Chapter 25：Bai Yan’s a Dog

While ignoring Fang Miaoling's rage, Ji Xiaonian then turned around and headed to the sink. While snickering, Ji Xiaonian answered, "Let me be frank, I've already known Bai Yan for a long time. From what I heard, aside from the doctors who handled me, the first person who carried me when I was born was Bai Yan himself!"

At least, that was what she had heard from her brother. It was said that when the doctors and nurses brought her out of the ward, Ji Xiaonian had been wailing terribly. However, the moment she landed in Bai Yan's arms, she immediately stopped crying.

Moreover, Bai Yan had even smiled at the sight.

When that happened, a fair number of the doctors and even Ji Chen were shocked.

However, Ji Xiaonian was not exactly sure of the details of her birth. After all, she was just born!

After washing her hands, Ji Xiaonian then turned to look at Fang Miaoling. Noticing the look of disbelief on her face, Ji Xiaonian then helplessly shook her head as she poked fun, saying, "Sounds unbelievable, huh? Hahaha, I'm lying to you. How could I have known Bai Yan beforehand?"

Noticing how much Fang Miaoling's tempered had toned down after that moment of shock, Ji Xiaonian then patted her shoulder and stated, "Let's go and grab our dinner. Your Big Brother Bai's still waiting for us!"

Once she had finished her sentence, Ji Xiaonian ignored Fang Miaoling and headed out.

As Ji Xiaonian's silhouette receded in the distance, Fang Miaoling began to have doubts.

'Did… Did she really know Bai Yan beforehand?'

'But I don't recall her mentioning him before this.'

'No, no, that's impossible. Professor Bai is so rich, and he always drives a luxury car to school. It's clear from a single glance that he's from a powerful background, so there's no way that he knew Ji Xiaonian beforehand.'

'Hah, I won't believe Ji Xiaonian's lies!'

Meanwhile, in the restaurant.

Ji Xiaonian had just returned, and once again, she sat beside Bai Yan. He had already finished his meal and was currently scrolling through his phone.

A glint could be seen within Ji Xiaonian's huge round eyes as she pestered him. "Brother Yan, are you really bringing Fang Miaoling home? Then wouldn't she be living together with you in the future?"

Bai Yan raised his head and stared at her. In a cold tone, he asked, "Do you have a problem with it?"

Ji Xiaonian vigorously nodded, "Yes, a huge one."

"Speak." Bai Yan's face was devoid of emotion as he continued looking through the emails that Ji Chen had sent him.

"Umm… If Fang Miaoling were to live together with you, then, I'd like to live with you as well. Otherwise, what if you develop feelings for her as well? No, I won't allow it. I'll lock you by my side and prevent any other woman from seducing you!"

Furthermore, Fang Miaoling had been treating Ji Xiaonian poorly in recent days. This triggered an ominous premonition within Ji Xiaonian as if she would lose her sole desire sooner or later.

"What kind of thoughts are going on in your mind, Ji Xiaonian? Even if I were to fall for someone else, what right do you have to stop me? Plus, I despise people who are distrustful of others. This is your last warning."

After giving her a cold look, Bai Yan then ignored Ji Xiaonian and continued to set his attention on the contents within his phone.

Seeing that Bai Yan was acting on his temper yet again, Ji Xiaonian pouted and stated, "You really have a poor temper. I doubt that anyone else other than me would be willing to suck up that nasty attitude of yours!"

"What did you just say?" Although he had heard her words clearly, Bai Yan had still asked the question.

Ji Xiaonian met his gaze and continued, "I said, that you don't know how to be affectionate! This is not the way a man should treat their partner!"

"…"

Bai Yan stared down at the grumbling girl. After some time, he finally responded, "What made you think that you and I are of that kind of relationship?"

Ji Xiaonian raised her head and showed a confident look as she stated, "If you're already bound to be my boyfriend in two years, then why can't I just act like your girlfriend beforehand? I don't care, you're already mine. Plus, I've already seen THAT. You know what I'm talking about, I've already seen you from top to bottom, so I have a responsibility to you too!"

Ji Xiaonian pointed at Bai Yan's nether regions as she spoke. Her face was red with embarrassment and was slightly ashamed after looking at him in the face.

Heck, forget Ji Xiaonian, even Bai Yan himself was made speechless at those words.

The moment he thought back on the events that night, his eyelids twitched.

A moment later, he then awkwardly pursed his lips and stood up. "I'll be heading home now. You'd better return to school too!"

"I want to return home with you as well! Plus, you'll be heading to the office tomorrow morning anyway, so it's not like you can't send me to school along the way. Even if you don't bring me to school, I can ask my brother as well."

She then lunged at Bai Yan's arm, and with eyes sparkling like the stars, she gave a pleading look at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan turned to look at her, and in a merciless manner, he brushed her hand away. He then continued in a cold tone, "Ji Xiaonian, if you continue being this clingy, you can forget about the event in two years."

Once his voice subsided, Bai Yan began to leave.

Seeing that Bai Yan was playing hard to get, Ji Xiaonian quickly thought up a plan and brought out her phone. She then pretended to make a phone call and said, "Hello? Yifei? I want to go home, hurry up and…"

Bring me home…

However, before Ji Xiaonian had finished her sentence, her phone was grabbed by a certain someone. Following that, she was dragged out of the restaurant.

Ji Xiaonian staggered to keep up with the man's pace. She tilted her head and asked, "Um, didn't you want me to stop being clingy? Then why are you dragging me away?"

"Stay away from that man in the future," Bai Yan vaguely replied.

Bai Yan felt that he had finally lost it.

After all, he was already at the exit of the restaurant by the time he heard the girl's call. When that happened, he immediately returned and grabbed her phone from her.

However, even after he took a glance at the phone and noticed that there was no call being made, he did not get angry. Instead, he led her like a hen leading its chick, all the way into his vehicle.

After being tossed into the shotgun seat, Ji Xiaonian smirked delightedly. Upon noticing Bai Yan and how he was about to start the vehicle, she then reminded, "Umm… Isn't this a little abrupt? What about Fang Miaoling? Is it really alright to leave her alone in the restaurant?"

Bai Yan ignored her. Subsequently, he put on his Bluetooth and gave Fang Miaoling a call.

In truth, Fang Miaoling had already been keeping an eye on Bai Yan and Ji Xiaonian in secret from the moment she left the washroom.

She felt that there was something fishy between them, and it was only after Bai Yan had brought Ji Xiaonian into his vehicle that she realized that the two were really acquainted.

Moreover, it was also highly likely that it was as Ji Xiaonian had told her, that they were already acquainted well beforehand, and that there was a layer of intimacy between them.

'If so, what does that make me?'

A sour sensation began to well up within her chest.

Just as she had gotten depressed and was about to leave, her phone rang.

She took out her phone and answered the call. Upon answering, the man's voice, filled with gravitas came out from the other end saying, "I have something to attend to, and as such, I've left early. Once you're done with dinner, you should return to your dorm."

Fang Miaoling gave a soft "Okay", and she hung up the phone dejectedly a moment later.

Meanwhile, within the confines of the luxurious Bugatti Veyron.

Ji Xiaonian was feeling pretty good. She constantly eyed at Bai Yan while whistling a light tune.

Seeing how handsome he was, Ji Xiaonian then lustfully winked as she called out, "Brother Yan."

Bai Yan did not respond.

Ji Xiaonian increased her voice and called out once more, "Brother Bai Yan."

The man continued to remain silent.

Annoyed, Ji Xiaonian yelled aloud, "Bai Yan, you're an arrogant, loyal dog."
