Qin Bai helped Pei Wanyin clear away the dishes, and then the two sat down in the living room.
"Xiao Bai, what would you like to drink? How about coffee?"
"Forget it, I'll be able to enjoy this every day in a while. For now, let's stick with Coke."
Pei Wanyin took a bottle of cola from the refrigerator and handed it over.
Qin Bai didn't stand on ceremony. He opened the bottle, took a big gulp, leaned back on the sofa, and slowly closed his eyes.
He's been living in constant fear lately, and he's really exhausted.
Now that I've relaxed, I suddenly feel sleepy.
Within a few minutes, his breathing gradually became even.
Seeing his condition, Pei Wanyin felt sorry for him and covered him with a blanket, then took his phone and put it on silent mode.
Then she went to the study and gently closed the door.
She wasn't bothered at all that Qin Bai could fall asleep right there; on the contrary, she was quite pleased.
This precisely demonstrates that he did not consider himself an outsider and had no sense of defensiveness here.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Bai opened his eyes.
I was a little confused by my surroundings, and it took me a few seconds to realize where I was.
Looking out the window, the stars are already twinkling. I can't believe I slept until this hour.
"You're awake? I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow morning." Pei Wanyin handed over a glass of warm water.
Qin Bai scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I don't know what happened, I just fell asleep right there."
"What kind of rubbish are you using? Sit down, I want to talk to you about something serious."
The two sat on the sofa, and Pei Wanyin asked, "What are your plans for the future?"
Qin Bai lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said:
"I've already applied for early graduation from university, and I expect it will be approved in the next few days."
"It'll be simple after graduation; I'll just find a place and start living the life of a beast of burden."
"If I meet a suitable girl in the future, I will get married and have children so that my mother can enjoy her old age in peace."
Pei Wanyin stopped smiling and stared at Qin Bai for a while.
"to be honest."
"This is..."
"To be honest," she said, her tone becoming more serious.
Qin Bai looked at her with some surprise: "Sister Wanyin, how do you know that's not what I think?"
"Ha! I know your personality too well. After something so big, are you willing to live like this from now on?"
"That's not something you could have guessed."
Pei Wanyin looked at him with a hint of amusement: "The key point is, are you willing to give those girls away?"
Qin Bai waved his hand dismissively: "What's there to be resentful about? I have nothing to do with them."
"Alright, if one day one of them, let's say Shen Muyao, you've seen her father, and she marries a fat, rich man, what would you think?"
Qin Bai unconsciously tightened his grip on the sofa armrest.
However, she still retorted, "Tch! What business is it of my what she marries?"
"Hmph! You're stubborn as a mule. Otherwise, imagine your little darling being forced..."
Qin Bai suddenly turned his head: "Sister, I admit defeat. I admit that they are partly to blame."
Pei Wanyin gave a victorious smile: "That's a good girl. What can't you tell me?"
"It's not that I can't say, it's just that I'm afraid you'll laugh at me. I have nothing now, how could I be worthy of them?"
"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. Take it slow. You're still young. With your intelligence and emotional intelligence, you'll definitely achieve something great."
Qin Bai nodded vigorously.
Having faced life and death, he did indeed come to understand many things.
What the hell are these worldly theories? Who says you can't marry a rich heiress?
Since their statuses are unequal, I'll make them equal.
Although the process may be arduous and the hope may be slim, Qin Bai still has his own ideas.
Who says that equal status means one must rise to prominence on their own?
Why not just bankrupt their entire families?
Of course, this might be more difficult, but it's still a viable option.
Pei Wanyin saw the wicked smile on his face and knew that this kid was definitely up to something bad again.
Several years ago, she discovered that Qin Bai was quite interesting; he always had some strange and unusual ideas popping into his head.
His thinking is also particularly unpredictable, completely nonsensical.
But to be fair, you can always get emotional satisfaction from him; his little mouth is as sweet as honey.
Pei Wanyin took out her phone and sent a string of numbers to Qin Bai.
He was shocked after reading the message on his phone.
"Sister Wanyin, you haven't joined some terrorist organization, have you? Is this the activation code for a missile?"
Pei Wanyin laughed and playfully hit him: "Can you be serious for once? This is the house's combination lock."
"Huh? Why are you giving me this?"
"This house will be yours from now on."
Qin Bai looked around the house. It had three bedrooms, two living rooms, and a study. The living room was even bigger than the house he had rented.
He immediately shook his head: "No, I can't even afford the property management fees here."
"Don't worry, I've already paid the property management fees."
Qin Bai lowered his head and sighed softly, "Alas, I still can't escape the fate of being kept by a sugar daddy. I never thought..."
Pei Wanyin grabbed his ear directly.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, sis, I was wrong, I'll never say anything like that again."
Qin Bai has this one good quality: he can bend over backwards and he'll definitely back down when it's time to admit his mistakes.
"Do you want this house?"
"want."
Pei Wanyin then let go, and said with her hands on her hips.
“I’m not giving you this house for free; it’s renting it to you. You have to pay me rent every month, understand?”
Qin Bai didn't speak, but simply nodded gratefully.
He did not refuse Pei Wanyin's kindness. In this world, apart from Cheng Jing, only she could make Qin Bai lower his guard.
Besides, once my mother is discharged from the hospital, we can't just go back to that rented room.
The environment is one aspect, but the key point is...
The old man who collects junk took everything; not even a bottle of shampoo was left.
"Sis, what did you say to them when you kicked me out this morning?"
"Want to know?"
"Hmm." Qin Bai was still very curious about this.
"Hehe, you'll find out in time, but I advise you to hurry up and find a way to marry Shen Muyao."
"Isn't there a need to be in such a hurry?"
Pei Wanyin said seriously, "You may not know Shen Mu's personality. He doesn't treat Shen Muyao as a daughter at all. All feelings are just tools for making money in his eyes. Today, her threat to kill herself has already sounded the alarm for Shen Mu."
Qin Bai frowned slightly: "You mean he's likely to find Shen Muyao a new boyfriend as soon as possible?"
"That's right, things can change in the long run. He's raised his daughter for so many years and she's about to run off with someone else. What do you think he'll do?"
After hearing this, Qin Bai broke out in a cold sweat.
An image of a cool and obedient girl came to mind.
