Rong Xuan refused to mention the trending topic, and Ling Zeyu, unable to do anything about his own mother, had no choice but to call Wen Xiuyuan over.
When Wen Xiuyuan came over, he brought someone with him. The moment Bai Yanfei saw Su Kai, he felt guilty and dared not look directly at him.
Where is your phone?
The first thing Su Kai said to Bai Yanfei when he saw him was to ask about his phone. The moment he saw the trending topic, he called Bai Yanfei to verify it, but Bai Yanfei's phone was already turned off. He tried calling many times, but couldn't get through.
"My phone is dead."
"Um."
"Come and sit down, everyone." Rong Xuan was a little confused when she saw Su Kai. Why was this good-for-nothing from the Su family here? She had heard that he liked Bai Yanfei.
"Aunt Rong, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Su Kai." Wen Xiuyuan put his arm around Su Kai's waist and introduced him to everyone.
"Your boyfriend?" Rong Xuan looked at Ling Zeyu in disbelief. Seeing her son nod, Rong Xuan finally lowered her guard against Su Kai.
Su Kai found the meal utterly unappetizing, but Wen Xiuyuan kept pulling him along to flaunt their affection. Even at the Ling family home, he dared not act recklessly.
He had many questions he wanted to ask Bai Yanfei, but he couldn't find the opportunity.
After the meal, Rong Xuan kept hinting to Ling Zeyu to take Bai Yanfei back to their room. Ling Zeyu also didn't want to see Su Kai and Wen Xiuyuan being affectionate; he felt there was something between them that he didn't know.
"Let's go back." For the first time ever, Ling Zeyu took Bai Yanfei's hand.
After returning, Ling Zeyu placed the makeup remover on the table. Bai Yanfei had been wearing makeup all afternoon, so it was time to remove it.
While Bai Yanfei was removing her makeup, Ling Zeyu went to take a shower. After he finished removing his makeup, he got his phone, turned it on, and saw dozens of missed calls, all from Su Kai.
Su Kai sent him many messages, which he read one by one, but he didn't know how to reply.
Bai Yanfei typed a few lines, then deleted them. He knew Su Kai cared about him, but this was a path he had chosen to walk, and there was no turning back.
He ultimately did not answer Su Kai's question. Instead, he inquired about his grandmother's condition. Su Kai said that his grandmother was fine, which reassured him considerably.
Ling Zeyu knocked on the bathroom door, and Bai Yanfei put his phone away.
"What's wrong, Brother Yu?"
"Come in."
Bai Yanfei took Ling Zeyu's pajamas and went inside, assuming that Ling Zeyu had forgotten to bring his pajamas and asked him to hand them in.
Ling Zeyu opened the door and slipped his pajamas inside. Before he could react, he was pulled inside.
"Why are you taking so long? Who are you replying to on your phone?"
"I asked my senior, I want to know how my grandma is doing lately."
"Why didn't you just ask me?" Ling Zeyu pressed Bai Yanfei against the wall. "I've been to see him these past few days, and the old man is fine."
"It's good that you're alright. I was just worried that something might have happened to Grandma..."
"I've hired the best doctors to treat her, so don't worry about her during this time. Don't go back to the villa yet, and don't go out either. Stay at the old house."
Okay. And... what about you?
"Me? I have to clean up the mess you left me. The company is a complete mess, and I only have time this afternoon."
Ling Zeyu was young and impetuous, and he had been so busy these past few days that he had no one to hug. Now that Bai Yanfei had finally returned, he naturally wouldn't let him off the hook.
The soft, moist lips landed on his body, and Bai Yanfei resignedly closed his eyes.
Isn't this exactly what he wanted? To make Ling Zeyu unable to leave him, even if he only lusts after his body.
Ling Zeyu wants to acquire Bai's Group, but he doesn't want Ling Zeyu to give Bai's Group to Bai Yifei. He needs to find a way to keep his shares.
Fortunately, Bai Zhenrong had already transferred the shares to him, and he was also one of Bai's shareholders.
"Brother Yu, I don't want to continue taking a break from school."
Ling Zeyu paused.
"no."
"I'll agree to anything you want, I just want to go back to school."
"Heh." Ling Zeyu smiled contemptuously. "Fine, I won't drop out of school, if you care about what others think."
"I have nothing to be afraid of."
Bai Yanfei opened his eyes and looked at Ling Zeyu. Ling Zeyu's eyes were full of lust and sparkling. He took the initiative to hook his arms around the other's neck.
It's just gossip; he's seen enough of it these past few days. He can't let this continue.
"Brother Yu, I love you—" Bai Yanfei wanted to kiss Ling Zeyu's lips, but Ling Zeyu turned his head away to avoid Bai Yanfei's action.
"Love? You are not worthy to utter that word."
