Chapter 258: Say Yes (1)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
An Xixi’s reaction basically confirmed Qin Li was behind the scene, Di Qiuhe and Xing Shaofeng shook their heads.
Di Qiuhe decided not to question her intensely now that he had got an answer, he left the room and asked Wang Boyi who was much more calm and collected than before to come in and communicate with An Xixi in private.
He didn’t say anything to Wang Boyi, he just thought it was her choice to make about whether to tell the truth or not when she was faced with the person she loved, but he did hope An Xixi could take the outcome once she made a choice.
Xing Shaofeng asked Di Qiuhe, “Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman, aren’t you worried that Wang Boyi might become a turncoat?”
“No.” Di Qiuhe shook his head and straightened his shirt, “Wang Boyi used to work for Di Bian I know that, but he has been working for me for a little while now, he is very capable and reliable, An Xixi, a fence sitter, doesn’t stand a chance in front of him.”
Xing Shaofeng smiled when he heard “a fence sitter”, yep, he was sure Wang Boyi knew better than that and he would make the right choice.
It looked like An Xixi was on Di Qiuhe’s blacklist now, for he had always been gentle and polite to people, he rarely gave his employees negative comments. But An Xixi totally deserved that, it was she who had took Di Qiuhe’s phone away and He Bai couldn’t reach Di Qiuhe in time. Di Qiuhe would never forgive her just because of that, he couldn’t imagine how worried his puppy was.
Sigh, the love birds… …
“Are my new outfits here yet?” asked Di Qiuhe in low spirits, “I’m afraid I will have to miss the ceremony if I don’t have a clean outfit.”
Xing Shaofeng saw him through and smiled, he put on a meaningful smile and replied, “Don’t you worry about the outfits, I guarantee you they will be here any minute now. Don’t even think about not attending the ceremony using that lame excuse, trust me, He Bai wouldn’t appreciate it if you skip such an important ceremony due to him, it’s your big night tonight.”
Di Qiuhe’s face darkened and he replied in a deep voice, “No, it’s not important without Bai, it would just be another ceremony to attend without Bai enjoying and sharing my moment with me.” with that he opened his bedroom door and walked in.
Seeing that, Xing Shaofeng shook his head and dialed He Bai’s number, “Bai, your Childish Di is not in a good mood now… …”
In Fan Mansion.
He Bai spoke to Xing Shaofeng on the phone and knew what happened, he checked the time, thought about when the ceremony started and did some math… …
The thing was he was still having a fever, he touched his forehead and frowned.
“Here, take the meds, if the fever is still not getting any better we need to go to the hospital.” the GP handed him some meds and a glass of warm water, “Do not go outside recently, drink plenty of warm water, what you need is good rest.”
Hu Zhao cared for He Bai so much that he didn’t have the heart to see He Bai suffered fever over and over again, he asked the servant to cook some soup for He Bai and he murmured, “Qiuhe is still too young after all, he should have asked me or someone else to go to your house to keep you company at least, if you are home alone and the fever has gone worse, who would be there to take care of you?”
“It’s not his fault.” He Bai took the meds and explained, “The bodyguards are home with me, but I’m a very light sleeper so I asked them to leave. Qiuhe called Auntie Xu last night to go to ours and cook me some soup, so I won’t be alone. I didn’t change my pajamas after inducing perspiration last night, hence my fever has gone worse. It’s not Qiuhe’s fault.”
Hu Zhao didn’t buy that, he found it cute the way Bai defended Qiuhe, “But you got sick because of him in the first place, and thanks to you today, An Xixi was caught red handed. Who knows what’s gonna happen if Qin Li’s plan really works out, she would know the whereabouts of Qiuhe all the time… … anyways, come directly to this house if you are not feeling great next time.”
“Qiuhe asked me to come here already, but I feel bad coming here when I’m sick… …” He Bai continued to defend Qiuhe.
Hu Zhao was choked and he was stuffed with some dog food.
Fan Da who was sitting quietly on the sofa looked very serious, he couldn’t even imagine what would happen to his grandson if not for Bai. His eyes turned dimmed and his fingers kept swiping on the screen.
He Bai tossed and turned on the bed and couldn’t fall asleep, he was still worried about Di Qiuhe.
He closed his eyes and forced himself to get sleep, but it was of no avail. He decided to text Qiuhe to check on him, but he accidentally clicked open Weibo.
Then thousands of PM notifications popped out, his phone froze. He clicked the screen several times, it was still not working. He Bai was frustrated and a video started to play automatically when he was about to turn off the phone… …
It was an interview of Qiuhe’s.
“Mr. Di, can you please tell us who is the ‘him’ that you kept mentioning in your speeches? Is it Photographer He Bai?”
He Bai’s heart was pounding on hearing this question.
While Di Qiuhe was smiling this whole time, he looked at the reporter who asked him this question and replied, “Of course it’s He Bai, I need to kiss his ass to make sure he still cooperates with me for my next photo shoot, I need to look good.”
He Bai beamed, this Childish Di, a smooth talker as always.
