Chapter 625: Chapter 618: Little Schemer
Wu Chengzu held Bai Yiranâs hand, the soft and smooth touch made his heart flutter.
"Mr. Wu, please let go of my hand!" Bai Yiran said urgently in a low voice, there were other guests in the restaurant, and Bai Yiran didnât want to attract attention with large movements or loud voices.
Wu Chengzuâs grip tightened even more, "Donât call me Mr. Wu."
"What?"
Wu Chengzu laughed, a somewhat desolate laugh, yet his voice carried a fierce force, like a warning, like a plea, "Donât call me Mr. Wu!"
He really didnât want to let go of these hands. If he could, Wu Chengzu really wanted to hold them like this forever. Of course, what he desired was not just to hold her hand. He wanted to press her beneath him, listen to her wonderful breaths, watch her charming expressions.
He once shamefully fantasized about Bai Yiran beneath him, for a long period, he was tormented by such filthy thoughts to the brink of madness, and had to turn to Cheng Shishi.
Essentially, Cheng Shishi was just a substitute. The real main role was living well, so even if Cheng Shishi died, he wouldnât feel a bit sad.
"Wu Chengzu, please let go of my hand!" Since she couldnât call him Mr. Wu, Bai Yiran chose another form of address, but her voice turned cold.
Though this title didnât satisfy Wu Chengzu either, at least she was calling his name now, now itâs Wu Chengzu, and eventually, it might change into something else.
Despite being reluctant to let go, upon seeing Bai Yiranâs eyes showing resistance and disgust, he released her hand.
He didnât want Bai Yiran to see him as a ruffian! After this transaction ends, he will think of every way possible to win over this woman! By then, even if she hates him, it doesnât matter, as long as he can confine her to his side, nothing else matters!
Bai Yiran withdrew her hand, avoiding eye contact with Wu Chengzu. She wanted to leave but was unwilling to leave just like that. Aside from Wu Chengzuâs hint earlier while evading her care for Wu Jingjing about that matter, there was no meaningful conversation.
As the situation reached a deadlock, Bai Yiran had no choice but to bring up Wu Jingjing again, "You are Jingjingâs father, now sheâs left with only you as a relative. Canât you spend more time with her?"
Seeing Bai Yiran hadnât stormed off angrily due to his earlier lack of restraint, Wu Chengzu was somewhat pleased, maybe Bai Yiran wasnât entirely unable to accept him, "Iâve been trying my best to spend time with her."
"Pfft!"
The "pfft" from Bai Yiran was full of a little girlâs attitude, much like how Wu Jingjing often acted. Wu Chengzuâs lips curled up, feeling that today really was a lucky day.
Bai Yiran continued, "Jingjing often says to me that you donât have time to be with her, especially this month when sheâs hardly seen you! How busy do you have to be? A parentâs company is crucial during a childâs development."
Wu Chengzu nodded, "I understand, by the end of the month Iâll have a lot of time to spend with her once something is handled."
Bai Yiran raised an eyebrow, "I say, youâre the boss of a company, whatâs so important that you have to handle it yourself? Canât you have your employees do it for you?"
Wu Chengzu smiled, "This time itâs quite special, I have to go personally."
"Personally?" Bai Yiran sneered, "Saying it like itâs impossible without you~"
On the surface, Bai Yiran had a look of not understanding how Wu Chengzu could abandon his child for work, but her hands under the table started sweating.
In the car outside, Gao Sheng excitedly slapped his leg, praising Leng Yichen, "Your wife is truly a little genius!"
Leng Yichen glared at Gao Sheng, silent.
Gao Sheng continued, "Initially we were worried whether Wu Chengzu would show up on the day of the transaction, and what if he didnât? Now, thanks to your wifeâs question, we can be certain. Wu Chengzu will indeed personally escort that batch of goods for the transaction!"
