Chapter 748 Returning To The Bai Residence Together
The two of them engaged in playful banter as they exchanged words back and forth.
Bai Jingshu didn't answer An Xia's question earlier, and she didn't press for a response.
That night, An Xia was tossed around by Bai Jingshu on the bed until late into the night.
Bai Jingshu cleaned up with An Xia afterward, and he wrapped her in a towel before carrying her back to the bedroom.
An Xia crawled into bed, squinting her eyes as she watched Bai Jingshu bring her pajamas over.
Bai Jingshu couldn't help but soften up when he noticed An Xia looking all tired and weak. But, that didn't stop him from being cheeky.
"Do you still have the strength to put it on?"
An Xia only glared at him before snatching her pajamas from him.
Then, Bai Jingshu turned off the lights and got into bed, pulling her into his embrace.
The room was pitch black. Only the sound of their breathing could be heard.
An Xia was tired, but she couldn't fall asleep.
She heard Bai Jingshu call out, "Xia."
"Hmm?" An Xia responded softly. She shifted her body slightly before saying impatiently, "Don't hold me so tightly. I'm feeling stuffy."
Bai Jingshu chuckled and gave her a massage. Although he had never done this before, he knew he had to be gentle.
His touch was just right, and An Xia felt relaxed and comfortable as she let out a few hums.
For some reason, Bai Jingshu found it easier to speak up about what he couldn't do during the day in the darkness.
He shared with her the events that had taken place during the past six months when he was in Jingcheng City.
An Xia only quietly listened.
She knew that Bai Jingshu was restrained by his family.
An Xia asked after Bai Jingshu had finished speaking, "What about this time? Are they only allowing you here because of Mr. Qin's wedding?"
He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Right."
"What do you mean by that? Is it true or not?" An Xia turned over and lay flat on her back following that.
Bai Jingshu said after a while, "Attending Muchen's wedding is only one of the reasons. They also want me to..."
"To break up with me." An Xia finished the second half of his sentence for him.
It was just as she had suspected.
The Bai family wouldn't allow Bai Jingshu to be with someone like her, who didn't have any prominent family background or connections. Initially, they didn't pay much attention to their relationship. But they realized that Bai Jingshu might be serious about their relationship later on, so they started interfering.
They used her as leverage to threaten Bai Jingshu, preventing him from going to Jingcheng City.
Although Bai Jingshu appeared indifferent as he explained, An Xia could sense that he must have been closely monitored. Otherwise, why wouldn't he even give her a call?
However, things would be treated differently if it was about his good friend, Qin Muchen. The Bai family wouldn't dare to stop Bai Jingshu from attending Qin Muchen's wedding.
That was why they allowed Bai Jingshu to go to Yunzhou City, not only to attend Qin Muchen's wedding but also to break up with An Xia.
Bai Jingshu replied in a deep tone, "Stop saying that. You know it's impossible."
An Xia chuckled. "That's right. I can't waste such a wonderful opportunity even if we were to break up. Your family holds great power and influence, so they should at least offer me some compensation..."
Bai Jingshu sternly warned when she became audacious, "You won't be getting out of bed tomorrow if you keep talking nonsense!"
An Xia only let out a disdainful snort.
She knew that Bai Jingshu was just trying to scare her deep down.
"They must be asking you to return to Jingcheng City now, right? What's your plan next?"
An Xia asked casually, and Bai Jingshu furrowed his brows as he replied, "What do you mean by what I plan to do? It's our plan!"
An Xia didn't argue with him over the choice of words, and she asked, "Alright. What's our plan?"
Bai Jingshu answered after a slight pause, "We'll go back to Jingcheng City together."
"What does that mean?"
"It means we'll go back to meet my parents."
...
Bai Jingshu seemed to have cleared all his doubts overnight, and he started making preparations to return to Jingcheng City with An Xia the next day.
An Xia realized his decision would undoubtedly place him in direct opposition to his family, yet he still appeared resolute. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
She knew that she hadn't chosen the wrong man at that instant.
The two of them decided to return to the Bai Residence. But what about Qin Zixi?
An Xia received a call from Su Ziyue before they could figure out how to make an arrangement for Qin Zixi.
"Qin Muchen and I are coming back. We're about to board the plane."
An Xia was caught off guard. "Aren't you on your honeymoon? Why are you coming back so soon? You haven't even been gone for a few days."
Su Ziyue replied cheerfully, "I'm pregnant."
An Xia put the call on speaker, and Bai Jingshu, who was beside her, heard the news. He exclaimed, "Look! It's karma!"
He quickly adjusted his tone when he noticed An Xia and Qin Zixi looking at him, and he said, "I'll go prepare some fruits for you. You guys can continue."
He left as he hummed a tune after that.
He knew Qin Muchen the best. How bold of him to leave Qin Zixi with them while he went on his honeymoon. Look at what happened now.
It was truly a sight to behold.
Su Ziyue and Qin Muchen returned to Yunzhou City the next day.
The couple hosted a feast at Lumiere Jade House when they returned.
An Xia and Bai Jingshu, along with Qin Zixi, attended the feast together.
Qin Zixi rushed toward Su Ziyue as soon as they entered the private room. "Mommy!"
However, Qin Muchen intercepted him before he could reach Su Ziyue.
Qin Muchen lifted Qin Zixi with a stern expression, and he made him sit in a chair. "Sit properly! Don't move around!"
Su Ziyue pinched Qin Muchen's waist and yelled, "Get out of the way! Who said you could scold my son?"
Even Bai Jingshu, who was watching from the side could feel the pain. But, Qin Muchen maintained his composure and replied, "I'm just worried that he might bump into you."
