Only a fool would waste such an opportunity no matter how dire the situation was! Ever since her life was saved twice by Mr.Yong, she promised herself that she would not waste her life anymore and instead, no matter what happened, she would continue to live for him. She would start taking advantage of every opportunity that approached her.
Xia Liqin was looking at her with a blank look on his face. Was she serious?
Wei Sianqi suddenly remembered Lu Mengjie's words. She shouldn't make her feelings for him too obvious. "What I mean is, I want to experience having a boyfriend," she quickly corrected herself.
"Then you should find another guy then," he said as he unfastened his seatbelt.
"But you're the only guy friend I have," she reasoned out. "Also, you said that you'll do anything for me as a thanks for saving your sister."
A knit formed between his brows as he turned his frown at her. "I haven't said those words."
"But you were going to, right?" She pursed her lips as she began acting like a clueless and innocent girl.
"..." No, her cutesy act was not working on him but it was because he didn't want to be indebted to anyone that made him hesitant on agreeing to what she wanted.
"Unn…" Little Peanut snuggled close against Wei Sianqi body for warmth as he continued to sleep.
Xia Liqin turned to the boy for a while. If not for Wei Sianqi, both his sister and nephew could have died that night. If he was a second too late, that man who was about to shoot his sister could have successfully killed his sister. Even Yong Liwei couldn't have been faster than a bullet.
In the end, he sighed in defeat. "Fine. I'll be your boyfriend for three days."
Half of what he said made Wei Sianqi delighted but half of it made her frown in disbelief. "One year!"
"Too long."
"Come on, there's no relationship that lasts for only three days. Also, I said that I wanted to experience having a boyfriend. That means we have to go out and date and do what couples do," she retorted.
He crossed his arms and replied with his usual poker face, "I'm not going to spend even a cent."
"That's alright." She grinned at him. "I'm willing to spend for everything no matter how expensive."
"..." Why was she so eager to date someone like him anyway? It was not like he knew about dating. He was a total beginner and the only people who knew about it was his family. Just because he was a beginner didn't mean that he had to admit it to the girl in front of him or to anyone outside his family. He was still a prideful man. "One week."
She shook her head and bargained once again, "Nine months."
His lips were stretched into a thin line. From the looks of it, he could tell that she was not going to back down so easily. Ah. So troublesome.
He sighed and opened his mouth once again. "Three months. Take it or leave it."
Wei Sianqi was about to complain that it was too short but before she could even say a word, a small hand covered her mouth. She blinked a few times, her eyes landed on the little boy she was carrying.
"Aguu!" He woke up from all the noise coming from the two youngsters.
"It's decided then. I'll date you for three months."
"But—"
Once again, Little Peanut placed his tiny hand on her lips before he began patting her there.
"Let's go." Without waiting for her reply, he got out of the car.
Wei Sianqi turned to the little guy in her arms to which the baby ended up staring back at her.
"Are you saying that 3 months is enough to make your uncle fall for me?" She asked with a pout on her lips.
"Gaaa"
She blinked a few times in confusion. "Is that a yes or a no?"
"Nnngh boo guuu"
"Riiight. I should listen to your advice." She heaved out a sigh. "Why am I even talking to a baby?"
Xia Liqin opened the door on her side and waited for her to get out. "Come."
She stepped out of the car. It was then that she noticed that she was at an unfamiliar place. There was a huge mansion before her.
"Where are we?" She asked as she followed Xia Liqin towards the entrance of the mansion.
"My dad's place. The Lu family residence." He turned to the butler who welcomed them inside and ordered him to call his mother.
Wei Sianqi stopped from taking another step as she ended up looking at him, surprised. They were at her in-law's place?!! "I-I need to fix my hair!"
He raised a brow. "What for?"
"I need to look presentable of course…" she mumbled. She was wearing pink long-sleeved pajamas that had a bunny head print all over since they had rushed out of Xia Liqin's place earlier. If she knew that she would be meeting her in-laws that day, she would have worn something decent.
"Oh, Qinqing, what are you doing here at this hour of the night?" Li Bingbing approached her son.
"Mom, can you take care of…" he paused and turned to look at Wei Sianqi, his eyes landing on the baby. Uh… what was the baby's name again?
When Li Bingbing saw the other girl with a baby in her arms, her eyes grew big. "Y-you…" She darted her gaze at her son and hit his head. "Xia Liqin!! How can you have a baby without telling me?!! "
Xia Liqin: "..."
Wei Sianqi: "..."
"Bibi, what's wrong?" Lu Xian Yu entered the living room.
"This boy… this boy is…" She was pointing at her son. She inhaled deeply as she tried her best to control herself.
"Eh?" Her husband turned to the newcomers. When he saw the baby, his jaw dropped and his eyes were wide in disbelief. "First, it's your sister's marriage, then next… it's your baby! How many more secrets are you keeping from us, Liqin? Are you planning to give us a heart attack?!"
Xia Liqin: "..."
Wei Sianqi: "..."
