Chapter 1369: Chapter 1369: Xiao Bai in a Flash
“Chenchen, is your competition being live-streamed online tomorrow?” Tang Yue, aware that she was going to compete, called Meng Shuqing early to ask about the timing.
“Yes, Mom, you’re not planning to watch, are you?”
Meng Shuqing cleared her throat and said, “I’ll be wearing a hat tomorrow, so you might not see my face. I’ll come home after the competition.”
“Alright, when you come back, I’ll make your favorite dishes.” Tang Yue smiled and hung up the phone. She immediately picked up her computer and started searching. She knew which competition it was; how could she not find it?
She stayed tuned in to the live stream, making sure she could see her daughter.
Once Tang Yue knew the exact time, she directly forwarded the link to Si Yu’s phone.
“Chenchen’s competition?”
Si Yu glanced at the time and replied, “Tomorrow we’ll watch it together.”
“Okay.”
After forwarding the message, Tang Yue also messaged Meng Shulang.
“Mom, I’m busy at the company. What’s this?” After his vacation, Meng Shulang was dealing with company matters tirelessly every day. Without paying much attention, he simply noticed it was a game competition link.
“Chenchen is competing. Remember to watch the live stream tomorrow,” Tang Yue’s message was concise. She asked, “When are you coming home?”
“How about I let Grandpa handle the business, and I come home?” As soon as Meng Shulang replied, Tang Yue directly responded, “Never mind, just come back on the day of the New Year when your uncle and the others are returning too.”
Dad’s quite old; let’s not trouble him with these things anymore.
Meng Shulang: “…”
Tang Yue informed everyone of this and then returned to work, completely oblivious to the increasing number of messages on her phone.
There were messages from Lian Qingyang, Tang Mingli, Tang Jun…
At night, Tang Yue replied one by one. Although it was just a small competition, in Tang Yue’s heart, her daughter was the best. As long as she could see her daughter, Tang Yue was proud.
“Our daughter is so kind-hearted.”
Si Yu knew the reason why Meng Shuqing was competing, and he felt proud of her for that.
“In the blink of an eye, she’s all grown up.” Tang Yue nostalgically looked through Meng Shuqing’s childhood photos. They say girls transform in eighteen years, but in Tang Yue’s eyes, her daughter had been beautiful since she was little.
No matter when, her girl was always the most beautiful.
“Yes, and her luck with boys is endless.” Si Yu’s business was booming, but he never neglected his children, especially his daughter. Any guy around her with intentions was driven away by Si Yu. Moreover, Meng Shuqing had a twin brother.
Meng Shuqing’s personality was wilder than most boys’, so the average guy didn’t dare pursue her.
“In a few years, I’ll be a grandmother.” Tang Yue thought about the new wrinkles around her eyes and had to sigh at how time is impartial.
“I don’t want to be a grandfather yet, at least not for five more years.” Si Yu couldn’t bear the thought of his daughter marrying off.
Tang Yue gave him an amused glance and said, “What if your girl decides to marry right after graduation?” She hadn’t mentioned it, but nowadays, universities allowed marriages. If Meng Shuqing decided to get together with Xiao Bai, would An Bai’s nature permit him to wait until graduation?
“Of course, who gets married while still in college?” Si Yu firmly said, but as soon as he finished, he noticed Tang Yue looking at him with a playful smile.
Si Yu instantly realized that back then, he’d wanted to marry Xiao Yue even though he hadn’t graduated, and she was only twenty when they got married. Now, with his daughter, he couldn’t let go.
“Well…”
Si Yu awkwardly looked at her and said, “As long as Chenchen is happy, I, I won’t oppose it.”
“That’s more like it.” Tang Yue pursed her lips and said, “We’ve been through it too. When people are in love, they can’t bear to be apart. If Chenchen really meets someone she wants to marry, as parents, we can’t stop her.”
“Of course, that person must pass our scrutiny. If their character is flawed or we don’t know them well enough, we need to get to know them first.”
Tang Yue added.
“Alright, whatever my Xiao Yue says is right.” Si Yu, as always, hugged Tang Yue.
“Hey, we’re an old married couple; what are you doing?”
Tang Yue felt exasperated with Si Yu’s embrace. They’d been married for over twenty years, and with their children almost getting married, Si Yu was still like before, always wanting to hug her. Every time he praised her, he’d make her blush!
“So what if we’re an old married couple, who says we can’t be affectionate?” Si Yu didn’t care about such things.

In Beiyang, at the competition venue.
Meng Shuqing, wearing a black baseball cap and dressed in black casual wear, looked low-key and unobtrusive.
Jian Xing wore a black-and-white casual outfit and, like Meng Shuqing, donned a black baseball cap.
As soon as they entered, they immediately caught everyone’s attention, because aside from the two of them, everyone else were veterans, recognized by many.
Suddenly, there were two new faces wearing hats. Except for the vague outline of their slender features and the slender hands seen on the big screen, which delighted many, those hands were quite beautiful.
“Chenchen, the one in black is Chenchen. The one beside her in black and white is her new friend, Jian Xing.”
Without blinking, Tang Yue watched the live stream, and even though they only showed up for a few seconds, she instantly recognized her daughter’s figure and those long, pretty hands of hers.
“Not bad, you can’t see Chenchen’s face.” Si Yu praised, feeling that his daughter was too beautiful and should avoid showing her face to deter attention.
“…”
Tang Yue glared at him and said, “Don’t you miss your daughter?”
“I do, but we’re not the only ones watching the live stream; there are many viewers.” Si Yu reminded her.
Tang Yue nodded, acknowledging the truth in his words. As she was about to comment on why they didn’t show Chenchen more, she caught a glimpse of someone in the audience she thought was Xiao Bai.
“Xiao Bai’s really persistent.” Si Yu had keen eyesight and naturally noticed An Bai in the fleeting glimpse. In fact, not only did they see, but Bai Qing was also watching closely.
Originally intending to see the future daughter-in-law, they unexpectedly saw Xiao Bai.
“Xiao Bai.”
Bai Qing said excitedly, “Brother Chong, there’s still hope for our daughter-in-law!”
“After all this time, he still hasn’t won her over.” An Chong looked at his son with disdain. He’s known his son’s intentions long ago, but after all these years, his son’s progress was way too slow.
