CHAPTER 946: CHAPTER 90: GOOD BOY BAI JI

Chapter 90

Yan Yuan paused her steps, looking through the window at the blue sky outside.

Think about it? How could I not think about it.

But what’s the use? Twenty years in the Mortal World is only twenty days up there.

Without a hundred years, how could mom and dad realize she’s missing!

Wuwuwu...

Whenever Yan Yuan thought about this, she felt a pang of sorrow.

Since she was born, she knew that dad could go years without seeing her, but couldn’t go a day without seeing mommy.

Awooo!

She felt so pitiful, no one was looking for her.

Thinking this, Yan Yuan felt tears streaming inside, and she turned back to Bai Chenxi, "I don’t want to!"

She didn’t want to think about it; she’s doing just fine on her own right now, and will live even better in the future.

Bai Chenxi saw her stubbornness, but her tear-glazed eyes betrayed her despite her words.

He walked over, gently patted Yan Yuan’s head, "Alright, if anything happens in the future, just tell me. I’ll help you."

Yan Yuan enjoyed his concern, feeling warm inside, at least now someone cared about her.

She vowed to be nicer to Bai Chenxi in the future.

"Bai Chenxi, you’re really nice!" Yan Yuan recalled the days after meeting Bai Chenxi; although at first, he skeptically doubted her.

But now, he’s genuinely nice to her.

She decided to give him a reluctant kiss as a return.

Bai Chenxi had intended to comfort Yan Yuan further, but suddenly the girl in front of him lifted her head and kissed his left cheek.

Her soft lips were slightly cool, like a flash of lightning striking his face, instantly making him stiff, his heart pounding.

Seeing him frozen, Yan Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Such a wimp!"

She then turned and left.

Bai Chenxi covered half of his cheek, wondering if he was dreaming.

Does this kind of contact mean the distance between him and Yan Yuan has lessened?

It turned out his efforts were paying off.

Immediately, Bai Chenxi was overjoyed, and his mood was great for the entire day.

In the company office.

He had already handled everything accumulated by Fengying, and the newly appointed general manager was also his most trusted person.

Therefore, as Yan Yuan went to film, he prepared to go abroad to check on other branches.

The night before Yan Yuan was set to depart for Jiangli City.

Bai Chenxi invited her for a grand meal.

At the dinner table, he looked at Yan Yuan seriously, "I’ll find an assistant to go with you, so I can be a bit more at ease."

But Yan Yuan shook her head, "No need! I’m a newcomer; having all this would only cause misunderstandings. I can protect myself, and even if someone tries to harm me, they wouldn’t get away with it!"

She was an indomitable princess; if someone could reach her, it was a testament to their skill.

Back then, she had even taken a bullet for Bai Chenxi, with a hole through her heart, and still couldn’t die.

Bai Chenxi suddenly fell silent.

Alright, a woman like this has no weakness.

No wonder pursuing her is this tough.

"When I’m done with work, I’ll come to see you film," Bai Chenxi said.

"Great! You can bring Little Baby too!" Yan Yuan smiled, patting Little Baby’s head. Lately, he was so well-behaved that when she picked him up, even the teacher praised his dancing in class.

And he was the best at everything, from painting to reading.

"Yay, I want to go. Mommy, don’t worry. I will definitely become the most handsome, cutest, and most lovable child in the entire kindergarten," Bai Ji said with a cheerful laugh.

Before, he was always alone, lonely and wanting to gain attention, hoping for someone to care about him.

But now it’s different.

With an uncle and a mommy, he has a complete family, someone to care for and love him.

As long as he performs well, he can bring them honor.

Not only does he want to become the strongest child in kindergarten, but he also wants to be the strongest in elementary, middle, and university.

With this goal, Bai Ji found that he no longer hated school.

On the contrary, he liked school and loved learning.

He wanted to learn more knowledge, earn more honors, and receive mommy’s praise.

Even if Yan Yuan had confiscated his phone, he wouldn’t waste time playing games now.

After dinner.

Yan Yuan planned to take Bai Ji to play in the square outside.

The place was crowded, the fountains stretched for miles, and Times Square was full of the aura of life.

Yan Yuan felt that blending into the crowd like this, experiencing the life of ordinary people.

She realized that human life is actually more meaningful than that of immortals.

It allows love, allows hate.

The scheming in the workplace, the deceit in life, all add color to life.

Standing too high, an immortal has no one daring to disrespect, making their life like a statue in the Temple Hall, like stars twinkling high in the sky.

Just like her mother, who once benefitted humanity with her life, but in the end, went unknown.

She creates life with her hands, but life cannot remember her goodness, and no one will be grateful to her.

