Chapter 148 (First published on Jinjiang Literature City)
Bai Li rubbed her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine."
The delivery guy who was urging him didn't dare to push him too hard anymore, and only vaguely reminded him, "Well, it's about to start."
"I'll be right there."
Bai Li tossed her phone aside and stood up from her chair.
He had originally thought that the gentleman might be able to make it back in time for today's dance.
Zhou Zhi, as the main dancer, performed a solo dance at the beginning of the show.
When it was Bai Li's turn to go on stage, several of Bai's older brothers sat below watching.
Tan Yi also recorded a short video of her younger brother and posted it on Weibo.
[Talking V: Baby is amazing!!!]
Image caption: Bai Li's 10-second dance video.
Underneath this video, fans ingeniously tagged Xie Chen repeatedly.
"@Xie Chen, hey, can I have Lili?"
"@Xie Chen, come and see the absolutely gorgeous Lili."
Besides a bunch of people tagging him, there were also some pessimistic comments: "Didn't you see the trending topics on Weibo? Xie Chen is holding hands with another woman. Lili is probably a thing of the past."
There were quite a few discouraging comments.
After posting on Weibo, Tan Yi focused on watching the ball and didn't look at her phone again.
Therefore, he was unaware that his Weibo post was personally retweeted by Xie Chen twenty minutes later.
[Xie Chen V: It's great! //@Tan Yi V: Baby is awesome!!!]
Xie Chen doesn't post on Weibo often, but his fans have been waiting for him on Weibo until their legs go numb.
Seeing the post-mortem animation, I quickly started scrolling through the comments.
One of the popular comments asked about the trending topic, and Xie Chen specifically picked it out to reply: "It's not a male-female relationship, it's a mother-son relationship."
After clarifying the situation on Weibo, Xie Chen quickened his pace.
The young woman beside him didn't hold his hand for long before letting go and going to hold her own husband.
"Honey, in the blink of an eye, our Ah Chen has not only grown up so much, but he's also really with the cat now."
The fortune teller had already told them about the cats on Monster Mountain back then.
However, they never expected that all of these words would come true.
Xie Chen listened to his parents talking about his personal issues without any reservations, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, Mom, Lili has never met you before. When you do, please don't scare him."
"rest assured."
Xie's mother said with a smile, "Your father and I will not beat you and the cat."
The return journey was faster than the way there.
Grandpa Lang stayed by his side the whole time, but his gaze was still filled with concern.
That day, the Snow Mountain Formation was activated, and the Xie couple, who had entered the formation themselves, awoke.
Xie Chen has awakened to his original identity.
A half-demon is someone who harbors a natural hatred for this world.
However, Xie Chen did not. He was momentarily dazed and struggled, but suddenly came to his senses when Grandpa Lang called out Bai Li's name.
I don't know how much time passed.
Xie Chen finally returned to City A. When he arrived, Bai Li's ball had just ended.
"Lili!"
Tan Yi presented him with flowers in a very ceremonial manner: "You did a particularly good job tonight, I recorded it all."
Bai Li accepted the flowers, and her mood seemed to improve.
After the dance, there was naturally a dinner party for Zhou Zhi's group.
Tan Yi and Bai Li both followed Zhou Zhi, while Bai Lin and the others did not come closer.
"Lili, are you unhappy?"
He was still quite sensitive when it came to conversation, so he lowered his voice and asked his beloved younger brother with concern, "You don't seem to be in much of a mood."
Bai Li shook her head and said nothing.
With Zhou Zhi in charge at the dinner, unlike last time, no one dared to openly try to woo Tan Yi or Bai Li.
However, there were no explicit statements, but rather subtle ones.
"Bai Li, I've always admired you. If you'd like, you can come and have a heart-to-heart talk with me after you and President Xie break up. Maybe we'll find something we can talk about."
Before the old man could say anything, Zhou Zhi sneered.
"So, Mr. Zhang, why did you insist on coming over tonight? It turns out your real intention wasn't to dance."
“Lili and President Xie get along very well. If he wants to have a heart-to-heart talk, he will talk to his biological father. He might not be used to you, who is almost like his biological father.”
Zhou Zhi's rebuttal was straightforward.
Mr. Zhang was embarrassed and his expression turned ugly.
"Zhou Zhi, we've been working together for quite a while now, and this is how you talk about me? Bai Li is divorced from Xie Chen, and even if you treat him like a treasure, I'm still got a chance—"
"No chance what?"
The door to the room was pushed open, and a man in a long black trench coat walked in, bringing with him a gust of cool wind.
When President Zhang, who had been clamoring to have a heart-to-heart talk with Bai Li, actually saw the person he had been talking about, he was so shocked that his hands trembled.
"I... I was just joking."
Mr. Zhang forced a smile: "Mr. Xie, what brings you here?"
"Come pick up my boyfriend."
