Chapter 292: Chapter 292
Bai Su’s face suddenly leaned close, accompanied by a familiar refreshing fragrance. Her lips felt a slight warmth, something soft pressed tightly against them.
Her body stiffened, and she couldn’t help but widen her eyes. Follow current novels on novel[f]ire.net
Her waist was embraced by someone, who supported himself on her left side with one hand.
Bai Su’s handsome face was closer than ever before, so close that his breath hovered around her, his high and straight nose touching hers with a hint of intimacy.
Rong Zhi’s mind was a complete blank.
It seemed there were voices by the door, followed by the sound of the doorknob twisting with no response, along with the hoots from Fu Xixiao and Ying Zhao Yuan.
But she heard nothing.
She just sat there blankly, only reacting a beat late after Bai Su released her.
The man’s gentleness from before vanished, his exquisite brows and eyes carried a hint of roguish charm. Against the light, a dim warm lamp cast his face in a slightly tipsy warm color.
"Back to your senses." He curled his lips, gently pinching the soft cheek of the young girl.
Rong Zhi took a deep breath, cheeks puffed up as she forgot to exhale, making Bai Su laugh out loud.
By the door, Fu Xixiao watched the scene, covering his eyes with spread fingers, muttering to himself, "I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything..."
Meanwhile, Ying Zhao Yuan was straightforward, rolling up his sleeves and looking around, "Where’s my stick? Where’s my big baseball bat?"
He wanted to beat up Bai Su, that scoundrel!!
Rong Zhi ground her teeth, pinching a piece of soft flesh on Bai Su’s waist, but after trying for a while, found his skin tough and hard to pinch, so she simply let go and said word by word, "Just you wait."
She would deal with Fu Xixiao first before settling the score with him!
The two people by the door were actually there to give them New Year’s money, which they originally meant to give earlier. However, Fu Xixiao got too excited and forgot, so they came to make up for it. After knocking on the door for a while with no response, they saw it was slightly ajar and pushed it open a crack to see if anyone was inside, unexpectedly witnessing such an explosive scene.
Rong Zhi accepted two visibly thick red envelopes.
Fu Xixiao patted her calm face, then looked at her slightly red ears, laughing mischievously, "Zhi Zhi, your ears are red!"
Rong Zhi expressionless: "...You could just not talk."
Fu Xixiao laughed even more joyfully, "It’s rare to see you shy, I’m delighted!"
Rong Zhi turned to shut the door.
Isolating the annoying little friend Fu, she placed the red envelopes under the pillow as per Fu Xixiao’s instructions.
Throughout, she automatically ignored the man beside her.
Bai Su clicked his tongue lightly, took a few steps over, and pulled Rong Zhi, who had already walked to the bathroom, back. His heart was pounding like a drum, fully intent on not letting her be mad, he skillfully turned her around and held her.
Their eyes met, he blinked, cautiously holding her while sitting on the bed.
Rong Zhi crossed her arms, leisurely crossing her legs, wearing a detached ’I’m listening to your explanation’ expression.
Bai Su immediately stood upright, closed his eyes as if facing death, and quietly begged for mercy, "Just don’t hit the face."
Rong Zhi raised an eyebrow and kicked his calf hard enough to make Bai Su’s leg buckle unexpectedly.
He hissed, holding his leg and circling around, his eyes fixed on her.
"What are you calling for? Hmm?" Rong Zhi leisurely pressed her fingers, making them crack.
Bai Su, knowing he was in the wrong, shrunk into a ball under her cold gaze, aggrievedly muttering, "I didn’t do it on purpose..."
He mumbled a couple of times, "How about I give it back to you."
As he spoke, he leaned his face over, Rong Zhi stuck a lollipop in his mouth, then playfully tugged and twisted his soft cheeks.
She rarely did such ’bullying’ childish actions.
Bai Su grimaced with pain, wanting to laugh but not daring, his face scrunched into a twisted mess.
The young lad finally looked somewhat like someone his age.
He was rather satisfied.
Letting her toy with him until content, he finally held her wrist, soothing her fingers with his breath, "Don’t use so much force, see, your fingers are all red."
Rong Zhi’s face showed no expression, except beneath her ink-black hair, the tip of her ear subtly heated up.
She impatiently freed her hand from Bai Su’s grasp, got out of bed, and tossed out "shameless" as she headed to the bathroom.
Upon coming out, she saw Bai Su fiddling with the red envelopes.
He had a stack of money in front of him, with a crisp new one-yuan note he was about to put into an envelope.
Rong Zhi lowered her gaze and asked, "Why is there an extra one yuan?"
"There’s ten thousand here," Bai Su placed the note into the envelope and sealed it, then handed it to the young girl in front of him, "My mother said, when you meet your daughter-in-law, you should give her ten thousand and one yuan."
"It signifies that she is one in a million. But since my mother is not here now, I’ll give it on her behalf."
Rong Zhi sat next to him, placed the envelope on the table, took out her phone, and after a quick operation, Bai Su heard a notification on his WeChat.
He swiped his phone, revealing that Rong Zhi had transferred him money in their top-pinned chat.
Opening it, two hundred thousand.
After a pause, he chuckled silently, "Did you give everyone this much tonight?"
"Tsk," Bai Su propped his face close to hers, his thin lips curling up, "Little rich lady, what do you think of me? Want to consider?"
Rong. Little Wealthy. Zhi raised her hand, covering his mouth tightly, "Your body isn’t enough, work out more."
By this time, Rong Zhi had already let go, leisurely getting up and placing the red envelopes by the bedside, then reached out and turned off the room light with a snap.
Leaving Bai Su alone, bewildered in the dark.
For a long while, he finally touched his abs, and feeling quite wronged, climbed into bed next to Rong Zhi, lowering his head to bite at her neck. Only after he had left several marks and felt satisfied did he release her.
The next morning, Rong Zhi searched for high-necked clothes when getting dressed.
From her collarbone to her shoulders and neck, red marks covered her skin, impossible to hide completely.
She found a high-necked sweater to put on, with a white coat hanging over her legs. While arranging the neckline, her sleeves slipped slightly, revealing creamy white wrists adorned on both hands with jewelry.
Bai Su dressed similarly, both wearing white. As the two of them went downstairs, everyone in the living room looked up.
One appeared casual and lazy, the other clear and unruly; together, they presented a perfect visual feast.
Fu Xixiao clicked his tongue twice, saying to Ying Ji, "Zhi Zhi’s child is guaranteed to be good-looking, I adore pretty little girls!"
The eight boys from the Ying Family had always worried her. When she was pregnant with Ying Cenchuan, she thought it was a girl and prepared many little dresses. But when the baby was born, surprise, a boy!
All the little dresses went unused.
Fu Xixiao refused to give up and got pregnant again with a second child, but once more, it was a boy!
Afterwards, as her sisters-in-law also became pregnant one after another, Fu Xixiao hoped fervently for someone to have a girl, but even up to the eighth child, her wish was never fulfilled.
"I absolutely must have a granddaughter..." Fu Xixiao held Rong Zhi’s hand, mumbling away.
Rong Zhi thought that she truly was thinking too far ahead.
Not even a hint in sight, and she was already thinking about children.
Fu Xixiao rambled on for a while, and only when Fu Shan An came downstairs did she wave her hand, "It’s the first day of the New Year, no work today, go out and have fun, let Ying Yunlin take you."
