Chapter 591: Chapter 584: A Different Radiance
Very soon, Bai Yiran realized how foolish and impulsive it was to agree so directly to Wu Jingjing.
Because as soon as she steps out, there will definitely be people from Leng Yichenâs side trailing her. Although she canât see them, they truly exist.
This also means that no matter where she goes or who she is with, Leng Yichen will immediately know, just like during the team building last time.
But having already promised Wu Jingjing, Bai Yiran really doesnât want to give up this legitimate opportunity to enter Wu Chengzuâs house.
"What are you doing?" Leng Yichen came out after his shower, already dressed in casual homewear. Itâs Saturday; he doesnât need to go to the company, and unusually, has no social engagements.
"Oh, nothing." Bai Yiran discreetly put her phone in her pocket.
Leng Yichen didnât notice Bai Yiranâs gesture; he was focused on her face, "The weather is nice today; how about taking the kids out to play?"
Bai Yiran felt stirred inside; Xiao Xi was still young and had no concept of going out to play. However, itâs true that it has been a while since she took Xiao Lang out.
"What! What!" Xiao Lang ran in upon hearing the sound, "Dad, are you taking me and Xiao Xi out to play?"
Xiao Langâs eyes shone brightly; he hadnât gone out to play with mom and dad for a long time, and Aunt Liu spent the most time with him every day.
"Yes, Xiao Lang, where do you want to go?"
"I want to..."
"Not today!" Before Xiao Lang could say where he wanted to go, Bai Yiran had already refused, "I have things to do today."
Xiao Langâs previously bright eyes immediately dimmed, looking pitifully at Leng Yichen.
Leng Yichen looked at Bai Yiran, "Whatâs up today? Why didnât you mention it before?"
Seeing Xiao Langâs expression, Bai Yiran felt a pang of heartache but had more important things to do.
"That troublesome girl from the company called me, saying that some clientâs data got mixed up, affecting both partiesâ contracts, and hopes I can go back to the company to help sort it out."
Leng Yichen frowned upon hearing it was work-related, "She really is a troublesome person."
Since Bai Yiran had a sudden work obligation, the proposal to take the kids out was canceled. Bai Yiran left home under Xiao Langâs resentful gaze, suppressing her heartache.
She said she was going back to the company to handle business matters, so she had Li Sha drive her to the company first, pretending to work for a while before leaving. She didnât let Li Sha drive her home, but asked to be taken to Lou Jingâs cafĂ©.
During this time, Wu Jingjing kept calling, probably getting anxious at home.
Actually, Bai Yiran was anxious too, but she had to shake off Leng Yichenâs people before that.
The café was once co-managed by Bai Yiran and Lou Jing, and she knew there was a hidden back door which leads directly to another street.
Meanwhile, Wu Jingjing indeed got a little impatient. She was worried Bai Yiran might change her mind and not come. Ever since realizing her dad had taken an interest in Aunt Yiran, Wu Jingjing was even more relentless in contacting and approaching Bai Yiran, hoping to make her dad noticeable in her auntâs eyes.
However, recently she also noticed Aunt Yiran seemed less resistant to her, and her interaction with her increased.
Just when Wu Jingjing couldnât wait and wanted to make another call, the doorbell rang.
"Is it Aunt Yiran?"
"Yes."
Wu Jingjing opened the door and saw Bai Yiran carrying a large bag of food, her eyes sparking with unique brilliance.
