Chapter 42: As if They Were Having an Affair
“Bai Hao, Mr. Fu has returned home.”
One of his subordinates knocked on the door at that time.
‘What? Pei Siyan has returned home?’
Panic conquered Bai Hao instantly; he immediately pulled the blanket over and wrapped himself up. He moved his sore legs toward the door, cracked open it and then asked impatiently, “Is he in the mansion now?”
Surprised by the messy and tired look of Bai Hao, the subordinate stunned for a second and he even saw two clear hickeys on his neck.
“Hello? I was asking you a question.”
“Oh! Yeah… he is downstairs now. He just came back.”
The subordinate replied as soon as he came back to his senses. Then he let out a breath to the side diffidently.
‘So the rumor of a man hiding in Bai Hao’s room is real! He looks like he has just ‘finished the business’. Well, what else could they possibly do in the middle of the night anyway?’
“Okay, I got it. You can head back downstairs.”
Bai Hao shut the door in haste. When he turned around, he yelled in a low volume at Hei Ming who was still lying there leisurely, “Are you crazy or something? Didn’t you hear what he just said? Pei Siyan is back!”
“And?”
Hei Ming was calm and didn’t panic at all.
“And? What and? Fine, you can stay here if you wanna get yourself killed! I don’t care anyway.”
Bai Hao rushed into the bathroom; he was going to take a shower and welcome Pei Siyan home.
Hei Ming was upset about that. Bai Hao was just gasping beneath him while now he was pushing him away right after knowing Pei Siyan had returned. He acted as if they were having an affair.
“I wanna see what he can do with me.” Hei Ming took out a cigarette and smoked it while leaning against the headboard indifferently. He was not planning to leave.
At the same time downstairs, subordinates were already welcoming the return of Pei Siyan.
“Where is Bai Hao?” Pei Siyan asked while changing his shoes.
Because usually, Bai Hao would be the one to welcome him.
One of the subordinates replied in a haste, “He should be resting now.”
“Resting? Now?”
Pei Siyan glanced at his watch-it was nine-thirty. ‘How could a night owl like Bai Hao go to bed that early?’
The subordinate hesitated for a second; he was planning to tell Pei Siyan that Bai Hao was hiding a man in his room, but he gave up the idea shortly after.
“Oh, by the way, how is that little thing doing? Is he okay?” Asking about the Jiang Sheng, Pei Siyan furrowed his brow.
“Jiang Xiao has been well-behaving; he didn’t cry or be naughty. Neither did he attempt to commit suicide.” The subordinate reported quickly.
Pei Siyan raised his eyebrows, “Oh? He stopped attempting to commit suicide after I left?”
Replying with all respect, the man said, “Yes, and not only so, but he was eating like a horse. He is now nothing like the timid Jiang Xiao before.”
A gentle smile showed on Pei Siyan’s face; he murmured to himself, “Oh, that’s interesting. Did he finally make up his mind and decided to give birth to my son obediently?”
“Then where is he now?”
“He is now in your room.”
“In my room? So he has never returned to his room? Not even once?” Pei Siyan was a bit shock by what he had just heard. Because every time he called Jiang Sheng, he hung up the call with anger and his tone was not nice. But still, Jiang Sheng was now still living in his room.
“Yes, he has never returned to his own room.”
“Okay, I get that. You can leave now.”
The smile grew a bit bigger on Pei Siyan’s face; he was clearly in a good mood.
“Will do.”
The fact was that Jiang Sheng didn’t know he had a room of his own. He thought the room where he woke up was his room and that was why he was always living in there.
‘That’s weird. Mr. Fu looks like he is in a good mood today?”
Glancing at the smile on Pei Siyan’s face, the subordinate was a bit confused.
He hadn’t seen Pei Siyan smiling for a long time, ever since Mrs. Fu had passed away.
