Join the ServerThe smile on Xu Qingyun’s face froze instantly.
Dark clouds gathered in his eyes.
“Old Xu, our family’s sky has fallen!
Our precious little cabbage has been stolen by some random pig!
Baobao said she’s dating someone now. Our perfect future son-in-law is finished!
Waaah…”
Gu Qing sniffled miserably.
“And then she hung up on me!
Do you think she’s feeling guilty?
What if the boyfriend she found is ugly?”
Xu Qingyun hurriedly comforted her.
“Honey, don’t panic.
She’s only dating someone.
Xiaobai still has a chance.”
“Our Baobao is still young. She probably doesn’t even know what love really is.”
“Leave this to me.”
“I’ll investigate everything.”
“I absolutely won’t let our Baobao suffer.”
“No matter what pig showed up, it doesn’t get to steal our precious little cabbage.”
After hanging up, he immediately packed up and rushed home.
His beloved wife needed comforting.
Qingcheng Apartment
Xu Sui’an stared blankly at the black screen of her phone and blinked.
“Why did it have to die right now?”
She put the phone down and went to get the charger.
As it charged, worry slowly crept onto her face.
Mom couldn’t have misunderstood me… could she?
At that moment, the apartment door opened.
Shi Yubai walked in carrying a smile.
“Suisui.”
“I brought your favorite blueberry cake.”
“Xiaobai, you’re the best!”
Xu Sui’an happily enjoyed the cake, feeling as though she’d forgotten something important.
After thinking for a few seconds…
She gave up.
Forget it.
Nothing is more important than delicious food.
Shi Yubai chuckled indulgently.
Just then, his phone rang.
The caller ID flashed:
Future Father-in-Law
He quietly walked onto the balcony so he wouldn’t disturb Xu Sui’an, who was happily eating cake while watching The Adventures of Little Carp.
“Hello, Uncle Xu.”
“Xiaobai…”
Xu Qingyun sounded unusually nervous.
“How are things between you and Baobao now?”
“Everything’s great between Suisui and me.”
Shi Yubai secretly glanced toward Xu Sui’an, who was smiling brightly at the television.
“Xiaobai, you don’t have to hide it from me.”
“You know your Aunt Qing and I have always hoped you’d end up with Baobao.”
“It’s just a pity our daughter has terrible eyesight.”
“She can’t see how wonderful you are.”
“So tell Uncle…”
“Who exactly is she dating?”
“What’s he look like?”
“What’s his personality?”
“How did he trick our Baobao into dating him?”
“And you…”
“How could you just stand by and let her date someone?”
Every word was filled with worry.
His daughter had been spoiled rotten.
She simply didn’t know how dangerous people’s hearts could be.
Shi Yubai was someone he’d watched grow up.
His character was impeccable.
His temperament was excellent.
Most importantly…
From childhood until now, he had always treated Baobao with unwavering devotion.
He and his wife had long considered him the perfect son-in-law.
What a pity…
Our silly daughter just wouldn’t wake up.
She even rejected Shi Yubai.
What a headache.
The more Shi Yubai listened, the more confused he became.
Something wasn’t adding up.
“Uncle Xu…”
“I think you and Aunt Qing have misunderstood something.”
“Suisui is indeed dating…”
Before he could finish—
Xu Qingyun interrupted him.
“She really has a boyfriend?”
“Xiaobai, send Uncle all that brat’s information.”
“Your Aunt Qing and I only acknowledge you as our son-in-law.”
“Baobao has clung to you since she was little.”
“She likes you.”
“She’s just emotionally slow, exactly like Aunt Qing.”
“Here’s what you do.”
“Starting today, block Baobao everywhere.”
“If she comes looking for you, pretend you don’t see her.”
“In a few days she’ll realize where her heart truly belongs.”
“I refuse to believe anyone could treat Baobao better than you.”
Shi Yubai felt warmth spread through his heart.
Uncle Xu truly had his best interests at heart.
He smiled helplessly.
“Uncle Xu…
Suisui is dating me.”
“Xiaobai, listen to Uncle. Just ignore her for a few days and she’ll…”
Xu Qingyun suddenly stopped.
“…What did you just say?”
“Baobao is dating… you?”
His voice rose in disbelief.
Shi Yubai could practically picture him jumping to his feet.
