Chapter 762 Things That Are Needed
Bai Mingxu stumbled upon hearing Bai Yunan's words.
He couldn't believe what his eldest son, whom he had always favored the most, had just said to him.
Bai Yunan, on the other hand, didn't care about what others might think as he walked straight upstairs after throwing that out.
His siding with Bai Mingxu about Bai Yeqi and Shu Yanian's marriage was already a betrayal to Bai Jingshu.
Since childhood, Bai Mingxu had been strict with Bai Yunan.
Because he was the eldest son of the Bai family, he had to be responsible for the future of the Bai family. No matter what it was, Bai Mingxu demanded that he be the best.
Bai Yunan still remembered the first time he went on a mission and was seriously injured. When he woke up, he saw his mother, Lu Qingying, by his bedside. However, Bai Mingxu was too busy with work to come see him.
It wasn't until he had fully recovered from his injuries that Bai Mingxu appeared.
Among the three brothers, Bai Mingxu would act like a real father only when facing Bai Yeqi.
Over the years, in order to become a qualified successor, he had already owed Bai Jingshu a lot. This time, he would not stand against Bai Jingshu again no matter what.
...
An Xia only asked Bai Jingshu dazedly after she followed him out of the Bai Residence's gate, "Are you breaking ties with Mr. Bai?"
"It doesn't matter whether I stay or leave the Bai family," Bai Jingshu uttered indifferently. However, An Xia knew that he still cared.
She promptly came to a stop.
Bai Jingshu turned to look at her. "Why are you stopping here?"
"Let's go back. Go back and apologize to your father. He will forgive you," An Xia solemnly urged while holding his hand.
Bai Jingshu paused for a moment before he reached out and pinched her cheeks.
An Xia impatiently swatted his hands away. Seeing this, the man smiled and put an arm around her shoulders. "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's go."
An Xia frowned at him and huffed angrily. "Bai Jingshu!"
"I don't need his forgiveness," Bai Jingshu's expression became calm, and he took a deep breath. "Even if I go back and apologize to him, he will only think that he is right and become more determined to make us divorce."
After hearing Bai Jingshu's words, An Xia froze and didn't say anything more.
"Alright, let's go."
An Xia nodded. "Where are we going?" she asked curiously,
"We can easily get a place to stay in this big city, you know."
...
Bai Jingshu was born and raised in Jingcheng City. Although he had spent very little time in the city in recent years, it didn't mean that he had no connections there.
The two of them then drove to a high-end apartment building in the city.
At the entrance of the complex, they saw a young man in a burgundy suit smoking a cigarette as he stood under a street lamp.
As soon as he noticed Bai Jingshu and An Xia approaching, he immediately greeted them. "Jingshu, why didn't you inform us when you came back—"
Before he finished speaking, his gaze fell on An Xia. His tone then grew excited. "Is this the sister-in- law? She looks so young!"
So young?
Bai Jingshu found that upsetting to hear. The way the man said it made Bai Jingshu sound old even though he was only four years older than An Xia. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Bai Jingshu kicked him. "Lu Qinghan, are you looking to get your *ss whooped?"
Lu Qinghan chuckled and put the half-smoked cigarette back in his mouth. Before he could take a puff, Bai Jingshu kicked him again.
Bai Jingshu glared at him. "Put out the cigarette!"
Lu Qinghan hopped away on one foot and squealed, "F*ck! Jingshu, everyone was saying that your temper would improve after you got married, but I feel like it only got worse. How can the sister-in-law tolerate you?"
An Xia pondered for a moment before realizing that Lu Qinghan was referring to her as the "sister-in- law."
Seeing that Bai Jingshu was about to get angry, Lu Qinghan quickly put out the cigarette and smiled obsequiously as he reached out to An Xia, "Sister-in-law, I'm Lu Qinghan. I used to live in the same compound as Jingshu, but I was kicked out by my old man."
The corners of An Xia's mouth twitched. "Hello."
Although Lu Qinghan looked playful and somewhat unreliable, he was quite good-looking.
After all, he had lived in the same compound as Bai Jingshu. Considering how they were both children of high-ranking officials, Lu Qinghan couldn't be that bad even if he was worse in comparison.
She suddenly remembered that the neighbor next to the Bai family had "Lu" as their last name.
After exchanging a few words with Bai Jingshu, Lu Qinghan led them upstairs.
He had a nice apartment. It had everything they needed, and the rooms were clean.
"I'm living in a bar with my friends now. It's too far to come back here, so I don't stay here anymore," he informed while taking out a key from his pocket. "Jingshu, this is the key to the room. You can stay as long as you want."
Bai Jingshu looked at him disdainfully. "Got it, now scram. Don't be a nuisance here."
Lu Qinghan wasn't angry. Instead, he smirked and put his arm around Bai Jingshu's shoulder, pulling him aside. "Jingshu, do you and An Xia have any plans to have a baby? If you're not planning to, I have some things in my cabinet that you might need. I have several boxes. They will last for half a year even if you use ten in one night."
Without saying a word, Bai Jingshu grabbed the back of Lu Qinghan's collar and dragged him toward the door.
As Lu Qinghan struggled, he continued to kindly suggest, "Jingshu, I especially had someone get them for me. I heard they are very useful—"
His words were cut off when he was out the door.
An Xia pretended not to understand what they were talking about.
Bai Jingshu then turned to look at An Xia with a smile in his eyes. "Are you satisfied with this apartment? If you think it's good, we can stay here for a few days before we return to Yunzhou City."
An Xia nodded. "It's great. It has everything we need. Good location, too."
After speaking, she suddenly realized what the man just said. "Did you say we'll return to Yunzhou City in a few days?"
"Mhm. Since we've met the people we needed to see and taken care of the things we needed to do in Jingcheng City, we might as well go back to Yunzhou City earlier."
Bai Jingshu took off his coat and tossed it on the couch before he pulled An Xia into his arms. After he kissed her forehead and patted her head, he reassured her, "I won't let you suffer."
An Xia pursed her lips and smiled. "You were kicked out of the Bai family because of me. I definitely believe you won't let me suffer."
"Why did you ask me to apologize to my father earlier, then?"
"I mean, you can't really never go back to your family for the rest of your life. Although Mr. Bai is in the wrong in some ways, he is still your father, and you are still a member of the Bai family. Blood ties cannot be erased."
Bai Jingshu fell silent for a while. Holding her face, he kissed her again and again. His breath, too, grew labored.
"Forget about them for now. We are still in our honeymoon period. Let's take care of something more important first..."
"What is it?"
"What do you think?"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Xia felt the weight off her body. She was already being carried like a bride by Bai Jingshu as he headed to the bedroom.
