Chapter 354 - 123 To win someone’s heart is to have no regrets_2
The black sedan sped away, leaving a cloud of dust in its wake.
Fu Bai frowned, what did that mean?
He faithfully relayed the message to Pei Qinghan, who had been resting with his eyes closed. The man’s eyes suddenly snapped open, a sharp glint in his gaze flashing momentarily before disappearing.
He furrowed his brows as if carefully recalling something, his pinky finger slowly rubbing against the pad of his thumb—a small gesture he often made when deep in thought.
Fu Bai held his breath, knowing that now was the best time to remain silent.
Suddenly, Pei Qinghan stood up, "Where is she?"
Fu Bai was somewhat surprised, as he detected a hint of urgency in the eyes of that usually composed man.
"She has already left."
Without another word, Pei Qinghan grabbed his coat and strode out, "Contact Xiao Bei, tell him to stop the car."
Fu Bai wondered what that earlier message meant to make the Boss this anxious.
This Bai Xiangxiang was really something.
Sitting in the car, Bai Xiangxiang appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was filled with unease.
What if it failed?
The hands resting on her lap clenched involuntarily.
She could only hope that the car would go slower, even slower if possible.
Upon reaching Jinhua Road, a right turn after driving another five hundred meters, and passing three traffic lights, they would arrive at Bai Family Villa’s neighborhood.
Her anxiety grew with each passing moment.
While waiting at a red light, the driver answered a phone call. She immediately perked up her ears but heard nothing except the driver uttering two affirmatives before hanging up.
As the red light turned green, the car turned right but did not join the flow of traffic; instead, it slowly came to a stop at the side of the road.
Bai Xiangxiang’s heart skipped a beat, and she asked feigning nonchalance, "What happened?"
The driver, a young man, turned around with a smile, "Miss Bai, Master Pei is coming to see you, which is why I stopped here."
Bai Xiangxiang clenched her fists in secret, the joy in her eyes flickering briefly.
It wasn’t long before a black sedan slowly pulled up behind them.
A tall figure emerged from the car and walked over, opening the rear door.
He didn’t get in but simply stood at the door, those dark eyes looking over dispassionately, their sharpness seemingly piercing into one’s soul.
Bai Xiangxiang’s heart thrummed erratically under that intimidating gaze as she slowly bowed her head.
"Who are you, really?"
——
Yun Ya tried on the evening gown that Luo Lin had brought over, a white tulle long dress with a crystal-studded belt at the waist. Apart from that, there were no other embellishments, giving off an ethereal and soft beauty.
However, the gown revealed a bit of her chest. Yun Ya looked at her rather "flat" chest and sighed gently.
Luo Lin admired, "Miss, you look absolutely stunning in it, like a fairy."
Seeing Yun Ya’s dilemma, Luo Lin suggested with a smile, "Miss could use some padding, it would look even better."
Yun Ya pursed her lips, what’s fake will always be fake.
"Don’t worry, Miss, you’re still young, you still have room for development. Regularly eating papaya and applying certain massage techniques can enhance your chest size," Luo Lin continued.
Yun Ya subconsciously glanced at her chest, concealed within a black suit, was a black strappy top. The fullness beneath was tumultuous, stirring up enticing springtime fantasies.
Alright, she could only console herself, still young, still room to grow.
But she was just as small when she was eighteen.
Yun Ya wondered if Brother Yan would mind her small chest in the future.
Ah, what was she thinking! Her face flushed a deep red, and she turned and ran back into her room.
Luo Lin watched her from behind, her lips curling into a smile.
Just as she returned to her room, her phone began to ring.
Yun Ya picked it up and stuck out her tongue unconsciously.
She had just been thinking about him, and now here he was calling.
"Hello... Brother Yan."
"What are you doing?" The young man’s deep voice came through the phone, pressing heavily on Yun Ya’s heart.
"Trying on a dress. Going over to the window, the four o’clock afternoon sun bathed her in a heady warmth, making her squint in pleasure."
"For what?" The young man asked, puzzled.
"Attending Aunt Bai’s banquet tonight. What about you, Brother Yan, will you be there?"
She heard his breathing deepen on the other end of the line—
"A banquet?"
"Yeah, Aunt Bai is hosting it at the Bai Family, don’t you know, Brother Yan?" Bai Ran had made quite a big deal out of it, almost everyone in Jiangzhou must have heard.
"Damn it," the young man growled fiercely.
Yun Ya frowned slightly, standing up straight instinctively.
"Brother Yan, what’s wrong?"
"I’m attending a competition in a neighboring city and won’t be able to make it back tonight," the young man said with a touch of frustration in his voice.
"Why didn’t anyone tell me? If I’d known, I wouldn’t have gone anywhere."