As Xie Chen spoke, he walked a few steps to the kitten sitting in the chair, looking down at it, and said in a low voice, "Lili, I'm back."
Bai Li was stunned for a long time.
He was still wondering if he was dreaming, otherwise, how could the gentleman have suddenly appeared in front of him?
“Lili”.
Xie Chen disregarded the presence of others and bent down to kiss the kitten's forehead.
"Sweetie, say something to me."
"gentlemen?"
"It's me, I'm back."
Xie Chen held his hand and patiently coaxed him, "It's my fault. I was delayed for too long this time. I promise this won't happen again."
Xie Chen kept apologizing and repeatedly trying to coax the cat, which made President Huang break out in a cold sweat.
"Mr. Xie..."
He called out again, trying to make amends for his earlier mistake.
However, it was too late.
Xie Chen didn't even spare a glance for that General Manager Huang. He looked at the cat, who was still not recovered, and decided to take the cat away and comfort it.
"Zhou Zhi, Lili and I are going back first."
"Alright, you can go back now."
Zhou Zhi waved her hand tolerantly. She knew that Bai Li hadn't seen Xie Chen for a while, so she wouldn't bother him at this time.
Bai Li left with Xie Chen, and found the conversation rather pointless.
He didn't stay long; he made an excuse and left the dinner.
As soon as they left, General Manager Huang, his voice trembling, called out to Zhou Zhi.
"Zhou Zhi, you have to help me."
Xie Chen's attitude clearly indicated that he wouldn't let him off the hook.
Zhou Zhi chuckled and declined, saying, "I can't help you with that."
On the other side.
Xie Chen held Bai Li's hand, and Bai Li didn't say anything to him until they got into the car.
He felt something was amiss.
"Lili?"
Bai Li buried her head in his chest, her face pressed against his chest, without saying a word.
Xie Chen told the driver to keep going while he sat in the back seat and comforted the cat.
Are you still angry with me?
Xie Chen patted his back reassuringly and apologized to him again.
But his apology completely missed the mark.
Bai Li listened intently for a long time, but he didn't explain why he was holding hands with someone.
After much coaxing, we arrived at the villa.
As luck would have it, the woman standing at the villa entrance was Xie's mother.
Bai Li was furious as soon as she saw it.
"You, you've gone too far!"
Xie Chen: "?"
Xie Chen was completely confused: "Honey, what's wrong with me?"
"Are you really going to break up with me?" Bai Li was furious.
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, then followed his gaze and saw his mother.
"Hmm."
Xie Chen finally understood why his cat had been acting so strangely since they first met.
So it turns out there was such a big misunderstanding.
"Lili." Xie Chen led him to Xie's mother, his voice tinged with laughter: "This is my mother, quickly greet her."
Bai Li: "..."
Bai Li's head buzzed and she was completely stunned.
"Mom?!" he blurted out.
"Yes," Xie's mother replied with a smile.
Bai Li's face turned so red it could boil an egg. He stammered and changed his form of address: "Ah, Auntie, hello, I'm Bai Li."
“I know you. Ah Chen told me about you a long time ago.”
Xie's mother was a gentle woman. She took his hand and led him into the house with a smile.
Inside the house, Bai Li also saw Xie's father, who was quite handsome.
“Lili”.
Xie's mother looked at him expectantly: "Can you turn into a cat so that his father and I can see you?"
Bai Li hesitated for a few seconds, but finally, under Xie Chen's encouraging gaze, she turned back into a cat with a snap.
The short, snow-white cat, with its round body, looked down at the ground, tilted its head back, and opened its beautiful amber eyes wide: "Meow."
Mother Xie was struck by Meng's cuteness.
"Ah Chen, you are so lucky."
Mother Xie picked up the round little kitten, placed it on her lap, and rubbed it: "Such an adorable kitten, it's really lucky that our Xie family was able to snag it."
Bai Li's soft belly was being rubbed, and instead of protesting, she spread herself out a bit more, making it easier for her husband's mother to pet the cat!
It's fair to say that this service is quite considerate.
Xie's mother became increasingly addicted to petting the cat, and she wouldn't have wanted to let go if Xie Chen hadn't stopped her.
With Xie's mother finally finished petting the cat, Xie Chen took it back to the bedroom.
"Meow."
I'm so tired.
The kitten kicked its legs and sighed to its master.
Xie Chen picked him up and they went into the bathroom together.
In the large bathtub, Xie Chen turned the cat back to its original form.
I want to hug you.
Xie Chen held the obedient, human-shaped cat in his arms, as if it were his most precious treasure.
"Lili, we'll go back to Monster Mountain tomorrow afternoon."
Xie Chen has delayed for so long, and now he wants to bring the cat back to Cat Mountain as soon as possible.
"Um!"
Bai Li nodded, snuggled into his arms, and said happily, "We'll go home tomorrow!"
As soon as he gets home, he can get married to his husband quickly!
