Chapter 757

Chapter 757 Are You An Xia?

An Xia took the half-smoked cigarette from Bai Jingshu's hand and put it out. Then, she opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to him.

After drinking the mineral water, he gradually calmed down, yet she couldn't help but notice that his eyes appeared slightly red.

"Jingshu..." She reached out to touch him.

However, Bai Jingshu suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "I'll take you somewhere."

An Xia didn't inquire further and smiled slightly. "Okay."

In response to her compliance, Bai Jingshu also smiled and rewarded her with a kiss on her hand.

An Xia's unconditional trust and obedience deeply touched him. It felt as though she would follow him willingly, no matter where he took her or what he did.

The feeling of being cared for and trusted wholeheartedly by someone was truly wonderful.

...

Bai Jingshu mentioned taking her somewhere, and An Xia didn't think much of it. She assumed it would be a nearby place with sentimental value to him.

However, as he drove, they ended up at what seemed to be a noodle shop in a neighboring city.

From the outside, it looked nothing like a typical noodle shop.

The entrance was adorned with various colorful flowers and plants, enclosed by a fence, and a wooden fence surrounded the area. The ground was covered with a lawn, and a stone path in the middle allowed people to walk through.

Before entering, An Xia thought it was a flower shop.

As they stepped inside, she was greeted by the delightful aroma of seasonings and noodles. It was only then that she looked up and saw diners sitting in groups, confirming that it was indeed a noodle restaurant.

After finding a place to sit, An Xia curiously asked Bai Jingshu, "Did we come all this way just for noodles?"

He responded, "I'm taking you to meet someone." Then, he signaled the waiter and ordered two bowls of noodles.

After taking the order, the waiter didn't leave immediately and asked, "Mr. Bai, are you here to see the owner?"

Bai Jingshu's expression turned unusually serious as he replied, "Yeah, but there's no rush to call her. We'll be staying here for the night."

The waiter nodded and left with a smile. Before leaving, she gave An Xia a curious and friendly smile.

An Xia blinked and felt a bit embarrassed for some unknown reason.

Looking at Bai Jingshu, she had a hunch about whom he wanted to introduce her to by bringing her to this place.

With a playful smile, Bai Jingshu looked up and teased, "Aren't you curious about whom I'm bringing you to meet?"

An Xia pursed her lips, trying to control the slight curve forming on them. She turned her head to the side and awkwardly replied, "How would I know?"

The smile on Bai Jingshu's face grew even more pronounced.

Soon, two steaming bowls of noodles were served.

On such a cold day, being able to eat a bowl of hot and steaming noodles was a blissful thing.

While An Xia was enjoying her meal, she felt someone approaching their table.

Looking up, she saw a tall middle-aged woman walking toward them.

The woman wore a camel-colored cashmere coat with her hair elegantly pinned up. She exuded an air of grace and composure.

From her delicate features, it was evident that she must have been a beauty in her youth.

As An Xia was observing her, she had already walked up to them.

Feeling An Xia's gaze, Bai Jingshu also turned his head to look behind him.

When he saw the woman, his expression softened, and he called out, "Mom."

An Xia nearly dropped her fork in surprise.

Is she Bai Jingshu's mother?

Bai Jingshu was already thirty years old, but his mother looked no older than her early forties!

In disbelief, An Xia exclaimed, "Mom?"

Bai Jingshu glanced at her with a meaningful expression, seemingly amused by her reaction.

Lu Qingying appeared slightly surprised, but then she smiled as she took a seat next to Bai Jingshu. Calmly, she looked at An Xia and asked, "Are you An Xia?"

An Xia stammered for a moment, placing her silverware on the table and sitting up straight. "I-I am An Xia. Nice to meet you, madam!"

Her dry tone revealed her nervousness.

It clearly indicated how tense she was feeling right now.

When Bai Jingshu mentioned bringing her to meet someone, she guessed it might be his mother.

However, she never expected his mother to look so young.

"You don't have to be so nervous." As Luo Qingying noticed An Xia's face turning red from nervousness, her expression softened.

After that, she turned to Bai Jingshu with a hint of reproach in her tone. "You're all grown up now. When you bring your girlfriend over, you should have informed me in advance. She comes all the way here, and you can't just let her eat noodles."

An Xia quickly interjected, "Madam, it's delicious. Look, I've finished it all."

She even nudged the empty bowl of soup to emphasize that she was telling the truth.

Luo Qingying laughed, finding An Xia's lively and good-natured personality charming. She wondered how her unconventional son ended up with such a wonderful girl.

"Glad that you like it."

An Xia pursed her lips and smiled modestly.

Bai Jingshu couldn't help but chuckle as he covered his mouth to hold back his laughter.

"I think you've almost finished eating. Why don't we head back to the house and rest, or perhaps have some tea?" Luo Qingying suggested, shifting her gaze to An Xia. It was obvious that she was seeking her opinion.

An Xia was momentarily taken aback and looked at Bai Jingshu.

He looked back at her with a smile, as if saying, 'I'm not the one being asked, it's you.'

An Xia quickly replied to Luo Qingying, "Sure, anything works for me."

...

An Xia went to Luo Qingying's house with Bai Jingshu.

The residence was a cozy little villa, not particularly extravagant, but it was clear that the decorations in the house and the plants in the yard were all well taken care of.

Unlike the Bai Residence, this place felt more alive and homely.

Luo Qingying led them to the tea room.

There were numerous plants and potted greens with intriguing names that filled the space.

Seated at the tea table, Luo Qingying started boiling water as she said, "Uncle Cheng went to the west side of the city for some business and won't be back until evening. If he knew you were here, he would be delighted."

As soon as An Xia entered, she curiously looked around and touched various objects out of interest. When she heard the reference to "Uncle Cheng," she turned her head to Luo Qingying with a puzzled expression.

Noticing her confusion, Luo Qingying warmly smiled and explained, "He is my husband, Cheng Jinghua. He's an excellent cook and can handle any cuisine."

Her genuine gaze held a sense of pride as she spoke.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the unfamiliar situation, An Xia wasn't sure how to respond.

She had never been in this kind of setting before.

Lu Qingying noticed her embarrassment and continued, "I also have a daughter, a few years younger than you. She is currently studying at a university in Jingcheng City."

With these few words, Luo Qingying conveyed her current situation and effortlessly changed the topic. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

An Xia stopped exploring the room and settled down next to Bai Jingshu.

The tea room was tastefully decorated, featuring a tea table set in front of a large ceiling-to-floor window. The floor was adorned with a soft carpet, and outside the window, a small pond with an artificial rockery and flowing water added to the serene ambiance.

It was quite evident that the rockery was carefully handcrafted.

In short, every detail in the house reflected the owner's thoughtfulness and care.

Regardless of the journey that brought her here, An Xia could tell that Bai Jingshu's mother was leading a happy life.

Her calm and peaceful demeanor was a testament to her happiness.
