Chapter 784 She Couldn’t Mistake the Voice

Bai Jingshu, who was standing behind An Xia, guffawed mischievously upon hearing Su Ziyue's words.

At that, An Xia turned her head, kicked him, and glared at him as she whispered, "What's so funny?!" Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Bai Jingshu shrugged innocently in response. But it is funny.

Still, he still shook his head solemnly.

With that, he sat down next to Qin Zixi, only to find that the little guy had already started to look around.

Bai Jingshu picked him up and teased, "Look at how fierce and stingy your father is. Come on, man up. Don't be his son anymore. Come home with me. I'll take care of you!"

At that, Qin Zixi turned to take a gander at him, crossed his arms, and puffed up his cheeks like a little old man. "You and my daddy are in cahoots. If I leave, my mom will be wholly his! Hmph!"

Bai Jingshu twitched the corner of his lips in response and looked up at Qin Muchen, only to find the latter glancing at him expressionlessly.

A chill ran down Bai Jingshu's spine. Did I say something wrong?

An Xia and Su Ziyue chatted for a while aside before approaching the men. Very quickly, they picked up the strange atmosphere.

"What are you guys doing?" An Xia went over and carried Qin Zixi into her arms.

"Aunt Xia." Qin Zixi smiled sweetly.

"You are getting cuter by the day, Zixi."

"You should have a baby, too, then."

An Xia almost choked on her own saliva. "Do you know what having a baby means?"

"Daddy said that Mommy will give birth to a sister for me. Aunt Xia, can you also give birth to a sister for me?"

"Um…" An Xia looked up at Su Ziyue, who immediately beckoned to Qin Zixi and took him over. "How about you go draw? Mommy and Aunt Xia have something to talk about."

"Okay." Qin Zixi obediently went back to his room.

After that, Su Ziyue asked the waiter to bring tea and snacks, and they chatted for a while without mentioning An Xia's kidnapping.

They had lunch together, and after a while, An Xia and Bai Jingshu decided to head back to the Bai Residence.

Before leaving, Bai Jingshu put his arm around An Xia's shoulder and said with a rare hint of embarrassment, "Since you guys aren't rushing back, how about you stay until our wedding? We can go back to Yunzhou City together then."

Su Ziyue, being more perceptive as a woman, immediately asked, "Has the date been set?"

An Xia looked quizzically at Bai Jingshu at that. When have we decided to hold a wedding banquet, and why am I not aware of it?!

Qin Muchen, who was behind Su Ziyue, said, "Sure."

…

On their way back, An Xia asked with hesitation, "When have we decided to hold a wedding banquet? Why am I not aware of it?!"

Bai Jingshu, with a hint of a smile still on his face, took a gander at An Xia and replied, "I don't know either."

An Xia pressed her lips together in response, but before she could speak, Bai Jingshu continued, "We can't have a big wedding banquet, so we can only invite some close friends. If you prefer a lively celebration, we can have another wedding ceremony later…"

Bai Jingshu wore a smile on his face as he talked about the wedding enthusiastically, and An Xia thought he looked more like the bride-to-be while she herself was surprisingly calm.

Regardless, she was touched.

Though Bai Jingshu never brought it up, the wedding never slipped his mind.

What Bai Yeqi said the day before caused quite a stir among the Bai family members. After two generations of unfortunate weddings, Old Master Bai and Bai Mingxu probably no longer had the intention to interfere in Bai Jingshu and An Xia's affairs anymore.

Thus, Bai Jingshu put their wedding on the agenda, and in the following days, he was busy preparing for the wedding.

At the thought about how Bai Yeqi had just divorced Shi Yanian, An Xia felt it was rather inappropriate for her and Bai Jingshu to be hastily preparing for a wedding. However, Bai Jingshu was indifferent to it. "He's over thirty, not three. He wouldn't care about such trivial issues when he has lost his wife."

At that, An Xia poked his shoulder. "That's nonsense!"

Bai Jingshu held her hand, pulled her into his arms, and leaned close to her face, whispering, "I've been working hard these past few days. Don't you think I deserve a reward?"

