"I surrender. It's all my fault. Now can you tell me why you're angry?" Bai Junbai looked exhausted. He had just spent an hour with his young model girlfriend and was completely drained.
He wanted to get some rest when he got back, but his dad took it out on him and gave him a good scolding. Unbelievable.
“Mingxuan is much more promising than you. He’s already registered his marriage with Lin Xiazhu and is a married man now. Maybe he’ll even have a baby next year. He’s much better than you,” Bai Zhengping said angrily.
So you were just too happy, that's why you scolded me?
He might have been complaining in his mind, but he didn't dare say it out loud. His father was already in his seventies, almost eighty. Although he was still relatively healthy, he was getting old after all, and he didn't want to upset him to the point of having a stroke.
“Dad, now that you’ve accepted Lin Xiazhu as your granddaughter-in-law, try to be more open-minded. Mingxuan is very stubborn; once he’s made up his mind, it’s hard for anyone to change it. He’s suffered a lot in the past, so he’s more mature than most people his age and knows what he wants.”
If we want to make it up to him, we should let him live happily. Why impose so-called rules of the wealthy on him and make them shackles? His well-being and happiness are the most important things.
They all projected their own ideas onto Mingxuan, but he showed you through his actions that he would not be controlled by anyone, that rules did not apply to him, and that he would take control of his own life.
If you truly care about him, you should understand him instead of forcing him to compromise. After all, forcing him won't help. It's better to be more open-minded and not make yourself uncomfortable.
“…Of course we should set him free. Mingxuan is your brother’s only child. We weren’t there for him during his most difficult time, so what right do we have to expect him to listen to us in everything? His upbringing shaped his personality, and I shouldn’t be too strict with him.”
"It's good that you've figured it out. I'm going upstairs to rest now." Bai Junbai got up to go upstairs.
Bai Zhengping stomped his cane and said with a stern face, "I'm still not completely calm. Sit down. Which slut did you hang out with today? I told you to behave yourself and stop teaming up with Song Yuheng to flirt with other women, but you just wouldn't listen..."
Bai Junbo looked numb and collapsed onto the sofa to sleep, treating his father's voice as a lullaby, letting it go in one ear and out the other, unable to hear it at all.
"This is outrageous! I was talking to you and you were sleeping right in front of me. You're just pretending. I know you can hear me. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to blacklist all the minor celebrities and models who have slept with you. Humph." Bai Zhengping said this and then went back to his room with his cane.
Bai Junbai, who was pretending to be asleep, was so angry that he laughed.
Hearing that Bai Zhengping wanted her to come back to the Bai family home for dinner again, Lin Xiazhu was both amused and annoyed. "Just like last time, his two daughters and family members will be there. Wasn't the last incident enough?"
Lin Xiaoxue's leg was lame for more than half a month before it returned to normal. She was ridiculed by other people at school for a long time, which made her so angry that she cursed the Bai family ancestors dozens of times every day.
"Second Uncle said that Grandpa will have your two aunts apologize to you. There shouldn't be any trouble this time. Grandpa has already come to his senses," Bai Ruan said gently, looking at her. "If you don't want to go, then we won't go."
"It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that I'm a little conflicted. If Mr. Bai is sincere in accepting me, I can let bygones be bygones. I'm not that petty." Lin Xiazhu didn't want to make things difficult for Xiao An. After all, Bai Zhengping was his grandfather, and the Bai family had a prominent position. It was inevitable that they would be concerned about such an important matter as marriage.
Although she was reluctant to admit it, Lin Xiazhu knew that it was indeed difficult for her to integrate into high society circles. Xiao An married her, but she couldn't help Xiao An much in his career and was even a bit of a hindrance.
It would be best if Bai Zhengping could accept this. That way, if Xiao An really encounters difficulties in his career in the future, he won't be completely isolated and helpless. At least he'll have his family as a support.
"But I'm making this clear beforehand: if anything unexpected happens again, I won't be polite to them." This mainly refers to Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu; these two women are too troublesome, and she's afraid she might not be able to resist taking action against them.
"If they dare to make you suffer even the slightest grievance, you should curse them out or take action if necessary, without any hesitation," Bai Ruan said with a light laugh.
He didn't go home last night, he stayed here instead. The marriage registration was done in a bit of a rush. Actually, the two of them are very innocent and have never done anything inappropriate. So after dinner, they each slept in a separate room and didn't sleep together.
But thinking about it, they felt very unwilling. If it was all legal but they couldn't do anything, what was the point of getting the marriage certificate? The two tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep for most of the night.
In the middle of the night, Bai Ru'an, who was usually calm and proper, couldn't help but sneakily knock on Lin Xiazhu's door. Lin Xiazhu hadn't fallen asleep, and as soon as she heard the knock, she immediately jumped up on the bed. She ran her fingers through her long hair, and her heart suddenly raced.
Strangely, even though she didn't hear anyone's voice, she was certain that it was Bai Ru'an. Afraid that her two younger sisters would hear the knocking, Lin Xiazhu quickly opened the door and pulled the person into the room.
"Be careful, what if Xiaoxue and Taozi hear us?" She didn't have time to turn on the light, and the room was pitch black, but Bai Ruan could still see her bright eyes.
"Xiaozhu, I miss you," he said in a low, husky voice.
What were they thinking? They both knew perfectly well, and neither of them spoke again. In the darkness, they stared at each other silently. They didn't know how much time had passed, or who had started it first, but in the end, things developed the way they wanted.
Since it was their first time, both of them were young and vigorous, strong and healthy, and had already tasted the sweetness. After the hasty and rushed first time, they rested for a while, and then Bai Ruan regrouped and thoroughly tormented Lin Xiazhu.
Because the two of them had exhausted a lot of energy, they naturally woke up late the next morning. At that time, they were lying in bed, hugging each other and sleeping soundly.
After washing up, Lin Taozi was about to go back to school when she habitually came over to tell her older sister. But when she got to her sister's door, she found it closed, with a small gap. The simple-minded Lin Taozi didn't think much of it and assumed her sister was already up, so she pushed the door open and went in.
Then I saw everything. My older sister was sleeping with Xiao An, not my brother-in-law. The two of them were hiding under the covers without any clothes on.
"Ah..." Lin Taozi screamed instinctively.
When Lin Xiazhu saw her fourth sister come in, she panicked for a moment. She was always very perceptive and had noticed when Lin Taozi pushed the door open. However, she didn't have time to stop her or get up to put on her clothes before she watched her sister come in.
Seeing Lin Taozi scream in fright, she remained calm and lazily scolded, "What are you yelling about? I've never seen a married couple sleeping in the same bed. Your Xiao An and I are a legally married couple now, and everything we do is legal."
Getting a marriage certificate has its advantages. You see, you can say things that shouldn't be said by the person in charge, and you can say them with confidence and conviction.
Lin Taozi was quickly convinced. She nodded blankly, realizing that she had indeed made a fuss over nothing and had disturbed her older sister and brother-in-law's peace of mind.
"What are you standing there for? Get out of here and close the door behind you. We need to change our clothes," Lin Xiazhu said through gritted teeth.
