ATBWSTBP Chapter 101
by VolareChapter 101: Zhao Chengxi is Here Again
Li Mengyao saved the phone number, walked to the door, and looked downstairs.
There was no one in the hall, and her dad was cleaning up the kitchen.
She retreated back into her room, closed the door tightly, took out her phone, took a deep breath, and pressed the dial button.
The ringtone on the other end of the line sounded old.
Li Mengyao’s heart was in her throat.
“Beep, beep, beep…”
After ten rings, the ringing stopped, and no one answered.
Li Mengyao took the phone away from her ear, looked at it, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face.
The more anticipation she had at the beginning, the more disappointment she felt now.
“What does this mean? No one’s answering?” she muttered to herself, and dialed the number again.
Ten rings later, silence returned.
After dialing several times, she had to admit that the call couldn’t be connected.
The beautiful fantasy gradually shattered.
Come to think of it, how many people keep the same phone number for more than twenty years?
People who have lost a child should keep it, right!
“Maybe they left the phone number at home and didn’t bring it with them?”
Li Mengyao gripped her phone tightly, pacing back and forth in the room, the expression on her face changing constantly.
Her face was as wrinkled as an orange peel!
Finally, she gritted her teeth, picked up her phone, and made one last desperate attempt.
“Hello, I am Li Mengyao, the daughter of Li Shan from Little Jing Village. I have news about your son who was lost twenty years ago. He is here now, at Slow Residence, contact me when you see this message.”
After sending the message, she quickly deleted the chat history and call logs.
“I’ll try again tonight!” she muttered, put down her phone, and turned to walk downstairs.
A hundred kilometers away, in a drawer in the study on the second floor of a luxurious villa, the light turned on and off, on and off, and returned to calm more than ten minutes later.
Jin Mo slept for almost two hours.
When he woke up, Bai Xian was leaning against the headboard, reading a book.
He moved, looked up, crawled upwards, and snuggled into Bai Xian’s arms.
Bai Xian put down the book and held Jin Mo tighter.
Jin Mo looked at the clock on the wall and sighed.
“It’s almost three o’clock! I slept for another two hours, I’m becoming a pig! Eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating!”
Having just woken up, his voice was a bit lazy, coupled with a coquettish tone, it really made Bai Xian’s heart uncontrollably out of control.
He lowered his head, his fingers cradling Jin Mo’s chin, and his red lips covered his.
The little flowers that hadn’t faded away bloomed again.
A low moan escaped from the corner of Jin Mo’s lips.
A few minutes later, Bai Xian withdrew.
Emotionally, he wanted to continue kissing, but rationally, he told himself to restrain himself.
Seeing Bai Xian suddenly withdraw when his emotions were just getting high, Jin Mo felt dissatisfied and raised his hand to give Bai Xian a light slap.
“What are you doing? Continue!”
His face was flushed, his lips were swollen, his eyes were blurred, and his tone was soft and cute, truly captivating.
Bai Xian suppressed the wild beating in his heart, raised his hand, and stroked Jin Mo’s soft face.
“No rush!”
After saying that, he pulled Jin Mo up.
The two had just gotten out of bed when Xu Jiahao’s voice came from the door, accompanied by a knock.
“Jin Mo, come out quickly, Zhao Chengxi is here, and he brought a child with him!”
Jin Mo’s face changed, and he muttered.
“Why is Zhao Chengxi here again?”
While muttering, he walked towards the door.
Bai Xian picked up the quilt, shook it, folded it, and turned to follow Jin Mo.
Arriving in the hall downstairs, Zhao Chengxi was sitting cross-legged, drinking the tea Xiao Lian had brewed, opposite him sat Xiao Feiwu, glaring at him, and next to him sat a thin, frail child.
Pei Qingqing and Ruan Ying also heard the commotion downstairs, came out of their rooms, and walked towards them.
Seeing these two, Jin Mo felt annoyed and leaned towards Bai Xian involuntarily.
Sensing Jin Mo’s unhappiness, Bai Xian raised his eyebrows, glanced at the two of them, and spat out a word, “Scram!”
