Mommy Bai pulled out a chair for Curtis while throwing Bai Qingqing a glance. She whispered, âHurry up and pour some water for him.â
âHuh? Ah, oh.â Bai Qingqing quickly stood up. She didnât pay attention and accidentally stepped on the chopsticks. She slid and immediately fell backward.
Curtis instantly embraced her with an intimate and natural attitude, as if he had done so countless times.
However, Bai Qingqing wasnât so numb to act intimately with him in front of her family. She quickly backed off from his embrace, laughed awkwardly, then ran off to get water.
Mommy Bai said, âThis child is always so careless. She can even drop her chopsticks when eating noodles. Last month, she lost her bag and phone too. â
Curtis smiled faintly and said, âGirls are cuter when theyâre a little muddled.â
Mommy Bai felt happy to see her daughter being praised. She smiled even more warmly.
However, Curtis was too young. Mommy Bai still didnât feel at ease. She tried to ask, âYouâre a university student working part-time as a home tutor?â
âThatâs right,â Curtis said and took out a small booklet from his briefcase. âThis is my student identification.â
Mommy Bai received it and took a look, feeling more assured.
Bai Qingqing brought water and walked over to Curtisâs side. Her lips twitched as she looked at the student identification.
To think that Curtis had prepared this, too. There was even a photo. How did he get his hands on it?
âYou look so handsome. Even your identification photo looks good.â Mommy Bai returned the identification and praised him.
Bai Qingqing handed the water to Curtis, saying half-heartedly, âHave a drink.â
Mommy Bai threw her a sideways glance. âHow should you be addressing him? Where are your manners?â
Bai Qingqingâs expression instantly became conflicted. She stuttered for very long before squeezing out the few words with difficulty, âTeacher Ke... have a drink.â
Curtis pursed his lips and held back a smile. He took the glass from her and said softly, âIâm a student, too. You can just call me brother.â
âBrother... Ke.â Bai Qingqingâs face flushed after these words came out from her mouth. She secretly kicked Curtis a few times in her heart.
Why hadnât she discovered that Curtis was such a two-faced snake? Please bring back his cold and aloof disposition!
Curtis pretended not to notice her going crazy and looked toward Mommy Bai nonchalantly.
His attitude was naturally amicable when facing his mother-in-law. He talked more than when he was with Bai Qingqing.
âIâm also working part-time as a model and have recently shot a perfume commercial,â Curtis said.
Mommy Bai was struck by a realization. She slapped her thigh and said, âOh! Itâs you! I knew you looked a little familiar but didnât manage to recall. I donât use perfume, especially those from luxurious brands. You must be really popular. Even I saw your commercial!â
Knowing that the other party had some fame, Mommy Bai felt even more assured. However, she felt overwhelmed and also started to have doubts.
âSince your commercial is doing so well, why are you working as a home tutor at our place? Isnât this a waste of your talent?â Mommy Bai felt doubtful but couldnât think of anything.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She looked at her daughter. Qingqing looked good, but she appeared mediocre when compared to him. Someone so handsome would definitely not lack beautiful ladies by his side.
Curtis said, âI have my ambitions elsewhere. I wonât take on any more commercials.â
âSo thatâs how it is. Thatâs quite a pity. Young people these days like to be famous, so itâs rare to see someone who doesnât care much for fame.â Mommy Bai started to feel some admiration for Curtisâs character.
Breakfast ended amidst Mommy Bai and Curtisâs chat. Bai Qingqingâs parents were in a rush to go to work and they left their two children at home to the âuniversity studentâ Ke Di.
With Bai Xiaofan around, Daddy and Mommy Bai werenât worried that their daughter would be abducted.
