Chapter 190 Taking the Wrong Medicine
Meanwhile, Xu Bai hurriedly led his dog to Xu Chi's place overnight.
"Uncle, uncle, hurry, hurry! Here's the wolf fang for you!"
"I'm getting ready to go back to the port city!"
Xu Bai put down the dog and prepared to run away.
Xu Chi was slightly taken aback, and unusually put down his work, raising an eyebrow: "Stop."
What are you going back for?
Xu Bai's eyes flickered: "Well... I haven't been back for a long time, and if I don't go back soon, my dad will be furious."
"And Grandpa!" He smiled sheepishly. "Grandpa said last time that he was planning to have someone break my legs."
"Uncle, if we don't go back soon, my life will be in danger!"
Xu Chi looked at him meaningfully, "Is that so?"
"certainly!"
Xu Chi nodded and glanced at his phone.
The screen was empty; there were no messages.
He tapped his knuckles slowly on the table, a sudden surge of irritation washing over him.
I subconsciously tried to balance this feeling of irritability.
"Do you need me to help you cancel the engagement?"
Xu Bai:?
Xu Chi patiently repeated, "Do you need it?"
Xu Bai immediately panicked and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, no need!"
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow. "Why not?"
"It's...too troublesome!"
Xu Bai stammered, "And...and because you suddenly proposed to cancel the engagement, the Cheng family might think we look down on them! What if we become enemies then!"
Xu Chi calmly reassured him, "It's not too much trouble. I just submitted a maritime strategy, which can be considered as standing up for the Cheng family. If we break off the engagement now, the Cheng family probably won't say anything."
Xu Bairen was dumbfounded.
Did his uncle take the wrong medicine?!
"Uncle, you really don't need to!"
Seeing him turn red with anxiety and pace around aimlessly, Xu Chi felt much better.
"Fine, then forget it."
Xu Bai breathed a sigh of relief and turned to run away.
Before I could run two steps, a low-pitched "warning" came from behind me.
"It's nothing shameful. Just tell the truth next time, or I'll really remove you from the list."
Xu Bai:? ? ?
He turned around halfway, gave an awkward smile, and tentatively asked, "...Uncle, what's so shameful about it?"
Xu Chi glanced at him indifferently; some people do indeed deserve to follow for 1,800 chapters.
He couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention, so he got up and picked up Wolf Fang.
Xu Bai:......
Even if he didn't want to know, his uncle had figured it out.
He quickly tried to smooth things over: "...Um, Uncle, do you want to come back with us? Grandpa and Dad haven't seen you in a long time, have they?"
"I won't reply."
Xu Bai: "...Oh."
Now that his uncle knew, he stopped hiding it from him.
He simply took out his phone and made a video call to Cheng Sangsang.
"Little Curly Hair, I forgot to ask you, what time is your flight?"
He had barely finished asking when he looked at him with surprise, as if he'd seen something: "??? Big sister? What are you doing here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Chi's hand, which was holding the leash, paused instantly.
Before Xu Bai could say another word, his phone was snatched away.
"Why!"
Tu Yao was standing next to Cheng Sangsang, about to greet Xu Bai, when she saw the screen suddenly shake and a familiar face appear.
She quickly smiled and waved.
"Xiao Chi, you're here too. I'm planning to go to Hong Kong with Sang Sang."
Cheng Sangsang added from the side, "We originally booked plane tickets, but Tu Xiaomao is going back with me, so we plan to take a helicopter back."
On the screen, Xu Chi only reacted for a second, "Wait a moment, I'll go with you."
Xu Bai:? ? ?
...
An hour later, a private plane landed at the temporary docking point.
Xu Chi took the suitcase from Tu Yao with one hand and gently put his other hand around her shoulder as they boarded the plane.
The question was asked, almost casually: "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?"
Tu Yao looked up at him. "I left in a hurry and didn't have time to tell my brother and the others. I plan to tell you all when I get here."
She said with a hint of helplessness, "Xiao Chi, you don't actually need to come with me."
"I just went to deal with the household registration issue and then accompanied Sangsang to find the source of those materials."
Tu Yao repeated the reasons she had given to Madam Jiang.
Xu Chi's eyes flickered slightly. "...Is that so?"
"It's okay, I haven't been back for a long time either. I was planning to go back sometime anyway."
Xu Bai, following behind the two: ? ? ?
Unable to resist, she tugged at Cheng Sangsang, "Little curly hair... my uncle's acting like he'd taken the wrong medicine today..."
"Hey, don't you think my uncle and my older sister are acting weird?"
Cheng Sangsang glanced at him with disbelief.
Chou Xubai, the only outlier in the Xu family, seems to have inherited not a single bit of intelligence.
"...If you don't understand, shut up!"
Xu Bai: "...Understood."
Cheng Sangsang frowned slightly, feeling a bit uneasy. So he must have taken the wrong medicine; he hadn't even argued with her these past two days.
Inside the cabin, Tu Yao couldn't help but look around, from her seat to the small window, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"What's wrong?"
Tu Yao smiled and said, "Xiao Chi, this is my first time on an airplane."
It's the first time in both worlds.
Tu Yao shook her head again: "No, no, this is the second time. Last time it was you who flew the helicopter."
Xu Chi's eyes softened. "Then I'll book your third time."
Cheng Sangsang turned her head and saw that Xu Bai was also looking at the plane.
Unlike Tu Yao's curiosity, he looked wary and thoughtful.
"...What are you doing?"
Xu Bai frowned deeply: "...I'm thinking, should we split up or park the plane in a secluded place later?"
"Why?"
Xu Bai suddenly slapped his thigh!
He said indignantly, "It's all because of those gossip reporters. They couldn't get a picture of my uncle's face, but they recognized this private jet."
"Didn't they take a picture of my uncle and his assistant getting off the plane around this time last year, and then..."
Halfway through his sentence, he seemed to remember something and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"...Uncle, do you remember what that audacious paparazzi wrote about you last year?"
"He said you're frigid and destined to be alone for life! You'll have to be the first to offer incense for three months to find a girlfriend, hahaha..."
Xu Bai laughed until tears streamed down his face!
"Little Curly Hair, have you seen this?!"
Cheng Sangsang: ...
Why aren't you saying anything?
"Hahahaha, but that newspaper apologized on their knees the very next day, and then my uncle was called the King of Hell of Hong Kong, hahahahaha..."
"My uncle is so young, yet he has a terrible reputation, hahaha..."
Cheng Sangsang's eyes were filled with complicated emotions: "You..."
How dare you...
...How can someone be so blind as to see things in this state?
Xu Bai was laughing when he suddenly shivered.
He subconsciously turned his head and saw Xu Chi staring at him with exceptionally gentle eyes.
Xu Bai:......
Xu Chi closed his eyes, slowly exhaled, and looked to his side.
Sure enough, Tu Yao was clearly stunned.
He carefully considered his words before speaking: "Some reporters in Hong Kong have a penchant for making things up..."
Before he could finish speaking, Tu Yao suddenly looked at him with a strange expression.
"...Xiao Chi, you're Xiao Bai's uncle."