Jin Mo’s heart trembled! For his sake, his brother had even said that word!
Pei Qingqing’s face changed instantly. She never expected that the noble and aloof Jin Baiyan would utter such vulgar words.
Ruan Ying’s footsteps faltered, and her hands clenched into fists at her sides.
The two stood there, unsure whether to advance or retreat, very embarrassed.
Xiao Feiwu stood up and waved his hand at the two of them.
“We’re talking about business, what are you two outsiders doing here? Go back, go back!”
Pei Qingqing’s heart ached with anger, her mouth slightly open, just about to speak, but Ruan Ying stopped her.
“I’m sorry, we’re disturbing you, we’ll leave now!” Ruan Ying showed an apologetic expression, said a sentence, and pulled Pei Qingqing away.
“What are those two? Acting like they’re so familiar?” Zhao Chengxi took a sip of tea, deliberately asking a strange, piercing question, giving Pei Qingqing another arrow.
Jin Mo couldn’t help but laugh.
Zhao Chengxi did it on purpose!
How could he not know who Pei Qingqing was!
As for the other one, Bai Xian didn’t remember, but he did.
Back then, there were rumors on the forum from time to time that someone was Jin Mo’s girlfriend, and wasn’t the person in the photo this woman?
Jin Baiyan had investigated, and those posts were deliberately created!
The address displayed by the ID was this woman’s dormitory!
Zhao Chengxi “hmph’ed” twice, and once again spoke offensively.
“Some people are shameless, deliberately spreading rumors, thinking that this will make things happen, but little do they know, they’ve already been exposed!”
Ruan Ying’s legs went weak, her heart trembled, knowing that these words were directed at her, unable to refute, she could only pull Pei Qingqing to continue moving forward.
The two went upstairs and entered their room.
The few people in the hall looked at each other.
Zhao Chengxi stared at Bai Xian and Jin Mo for a while.
“Haven’t we only been apart for three days? Has your relationship progressed so rapidly?” he asked with a shocked expression.
Jin Mo turned to look at him, catching a hint of loss mixed in with his deliberately relaxed expression, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
“None of your business!”
A vulgarity slipped out!
The corners of Bai Xian’s mouth curved up, and he raised his hand to cover Jin Mo’s lips.
Jin Mo stuck out his tongue, licked Bai Xian’s fingertip, and rephrased.
“What’s it to you?”
Zhao Chengxi’s mouth was slightly open, his eyes staring at Jin Mo.
“You’re only so arrogant because you have Bai Xian backing you up, be careful I beat you to the ground!” Zhao Chengxi said, grinding his teeth.
Jin Mo pouted, buried his head in Bai Xian’s arms, and began to complain.
“Bai Xian, he’s bullying me! Before, he even pressed me to the ground and rubbed me against it, my face was pressed into the dirt, and I ate a mouthful of dirt, my arm was almost broken, and the most hurt was my heart, it was almost pressed out of my chest!”
With each sentence Jin Mo said, Bai Xian’s eyes grew colder, and by the time he heard Jin Mo say his heart was being pressed, his eyes were shooting towards Zhao Chengxi like ice.
Zhao Chengxi was almost stunned by the drama king Jin Mo.
He had seen people complain, but he had never seen anyone complain with such exaggeration!
The key was that he succeeded in complaining!
Alas, once again, he experienced the gap between him and Jin Mo in Jin Baiyan’s heart, his heart was truly dead beyond repair!
The two big guys watching the show on the side looked at each other and couldn’t help but laugh.
The child next to Zhao Chengxi was drooping his head, so quiet at such a young age, it really shocked Jin Mo.
He was buried in Bai Xian’s arms, talking, but his eyes were peeking at the child.
The child looked less than three years old, very thin, with sallow skin, messy hair, and very old clothes, and a pair of small hands were black and thin like reeds.
As they were playing around, the child didn’t react much from beginning to end.
His whole body revealed a temperament like Jin Baiyan’s when he was a child.
He became interested in this child!
