CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 871: QI LING ENTANGLED

Besides, she never intended to deceive him about anything.

Now that Bai Liyan likes her, she feels incredibly, incredibly happy deep inside.

Even though it was just one morning apart, she already wants to see him.

She’s always been the type to act on her feelings, so she called him, wanting to ask what he was doing.

Leaving without waiting for her to wake up, that’s really too much!

The phone rang beep-beep-beep for a few times before being hung up.

From the prompt tone, she could tell he intentionally didn’t pick up her call.

Bai Liyan was driving, staring ahead, eyes as cold as frost and snow.

The feeling of being deceived almost drives him insane; just thinking that everything before was a conspired lie by Gu You and his mother, and he, of all people, developed true feelings for this deceiver, makes him feel bothered.

This feeling is more vexing than liking Ji Yunhuan.

Because aside from Ji Yunhuan, he’s never been this good to any woman.

Gu You’s call was ruthlessly hung up by Bai Liyan.

Bai Liyan returned home; his mother had just gotten up, saw him, and said, "Liyan."

He glanced at his mother, frowned slightly, but still walked over.

"What’s wrong? You don’t look well, are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

"Why does mom always have to lie to me?" Bai Liyan looked at his mother, trying hard to suppress the anger rising in him from being manipulated.

"How could I ever deceive you?" Aunt Bai looked at Bai Liyan, finding his words baffling, "What did I do to upset you?"

Bai Liyan had never been this angry in front of her before.

"You’ve never told me that Gu You is actually Yun Xi, and you kept pretending to be unfamiliar with her in front of me, isn’t this deception?" Bai Liyan felt genuinely disappointed, "Mom, how could you do such a thing? How could you... deceive my feelings like this?"

Even though he knew that everything his mother did might have been to help him forget Ji Yunhuan, the frustration in his heart still brewed together.

He despised himself for falling for Gu You without knowing her true identity.

Before, he thought it was unimportant, so he didn’t investigate, but now he didn’t even know what to say!

Aunt Bai said, "Liyan, that wasn’t what mom meant."

Unexpectedly, Bai Liyan found out so soon, but Aunt Bai didn’t feel she did anything wrong.

Bai Liyan didn’t listen to her explanation at all, directly went inside the house.

Gazing at his back, Aunt Bai helplessly sighed.

At that moment, Gu You’s call came in, and a servant came to inform, "Madam, Ms. Gu’s on the phone."

Bai’s mother went inside and answered the call. In the call, Gu You’s voice was a bit anxious, "Auntie, Bai Liyan came back?"

"He just got home."

"I just called him and he didn’t pick up, is he angry? It seems like he knows my identity." Gu You’s voice was filled with worry.

She didn’t expect Bai Liyan to be angry at this time, especially the day after they spent the night together.

This feeling, she really didn’t know how to describe it.

"It’s okay, I’ll talk to him." Aunt Bai helplessly sighed.

Even though, in Bai Liyan’s view, everything she did was deception, in Aunt Bai’s view, she was only wanting to respect Bai Liyan, which is why she provided him and Gu You an opportunity to have a different kind of interaction.

She hoped that even if Bai Liyan were to marry Gu You, it would be because he liked her, not because they were forced together under adult pressures.

As for why it would be Gu You, it wasn’t because she was the Yun family’s daughter, but because she knew Bai Liyan would like Gu You. As a mother, she understood what type her son would like, and Gu You shared many similarities with Ji Yunhuan.

She didn’t expect Bai Liyan to misunderstand her intentions.

For many days afterwards, Bai Liyan didn’t contact Gu You at all.

To him, if his encounter with Gu You was merely a setup, then it all loses its significance.

For the next few days, at the hospital entrance, the shadows of two women could be seen, one was Lin Xiang, the other was Gu You.

Gu You wanted to find a chance to explain things to Bai Liyan, while Lin Xiang wanted to boost her own presence.

During a break, Qi Ling looked downstairs and said, "Dr. Bai, your girlfriend showed up again today."

He didn’t forget the assertive attitude Bai Liyan had the day he saw Gu You.

Bai Liyan stayed silent, walking over to see Lin Xiang talking with Gu You, "Your fan is also here."

Qi Ling stopped smiling as soon as Bai Liyan said that, "She’s not here for me."

"Isn’t she?" Bai Liyan glanced at Lin Xiang.

Qi Ling said, "Why would she come to see me? I’m not familiar with her."

"But she’s been coming here every day lately!" Bai Liyan gave a knowing glance to the self-deceiving Qi Ling.

Qi Ling was also feeling troubled, lately wherever he went, he would coincidentally run into that woman, couldn’t help but sigh, "I must be too charming, women just love me."

"Yes, you’re so charming!" Bai Liyan laughed.

When it was time to leave, Bai Liyan and Qi Ling exited through the back door, neither of them wanted to see that woman. Because of some matters, Bai Liyan followed Qi Ling to the Qi Family’s place where his grandpa used to live, now his uncle and family resided there.

Ji Yunhuan and Qi Cheng also came to C City today, mainly to visit their uncle.

"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law." Qi Ling first greeted Qi Cheng and Ji Yunhuan, then invited Bai Liyan to sit down.

Bai Liyan looked at Qi Cheng, "Did you come over here for something?"

"Just came to see Uncle. Nothing major."

"You came without even saying a word." When Bai Liyan spoke, he completely ignored Ji Yunhuan sitting aside and only expressed concern for Qi Cheng.

Ji Yunhuan felt extremely awkward.

She never knew that silent treatment could be so terrifying!

It left her without a chance to interject.

Fortunately, Bai Liyan didn’t chat with Qi Cheng for long before going to discuss things with Uncle.

Ji Yunhuan watched Bai Liyan walk away in silence. Qi Cheng said, "What, feeling sad?"

"Why should I be sad?" Ji Yunhuan sighed, "It’s better that he ignores me. Otherwise, speaking would only make it more awkward."

Because of their past, she had nothing much to say with Bai Liyan.

Ji Yunhuan continued to look at photos, the photos were given by her second sister-in-law, all of Lin Xiang in various situations with Qi Ling recently.

Ji Yunhuan said, "If these photos were sent to Yun Qinghang, I wonder what the consequences would be."
