Chapter 217: Picking up the Tab

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At around 5 pm, Old Wang and Bai Xue left the coffee shop together.

The early evening presented an opportunity for some leisurely activities, with Old Wang suggesting they go shopping, a proposition that Bai Xue readily accepted.

They hailed a taxi to the bustling pedestrian street and began a relaxed stroll.

At the Chanel shop, Bai Xue was looking at a dress. After trying it on, she was very satisfied. Old Wang saw that it cost more than 6,000 yuan. This was Old Wang’s living expenses for two months. However, Old Wang did not hesitate and paid for Bai Xue.

After walking out, Bai Xue was very happy. When Old Wang saw that Bai Xue was so happy, he was also very happy. He felt that the money was not wasted.

When it was time for dinner, the two of them chose a western restaurant.

It was almost eight o’clock after dinner.

After walking out of the restaurant, Old Wang was still a little excited. This was the first time he had been with Bai Xue for such a long time. Furthermore, Old Wang could feel that Bai Xue was in a very good mood.

“Little Xue, it’s getting late. Allow me to take you home,” he offered.

Bai Xue smiled but declined, “No need, Brother Wang. 1 can take a taxi myself. You can return to school.”

She didn’t want to sit in a taxi with him again.

Id Wang was bewildered. They had reached a crucial moment, but Bai Xue had surprisingly declined him. What was going on?

“Little Xue, it’s dangerous for a young lady to be alone in a taxi,” Old Wang protested.

Before he could finish, Bai Xue interjected, “Brother Wang, there are paparazzi near my house. If…”

She left the sentence unfinished, hinting that her future prospects would be jeopardized if the paparazzi captured pictures of her with Old Wang.

Old Wang comprehended Bai Xue’s unspoken concern. Being considerate, he promptly hailed a taxi.

Opening the car door for Bai Xue, she gracefully entered. Old Wang tapped the window and generously handed the driver 100 yuan.

“Sir, here’s the fare,” he stated.

“Brother Wang, I’ll pay for it myself,” Bai Xue insisted.

Old Wang feigned annoyance, saying, “Can’t we dispense with such formality between us?”

“Alright, goodbye, Brother Wang,” Bai Xue relented.

As the driver set off, he inquired, “Miss, where to?”

“Binhai No. 1,” Bai Xue declared proudly.

The driver was stunned. That was a place where only the rich lived.

Ten minutes later, the car halted near the neighborhood. It wasn’t the driver’s choice to stop at the entrance; rather, Bai Xue aimed to avoid any embarrassing paparazzi shots.

Donning a hat and a mask, Bai Xue exited the car.

After the taxi left, Bai Xue walked into the neighborhood. Before she could walk far, someone suddenly hugged Bai Xue from behind.

Bai Xue cried out in fear.

“Don’t shout, it’s me.” Jiang Jun said.

Hearing his voice, Bai Xue’s initial fear gave way to anger and disgust.

“Jiang Jun, have you lost your mind?” she demanded. “You scared me half to death. Let go immediately. If Li Yan sees us, it’s all over.”

She could only hope that Jiang Jun remained unaware of Li Yan’s absence on a business trip.

Jiang Jun, too, was wary of being spotted by Li Yan, but he couldn’t contain his longing for Bai Xue.

“Little Xue, I miss you,” Jiang Jun confessed. “Since our last encounter, 1 haven’t been interested in anyone else. Can we spend time together?”

Bai Xue’s expression turned stern. “Are you insane?” she retorted. “Release me right now.”

“Go ahead and scream,” Jiang Jun replied eagerly.

Bai Xue, feigning innocence, added, “I can’t stand you. Let’s just… find somewhere else to go.”

Seeing Bai Xue compromise, Jiang Jun immediately became proud. This move was indeed useful.

“Why? We’re almost at your place. Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Jiang Jun teased.

Bai Xue felt a pang of guilt. Could it be that Jiang Jun already knew that Li Yan was away on a business trip? This couldn’t be possible.

Shaking off Jiang Jun’s grip, she warned, “Jiang Jun, don’t think you can have your way just because you have something on me. Let me make it clear, if things go south, 1 might get abandoned, but what about you? Will Li Yan let you off? Let go of me.”

Jiang Jun remained fearful of Li Yan, but he didn’t want to let this opportunity slip away. He relinquished his hold and took Bai Xue’s hand.

“Don’t be upset, Little Xue,” Jiang Jun implored. “Let’s go somewhere else.”

Bai Xue saw that Jiang Jun was feeling guilty, and she immediately became confident. She pushed him away with a stern expression.

“I don’t have the time or the mood right now. Li Yan is waiting for me at home.”

Jiang Jun’s face contorted in frustration. As he was about to express his anger, a voice emanated from nearby.

“What are you two doing?”

Bai Xue’s face brightened with relief as she spotted the neighborhood’s patrolling security guards..
