So, Chi Baiyi found another "excuse" to contact Qin Yuanyao.
He sent Qin Yuanyao a WeChat message, telling her about the foreign bank incident, and said:
[Chi Baiyi: Are you free tonight? I'll pick you up, and we can chat with Cheese about riding the yellow mask.]
Qin Yuanyao saw Chi Baiyi's message while she was on the set of an advertisement shoot.
With the immense popularity of "Our Little Family," she has received an increasing number of advertisers.
After several rounds of selection and review by Yao Mu, she was finally offered advertising contracts with four brands.
Today she is filming an advertisement for a hair care brand.
During a break in the advertisement shoot, Qin Yuanyao got her phone and saw a WeChat message from Chi Baiyi.
She was extremely surprised, never expecting that the person following her would be connected to Cui Yi.
She replied to Chi Baiyi immediately.
[Qin Yuanyao: Where are you chatting with Cheese? I can go there myself.]
[Chi Baiyi: My house, I'll come pick you up, and then we'll go to Cheese's great-grandfather's house to pick up Cheese.]
Qin Yuanyao instinctively wanted to politely decline Chi Baiyi's offer to pick her up.
But as this thought surfaced in her mind, she recalled Chi Baiyi's undisguised, burning gaze that night, and his words, "Miss Qin, are you unwilling to give me a chance to perform?"
Qin Yuanyao's cheeks flushed.
She pursed her lips shyly and typed:
Qin Yuanyao: I'm filming an advertisement, it should be finished in about two or three hours.
[Chi Baiyi: Okay, send me the address, I'll pick you up when it's almost over]
Qin Yuanyao shared her current location with Chi Baiyi.
Seeing Qin Yuanyao's shy and coquettish appearance, Yao Mu, sitting next to Qin Yuanyao, teased in a low voice, "Chatting with Chi Baiyi."
Qin Yuanyao was startled and instinctively pressed the phone screen against her chest.
Yao Mu wasn't entirely sure at first, but seeing Qin Yuanyao's expression, she was now completely certain.
"Looks like you really are chatting with Chi Baiyi." Yao Mu's teasing tone became more and more obvious: "Don't worry, I didn't see what you two were talking about. I saw your lovestruck look on your face, so I guessed you were probably chatting with Chi Baiyi."
Qin Yuanyao touched her face.
Has she fallen for someone?
No, I don't think so!
Her expression seemed quite normal.
Qin Yuanyao cleared her throat and said seriously, "We are talking about serious business."
"I don't care what you're talking about, and I don't mind you dating. Dating is an experience, and having more experience will definitely be good for acting. However, if you want to date, you'd better keep your eyes open and not get fooled by a jerk," Yao Mu said.
Qin Yuanyao really wanted to say that she had no plans to be in a relationship at the moment.
But when she thought of Chi Baiyi, she swallowed the words back.
Whether or not to be in a relationship, let nature take its course.
If you have a good match, there's nothing wrong with dating. But if not, there's no need to force it; just focus on your career.
...
After Qin Yuanyao finished filming the advertisement, she sent a message to Chi Baiyi, who then drove over to pick her up.
Then, they went to Grandpa Chi's house to pick up the cheese from his house.
It was afternoon, and Grandpa Chi was playing chess with Grandpa Song at home, while Song Shangce and Chi Nao were making a wooden toy train on the other side of the living room.
When Xu Zhiming went in to announce his arrival, Chi Baiyi and Qin Yuanyao came in.
When Grandpa Chi learned from Xu Zhiming that Chi Baiyi had come to pick up Chi Naiqi, he was a little unhappy.
"Cheese has only been playing with me for a few days, and you're already coming to take her back."
"Grandpa, something's come up. I need to take the cheese back," Chi Baiyi said.
"What's the matter that absolutely requires us to bring her back?" Old Master Chi said with a slightly stern face.
Chi Baiyi didn't answer Grandpa Chi's question, but instead called out to Chi Naozi, "Naozi, I've come to take you home."
Chi Nai, who was having a great time playing, looked up and saw her mother and father coming together. Excitedly, she dropped her toy train and ran over.
"Sister Qin—"
Chi Nao rushed straight into Qin Yuanyao's arms and hugged her.
"Sister Qin, why are you with Dad? Did you go on a date?" Chi Nao asked, tilting her fluffy little head and looking up with bright almond eyes.
Qin Yuanyao choked, feeling somewhat embarrassed.
She smiled casually and said, "No."
Chi Cheese gave a slightly disappointed "Oh".
"Cheese, go home. I'll bring you to visit your great-grandfather again in a few days," Chi Baiyi said to Chi Cheese.
Chi Nai glanced sideways at Chi Baiyi.
She started to dislike her father.
Dad didn't go on his date with Mom.
The progress is so slow!
Looking at Chi Naozi's expression, Chi Baiyi assumed that she didn't want to go home and wanted to continue playing at Grandpa Chi's place.
"I'll talk to you about that mask you're most interested in when we get home," Chi Baiyi said.
Chi Cheese instantly understood the implication in Chi Baiyi's words.
Is there any progress in Dad's investigation into Cui Yi's case, which is why he sent her home to talk to her about it?
“Okay.” Chi Nao nodded.
Grandpa Chi noticed the key point in their conversation and said, "What mask? Cheese, what kind of mask are you interested in? Tell your great-grandfather, and he can buy you a whole box."
"No need, great-grandfather, my dad already bought it for me. Great-grandfather, I'm going home now, I'll come back to play next time!" Chi Nai waved goodbye to Grandpa Chi, Grandpa Song, and Song Shangce with the air of a little adult.
Two elderly people and a child watched their car drive away.
Old Master Chi grumbled to himself.
That kid Chi Baiyi is so unethical; he managed to coax Chi Nai Chef home with just a mask.
Next time he'll buy a box, no, two boxes, no, three boxes of masks! He'll make Chi Cheese so happy she won't want to go home, hmph.
Although Song Shangce appeared cold on the surface, he couldn't hide his reluctance.
What kind of mask could make Chi Cheese refuse to play the wooden train with him anymore?
Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to play with Chi Cheese again.
...
Imperial Water Pavilion Garden.
Back home, Chi Baiyi took Chi Nao and Qin Yuanyao to his study.
After closing the study door, Chi Baiyi told Chi Nao in detail about Lin Heng's stalking of Qin Yuanyao and the same foreign bank account.
To make it easier for Chi Nao to understand, Chi Baiyi concluded by saying, "In other words, someone transferred money to Cui Yi through a foreign bank, and also transferred money to Lin Heng, who was following Sister Qin. This transfer of money occurred before Cui Yi took Zhao Lan's yellow mask and before Lin Heng started following Sister Qin."
"The other party may know that you asked me to investigate Cui Yi, and that we investigated Lin Heng, in order to prevent us from learning anything from Cui Yi and Lin Heng. The other party has protected these two people. Now we can't find them, and we have no way of knowing who transferred money to them or why they transferred money to them."
Chi Baiyi stared at Chi Naozi: "Naozi, do you know who transferred money to Cui Yi and Lin Heng?"
