Chapter 42. Bai Xiao: My wife dares to say I'm no good?!
Song Huai didn't know why, even though he could control his emotions well in front of others, he couldn't stop crying in front of Bai Xiao, making Bai Xiao laugh at him a lot.
He wiped away his tears, pretending nothing had happened, and said, "I didn't cry, you must be mistaken."
"You, you're so stubborn." Bai Xiao noticed Song Huai's hands furtively placed on the blanket and thought that this must be the reason why Song Huai was crying.
He took advantage of Song Huai's inattention and yanked the blanket off.
"How to Confess Your Love" by a Harvard Professor Just like that, it came into his view without any warning.
Upon suddenly seeing the book, Bai Xiao froze.
Bai Xiao wondered if there was something wrong with his eyes. He had always kept this book hidden in his study, so how come it was in Song Huai's hands now?
The next second, Bai Xiao remembered and regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself on the spot. Last time he was reading this book, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep first. Who would have thought that he would go on a business trip the next day and forget the book on his bedside table!
Bai Xiao still harbored a sliver of hope: "You...read the whole book?"
Before Song Huai could answer, Bai Xiao continued to try and cover up his mistake: "It's not what you think. This book was a gift from a friend. I just took a look at it casually."
Song Huai slowly asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Xiao didn't know how to answer, and mumbled, "Just...just...like that."
"Pfft!" Song Huai, with tears still clinging to the corners of his eyes, suddenly burst into laughter.
Song Huai smiled, and Bai Xiao's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Alright, alright, whatever you say goes." Bai Xiao sat down next to Song Huai, gently pinched his cheek, and muttered under her breath, "I'm scared of you."
Song Huai gazed intently at Bai Xiao, his eyes like autumn water. After a long while, he softly called out, "Bai Xiao."
"What's wrong?"
Not satisfied, Song Huaiyou called out again, "Bai Xiao."
"Um?"
Song Huai's voice trembled with tears again: "Why are you so good to me?"
Song Huai's sudden bluntness left Bai Xiao at a loss. He desperately tried to recall what he had read in the book about what to do in this situation.
After thinking for a long time, Bai Xiao was horrified to discover that "How to Confess Your Love" was not a panacea. Indeed, one cannot just read books blindly.
He coughed lightly, "No, it's just... isn't this what normal couples do?"
The next moment, Song Huai wrapped his arms around Bai Xiao's neck. He stared at the tightly pursed lips of the person in front of him, slowly approaching, his breathing rapid.
Finally, Song Huai's lips met Bai Xiao's, and they began to kiss passionately.
From gentle caresses to cautious probing, and finally to a passionate, tumultuous kiss.
Song Huai reached out his trembling hand, wanting to unbutton Bai Xiao's collar.
At this moment, Bai Xiao suddenly came to her senses, pushed away Song Huai's hand, and stood up abruptly from the bedside, taking a step back.
"Bai Xiao, don't you want to?" Song Huai didn't understand why Bai Xiao was refusing him. He looked up at Bai Xiao with a dazed expression, his big round eyes filled with tears, like a pitiful little rabbit.
Bai Xiao closed his eyes, concealing the lustful look in them. He took a deep breath before slowly opening his eyes.
At this moment, his gaze calmed down a bit. "Song Huai, your body can't take it."
After saying that, he turned to leave and go take a cold shower.
Bai Xiao still vividly remembered the two of them being so wild last night. Song Huai's health was already poor, and if they were to go through another round of roughhousing tonight... he was afraid Song Huai wouldn't be able to handle it.
Song Huai hadn't expected this reason. He was silent for a moment, then provocatively asked, "Bai Xiao, are you impotent?"
Bai Xiao paused in his steps, about to leave. He looked at Song Huai on the bed, his gaze intense: "Say that again?"
Song Huai's voice lowered slightly: "You...you're not good enough?"
Bai Xiao gritted his teeth, his chest heaving for a long time before he finally spoke, "Song Huai, your provocation won't work on me." He forcibly ignored Song Huai's disappointed look and walked towards the door again, "I still have work to do, you should rest."
Song Huai called out again, "Bai Xiao."
Bai Xiao was furious: "What are you doing now...?"
Bai Xiao turned around angrily, but was stunned by the scene before her.
Song Huai's clothes were slightly open, revealing his slender white neck and distinct collarbone. His eyes were full of affection, looking at Bai Xiao with an innocent yet aggrieved expression.
Bai Xiao was merely a mortal, and even with his astonishing composure, he could no longer remain calm.
He quickly returned to the bed, unbuttoning the top few buttons of his shirt as he pinned Song Huai down, his voice low and menacing: "You asked for this, don't regret it."
Song Huai continued unbuttoning Bai Xiao's clothes. "I don't regret it."
Like a wild beast unleashed, Bai Xiao buried her head in Song Huai's neck, licking and nibbling, and sniffing the faint fragrance on Song Huai's body. The fragrance was extremely faint, and could only be smelled when the nose was pressed against the neck. It was hard to describe what the smell was, but it was very alluring. Bai Xiao wished she could spend the rest of her life smelling this fragrance.
