Chapter 445 My fault
Realizing this, the men were in an extremely bad mood.
midnight.
Bai Yisha got up to go to the toilet.
The night was so dark it seemed to drip ink; there was no moon in the sky, only one or two stars that were faintly visible through the sparse clouds.
Bai Yisha came out of the bathroom, yawned, and looked at her phone.
It was already 2:30 a.m.
After using the toilet, she was wide awake and couldn't fall asleep.
She remembered that Qi Ye had told her that afternoon that if she had made up her mind, she should bring her things and go to No. 28 Qingtang Street to find him.
"No. 28, Qingtang Street..."
Bai Yisha looked around on the map and found that Qingtang Street was a Taoist temple.
The corners of her mouth twitched.
However, she thought of Xi Yanchen's broken state that afternoon, pursed her lips, and took out her phone to try to send a message to Cheng Wangxun.
Bai Yisha: [Ah Xun, wake me up tomorrow morning when you wake up, I need to talk to you.]
She assumed Cheng Wangxun would have been asleep by now.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Wangxun replied to her instantly.
Cheng Wangxun: [What's wrong? Can't sleep? Why did you suddenly wake up around 2 AM?]
Bai Yisha paused for a moment, then sat back down on the bed and started typing on her phone.
Bai Yisha: [I just went to the bathroom, and then I couldn't fall back asleep. I remembered something I need to discuss with you. Why aren't you asleep yet?]
Cheng Wangxun: [Yes, there's a new project at the company, and it's a bit tricky.]
Bai Yisha: [Are you free now? If so, I'll come over to see you.]
At this moment, Cheng Wangxun leaned back in his chair, rubbing the corner of his eye with one hand, his tired expression revealing his exhaustion.
The new project he was referring to was actually the Xi family's project.
It wasn't about avenging Xi Yanchen, but rather that they felt Xi Yanxian's drugging of Bai Yisha had crossed their line.
With the Xi family and the An family backing him, it would be incredibly easy for Xi Yan to bully Bai Yisha.
Xi Simin severed his father-son relationship with Xi Yanchen and had no connection with the Xi family, so he also participated in this plan.
Bringing down the An and Xi families is not something that can be done overnight.
Leaving aside the Xi family, the An family in Haicheng could be considered the Lu family of Kyoto at its peak.
Looking at the text Bai Yisha had typed, Cheng Wangxun pondered for a moment and wrote: 【Don't move, I'm coming to find you.】
Bai Yisha: [Oh, then I'll open the door for you.]
Soon after, there were three knocks on the door, and Bai Yisha's phone rang once.
Cheng Wangxun: [Ancestor, open the door, I'm at the door.]
When Bai Yisha opened the door, she saw Cheng Wangxun, dressed in silk pajamas, leaning against the door with a kingly smile on his lips.
Seeing this, she smiled and pounced on him, rushing into his arms.
"Axun!"
Cheng Wangxun chuckled, then picked her up by the waist and carried her into the house, slamming the door shut behind him.
"So delicate, what mischievous thing are you hiding?"
He liked it when Bai Yisha treated him like that, even though it seemed like she was asking him for something, he was happy to oblige.
But it's so late at night...
It's easy to get into trouble.
He'll leave after a short while.
Bai Yisha wrapped her arms around his neck and was carried to the edge of the bed where he sat her on his lap.
Only then did she notice the dark circles under Cheng Wangxun's eyes. She reached out and touched the corner of his eye, her voice tinged with heartache.
"What project is going on so late? I'll give you the money, okay? You don't want that project anymore. Your eyes are bloodshot."
Cheng Wangxun wrapped one arm around her slender waist and held the hand she was using to touch his face with the other, chuckling, "Spending your own wife's money, what kind of skill is that? What, feeling sorry for me?"
"Yes, it hurts."
Bai Yisha's smile vanished, replaced by a serious expression, her watery eyes reflecting Cheng Wangxun's face.
Cheng Wangxun was momentarily distracted by her gaze. He lowered his eyes, bent down and kissed her, his voice slightly hoarse: "If you feel sorry for me, call me husband."
"Mmm...husband."
Her watery eyes rippled, and a faint blush appeared on her beautiful face, making her exceptionally pretty.
Cheng Wangxun couldn't resist giving him another kiss and asked, "Is there anything you want to discuss with me?"
After careful consideration, Bai Yisha recounted the story of Xi Yanchen's mother's belongings from beginning to end, including Old Master Yao's dream and the exchange between her and Qi Ye.
"Qi Ye initially took a liking to this Buddhist prayer bead string. After I refused, he then asked for this bracelet. However, the bracelet was given to me by Grandma He. Of course, I was also very reluctant to part with the Buddhist prayer bead string. I struggled for a long time and wanted to ask for your opinion on whether I could hand over the Buddhist prayer bead string first and then take it back."
At worst, I'll just lose some merit points.
Cheng Wangxun pinched her cheek and said, "What you're doing is my fault."
"what?"
Bai Yisha suddenly looked at him with confusion.
Cheng Wangxun continued, "It's my fault. I only made you a Buddhist prayer bead string. You can throw this prayer bead string out to feed the dogs tomorrow. I'll make you a hundred more so you can wear them in rotation."
He thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter.
The reason he gave her the Buddhist prayer beads was because he was provoked by He Zhizhou's gimmick about being her future daughter-in-law, so he got her a string of prayer beads and started talking about it too.
Seeing how much Bai Yisha treasured the Buddhist beads, he was naturally pleased.
But why would his precious daughter need to lose sleep over a Buddhist rosary?
That's not worth it at all.
Moreover, even that old pervert He Zhizhou could tell her to exchange the chain, let alone his, which was just a string of Buddhist prayer beads.
It's just some jewelry added; it wouldn't cost hundreds of millions.
A crystalline halo appeared in Bai Yisha's eyes, and her red lips pursed slightly.
"Ah Xun, you're so kind... I want to spend a lot of money on you!"
Cheng Wangxun suppressed a laugh and leaned down to gently bite her earlobe.
"Get some rest. In the future, if anything happens, come to me immediately, just like you did today. Anything concerning you is of utmost importance to me."
Bai Yisha shrank back because of the tickling sensation, and her initial urge to cry was instantly interrupted.
Looking at Cheng Wangxun's face, she became even bolder.
She reached out and hooked her arm around Cheng Wangxun's neck, then took a bite of his lip and said, "Then tell me a story to lull me to sleep or sing me a song to lull me to sleep, okay?"
Cheng Wangxun's gaze lingered on her lips for a few seconds, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Does she know how alluring she looks?
Cheng Wangxun, who originally only intended to stay for a while and then return, gradually darkened his gaze, placed the person on the bed, and leaned down to press down on him.
"Before you tell me the story, let me have some dessert. I'm a little hungry."
……
……
The next morning, Bai Yisha kissed the prayer beads several times with reluctance, put them in a box, and set off with the three of them.
Accompanying them were Lu Mingxing, Xi Yanchen, and Lu Jingyan.
Song Yumi discovered a big secret: Cheng Wangxun and He Zhizhou were typing away on their keyboards early in the morning.
Bai Yisha didn't understand, nor did she know when they had started a collaborative project.
No. 28 Qingtang Street.
"Hey, you're here?"
Bai Yisha: "..."
Seeing the scene before her, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
