Meng Yuqian was really petrified, he looked at her in astonishment, the smile on his face had long since stiffened along with his childish voice. So she wasn't lying to him, she really lived here, and there was this … Child.
Several dishes and steaming hot rice porridge filled up the small table.
Little White was licking the porridge in his kennel. The two fishes had eaten to the point where not even their bones were left.
Bai Jinxi carried the baby and blew at the porridge, and with a soft 'ah', the baby immediately opened his mouth and took it.
The steam from the porridge was rising. He had just finished pretending to be in charge of heating up the room, and his body was still drenched in sweat. It was rather warm.
Meng Yuqian ate a bowl of white porridge. There were no specially cooked dishes, and the tranquil atmosphere made his appetite grow even more. The room was completely residential, with a table surrounded by two adults and a cute, wide-eyed child. Finally, he drank another bowl of porridge, which made him sweat profusely.
Bai Jinxi couldn't help but remind him: "Be careful, it's hot." He wasn't a four-year-old baby, so he didn't know why the porridge was so hot. The baby was curious about him and guessed that he was his mother's friend. He didn't ask and just obediently ate the porridge and vegetables.
He ate very quickly, without any particular refined image. He looked very different from Meng Yuqian, as if he was very hungry, and if he was even a little bit faster, Bai Jinxi would have had to devour him like a wolf was devouring his food. Bai Jinxi pursed his lips, lowered his head, and silently gave him a mouthful of porridge. After the baby swallowed the porridge, he pointed his short finger at: "Uncle, have you eaten for a long time?"
Meng Yuqian laughed heartily: "How can you call your guests like that, it's rude."
The baby stuck out his tongue, a rare mischievous tone, "What I said was the truth. Uncle looks like he hasn't eaten in a long time."
pursed his lips and smiled.
Her lips were red, her teeth white, her eyes curved into a crescent moon. There was some happiness in them, some restraint, like a child's.
This was the first time Meng Yuqian saw her smile, and she looked at him a little entranced: "Uncle is using the spirit of not wasting food."
"It's better if you don't hold on. If you can't finish it, you can give it to Little White. It's fine!" Bai Jinxi said with a mysterious tone and laughed.
Meng Yuqian coughed, he was just about to say something impolite, acting like a magnanimous guest, but after reading her words again, he pretended to look angry: "Stupid child, you're talking about me."
Bai Jinxi pursed his lips and smiled, the baby interrupted, "Xiao Bai holds a very high position in our family. Mom loves me the most, second love Xiao Bai."
The words of a child were unintentional, but they made people feel different emotions. Bai Jinxi immediately replied sternly: "I won't say anything else, don't say anything during dinner, do you understand?" The baby was usually a very obedient child. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Mom, it was you who spoke to the uncle first."
Meng Yuqian could not help but smile, "Your mother means not to talk to her. You and uncle should be fine, tell me how old you are this year, what is father doing, have you studied yet, did you have a girlfriend?" He acted like a kind and gentle big brother. God knew that he was a man that was almost in his thirties, but he didn't expect him to be so naive.
The baby blinked, "My name is Bai Jian Hao. I'm four years old this year, and I'll be attending the kindergarten class next year." After some thought, he asked, "Uncle, what is a girlfriend?"
"A girlfriend is a wife!" She was cute and a little naughty, she would not be naughty to the point of scaring an old man like him, nor would she be quiet to the point of not sharing a common topic. What was even more interesting was that she and Bai Jinxi had a surname …
The baby answered, "What can a girlfriend do?"
Meng Yuqian laughed: "I'll cook for you, I'll help you pick out some clothes, give you a bath water, and we'll sleep together at night." He deliberately misled his children and spoke of these uses. However, in his heart, he had some extravagant hopes. The smile on his face was as impeccable as ever.
Bai Jinxi looked at their questions and answers, the baby had a lot more to say than usual, she absentmindedly thought, as if there was benefit in having an extra person at home, at least she would be able to eat an endless amount of food, would accompany the child to talk when he was bored, would carry the child out on holidays, etc.
The baby shook his head with a determined expression. "I don't need a girlfriend. Having a mother is enough." In the child's memory, the mother knew all of these uses, and she didn't need anyone else at all.
