Chapter 770 The Gift They Gave You
An Xia suddenly remembered that she was so focused on Bai Jingshu that she didn't even think about the money
when she left yesterday.
The other reason she didn't take the money was that Bai Jingshu had won too much money from the game, and
since the other players were all friends of Bai Jingshu, An Xia felt embarrassed to take the money.
Bai Jingshu took the bag and said to Lu Qinghan, "Alright, you can leave now."
An Xia glared at Bai Jingshu and held Lu Qinghan's arm. "Come in and have a seat. It's early. You haven't had
breakfast yet, right?"
"Nope!" Lu Qinghan completely ignored the warning look from Bai Jingshu and smiled obediently.
Using the word "obedient" might not be appropriate, but at this moment, Lu Qinghan felt obedient to An Xia.
"We were just about to eat. You should join us if you don't mind."
Hearing that, Lu Qinghan immediately agreed. "Sure!"
An Xia had only made breakfast for two people before, but now that Lu Qinghan had come, she had to make an
extra portion in the kitchen.
Fortunately, breakfast was simple. She fried some bacon and eggs and made a small pizza.
When she brought these things to Lu Qinghan, she asked him, "Do you want milk or juice?"
Lu Qinghan was also tactful and knew that preparing juice would be a bit troublesome, so he replied, "Milk, please."
Bai Jingshu, who was beside them, was unhappy.
Why didn't An Xia ask him if he wanted milk or juice?!
This breakfast went on as tension quietly brewed.
However, Lu Qinghan was satisfied.
After being kicked out of his house, he had been eating out all the time. His friends never invited him to their homes
for a meal, and he didn't go to just anyone's house to freeload.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBai Jingshu was like a real brother to him. Although he was a few years older, they had a good relationship. He felt
comfortable freeloading at Bai Jingshu's house.
After he finished the breakfast on his plate, he enthusiastically praised, "An Xia, your cooking skills are amazing."
An Xia laughed. She knew her own cooking skills very well. Occasionally, she could perform exceptionally, but they
were not particularly good. They were just ordinary in taste.
She smiled and said, "The one with good cooking skills is a friend of Jingshu's surnamed Qin."
Mr. Qin's cooking is what I would call unforgettable.
She had always been puzzled why a man who was a company president would have such good cooking skills.
She figured it out later. After all, he was Qin Muchen, a god-like man. What could be difficult for him?
"Surnamed Qin? The President of LK Group?"
Surprisingly, Lu Qinghan knew who she was talking about.
The two of them happily chatted about Qin Muchen for a while.
After having breakfast and talking with An Xia, Lu Qinghan left contentedly.
When An Xia was cleaning up the tableware, she noticed that Bai Jingshu's face was as cold as ice.
She knew what he was unhappy about, but she had to ignore him for a while.
Why is a whole adult like him so petty?
Lu Qinghan only came to have breakfast.
And I only praised Mr. Qin's cooking skills.
What was there to be upset about? Petty man.
After cleaning up the kitchen, An Xia felt that she had ignored Bai Jingshu for long enough and it was time to pay
attention to him.
Bai Jingshu sat on the couch in the living room, constantly changing channels with the remote control.
An Xia walked over, picked up the bag of money that Lu Qinghan had brought and put it on the coffee table in front
of Bai Jingshu, then sat down opposite him.
She pointed to the bag of money and asked, "What should we do with this money?"
The man who had been ignored by An Xia for some time was upset. He didn't want to pay attention to her at first,
but he couldn't help replying to her, albeit unkindly. "I won it, so naturally it belongs to our family!"
"But it's not good to take so much money from your friends." An Xia felt conflicted.
"Do you think those brats are bad at card games?" Bai Jingshu looked at her as if she were an idiot. "They
deliberately let me win. This money is their gift to you."
An Xia was stunned by what she heard. Bai Jingshu's circle of friends seemed strange the more she got to know
them.
Despite being a group of rugged men, they were surprisingly thoughtful when it came to doing things like this.
An Xia smiled. "I see."
"No need to hold back. Just spend it as you like. When we have our wedding, they will have to pay even more." Bai
Jingshu had an evil smile on his face when he said that. An Xia couldn't tell what he was thinking.
However, she was slightly taken aback. Wedding?
Embarrassed, she lowered her gaze, lightly tugging at her earlobe while letting out a soft "Oh."
This much money wasn't a big deal to keep at home, so the two of them decided to deposit it.
After depositing the money, Bai Jingshu insisted on buying clothes for An Xia.
In his words, they had to buy new clothes for the wedding.
An Xia felt helpless. She felt that Bai Jingshu cared more about these things than she, a woman, did.
Is he secretly a woman?
After buying a lot of new clothes and bags, the two of them drove back home.
Seeing that An Xia wasn't overly excited, Bai Jingshu turned the other way and awkwardly mentioned, "I'm just
afraid of making you feel uncomfortable."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHis voice was a bit low. Hearing that, An Xia asked him to repeat his words as she didn't hear him clearly.
"It's nothing." Since she didn't hear it, he didn't want to say it again. He didn't want to lose his dignity as a man.
An Xia quietly guessed what he said for a while, but she could only vaguely guess the sentence "I... you." She
couldn't figure it out and didn't want to think about it anymore.
When they arrived downstairs at the apartment and parked the car, both of them had a change of expression when
they saw the open door of the apartment and several robust bodyguards standing by the door.
Those were not ordinary bodyguards; they were clearly guards ready to make a move at any moment.
Bai Jingshu freed up one hand to hold her. "It's okay," he reassured her.
An Xia nodded and followed him inside.
As soon as they entered, they saw Bai Mingxu sitting on the couch.
Bai Mingxu was still wearing a suit as he sat upright on the couch, his expression serious.
An Xia instinctively wanted to let go of Bai Jingshu's hand, but Bai Jingshu noticed her intention. Instead of letting go
as she wished, he held her hand even tighter.
He casually tossed the bags he was holding to the side and led An Xia to sit across from Bai Mingxu. Looking at Bai
Mingxu with a cold expression, he mocked, "General Bai, isn't it illegal for you to break into someone's home?"
Bai Mingxu's gaze fell on the couple's intertwined hands. His sharp gaze then landed on An Xia before moving away.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, An Xia could only endure it.
"Who told you that I broke into your home?" Bai Mingxu's expression was solemn, and his voice was loud. Instead of
talking to his son, he sounded like he was reprimanding his soldier.
An Xia was shocked. Did Lu Qinghan ask him to come?
However, she soon understood what was going on.
Those who were older would always be more experienced and knowledgeable. Even though people like Bai Jingshu
were capable to a certain extent, in the eyes of the older generation like Bai Mingxu, they were just kids.
