Chapter 747 What Did They Say To You?
People like them would always spend their time on meaningful things.
There had always been other people doing house chores for them since they were children.
As a result, Bai Yunan concluded that she was not worthy of Bai Jingshu.
Although Bai Yunan and Bai Jingshu didn't seem to get along, they still cared about each other deep down.
Bai Yunan could feel An Xia held a special place in Bai Jingshu's heart, but he never said anything to her.
That was why An Xia felt insecure for the first time as she realized there was quite some distance between them.
But, it didn't matter.
She loved Bai Jingshu.
Bai Jingshu was done with the dishes before long as there wasn't too much to begin with.
He turned and saw An Xia staring straight at him following that.
He clenched his hand into a fist, pressed it against his lips, coughed dryly a few times, and began to lower his sleeves which he had just rolled up.
However, he couldn't lower them even after a while because he was too nervous.
An Xia walked over to him and gently put away his hand to help him lower his sleeves. Then, she asked in a calm tone, "Why didn't you come back for half a year?"
Bai Jingshu didn't expect her to ask that and was slightly stunned. His face darkened slightly as he didn't know how to respond.
"Are you sure you don't want to speak up?" An Xia tidied his cuffs and lightly tapped on his arm, making him feel uneasy.
Bai Jingshu pursed his lips as he looked at her suggestive expression. He knew that she was offering him a way out.
But, he really couldn't explain at that instant.
How could he tell An Xia that he was threatened by his old man, and his old man would bring harm to her if he left Jingcheng City?
His silence had gradually let An Xia down.
Then, An Xia crossed her arms and asked, "Does it feel good to be ignored and left aside?"
She had been avoiding Bai Jingshu's calls during this period. Part of it was because she was genuinely angry while the rest was because she was driven by her stubbornness.
But, she couldn't endure it any longer in the end.
Bai Jingshu lowered his eyes and reached into his pocket. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
He hesitated for a couple of seconds when he touched his pack of cigarettes. He took it out and said, "I'm going to smoke a couple of cigarettes."
He turned and left with the cigarettes after speaking.
And so, a cold war happened between the two of them.
...
An Xia took a few days off from work when Su Ziyue got married and suddenly returned. She had called her boss to request leave.
She had initially thought that her strict boss would not agree to grant her leave. But, her boss agreed without saying too much unexpectedly.
It was already Monday in the blink of an eye, and An Xia had to go to work.
She held Qin Zixi's hand and went out after breakfast.
Bai Jingshu happened to be in a car at the entrance. He got out of the car and looked at An Xia before saying, "Get in."
An Xia silently held Qin Zixi's hand as they got into the car. She said when they passed by a bus stop, "Stop the car."
"What's wrong?" Bai Jingshu turned back and looked at her in confusion.
An Xia opened the door of the car and got out. She continued, "Take Zixi to the kindergarten. I'll take a bus to the company by myself."
She went to the bus stop after saying that.
She got on board a bus that was going to pass by the company shortly after.
Bai Jingshu's grip on the steering wheel tightened as his expression turned gloomy.
Meanwhile, Qin Zixi who was sitting in the child safety seat in the back row blinked his eyes as he noticed Uncle Bai looked terrifying.
...
In the company, An Xia canceled her leave and started working.
She wrote a resignation letter during the lunch break and handed it to her boss.
It was deja vu all over again as the boss didn't say anything and agreed to her request just like when
she asked for leave.
An Xia realized that her boss, who took over after Bai Jingshu left was actually sent by the Bai family at that point.
The Bai family had started to intervene in her relationship with Bai Jingshu.
Thankfully, they were only targeting Bai Jingshu and hadn't come to her yet. They probably thought it was unnecessary to involve her for the time being.
Although her family was considered wealthy in the small county town where her hometown was located, they were only insignificant people and did not deserve much attention in the eyes of the Bai family.
Bai Jingshu called just as she was packing up and preparing to leave.
He asked in a tone full of anger, "Where are you, An Xia? Why did you resign?"
"Because I have a new life plan now, so I don't want to work at the company anymore," An Xia replied in a cheerful tone.
"Send me the address, I'll come find you right away."
Bai Jingshu didn't even hear An Xia's response after finished speaking, and he hung up the phone domineeringly.
An Xia only wrinkled her nose as she knew he was throwing a tantrum at her.
She felt her indecisiveness had gotten worse since she had been friends with Su Ziyue for so long as she still sent the address to Bai Jingshu.
She was in a coffee shop not far from the company, and Bai Jingshu arrived before long.
Bai Jingshu threw the car keys onto the table and asked loudly as soon as he arrived, "Why did you resign?"
"I already explained it to you on the phone. I have a new life plan, so I don't want to work at the company anymore," An Xia replied as she glanced at him with an indifferent expression.
But, Bai Jingshu sneered out of anger. "A new life plan? Is it going back to your hometown and taking over your parents' department store?"
An Xia raised her chin and slapped on the table as she answered, "That's right. Not only do I want to go back to my hometown and take over my parents' department store, but I also want to find a man to marry!"
"An Xia!"
"Although my family only runs a department store and does some small business, we're not sophisticated."
Bai Jingshu immediately realized something from An Xia's words.
"What did you know?" Bai Jingshu asked.
"What did I know? Nothing at all." But, An Xia's expression suggested the exact opposite.
Bai Jingshu continued asking, "Did someone look for you?"
"Who would that be? No one looked for me."
The more An Xia tried to deny it, the more Bai Jingshu felt his old man had taken action toward her.
"What did they say to you? Are you hurt?" Bai Jingshu stared at An Xia nervously.
An Xia replied, "Your family is trying to separate us, is that right?"
Bai Jingshu realized that he had been outwitted by her at that instant.
The deadline given by his old man was approaching and that had made him extremely anxious. Even the slightest matter could make him feel on edge now.
He knew it was his old man's doing when he learned about An Xia's resignation and her words about her family being not sophisticated.
His old man had made it clear that he would take action personally if Bai Jingshu didn't break up swiftly with An Xia after all.
Bai Jingshu had nothing to hide at this point.
He nodded as he picked up a glass of water, took a sip, and said, "The reason he wanted me to return
to Yunzhou City is to break up with you."
An Xia only smiled. "So, was your family the reason why you couldn't come back to Yunzhou City earlier?"
Bai Jingshu's eyes were full of anger as he asked, "Are you happy that I couldn't come to Yunzhou City?"
"What an idiot," An Xia retorted as she rolled her eyes at him.
Bai Jingshu reached out and ruffled her hair. "You've gone too far without my restraint all these days!"
An Xia asked teasingly, "Wouldn't your family already skin me alive if I've gone too far?"
Unexpectedly, Bai Jingshu's expression suddenly darkened as he replied in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"
An Xia retorted, "Why? Surely they can't do that?"