"Brat," Meng Yuqian laughed, but before his laughter could spread, the baby turned around and added, "Do you have a boyfriend? Would a boyfriend do more for his girlfriend? I'd like to have a boyfriend to take care of my mom. "
The child did not realize that he had said the wrong thing. He only heard Meng Yuqian laughed: "If you have a boyfriend, uncle is very willing, but I'm just afraid that your mother might not agree." As he spoke, he untied the chain on his hand, walked over to the baby, brought it to his wrist and tied the knot. "You help your uncle convince your mother that her uncle wants to be her boyfriend, okay?"
How could he joke with a child like that? The child was the easiest to take seriously, how could they tell if he was a joke or not? Bai Jinxi glared at him fiercely, but he pretended not to see. He shamelessly said to her, "It's not a precious thing. You don't have to care about it. Just treat it as a greeting gift for a child. This child and I are on good terms. It feels like we have been together for ten lifetimes."
Actually, he was quite charming and handsome. Although she did not know his identity, she could guess that his status was not ordinary.
The night passed so quickly that the baby was drowsy and he was still hanging on. She could not bear to leave.
"Then you have to compensate me. Next time when I'm paid, you can treat me to a meal. It has to be a 5-star meal. Taking the child along, I find it strange that he likes things that are rumoured to fall in love at first sight!" She walked him to the door and listened to his banter. His hard work was indeed wrong, and she could not refuse it. She vaguely agreed.
Even after he left, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did she suddenly become friends with someone of unknown origin? He seemed to be very familiar with her. He was extremely confused as to when he had met such a person … By the way, I don't know his name yet. I'll ask him next time when I'm free, she thought to herself.
The other party said that she had already paid for it, even if she did not accept it, she would not be able to refund it anyway. She could only sign her name and put it on the table as a decoration, wrapping up small and cute gifts that had to be placed on all four corners, she did not have the time to guess what was inside and placed it in a drawer, preparing to give it back to him when she saw him.
At lunch break, he drove to the door and waited for her to go to lunch. The number five one was amazing.
Sen Zhimei, who was accompanying her, looked at her in astonishment. Some of his colleagues recognized that he was the BMW prince from the rain and looked at her with astonished eyes.
Bai Jinxi felt that wasting time at work was a very funny thing, so he refused him under Sen Zhimei's stunned gaze.
Although this act seemed forced, she did it naturally, because she didn't have any extravagant thoughts in her heart.
She was content to have the job, not wanting to be surprised at work any longer, to be in a relationship about losing her job, to learn to be independent early on, to be less likely to fall in love with an ordinary girl, and he seemed to have expected it, and he didn't get angry, and drove off in a carefree manner.
The females in the office were indeed the most gossipy crowd. However, in just one afternoon, the news about her and the BMW prince had spread. Now, in every department, wherever there were women, there would be rumors of Bai Jinxi getting to know the BMW prince, and the rumors would spread like wildfire.
Some people in the company had a whole new level of respect for her. Some people even took her looks and talked, but no one knew when her resume was released, and no one mentioned her relationship with Jiang Lingchen in private. At that time, she had earned the job through relationships, and even used Jiang Lingchen's connections to get to know his friends.
But …
What happened made her at a loss whether to laugh or cry, she simply did not know Jiang Lingchen's contact number!
When he found Han You and asked him for his cell phone number from the department downstairs, he said that he had called him, but his phone was not turned on. She had no choice but to continue the work at hand. In fact, her work was mainly responsible for his connections. He was not at work now, and as time went on she did not know many people and did not have much work, and the whole day went by in a leisurely fashion.
When they were about to get off work, the customer informed them, "When will Director Jiang come? Last time, you clearly promised to give me an answer by this afternoon. What is the time now? May I ask if your Jiang Lin Group has the correct timing concept?! "
Bai Jinxi hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry, Director Jiang has been delayed these past two days. I'll go ask him now, and then I'll help you recover, okay?"
The other party snorted, "What a busy person. I don't know who is cooperating with whom. Alright, pass him a message. If you don't cooperate with me sincerely, I'll send you my message for this business!"
A moment later, when the call ended, she secretly broke out in a cold sweat.
After thinking for a while, he felt that it was very likely that Jiang Lingchen was in the villa. According to his previous impression, at least he still had some change of clothes in his room, and it was likely that he would spend the night there. He packed his stuff and quickly rushed to his house.
After waiting for a long time for no one to come to his villa, she stomped her feet in frustration.
She did not know how she was going to get in, nor did the front door have a bell, and even if he was there, she did not know, but waiting until it was getting dark was not a long way off. As she was thinking about leaving, she accidentally caught a glimpse of something suspicious on the iron railing.
The key circled the door a few times. Soon, the door opened. I didn't expect it to be so easy.