...
Time passed, and both of them were drenched in sweat. Song Huai leaned against Bai Xiao's chest, panting heavily, his mind still blank.
Bai Xiao held Song Huai in his arms, his breathing steady. He looked down at the panting Song Huai, his eyes full of tenderness, but he said sarcastically, "Tired already? You really don't get enough exercise."
Song Huai gradually came to his senses. He looked up at Bai Xiao, panting heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Again."
Bai Xiao had the same idea. He stroked Song Huai's slightly swollen lips and kissed him again.
"Ring ring! Ring ring!"
Just as the two were getting into the swing of things, the phone suddenly rang.
This is the Bai family's internal phone line. Unless something extremely serious has happened, this phone will not ring.
Bai Xiao ignored the phone call and buried her head in Song Huai's neck as usual, thirstily inhaling the faint fragrance.
Finally, Song Huai regained a sliver of his senses and pushed Bai Xiao's head away: "Bai Xiao, there's... there's a phone call."
After being pushed away, Bai Xiao stared at Song Huai with displeasure, her eyes clearly showing her unsatisfied desire.
The phone kept ringing like a death knell.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Xiao couldn't help but curse, then reluctantly got out of bed to answer the phone.
After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, Bai Xiao's expression froze.
"Okay," Bai Xiao said, and then hung up the phone.
Song Huai quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"The hospital called and said that Bai Jingzhong... is not going to make it." Bai Xiao's tone was very calm, without any emotion.
Song Huai paused for a moment, then quickly got out of bed. "Then I'll go to the hospital with you."
Bai Xiao stopped Song Huai, saying, "It's nothing serious, you go to sleep first, I'll go."
"But……"
Bai Xiao interrupted Song Huai, "It's really nothing. You're tired today, go to sleep." Bai Xiao then pressed Song Huai back onto the bed, kissed him on the forehead, and left.
Song Huai was skeptical. He took out paper and pen, intending to write the score while waiting for Bai Xiao to return. However, he was extremely tired at the moment. Before long, his eyelids began to droop, and after a while, he lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep.
--
Inside the hospital, the operating room was brightly lit all night.
The two bodyguards outside the operating room bowed respectfully to the newcomer and said, "Young Master."
Bai Xiao sat down in a seat in front of the door and nodded to them. "How is the person?"
The two bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them handed Bai Xiao a stack of papers, hesitatingly saying, "Several critical condition notices have already been issued. The doctor said... the family should be prepared."
Bai Xiao took the stack of papers, glanced at them, and was not entirely surprised by the result.
He put the paper aside and then asked, "Has the news been blocked?"
"We don't know the news yet."
Bai Xiao sighed silently, "This matter can't be kept secret forever. Let's keep it a secret for as long as we can."
The bodyguard lowered his head: "Yes, sir, I will do my best."
Over the years, the Bai family appeared to be living in harmony under Bai Jingzhong's iron-fisted leadership. However, since the head of the family fell ill, Bai Zhang, along with several uncles from collateral branches, began to stir up trouble. But fearing that Bai Jingzhong was still alive, they dared not openly challenge Bai Xiao and could only bury their ambitions deep in their hearts.
Once Bai Jingzhong passes away, the Bai family will inevitably face a fierce battle.
Bai Xiao rubbed his aching temples, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.
Born as the heir of the Bai family, a man of great renown, he enjoyed immense wealth and honor, but he also bore the heavy responsibility of continuing the family business. His father began to instruct him on his identity when he was a child.
And so, he gradually grew into the all-powerful Bai Xiao in the eyes of outsiders. But what those people couldn't have imagined was that there were many things that were never under his control.
Back then, after his father was diagnosed with cancer, he was thrust into the center of power overnight and began to take over the family affairs. Then, he suffered another misfortune when his boyfriend, Song Boyu, died in an accident. He didn't even have time to attend Song Boyu's funeral before he was called to the company by a phone call to deal with an urgent matter.
Over the years, he had been constantly hypnotizing himself, telling himself that he was nothing but a puppet on a string, devoid of emotion, until Song Huai appeared, which stirred the stagnant waters of his heart.
Thinking of Song Huai, a smile unconsciously crept onto Bai Xiao's lips.
That person is probably sleeping soundly in their bed right now.
Just as Bai Xiao was lost in thought, the operating room lights went out.
The door opened, and the doctor came out.
Bai Xiao stood up and asked, "Dean Zhang, how is my father?"
"Young Master Bai," Dean Zhang greeted Bai Xiao, then said, "He's been saved this time, but President Bai is in danger of losing vital signs at any moment, so we can't let our guard down."
"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Xiao patted his shoulder.
After Dean Zhang left, Bai Xiao stood there, lost in thought for a long time.
Then the bodyguard came over again and said, "Young Master, Mr. Bai wants to see you."
