Chapter 971: What Did That Man Do to You

Hearing Zhou Sileng’s words, Bai Qi’s heartbeat quickened. She quickly turned her head and kept winking at Zhou Sileng, meaning “don’t say it!”

“Bai Qi, what’s wrong with your eyes? Are you not feeling well?” Zhou Sileng asked innocently.

Bai Qi was left speechless.

“Haha, I’m fine…”

“Mmm. Bai Qi, you haven’t answered my question yet. Who was the person you said you hated the most last night?” Zhou Sileng looked at the man across from him as he talked. “Daddy, there was a man who bullied Bai Qi because Bai Qi offended that man’s girlfriend. Then that man, he…he…”

Zhou Sileng returned his gaze on Bai Qi. “Bai Qi, he what? You didn’t tell me last night. It’s fine. Now that my daddy is here, you can say it boldly.”

Bai Qi was suffering. She was on the verge of crying. This little Sileng really hit the nail on its head when it came to topics off for discussion. It’s because he didn’t know that it was his daddy who bullied her.

This was awkward.

Then, a deep and masculine voice said. “What did that man do to you?”

Bai Qi jerked her chin up and saw that the man opposite her was also looking at her. His look was indifferent, but there was a faint smile hanging on his face.

Bai Qi felt her scalp go numb. For some reason, his smile made her feel terrified. It was like a cat had caught a mouse, but the cat didn’t eat it but played with the mouse first.

“Heh, heh heh…” Bai Qi faked a chuckle. “Nothing. We… shook hands and made peace.”

Zhou Yao finally withdrew his gaze. He put down his knife and fork and drank a mouthful of milk with incomparable elegance.

Bai Qi’s breathing ragged because he’d frightened her. However, she peeked up at him and saw him sitting by the window. The brilliant morning sunlight outside the window shone on his handsome face like a layer of wax. It was deep and charming.

Bai Qi lowered her head quickly. She felt that the back of her ears was burning.

What was she doing? Why was she peeking at that devil?

It wasn’t like she had never seen a good-looking man before. She shouldn’t be… peeking. Though, indeed, she had never seen a man more beautiful than him.

“Bai Qi, since you’ve made peace with that annoying man, then we can drop the matter. In the future, if anyone dares to bully you again, you tell me, and I’ll tell my daddy. My daddy will definitely have your back.” Zhou Sileng babbled.

Bai Qi was really afraid that this little guy would say something embarrassing again. She quietly kicked Zhou Sileng under the table.

However, Zhou Sileng did not seem to have any reaction and continued.

Bai Qi couldn’t believe it. She stretched out her leg to kick Zhou Sileng again.

However, she quickly retracted her extended leg. The man opposite her stood up straight and said with a stern expression, “Zhou Sileng, be good when I’m not home!”

“Got it, Daddy,” Zhou Sileng was in a good mood and answered right away.

Zhou Yao left.

The man completely disappeared from the villa. Bai Qi had yet to recover from her shock. Her entire face was flushed red, so red that it looked like blood was about to drip out. Did… did she kick the wrong person just now?

Did she kick that devil?

…

Zhou Yao did not return for two days in a row. Bai Qi’s alert and awkward mood relaxed. She played with Zhou Sileng and felt very, very happy.

However, happy times always fly by. In the blink of an eye, it was already Sunday afternoon.

Bai Qi held Zhou Sileng’s little hand and played on the lawn outside. Mother Zhou and the two maids took out a long jump rope. “Ms. Bai, let’s play jump rope together.”

“Jump rope? I don’t know how to play.” Bai Qi waved her hand.

“Ms. Bai, this is very fun and easy to learn. Come, I’ll show you.” Mother Zhou had the two maids swing the long rope. She went up and nimbly jumped through.

Mother Zhou’s memory went back to four years ago. At that time… Zhiyuan was still there. She had once played jump rope on the lawn like this. That was the happiest time for the entire family.

During these four years of Zhiyuan’s absence, the entire Zhou family became deserted. Zhou Yao insisted on moving out with Little Sileng and moved into this villa. Little Sileng grew up day by day without the love of a mother. As for Zhou Yao, other than the badges on his shoulder, he led a wasted life.

Mother Zhou’s eyes were a little teary, but this time, she didn’t want to cry. She was happy. For some reason, when she was with Bai Qi, she felt as if she was with Zhiyuan, very happy.

“Ms. Bai, come join us.” Mother Zhou quickly pushed Bai Qi over.

Seeing the rope swung over, Bai Qi yelped and jumped. Then she jumped through a second time, a third time…She had never played jump rope before. This was the first time based on her memory. But her movements were experienced, she wondered if she had played jump rope before.

“Bai Qi, I’m joining too.” Zhou Sileng also hopped in.

Mother Zhou reminded lovingly from aside, “Be careful, Sileng!”

“Grandma, I know!” Zhou Sileng was in front of Bai Qi, jumping in harmony with her.

Mother Zhou smiled and clapped her hands. “You guys jump, I’ll count for you. See if you can do a hundred jumps… One, two, three…”

At this moment, a luxurious black car stopped at the garage on the lawn. The door of the driver’s seat opened, and a handsome and tall figure came out.

Zhou Yao had returned.

He held a document in one hand and the car keys in the other hand as he walked towards the villa’s main entrance.

He stopped after a few steps.

He heard laughter coming from the other side. His mother was happily clapping her hands and counting. His tiny, little son and that woman were playing jump rope together. It was afternoon and the sun was setting in the west. The gorgeous and warm sun rays sprinkled all over their bodies…

Zhou Yao’s tensed muscles relaxed, and his cold and stern face gradually softened. In the past four years, his mother had never smiled like this before. He knew that his son had been very lonely. He knew the grief of this family, but he couldn’t be of any help.

But now, they were so happy. His gaze fell on that woman named Bai Qi. He could only see her from the side, and her soft, black hair covered half of her face. Her figure overlapped with Leng Zhiyuan’s in the depths of his heart.

Zhou Sileng was sweating profusely. When Mother Zhou counted to eighty, he couldn’t hold on any longer. He stopped and said, “Bai Qi, I can’t do it anymore. I’m so tired…”

Bai Qi also stopped. She stretched out her sleeve to wipe off the sweat from Zhou Sileng’s forehead. “It’s okay. Sileng did very well. We did eighty jumps this time. Next time, if we work harder and improve a little, we can do a hundred jumps.”

After receiving Bai Qi’s praise and encouragement, Zhou Sileng pounced over and hugged her leg. “Really? As long as Bai Qi thinks well of me, I’ll definitely be able to do it!”
