Winston glanced at Daddy Bai, before turning his gaze towards Bai Qingqing. He took away the chicken thigh in her hand and gently wiped her hand with a tissue.
Bai Qingqing took the tissue from him and wiped her hand herself, saying, âAlright, Iâll talk with my father first. You should go back.â
âMm,â Winston responded and moved out of Daddy Baiâs way.
Only then did Daddy Bai drag Bai Qingqing into the car.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
There was a passenger in the cab. Seeing this, he asked, âAre you still driving me?â
âSorry, we have some personal matters to resolve. Iâll have to trouble you to take another cab,â Daddy Bai said with a cold face.
Not a wishy-washy one, the passenger readily opened the door and got out.
Daddy Bai abruptly started the car and stepped on the accelerator to drive out.
Winston ran towards his own car and said as he pointed at Daddy Baiâs car, âFollow that car.â
...
Daddy Bai usually drove very steadily, but today he was driving urgently and shakily. In great trepidation, Bai Qingqing asked meekly, âDaddy Bai, why donât we speak outside?â
âTalk outside and be a disgrace? Let everyone know youâre dating a triad boss?â Daddy Bai said sarcastically.
Bai Qingqing also got angry and retorted, âYouâre judging him based on his appearance. If I was dating Ke Di, you definitely wouldnât be saying this.â
âYouâre even resorting to sophistry? Donât tell me youâre in the right when you got into a relationship at such a young age.â Daddy Bai was red in the face with anger, but he did drive more steadily than earlier.
Bai Qingqing lowered her head. Eh, just knowing she was with Winston was enough to anger her father this badly. If she were to reveal that she had four men, her father would probably develop a heart condition from the anger.
Daddy Bai suddenly said, âHave you any idea what you two look like together? You look like his kept mistress! Tell me honestly, are you doing this for money?â
Bai Qingqing looked up in disbelief and asked in shock, âHow could you think of me that way?â
Daddy Bai didnât answer.
Bai Qingqing was so furious that she nearly burst into tears. In a choked and sobbing voice, she said, âYouâve raised me since I was a baby. Donât you know my character? Even if Iâm so poor that I have to pick up garbage, Iâd never sell my body and my character.â
Daddy Bai pursed his lips. He glanced at the black car closely tailing them and asked calmly, âThen tell me, whatâs the relationship between you and him?â
Bai Qingqing blinked back the tears and finally firmed up her attitude. âI said it earlier, heâs my boyfriend. Weâre seriously dating each other. Itâs not just for fun.â
âIt may not be for you, but how do you know itâs that way for him too?â Daddy Bai said.
Bai Qingqing took in a breath, turned her head, and looked at Winstonâs car for a while, before saying, âI know you wonât believe him. How do you want him to prove it?â
Sharp braking suddenly sounded on the road, and the cab abruptly came to a halt. The black car following closely behind also instantly stepped on the brakes, very nearly colliding into their cab.
Daddy Bai said, âAsk him to get into the car.â
Bai Qingqing quickly went to the back of the car and motioned for Winston to come over.
He instantly went over. After hesitating outside the cab for a moment, he chose to sit in the front passenger seat.
âYouâre looking for me,â Winston said in his deep voice. Even though he wanted to appear more friendly, he still looked every bit like a triad boss.
Daddy Bai turned his head away and drove home.
âWhich stage are the two of you at?â Though Daddy Bai asked subtly, everyone knew what he meant.
Winston gazed gently at Bai Qingqing, before replying, âWeâve done everything that couples would do.â
Though not surprised, Daddy Bai still felt a lump in his throat. However, unbeknownst to him, what Winston actually wanted to express was that they had already bred and raised a child together.
Bai Qingqing held a hand to her forehead. Why did he have to ask such an awkward question? How she wished today was just a nightmare, that she would later wake up to find that none of this had happened.
