Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Picking Her Up at Noon
Near noon, Bai Chenyao’s call came in.
"Come out!"
Gu Tiantian responded with an "Oh" and was about to hang up.
"Don’t hang up!"
Gu Tiantian said "Oh" again, fine, she wouldn’t hang up.
But after waiting for a while, there was no further word from Bai Chenyao. Gu Tiantian frowned and glanced at her phone, which was still in call mode.
"A Yao, isn’t this a waste of phone bill?"
Not speaking but also not allowing her to hang up, how... troublesome!
"Then why aren’t you speaking?"
Tsk!
How could he blame this on her?
Gu Tiantian couldn’t help rolling her eyes, staring at the phone, and grinding her back teeth in frustration.
"Talking to myself, like some kind of lunatic!"
On the other side of the call, Bai Chenyao’s deep, rich voice came through.
"How would you know I wouldn’t talk to you if you don’t speak?"
Gu Tiantian took a deep breath, even forgetting to walk.
"A Yao, are you playing spot the difference today?"
Actually, she wanted to say, damn, was he doing this on purpose?
But fearing she’d upset Bai Chenyao, she rephrased it.
"Do I need to?"
The deep, rich voice carried a hint of disdain.
Gu Tiantian almost knelt down, took another deep breath, and before she could speak, she heard Bai Chenyao’s deep voice again.
"Standing there like a tree stump?"
"Ahem..."
Gu Tiantian was choked by his words, clutching her chest and coughing.
"Stupid!"
The cold, stern voice from Bai Chenyao revealed his displeasure.
Gu Tiantian was even more frustrated, wishing she could just curse back.
But she was choked up, coughing uncontrollably, unable to form words.
It took her a while to recover.
Seeing the call hadn’t ended, Gu Tiantian felt conflicted all over again.
This guy wasting phone bills is really too much!
Almost jogging all the way to the school gate, she saw the familiar black car, glanced around to see no one was there, and quickly ran over.
In a flash, she slipped into the car.
Li Mu, who was about to open the door for her, stood aside a bit dumbfounded.
It wasn’t until Gu Tiantian knocked on the car window from inside that he snapped out of it.
His expressionless face twitched slightly at the corners of his mouth.
He quickly walked over to the driver’s side, got in, and drove off.
Once in the car, Gu Tiantian found herself sitting on Bai Chenyao’s lap.
Although Gu Tiantian felt uncomfortable, she knew nothing could be done about it, so she just frowned and said nothing, nor did she try to get away.
"A Yao, why are you here?"
Bai Chenyao toyed with her white and tender fingers and spoke casually.
"To pick you up for lunch!"
Tsk!
Gu Tiantian’s little heart skipped a beat.
She kept feeling that Bai Chenyao recently was becoming less like Bai Chenyao.
Though feeling both surprised and flattered, Gu Tiantian tried hard to control her facial expressions, blinked, and turned her head to meet Bai Chenyao’s deep, dark eyes.
"A Yao, your company should have a lot going on, you must be very busy, right?"
Bai Chenyao nodded, his voice low and pleasant.
"One must eat just like they would need iron."
As for the rest of the saying about getting hungry when skipping meals, Bai Chenyao didn’t say it, but Gu Tiantian filled it in herself.
How did she not see that Bai Chenyao could be someone who would let work slide just for a meal?
By all accounts, Bai Chenyao was an elite among elites.
As if knowing what she was thinking, Bai Chenyao toyed with her fingers, using a bit more force, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Do you really think such a small matter is worth me wasting time meant for eating?"
