Chapter 788: Chapter 779: Open and Secret Struggles (1) Chapter 788: Chapter 779: Open and Secret Struggles (1) She heard slightly heavy breathing on the other end, and then Qin Baizhou’s voice sharpened a bit, “Is that so? I see. Her life is arranged quite well. Since that’s the case, I might as well go pick her up myself. Didn’t you say she’s ‘not feeling well’?”
Qin Baizhou said this with a laugh, but no matter how one listened, there was a trace of indignation in his voice. Wei Jingjing dared not disobey and cowered.
“Also, don’t tell her I’m coming.”
Wei Jingjing’s fingers, just about to send a message to Xia Siyu, retracted instantly upon his words.
Arriving at the airport, Qin Baizhou sat in the back seat and waited. Soon enough, he heard Xia Siyu calling Wei Jingjing to confirm her location. After a while, true to form, Wei Jingjing saw Xia Siyu arriving cheerfully, hopping along—and pulling a man by the hand, Bo Yan.
In that instant, Wei Jingjing’s complexion turned very colorful. She sneaked a peek at the back seat, where Qin Baizhou had his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to the current situation.
Outside, Xia Siyu was especially happy, looking like she had successfully lured a decent man over.
Afterwards, it would probably be a huge battlefield, right?
Wei Jingjing wanted to warn Xia Siyu but feared Qin Baizhou’s scolding. She could only communicate with her eyes, desperately signaling that someone was in the back seat.
Completely clueless, Xia Siyu thought Wei Jingjing had missed her terribly after a few days apart. She flung open the car door with a big smile, “I’m back! Look, I’ve even brought someone with me!”
Wei Jingjing turned as pale as death, while Little Tang driving was silent as a cicada in cold weather.
And Qin Baizhou in the back seat slowly opened his eyes, making direct eye contact with Xia Siyu and Bo Yan.
Bo Yan, of course, reacted quicker than Xia Siyu. Even before she opened the car door, he had vaguely seen someone in the back seat. But the car windows were specially treated and he couldn’t see clearly. However, once the door was opened, he had a faint guess of who the newcomer was from Wei Jingjing’s expression, so he wasn’t surprised.
At that moment, it was Qin Baizhou who slightly furrowed his brow, his gaze sharp as he stared at him.
Seeing Qin Baizhou, Xia Siyu, although she knew about Qin Baizhou’s feelings for her and had kept a slight distance, was naturally forthright. And since she had already reported her relationship with Bo Yan to the company, she didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. Stunned for just a moment upon seeing Qin Baizhou, she greeted him graciously, “Qin, you’re here too?”
Qin Baizhou’s gaze shifted to her and a smile spread across his face, his voice growing warmer, “Came to see you.”
Then with the smile unchanged, his voice cooled a few degrees, “Long time no see, Teacher Bo.”
“Mr. Qin,” Bo Yan nodded in response, his expression calm. But now there was an issue—the car was just an ordinary sedan. Qin Baizhou hadn’t let Wei Jingjing tip her off, and Xia Siyu wanted to surprise them, so she hadn’t told her about Bo Yan’s arrival. Thus, she and Little Tang hadn’t arranged for a bigger car.
Although the back seat could theoretically fit three people. But Bo Yan, Xia Siyu, and Qin Baizhou—squishing these three together?
Bo Yan paused for a moment before opening the car door first and sitting in the middle. What he said was, “It’s uncomfortable in the middle; of course, it’s better for a girl to sit by the window.” In reality, he just didn’t want Qin Baizhou to sit next to Xia Siyu, even if it was just for a car ride.
He then asked, “Mr. Qin doesn’t mind, right?”