She lives high above, yet there is a loneliness that stretches through eternity.

Fortunately, she has her father with her; even a simple smile exchanged between them is their happiness.

Yan Yuan felt that she needed to experience a romance.

Even if, in the end, it bears no fruit.

In the evening, she kept an eye on Bai Chenxi.

She thought about it but didn’t dare to try.

Once, her mother went alone to the Demon Realm for her father, seeking Blood Third Seven, which left her gravely injured, comatose, and ultimately asleep for thousands of years.

If she also fell in love with a human, did she have the power to defy destiny?

"Snap!" Yan Yuan slapped her forehead.

Damn! What am I thinking?

A little person inside her was struggling.

No, absolutely not.

Even if the Mortal World is good, it doesn’t compare to being an immortal.

She is a princess of the heavens, with a lifespan spanning generations.

And humans, in just a mere century, age terribly.

Just imagine, she would still be as beautiful as a flower, looking eighteen, while Bai Chenxi would be old, hunched over with missing teeth, and a face full of wrinkles.

She thought, perhaps she should skip falling in love.

In her words, no one is worthy of her.

Bai Ji enjoyed himself greatly that night, like a child, buying toys from street vendors and playing water fights with a group of children.

Yan Yuan and Bai Chenxi watched from not far away, smiles on their faces.

Bai Chenxi said, "This child was born without parents. He has always been cared for by nannies, rebelling from a very young age. For him, there was no such thing as a childhood."

"Now he can be like a normal child. All of this is thanks to you." Bai Chenxi’s words were full of gratitude.

Yan Yuan chuckled lightly, "Please, Bai Ji is actually very good. Being with him makes me happy too."

And he’s so cute, growing up so handsome.

His round face, thick eyebrows, and big eyes like purple grapes make him instantly likable.

"There used to be many women who wanted to get close to him to approach me, but they never succeeded. A child’s sensitivity is remarkable; he can feel whether you are genuinely good to him or not," Bai Chenxi remarked.

Yan Yuan smiled, "For me, there’s no such thing as real or fake feelings. I just do what I like!"

Bai Chenxi laughed.

Perhaps that’s what makes Yan Yuan so attractive.

She is always so carefree and confident.

After a while of playing, the two of them took Bai Ji home.

Bai Ji bought a lot of toys, and after the three of them got off the car, each of them was carrying something.

If Yan Yuan didn’t look so young, they really could have passed as a family of three.

At the elevator door, they happened to bump into Chu Chen and his assistant returning.

"Mr. Bai, Yan Yuan, good evening!" Chu Chen greeted them first.

The scars on his face had healed, and his skin looked even better than before.

He hadn’t mentioned it to anyone, and his assistant Zhang Mingyu was always curious about how his injuries healed so mysteriously and his skin improved severalfold.

That’s something no facial mask could ever achieve.

Yan Yuan replied with a smile, "Good evening! Where did you go to have fun tonight?"

"I attended a party," Chu Chen smiled.

Bai Chenxi stood there, silent, with a cold and ethereal demeanor, creating a sense of distance.

While he didn’t speak, Yan Yuan managed to remain familiar.

But the atmosphere was mysteriously tense.

Bai Ji coughed and cheerfully said, "Uncle Chu Chen, sister is also going to start acting. Please take good care of her!"

Because Zhang Mingyu was present, he couldn’t casually call her mom.

After all, the fewer people who knew about Yan Yuan taking him in as her son, the better.

Chu Chen smiled gently, patted Bai Ji’s head, and promised, "I will, I’ll definitely take good care of your sister."

Bai Chenxi’s face darkened at this remark.

Especially since this filming was taking place in Jiangcheng, which was quite far away.

As the elevator was about to reach Bai Chenxi’s apartment floor, he finally looked at Chu Chen, with a face like ice, and said, "Act well in this project; I’ve invested a lot of money in it, and I don’t want it to be a loss. Also, take care of yourself. Don’t let women worry about you."

He intended to turn this drama into the biggest hit of the year, conquering next year’s hottest TV series lists and sweeping various awards.

Even though Chu Chen’s acting was excellent, he didn’t want any accidents to happen during this period.

However, he didn’t think Chu Chen had the capability to take care of Yan Yuan.

In fact, he hoped Chu Chen wouldn’t cause any trouble and drag Yan Yuan into it.

He was seeking tomorrow’s newcomer award and the best supporting actress award for Yan Yuan.

Yan Yuan wasn’t aware of Bai Chenxi’s plans.

She knew to live brilliantly; she needed to rely on her own efforts.

Back home.

Bai Ji obediently went to wash up and sleep first.
