people online are counting down the days till the end of your exams, and I was doing the same.”
Qiu Sichuan still looked as pale as ever, but he looked much better and was in higher spirits.
The haughty and cold demeanor he had on stage, was now only found in his eyes.