An Xia tiptoed and kissed his face. "Alright, back to work."

Still unsatisfied, Bai Jingshu cupped her face and kissed her deeply. After the kiss, he leaned in and whispered softly in her ear, "This is just the appetizer. I'll save the rest for when I come back tonight."

An Xia understood him at once, but before she could react, Bai Jingshu had already run off.

She received a new text from Su Ziyue. It was Su Yige's phone number, which she had asked for.

She was too preoccupied to thank Su Yige that day, but later she realized she couldn't get in touch with her at all, so she sought help from Su Ziyue.

The relationship between the two cousins was somewhat strange. They used to have conflicts, but now they seemed to get along well, and Su Ziyue appeared to have been in contact with Su Yige all along.

Su Yige had helped her after all, so she should thank her in person no matter what.

She rendezvoused with Su Yige at a cafe for afternoon tea.

When she arrived, Su Yige was already waiting there.

The young woman was dressed in a simple white down jacket and jeans. Her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back. Her face looked plain, completely devoid of the arrogance and fussiness she had as the eldest young lady of the Su family.

When she saw An Xia approaching, she waved at her and greeted, "An Xia."

"Just arrived?" An Xia sat down, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to the new Su Yige.

"Yeah." The latter smiled and handed her the menu. "I just ordered a cup of green tea. Take a look and see what you'd like."

This down-to-earth Su Yige was a bit strange to An Xia, but she quickly adapted to it.

The two chatted about casual topics, making small talk.

Mid-conversation, An Xia got up to go to the restroom, and Su Yige took out her phone to pass the time.

She opened the photo album and looked at pictures of her son.

Having been abroad for nearly two years, she still wished to return. However, she didn't want to return to Yunzhou City. So she decided to settle down in Jingcheng City instead. Her son was still too young, so she entrusted someone to take care of him while she came back first. Little did she know that she was scammed by a fake agent she found online, only to end up saving An Xia inadvertently.

It seemed fated. She hadn't wanted to trouble Su Ziyue initially, but somehow, the latter found out about it anyway.

She really missed her little bundle of joy.

Suddenly, a shadow was cast before her.

Thinking An Xia had returned, she looked up before tucking her smile away.

Lo and behold, it was a pale-faced man.

The man had a slender figure and a deathly pale complexion. Despite that, he was actually quite handsome, albeit a bit thin, giving off a somewhat delicate and effeminate vibe.

Su Yige felt strange as he sized her up but still politely asked, "Is there something I can do for you, sir?"

Just then, An Xia returned, and when she saw Bai Yeqi, she exclaimed in surprise, "Yeqi?"

Bai Yeqi turned around, and his eyes flashed subtly when he saw An Xia. He nodded at her and asked,

"Is this your friend?"

An Xia hesitated for a moment but nodded in affirmation.

"Mind if I join you here?" he asked and sat down without waiting for a response.

An Xia parted her lips, feeling that Bai Yeqi was acting a bit strange.

Su Yige didn't expect the stranger to know An Xia. Still, she thought there was something oddly familiar about his voice.

An Xia and Su Yige weren't very familiar with each other, to begin with, and they had few topics to discuss. They were already planning to leave when Bai Yeqi suddenly appeared, making them even more uncomfortable.

Su Yige took the initiative and said, "It's getting late. I think I'll head back first."

Bai Yeqi stood up, lowered his head to look at Su Yige, and politely asked, "Where do you live, Miss Su? I'll give you a lift."

Is Bai Yeqi interested in Su Yige? An Xia wondered.

Su Yige also found the situation somewhat perplexing. "No need. I can easily take a taxi home."

"Let me drive you."

Suddenly, a familiar voice flashed through Su Yige's mind.

Let me help you… It's enchanting here…

The familiar yet distant voice became clear in her mind, and her face turned pale all of a sudden.

It was him! The man she spent a night with at Lumiere Jade House. He was the father of her child!

Although she wasn't fully conscious at the time, the voice had left an impact on her, and she couldn't be mistaken about it.

She looked up sharply at Bai Yeqi and found him gazing back at her with a deep intensity.
