Chapter 489: Chapter 489
Sitting in the coffee shop, the young boy sat on the sofa, his face expressionless behind his sunglasses, staring at the coffee in front of him. He gently stirred the spoon in his coffee cup, one, two times, until the coffee was no longer thick, then stopped and signaled the waiter to replace it with a new one.
[Your Majesty, I don’t understand why you came so early.] Staring at the time on the electronic screen, 007 asked puzzledly, [The appointment is clearly set for three in the afternoon, why did you come at two?]
’Because he will definitely arrive half an hour earlier than me.’ Bi Xia said indifferently.
[Why is that.] 007 frowned, [What if Bi Qingyun arrives even earlier than you?]
’Impossible.’ Bi Xia rejected outright, saying with a cold smile, ’Bi Qingyun wouldn’t do that.’
’In Bi Qingyun’s heart, I am the child he feels he owes, plus I’m now somewhat famous online and know the Chu Family, so he’s in a rush to find me,’ thinking about Bi Qingyun’s behavior, Bi Xia curled his lips in disdain, ’You don’t really think he genuinely knows he was wrong and wants to repent, do you?’
’Foolish!’ he said coldly, ’Bi Qingyun is more selfish than anyone else, otherwise, he wouldn’t have colluded with his parents to use my mom like that back then, nor would he have deserted us mother and son just because of a word from Xu Liren.’
’In short, it was merely a coincidence that I showed up at that time. As an in-law living in, how could a proud person like Bi Qingyun not care? Especially since Xu Liren is involved with Director Liu, Bi Xue doesn’t respect him, and me, as a child longing for his father, do you think he would pass up the chance to reclaim his male dignity?’
’Moreover, he sees my mom still beautiful despite her illness, you think he wouldn’t be moved?’ Bi Xia sipped the freshly delivered coffee, casually said, ’A still beautiful wife who hasn’t divorced and still harbors feelings for him, and an elder son who remembers his father and is both famous and capable, with a younger son at an age perfect for rekindling fatherly feelings, do you think...’
’He would let it go?’
[Doesn’t seem likely...] 007 nodded in sudden realization, [So that’s why!] ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⚑fire.net
Bi Xia smiled faintly, ’Humans sometimes engage in such complex scheming or emotional manipulation that even they don’t understand, let alone someone like you who has never encountered such feelings, 007?’
[Hahaha,] 007 laughed heartily, [For my whole life, just having you as the one human I interact with is enough, other people are not important to me and Xiao Wu.]
Listening to 007’s words, Bi Xia paused slightly, unconsciously curling his lips. As he looked at the digital clock in the café showing 2:30, he lightly tapped his finger on the table, his gaze falling on Bi Qingyun getting out of a black sedan, ’He’s here.’
[No way, he really is!] 007 exclaimed in surprise.
’He wants to come off as a caring father, so he arrives early, but not too early to avoid awkwardness, typically arriving about half an hour early to seem considerate but not excessively so,’ Bi Xia explained, ’That’s why we needed to arrive first. To give him no room to perform.’
On the other side, Bi Qingyun, planning to arrive early to show his good side to Bi Xia, saw the boy opposite him taking off his sunglasses and was momentarily stunned before stiffly smiling and walking forward, "Xiaxia, why are you here so early?"
Pushing his sunglasses back up his nose, Bi Xia said calmly, "Not that early."
Bi Qingyun had intended to come early to make a good impression on Bi Xia, but now... Bi Qingyun nodded awkwardly, asked the waiter for a cup of coffee, then looked at Bi Xia, hesitating before saying, "Xiaxia, about last time..."
[Your Majesty, the target has appeared!]
The movement to drink his coffee paused for a moment, putting the coffee back on the saucer, leaning back against the sofa, his gaze sweeping towards the person who just walked in, slowly said, "Uncle Bi, if you have nothing else, I’ll be leaving."
"Xiaxia!" Bi Qingyun quickly stood up to hold Bi Xia, seeing Bi Xia frowning and brushing off his hand, Bi Qingyun experienced a moment of displeasure but thinking of his purpose, continued to explain, "I never meant to not help your mother! You should know my wife, she has such a terrible temper, stringently dominating every little thing, your mom so beautiful and gentle, I couldn’t let her be bullied..."