Bai Yanfei pretended not to hear Ling Zeyu's words. He arbitrarily set himself on fire with Ling Zeyu. He knew every sensitive spot of Ling Zeyu and his preferences. He could serve Ling Zeyu comfortably.
As long as Ling Zeyu is willing to help him.
The fact that he is not Bai Yifei's biological brother will be exposed sooner or later, and he wants to get everything he wants in the shortest possible time.
If he weren't Bai Yifei's brother, then he wouldn't be of any use to Ling Zeyu.
Chapter 58 Does this make him seem unlike himself?
"Summer vacation is almost here, we'll arrange your school enrollment next semester."
"good."
Bai Yanfei also knew that he could not catch up on his missed lessons in a short period of time, and his current condition was not suitable for studying.
Ling Zeyu went to work as usual to deal with that pile of messy things. Because of the news of getting the marriage certificate, online opinions about him began to polarize.
These people are divided into three major factions.
Some people think that Ling Zeyu's actions are very manly, and that his image as a doting husband remains intact.
Furthermore, Ling Zeyu said he would pursue the matter and clear Bai Yanfei's name sooner or later.
Another group felt that Ling Zeyu's actions were disregarding the feelings of his fans, so they began to turn from fans to neutral or even to haters.
Another group remained neutral, focusing solely on appreciating Ling Zeyu's good looks and admiring his appearance. They paid no attention to or cared about the gossip and rumors surrounding him.
This incident also brought Bai Yanfei a lot of attention. In the past, Ling Zeyu kept Bai Yanfei out of the public eye, but this time Bai Yanfei was completely exposed to the public.
The buzz is even greater than when they got engaged.
People love gossip, especially fans of the entertainment industry.
Rong Xuan had originally planned to go on a trip, but she promised Ling Zeyu that she would not leave home again in the near future.
Now that Bai Yanfei can't go out, Rong Xuan comes to chat with him every day.
"Tomorrow we're going to the resort. It's our own place, so there won't be anyone there."
Bai Yanfei shook his head: "I'd better stay at home. Auntie is having fun."
Rong Xuan let out a long sigh.
"Why are you still calling me 'Auntie' now? Shouldn't you change how you address me?"
Bai Yanfei was stunned for a long time. It wasn't that he hadn't thought about this question, but it seemed that no one in the Ling family liked him, except for Rong Xuanke.
"mom."
"That's a good girl. It's settled then. I just talked to Xiaoyu, and he said if you want to go, then go. I've been feeling cooped up at home anyway, so you can keep me company."
"What about Dad? Isn't he going?"
Once you've said it the first time, it's not so hard to say it the second time. Rong Xuan pouted and said, "Don't worry about him, and don't mention him in front of me again."
"Brother Yu doesn't want to see you like this."
"Then I don't want to see the two of you like this either."
Bai Yanfei was speechless. It turned out that Rong Xuan could also see the subtle atmosphere between him and Ling Zeyu.
He thought that he and Ling Zeyu had hidden it well.
"Mom, you've misunderstood."
Bai Yanfei tried to salvage his image, saying that the person Ling Zeyu cared about most was Rong Xuanke.
Seeing Bai Yanfei's anxious look, Rong Xuan sighed.
"Poor child."
That evening, Rong Xuanke suggested it to Ling Zeyu, and Ling Zeyu had no objection. He was not in the mood to worry about Bai Yanfei right now, and Rong Xuanke also wanted to go out and clear her head. Since she wanted to go with Bai Yanfei, then the two of them could go together.
"Have you finished dealing with company matters?"
"That's about it."
"Go out with Mom tomorrow and keep her company."
"good."
Bai Yanfei would not disobey Ling Zeyu, but he would not be as compliant as before.
"When can I go to the hospital to see my grandma? I'm worried about her."
"Wait a while longer. If you show up in front of them now, you'll be attacked online, and I'd rather not get hurt than deal with the trouble."
Bai Yanfei looked at Ling Zeyu's indifferent expression. He knew that this matter had created a distance between Ling Zeyu and him, but he did not want to give up just like that.
He had finally managed to get Ling Zeyu to look at him properly, how could he give up over such a small matter?
"I have news about Xiaofei."
Ling Zeyu paused in his turning motion.
Bai Yanfei realized that Ling Zeyu wanted to leave. He knew that once Ling Zeyu left this room, he wouldn't be coming back tonight.
Maybe we won't be sleeping in the same bed anymore.
"Where did you get the news about Xiaofei?"
"Do you think I'll still believe you after you've fooled me like this time and time again?"
Ling Zeyu pinched Bai Yanfei's face. His face wasn't exactly fat before, but it still had some flesh. Now, however, it was completely devoid of flesh.
"You look awful! When are you going to gain weight?"
