Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353: It’s Not Fair to You
From afar, he couldn’t hear what the man was saying, but Meng Shuqing’s eyes narrowed into crescents as she laughed, her eyebrows curving like a crescent moon. That smile… used to be An Bai’s favorite sight, but right now, it was annoyingly glaring.
He watched as they flagged down a taxi.
An Bai took a deep breath, picked up a coat from the back seat, and stepped out of the car.
“Chenchen.” An Bai draped the coat over Meng Shuqing’s shoulders.
Meng Shuqing turned back in surprise, asking in shock, “Xiao Bai, why are you here?”
Lance’s gaze fell upon An Bai. In terms of height, An Bai was not inferior to Lance, perhaps Lance was more muscular, but An Bai had that type of physique—he looked slim in clothes and muscular without.
Even though An Bai was wearing simple home wear, his demeanor was such that no one dared to underestimate him.
“Shuqing, who is this gentleman…” Lance smiled at Meng Shuqing, inquiring.
Before Meng Shuqing could speak, An Bai wrapped his arm around her shoulders, saying, “Hello, I’m An Bai, her boyfriend.”
Meng Shuqing’s eyes widened in surprise.
She wanted to explain, but An Bai was already whispering in her ear, “Chenchen, save my face in front of outsiders, okay?”
His voice echoed in her ears, his warm breath feeling strangely unfamiliar.
Meng Shuqing’s heart skipped a beat involuntarily. Facing Lance’s inquisitive gaze, she pursed her lips and smiled, ultimately choosing not to break An Bai’s lie.
Once back in the car, Meng Shuqing immediately said, “Xiao Bai, this isn’t fair to you.”
She hadn’t planned to agree with being a decoy relationship earlier at all.
“You don’t like me being your boyfriend?” An Bai leaned forward, his gaze intense, as if she was his whole world.
In the car, the dim lighting seemed to put a filter on An Bai’s handsome face, making it unbearably cool to look directly at him.
“Xiao Bai.”
Meng Shuqing’s heart was pounding. She instinctively retreated; Xiao Bai’s gaze was so passionate, as if scorching her.
“Chenchen.” An Bai’s voice in the tight space of the car seemed magical.
“I know you don’t like irrelevant people pursuing you, and my presence happens to fend off those suitors.”
“At the company, I can also quash some people’s thoughts.”
“Chenchen, help me out, would you?”
An Bai’s low voice carried a tinge of pleading.
Meng Shuqing thought this was indeed a win-win situation?
At school, although Ding Peng hadn’t dared to pursue her anymore, there were always people stuffing her with love letters. If she announced she had a boyfriend, those people wouldn’t dare send her love letters anymore.
However…
“Xiao Bai, what if you meet someone you truly like?” Meng Shuqing looked up, her clear eyes met An Bai’s, appearing considerate of An Bai.
Looking into each other’s eyes, even though An Bai felt tender affection, it couldn’t withstand her pure gaze.
Someone truly liked?
He had long met her and was trying to make her his now.
“Chenchen, what I’m doing now is exactly for the person I like.” An Bai’s words left Meng Shuqing stunned. She quickly asked, “Who do you like? Is it someone you met in F Country? Or someone from Huaxia? Where is she now? Why aren’t you together?”
An Bai: “…”
Why wasn’t this girl jealous at all, but rather gossiping with interest?
“Chenchen, I made you a seafood feast at home, want to come back and eat?”
An Bai’s words quickly redirected Meng Shuqing’s attention.
“Eh, are you really my neighbor?” Meng Shuqing looked at An Bai in shock; they’re just door-to-door neighbors.
“Yes.” An Bai grinned, saying, “We’re quite fated, aren’t we?”
Meng Shuqing eyed An Bai skeptically, saying, “Xiao Bai, didn’t the landlord refuse to sell the house? Did you know I lived here beforehand?”
Previously Chu Huaijin wanted to buy the house, but the landlord wouldn’t sell it, no matter how much money Chu Huaijin added.
“No.” An Bai said straightforwardly, “The landlord didn’t want to sell, but for the person I love, the landlord felt touched, so they sold it.”
“The person you love is in this building?” Meng Shuqing tilted her head, thinking there are many young and beautiful girls in this building, no idea which one An Bai was talking about.
An Bai just opened the door: …
“Wow!”
Opening the door, Meng Shuqing immediately saw the seafood feast in the dining room. When eating with those from the exchange group, the dishes were exquisite, but everyone ate elegantly, naturally she couldn’t eat at her fill, only three-fifths full.
Now, seeing the whole table of seafood, she suddenly felt hungry, happily saying, “Xiao Bai, your cooking skills are simply more amazing than a chef.”
“Of course.”
Looking at her delighted expression, An Bai thought of the three months he spent learning cooking. The effort paid off.
An Bai hadn’t eaten much at night either. At this moment, eating seafood feast with Meng Shuqing felt both happy and satisfied. Though the girl might be a bit dull in recognizing emotions, she didn’t reject him, either. So, establishing the status first, no one else could covet his girl.
At night, An Bai was working at the desk, Meng Shuqing curled up playing games on the sofa nearby. After all, going home would mean being alone, better to snuggle here, Xiao Bai didn’t mind her being noisy.
“Ah ah ah~!”
Meng Shuqing just lost another round, she was so angry she wanted to smash her phone.
“Who made you mad?” An Bai set down the file in his hand, glanced at her phone, said, “Let me avenge you.”
“Can you do it?” Meng Shuqing doubted An Bai, looking at him.
An Bai worked every day, where would he find time for games?
His beloved daughter questioned his ability?
An Bai directly stood up, took Meng Shuqing’s phone. A glance revealed Meng Shuqing’s issue.
On the game leaderboard, the fifth-ranked ‘Big Dipper’ was playing against her.
An Bai took her phone, and his slender fingers started operating swiftly. The smooth actions left Meng Shuqing staring, wide-eyed.
“Xiao Bai, when did you learn to play games too?”
“This isn’t your first time playing, right?”
“You’re not one of those guys in the top five of the game leaderboard, right?”
“Bai Chen?”
Meng Shuqing suddenly screamed, startling An Bai.
Seeing the game was about to lose, An Bai’s fingers nimbly operated, and soon turned defeat into victory.
“Xiao Bai Xiao Bai, are you really the top-ranking game master ‘Bai Chen’?” Meng Shuqing looked at An Bai excitedly, with admiration in her eyes.
“What do you think?”
An Bai didn’t answer but asked back.
“Right, the top-ranking master, is like a mythical dragon, only heard, never seen, let alone shown their face, not even their voice.” Meng Shuqing muttered, “Though that person is surnamed Bai, there are tons of people with the Bai surname.”
An Bai: “…”
Really want to open this girl’s head to see what’s inside?
