Bai Shu didn't know when the friend request was sent. He didn't think that Mr. Xiao, who was so busy, would be constantly staring at his phone. Even if it really was him, it would take a long time for him to reply.
She planned to put down her phone and study first, but unexpectedly, just a few seconds after she clicked send, a sentence popped up on the page.
[It's me. Baby, where are you?]
Baby?!
What the heck!
Startled, Bai Shu leaned back, causing the chair legs to creak loudly and slide across the floor. The old man looked up in surprise, and Bai Shu smiled awkwardly at him, apologizing softly.
The old man chuckled and said, "It's alright, there's no one else in the reading room right now. What happened? Bai Shu, be careful not to fall."
"Yes, I will, thank you, sir."
She thanked them, calmed herself down, moved back to the table, and looked at her phone.
This is definitely not Mr. Xiao, it must be some kind of swindler!
She muttered to herself, but then she saw a few words appear on her phone.
Don't misunderstand, when you were little, I visited your home, and your aunt and uncle told me to call you that, saying it was your childhood nickname.
[Didn't I tell you? I'm your older brother. Calling me Mr. Xiao is too formal.]
Bai Zhu's expression was a bit strange.
She did have "Baby" as her nickname for a period of time when she was little, but girls develop a sense of shame very quickly. When she started elementary school, she realized that the nickname was really shameful and strongly stopped her parents from calling her that.
She never imagined that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye, and that a complete stranger would call her that so intimately.
You're too kind... After I grew up, my parents stopped calling me by that nickname. You can call me Baizhu instead.
Xiao Lingchen replied very quickly: [If you keep calling me that so politely, then I'll keep calling you "baby."]
This person—
Why are you being so persistent?
Bai Zhu was so angry that she couldn't help but laugh.
He seemed so noble, aloof, proud and elegant when we first met, how come he's so shameless in private?
Bai Shu couldn't help but recall that this man had saved her last night. Before going to bed, she had searched for him online out of curiosity and discovered that Xiao Lingchen had quite a few female fans.
Xiao Lingchen rarely appears in public, but everyone in the financial circle knows that the Xiao family has a sole heir, the eldest son of the Xiao family.
He made a brief appearance in a few high-end financial interviews, and his handsome profile caused a flood of comments from fans who knelt down and called him "daddy" or "husband"...
Do those fans and admirers know that their arrogant and aloof prince, whom they worship to the extreme, is actually such a lecherous and shameless person behind the scenes?
Baby, where are you now? Are you at home? I'm coming to find you.
Bai Zhu gritted her teeth and replied: [I'm not home, I'm at the library. What can I do for you?]
[Has the baby had breakfast? I found a fairly authentic teahouse. What would you like to eat? I'll bring it over. Shrimp dumplings, steamed buns, glutinous rice chicken, water chestnut cake, rabbit dumplings, vegetarian tofu skin rolls, mango coconut pudding, spring rolls... Do you have any dietary restrictions?]
I've already had breakfast, so you don't need to deliver it!
Bai Shu hurriedly replied to the message, but Xiao Lingchen on the other end did not reply. She sent several messages, but he remained silent. Bai Shu absentmindedly flipped through her textbook for half an hour when her phone suddenly rang.
What arrived was a voice message.