A smile spread across Shi Yubai’s lips.
“Yes.”
“Suisui and I are together.”
“We’re dating.”
“And we’re living together in the apartment I prepared long ago.”
“Good!
Wonderful!
That’s fantastic!”
Xu Qingyun’s voice instantly became excited.
“Well…”
“Xiaobai…”
“Even though you are the son-in-law your Aunt Qing and I have always wanted…”
“You two are still young.”
“You absolutely mustn’t do anything reckless.”
“Especially you—you can’t indulge her.”
“When you have time, come home together.”
“We’ll get you two engaged first.”
“Once you graduate, you can register your marriage immediately!”
“Understood, Uncle Xu.”
After hanging up, Shi Yubai’s heart was burning with joy.
He had always known Uncle Xu and Aunt Qing approved of him.
But hearing it confirmed still made him indescribably happy.
“Xiaobai.”
Xu Sui’an had already finished charging her phone and turned off the television.
Shi Yubai walked over and naturally pulled her into his arms, gently rubbing his chin against her forehead.
“Suisui…”
“What exactly did you tell Aunt Qing?”
“She thought you were dating someone else.”
Xu Sui’an wrapped her arms around his neck, looking utterly innocent.
“I really didn’t mean to.”
“Mom called me.”
“I had just gotten to the part where I said I was dating someone…”
“Then she started bombarding me with questions.”
“I didn’t even get the chance to tell her that the boyfriend was you before my phone died.”
Shi Yubai lowered his head and kissed her lips.
Once.
Then again.
And again.
“Suisui…”
“My future father-in-law just called.”
“He asked us to go home together sometime.”
“He wants us to get engaged first…”
“…and register our marriage after graduation.”
“What do you think?”
“If you don’t want to…”
“I can wait.”
Xu Sui’an reached up and pinched his cheek.
“Xiaobai…”
“If your eyes weren’t overflowing with grievance…”
“I might actually believe you could wait.”
Shi Yubai smiled mischievously.
“I want to marry you sooner.”
“I’m afraid that if we wait too long…”
“…you won’t be able to resist pouncing on me.”
As he spoke, he gently nibbled on her lips.
Xu Sui’an instantly bristled.
“What do you mean I’m the one who won’t be able to resist?”
With a playful growl, she grabbed his hand and lightly bit the tip of one finger before teasingly licking it.
Her mischievous fingers slid upward, tracing lightly over his Adam’s apple…
…then slowly downward.
“Don’t tease me…”
Shi Yubai’s voice instantly turned hoarse.
Tiny flames danced in his eyes.
Xu Sui’an suddenly realized something.
Her eyes widened.
She immediately became as obedient as a little quail, nestling motionlessly in his arms.
Shi Yubai suppressed the fire burning inside him.
Lowering his head, he kissed her again.
If he couldn’t have the delicious dessert…
At least tasting it offered some consolation.
Sweet torture though it was…
He couldn’t bear to pull away.
“Suisui…”
He whispered beside her ear before gently nibbling her earlobe.
“I’m afraid that if I wait too long…”
“I’ll be the one who can’t resist pinning you down.”
The girl he loved was in his arms.
If he felt absolutely nothing…
Then there was only one explanation.
He wasn’t a man.
Xu Sui’an’s breathing grew uneven.
“I never said…”
“…you weren’t allowed to.”
Shi Yubai’s heart instantly softened into a puddle.
His girl trusted him so completely.
“Suisui…”
“I love you so much.”
“But you’re still young.”
“We can’t cross that line.”
“I already promised Uncle Xu.”
“You don’t want my dad and your dad giving me a double beating together, do you?”
Xu Sui’an affectionately rubbed the tip of her nose against his.
“Brother Xiaobai…”
“Did you forget?”
“You’re only three months older than me.”
The moment he heard her call him Brother Xiaobai, fireworks exploded inside Shi Yubai’s head.
Unable to help himself, he hugged her even tighter.
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, showering it with soft kisses.
Just then—
A phone rang.
The pink, romantic atmosphere instantly vanished.
Shi Yubai glanced at the screen.
The caller ID read:
Ruan Qingyang
Xu Sui’an saw it too.
She poked Shi Yubai with one finger before holding out her hand expectantly.
Shi Yubai smiled indulgently.
Without hesitation, he placed his phone into her waiting palm.
