Seeing the cub’s low spirits, Qiao Ci immediately denied, “I’m not, I’m not, don’t talk nonsense!”
Bai Xingyan’s eyes lit up, “Then let’s date. I want to be with you forever.”
Qiao Ci was silent for a moment, her tone muffled, “I don’t want forever…”
Bai Xingyan’s gaze immediately dimmed, “Why?”
“You, do you want to be with someone else… forever?”
He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.
“There’s no one else,” Qiao Ci said with some annoyance. “Actually, I don’t even know how long I’ll live. If I leave, how much will you suffer…”
Upon hearing this, Bai Xingyan nervously held Qiao Ci, examining her from head to toe, his voice trembling, “Is there something wrong with your health? Are you feeling unwell?”
As he spoke, he pulled her to find a doctor, “We’re already at the hospital, let’s get you checked. Don’t be afraid, medical technology is very advanced now, many illnesses can be cured…”
“I’m not sick,” Qiao Ci said speechlessly. “I’m just worried that if I accidentally leave one day, you won’t be able to handle it. It’s fine as it is, we can be friends. You can find your own happiness, and if I leave, you’ll only be sad for a little while.”
“What are you thinking about all day?” Bai Xingyan found it somewhat amusing and exasperating that the mature and steady Qiao Ci would also be so insecure and naive.
He clasped Qiao Ci’s waist and pulled her into his arms, “Don’t talk nonsense. Who curses themselves like that? We will both be well, and we will live for a very, very long time.”
“You don’t understand,” Qiao Ci shook her head. She couldn’t tell her cub about the system.
Bai Xingyan became anxious, “What are you worried about? Are you worried that if you leave, I’ll commit suicide to follow you?”
Commit suicide to follow…
Qiao Ci’s eyes darkened slightly.
Sharply catching Qiao Ci’s emotions, Bai Xingyan promised, “Don’t worry, if that day ever comes, I won’t kill myself to accompany you. I will live well.”
“Really?” Qiao Ci looked at him seriously.
“Really!” At this moment, the young man couldn’t think too much, nor did he feel that he would seek death if someone was gone.
Qiao Ci carefully looked at the boy’s sincere eyes and pursed her lips, “You’ll let me touch you, let me hug you, and won’t resist?”
The boy’s eyes were filled with joy. He looked indulgently at this cute and slow-witted woman and nodded, “Yes, you can touch me, hug me, and I won’t resist.”
Qiao Ci reached out, encircling the young man’s lean waist, and said with a smile, “Remember what you said. No matter what happens, live well.”
“Mm,” Bai Xingyan kissed the tips of Qiao Ci’s hair, cherishing it.
Doctor Jobs had already arrived and was giving the elder preliminary examinations.
Hearing from Doctor Jobs that his grandfather could be cured, Bai Xingyan felt that the world was not unkind to him.
His lover held his hand, his family was still there, who could be happier than him?
The next day, major media outlets exposed the reliable news that Qiao Ci was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, causing an uproar across the internet.
【Qiao Ci is actually the daughter of the Qiao family. Why didn’t she fight back when Gong Han bullied her before? She could have crushed Gong Han and Lin Yinyin with money!】
【A young lady from a wealthy family is so low-key. Now she and my cub are a perfect match! I approve of this marriage!】
【I heard that the cub was bullied by an illegitimate son. With Qiao Ci around, the cub has a backer now.】
【I don’t know if rich Qiao needs a lapdog. Woof woof woof, look at me.】
【Take away the Bai-Qiao couple. You upstairs, scram.】
【If Qiao Ci doesn’t mind the disgraced cub, then I’ll believe in love again!】
Lin Yinyin, upon seeing the information about Qiao Ci online, was so angry that she smashed everything in her house.
“Why? Why? Why is Qiao Ci both a film empress and from a top wealthy family, while I can only live in obscurity here!”
“My system is gone too. It’s all Qiao Ci’s fault, she’s the one who ruined it all! Ahhh, I hate her so much!”
Slap, slap!
“Shut up! Aren’t you annoying? What madness are you having again!” Gong Han returned to see Lin Yinyin smashing things and shouting. He immediately slapped her twice.
“Haha, I’m mad? Qiao Ci, she’s actually the daughter of the Qiao family. Why is her life so good?” Lin Yinyin looked at the photo of Qiao Ci on her phone with resentment.
“What?” Gong Han was shocked. He quickly snatched the phone and looked at the glamorous Qiao Ci. A wave of regret surged in his heart.
“It’s all your fault, you slut! If you hadn’t seduced me back then, I wouldn’t have lost Qiao Ci!” Gong Han’s eyes were bloodshot. He looked at Lin Yinyin as if she were his mortal enemy, grabbed her hair, and started beating and kicking her, cursing,
“If it weren’t for you, I’d be the son-in-law of the Qiao family now!”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been forced to quit the entertainment industry!”
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t constantly emit a nauseating smell that prevents me from running my company and causes it to go bankrupt! No wonder Qiao Ci kept gagging when she saw us. It turns out you, you slut, passed the smell onto me!”
Lin Yinyin, beaten until she vomited blood, had a look of madness in her eyes, “Hahaha, you’re going to be entangled with me forever. Don’t even think about reconciling with Qiao Ci. You can’t leave me. Gong Han, let’s go to hell together.”
As they fought, they began to engage in unspeakable acts.
Sounds of pain, pleasure, and retching intertwined.
Lin Xingyan arrived at Qiao Ci’s place early, as he was going to formally meet Qiao Ci’s parents.
“Why so early? My parents invited me for dinner,” Qiao Ci said, looking at the rising sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Having confirmed their relationship, Lin Xingyan’s mouth was as sweet as honey. He came up and gave Qiao Ci a big hug, “I missed you.”
“Didn’t we just see each other yesterday?” Qiao Ci hadn’t slept well and was lazily letting him hold her.
She complained to Little Spoon in her heart: Really, so clingy!
Little Spoon: Heh, aren’t you enjoying it!
“I’m so sleepy, stay with me and sleep a little longer,” Qiao Ci said, pulling the bewildered young man into the bedroom.
Bai Xingyan’s face turned red. He walked to the bedroom door, held onto the doorframe, and refused to go in, “This isn’t good… We should wait until we’re married, right?”
“What’s wrong? You said you’d let me touch you, let me hug you. Can’t you hug me and sleep for a while?” Qiao Ci yawned, looking at her cub with confusion.
She couldn’t help but frown. Her cub was misbehaving.
Seeing Qiao Ci’s displeased expression, Bai Xingyan immediately surrendered. He followed her and lay down on the bed, with his arm serving as a pillow for her small face.
He thought Qiao Ci would kiss him. Bai Xingyan stared straight at the ceiling, wrestling with whether to kiss her back. Then he heard her soft breathing. He turned his head and saw that Ah Ci had already fallen asleep.
Bai Xingyan: …
So he had been overthinking things.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, felt a little disappointed.
Qiao Ci was a heavy sleeper. She didn’t wake up until noon. Bai Xingyan wanted to get up and cook for her, but he didn’t dare to move for fear of waking her.
He took deep breaths, forcing himself to relax his body as much as possible, afraid that if his body became stiff, it would make her pillow uncomfortable.
