The Scheming Ex-Husband's Courtship

Chapter 465 - 414: Goodbye, Unrequited Love Days

Bai Chengxi didn’t leave the Zhuo Family after dinner until Yuqing had walked him to the gate."I’m going back to Aus City tomorrow." Bai Chengxi didn’t rush to leave. Instead, he stood under the streetlight talking to her. Seeing her wearing a padded jacket and wrapped up like a bear, he couldn’t help but laugh: "Is it that cold?"

"This is A City, not Aus City." Yuqing gently exhaled, and immediately a puff of white vapor formed in the air, "We can enjoy the snowy scenery here, unlike in Aus City where it doesn’t snow."

"I haven’t seen snow many times, actually."

"Then, when it snows in A City, I’ll take you to the lake to see the snowy landscape. It’s really beautiful."

"Okay." Bai Chengxi took her hand and held it in his palm, "Will you come with me tomorrow?"

Yuqing felt a bit troubled. She really wanted to go back with him, but she had promised her family and didn’t want to break her word.

"No, I’m going back on the seventh day, and I’ve already booked the flight."

"Mm, alright. It’s rare to go home, spend more time with your parents." Bai Chengxi tightened her padded jacket’s collar for her and gently patted her red, frostbitten cheeks, "I’ll give you a call when I arrive."

"Be careful on the road."

"Goodbye."

Yuqing stood there and watched his car pull away, noticing his assistant at the wheel. Did he specifically bring his assistant over from Aus City just to prepare a gift for her father?

A warm feeling suddenly welled up in the depths of Yuqing’s eyes. She waved vigorously at him. In order to gain her father’s approval, he really had made a lot of effort. She felt that it was her fault, causing him so much trouble for no reason.

Yuqing returned home to find Zhuo Yao and Qiao San watching TV in the living room.

"Qingzi, come here." Qiao San waved at her.

Yuqing obediently walked over and sat down beside Zhuo Yao, hugging his arm and acting coquettishly: "Dad, what do you think about Bai Chengxi?"

Zhuo Yao kept his eyes on the TV, not glancing away, only looking over when he heard her question: "Requires further observation."

Upon hearing Zhuo Yao’s remarks, Qiao San was over the moon. Although it wasn’t an outright acknowledgment of Bai Chengxi, the fact that Zhuo Yao said this much was a sign that he wasn’t opposed to him anymore. Yuqing didn’t know how Chengxi had managed to gain approval, but all she wanted to say now was: Impressive.

Actually, Bai Chengxi didn’t use any kind of schemes; it was half sincerity and heart, and half fated destiny. Some things just naturally fall into place.

Yuqing went back to her room to take a bath, and upon getting out, she eagerly checked her phone for messages. It was quiet, meaning he hadn’t reached the hotel yet.

"Qingzi, your brother is here," Qiao San’s voice suddenly sounded from outside. On hearing this, Yuqing immediately put down her phone and ran out, calling from afar, "Brother!"

Tang Tianyou had just entered the door, his coat still on, and looked up, "Don’t run, beware of slipping."

Yuqing wouldn’t listen to him, dashing down the stairs: "When did you come back?" for those little stars she had folded, filling half a glass jar already.

Clutching the jar, a flood of memories came to mind, but in the end, what settled in her thoughts was Bai Chengxi’s face.

She took the opportunity when her family wasn’t paying attention to sneak to the hill behind the house with the jar and quietly dug a hole to bury it.

Goodbye, her first love. Goodbye, the days of her secret crush.
