Chapter 746 I Didn’t Treat Him Unfairly

Qin Zixi hung up right away before the call could connect.

He said as he blinked, "I have a cellphone."

Then, he placed his backpack down and took out his cell phone from inside.

Bai Jingshu nodded as he thought that made sense. But, what if An Xia didn't want to answer his call?

Bai Jingshu couldn't help but lean over to take a look as he watched Qin Zixi fiddle with his cell phone. Qin Zixi quickly put away his cell phone and said, "Don't look. I'm entering the password."

A password was required to use his cellphone. Who could have thought?

Bai Jingshu found it amusing to see him being so serious.

"Alright, go ahead and enter the password."

Qin Zixi held the cell phone in his hands and waited for a moment after entering the password and pressing something else.

Bai Jingshu leaned over to take a look, and he saw that the call had been made and there was a profile picture.

"Do you know Aunt Xia's phone number?" Bai Jingshu hadn't seen Qin Zixi in almost half a year, so his understanding of him didn't improve since last year.

Qin Zixi glanced at him and answered, "I do. Mom saved everyone's numbers for me."

"Do you recognize all of them by their names?"

"I have their pictures." Then, he pointed to An Xia's picture on the screen and showed it to Bai Jingshu.

Mothers are really thoughtful of their kids.

Just then, the call connected. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The voice he had been longing to hear came from the other end of the phone call. "Hello, Zixi?"

Her voice was gentle.

"Aunt Xia." Qin Zixi asked in a soft tone, "When will you come home to Uncle Bai?"

Bai Jingshu instantly took a deep breath, feeling a surge of frustration that he couldn't express.

An Xia and Qin Zixi had clearly spoken on the phone before.

An Xia either didn't pick up or ended the call after just a few words every time Bai Jingshu called her.

"I'm already on the way back. I'm in a car, and I'll be back this evening."

Qin Zixi happily replied, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you!"

Bai Jingshu turned to Qin Zixi as he wondered when he had become so eloquent.

What had happened during the six months he was away?

Unable to resist the urge, Bai Jingshu tugged at Qin Zixi's sleeve, signaling him to give him the phone for a moment.

However, Qin Zixi waved his hand innocently and said, "I already ended the phone call."

Bai Jingshu suddenly understood why Qin Muchen sometimes didn't get along with Qin Zixi at that instant.

Children could be little angels, but sometimes, they could also become obstacles to one's love.

...

In the afternoon, Qin Zixi rushed over to An Xia with teary eyes as soon as she returned to Bai Jingshu's house. "I'm starving, Aunt Xia."

He sniffled as if he was about to cry after speaking, but he held back.

An Xia felt heartbroken when she saw him in such a state.

She picked up Qin Zixi and gently asked, "What did Uncle Bai give you for lunch?"

She walked straight inside with Qin Zixi in her arms, completely ignoring Bai Jingshu, who had come to meet her.

Bai Jingshu noticed the suitcase she had left at the door, and he brought it inside for her.

He happened to overhear An Xia's words, and he quickly answered, "I ordered takeout from Lumiere Jade House for his lunch. I didn't treat him unfairly!"

An Xia only glanced at him without saying anything.

She sat on the couch with Qin Zixi following that. They were cuddling affectionately as they chatted for a while. Then, they took selfies with their phones before sending them to Su Ziyue. They continued chatting on their phones after that, leaving Bai Jingshu aside by himself.

Qin Zixi got tired and fell asleep shortly after. Bai Jingshu said just as An Xia was about to carry him upstairs to bed, "Let me handle it."

He took Qin Zixi from An Xia's arms.

Qin Zixi was surprisingly heavy despite his slim appearance.

An Xia didn't say much.

She only watched as Bai Jingshu carried Qin Zixi upstairs and disappeared from her sight as he made it through the corner of the stairs before she withdrew her gaze.

Is he being afraid now? Why is he so eager to help?

Nevertheless, Bai Jingshu was genuinely kind and patient with Qin Zixi.

Qin Muchen and Su Ziyue left Qin Zixi in Bai Jingshu's care when they went to Country J last year. Bai Jingshu was even looking forward to cooking for Qin Zixi at that time.

Qin Zixi happily ate a lot, but he ended up in the hospital with diarrhea that night.

Bai Jingshu tried cooking for Qin Zixi a few more times after that, but he refused to eat.

Surely Bai Jingshu would like Qin Zixi even more if he were his own child?

An Xia stood in the living room for a while before carrying her suitcase into the room she used to stay in.

Bai Jingshu came out, and he saw that there was no one in the living room and the suitcase was gone. So, he hurriedly chased after her as he slapped on his forehead.

He felt like he was becoming more and more foolish at that instant.

He opened the door to An Xia's room after turning around and running upstairs, and he saw her sitting cross-legged on the floor, organizing her clothes.

She initially planned to stay in her hometown for a while longer, so she brought a lot of luggage.

However, her parents liked to inquire about her love life as they were getting older.

She couldn't tell them about her current situation with Bai Jingshu, that she had a boyfriend at this stage.

Coincidentally, Su Ziyue called and informed her that she and Qin Muchen were going on their honeymoon, and Qin Zixi would be starting kindergarten. Hence, they asked her and Bai Jingshu to take care of Qin Zixi.

Besides, An Xia happened to be planning to return to Yunzhou City, so she decided to come back.

However, she knew that Mr. Qin was only using Qin Zixi and had to go to kindergarten as an excuse so that he wouldn't disturb his alone time with Su Ziyue together.

Mr. Qin might appear serious and cold, but he was incredibly skilled at manipulating people.

Bai Jingshu broke the silence in the room when he asked, "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"

He didn't know what to say, so he randomly found something to talk about.

Unexpectedly, An Xia nodded before saying, "Anything is fine."

Bai Jingshu instantly felt joy, and he ran downstairs to cook veggie noodles for An Xia.

He also brought out the beef that hadn't been touched since he ordered too much in the afternoon, and he placed it on the dining table.

An Xia came downstairs with a small package shortly after.

The package was filled with pickled vegetables made by her mother, and she loved it so much that she would bring some back every time she returned to her hometown.

"Come on, eat up," Bai Jingshu said when he saw her come downstairs.

An Xia put the package into the refrigerator before sitting at the dining table.

She didn't mind the plain-looking veggie noodles, and she started eating them with the beef.

She had been on the road for about three to four hours from her home, and she hadn't eaten anything since noon. It was natural that she was starting to feel hungry now.

The atmosphere around the dining table was quiet. There was only the occasional sound of An Xia eating.

Bai Jingshu stood up before her and said when she finished her meal and was about to get up to collect the dishes, "Let me do it. I insist."

An Xia didn't argue with him and let him take the dishes to the kitchen.

She smiled as she watched Bai Jingshu bend over and skillfully washed the dishes in the kitchen.

She still remembered the shocked appearance on Bai Yunan's face the first time he saw Bai Jingshu washing dishes.

But, Bai Yunan didn't say anything. He only looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
