Chapter 1017: 1002, Jue and Zhanâs Couple Extra (1) Chapter 1017: 1002, Jue and Zhanâs Couple Extra (1) âThe rest is up to you guys, donât bother me unless itâs something big,â Bai Jue took off his gloves and lab coat, picked up his car keys, and walked outside.
âYoung Master Jue, where are you going?â The Research Roomâs Assistant chased after him, but Bai Jue had already gotten into his sports car.
With one hand on the steering wheel and a rogue smile playing on his lips, Bai Jue said, âIâm off to chase my wife. Donât disturb me unless necessary, or Iâll show you what a fist as big as a clay pot feels like.â
âBut you did promise to perform that surgery for the president of the Wil Group tomorrow. The scheduled time is tomorrow.â The Assistant said, frowning worriedly.
Bai Jue scoffed, âLet him find another doctor. With all the bad things heâs done, itâs up to King Yama to decide if he lives or dies.â
After finishing his sentence, the white sports car sped off, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the thick of the night, Bai Jue strolled leisurely into the airport, checked the time, and dialed a number on his phone.
He picked a bench and casually sat down, waiting to board.
Soon, someone on the other end of the phone answered.
âDammit, Bai Jue! I said I wanted to give you the cold shoulder, so why are you bothering me with calls?â Zhan Mingyanâs explosive voice made Bai Jueâs ears buzz.
Well, his fiery little pepper was full of energy.
Suddenly, a raucous electronic noise came through, and the boyfriend alarm bells in his head went off instantly. âLittle Yannyan, where are you?â
âNone of your business. Iâm not telling you.â Zhan Mingyan purposely irritated him.
This âcold warâ between the two started last week. Bai Jue took Zhan Mingyan to a party, and as luck would have it, they ran into one of Bai Jueâs old flames. Seeing a woman nearly clinging onto Bai Jue, Zhan Mingyan left in a huff and ignored him for a whole week.
Bai Jue pinched the bridge of his nose, just as he was about to speak, the call was disconnected.
âBeep beep beepâŠâ
âThe flight to Beijing is about to take off. Passengers please prepare to boardâŠâ A sweet voice rose from the loudspeaker and resonated through the airport.
Bai Jue put away his phone, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Lilâ fiery pepper, just you wait for me!
On the other side
With flashing lights and throbbing music, people on the dance floor twisted their hips and butts wildly, accompanied by the clinking of glasses.
Zhan Mingyan ordered a cocktail, watching the couples dancing closely together on the floor, her mind drifting to someone across the ocean.
âMingyan, what are you thinking about?â Xiya, who had just come back from the bathroom, saw Zhan Mingyan daydreaming and tapped her on the shoulder.
âItâs nothing,â Zhan Mingyan replied absently.
âLet me guess, could it be youâre thinking of Bai Jue?â Xiya teased her.
Zhan Mingyan managed an awkward smile, took a few sips from her glass to hide her thoughts, âNo way, whoâd think about that jerk.â
âDid you two have a fight?â Xiya inquired.
âNope.â
âTsk tsk, Mingyan, youâre really not cut out for lying,â Xiya said with a laugh, âYour expression gives you away every time you lie.â
âAh, stop talking about that jerk, letâs keep drinking.â Zhan Mingyan handed her a glass and clinked it against hers.
Xiya, ever so hearty, downed the drink in one gulp, set down her glass, and looped an arm around her neck, âAlright, no more about him. Letâs go, Iâll take you to the next party.â
Listening to her refer to herself as âthe young master,â Zhan Mingyan gave her an amused look, âPlease, youâre a mom, do you have no shame calling yourself âyoung masterâ?â
âWhy feel ashamed? Look, isnât the young master dashing?â Xiya retrieved a cap and plopped it onto her head, taming her flamboyant pink locks.
Zhan Mingyan chuckled, yet had to admit that Xiya did indeed resemble a prince straight out of a comic book, especially with her baggy casual wear. If you didnât look closely, you could easily mistake her for a man.
Just look at all the girls around sending Xiya their coy glances, and you can tell how charismatic Xiya really is.
âDashing, totally dashing.â
Xiya said with a playful smile, draping her arm around her, âCome on, kiddo, Iâll take you to enjoy some good food and spicy drinks.â
After hanging out with Xiya at bars and having a big meal at a food stall, Zhan Mingyan didnât go home but stayed the night at the hotel where Xiya was staying.
It was dawn when Bai Jue came out of the airport.
He made several calls, but there was no answer on the other end of the line.
He frowned but didnât give up, continuing to call.
This time, someone finally answered, but it wasnât Zhan Mingyan.
âWho is this?â
The voice sounded lazy and hoarse from just waking up.
Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Jueâs lips twitched slightly, âXiya, how come my wifeâs phone is with you?â
The parents hadnât even met yet, but Bai Jue had already claimed her as his own.
Xiya, hearing Bai Jueâs voice, sobered up a bit, glanced at the person beside her still not fully awake, lifted the quilt and carefully got out of bed.
Then, she took the phone to the outside balcony to talk, clicking her tongue, âBai Jue, when did I not know that you got a wife?â
âQuit your nonsense. How did you two end up together?â No wonder when he called her last night, he heard the noise of a bar. It turned out this lady was there.
Xiya turned around, leaning against the railing, âWhatâs the matter, canât handle it? Lady slept with your wife last night, feeling jealous?â
Bai Jue was at his witâs end, wondering how Khan could manage his wife so poorly that he couldnât even keep this troublemaker in check.
What a calamity.
âXiya, Khan probably doesnât know about you going to the bar, right?â
Xiya pouted her lips, detecting the threat in his words, âItâs your own fault for not having a wife, not cute at all.â
Cute my foot.
What does a grown man need to be cute for?
âEnough. I will send you the location, hurry up and get over here.â Seeing the person in the bed stir, Xiya whispered.
After the phone call, she tiptoed back inside.
No sooner had she put the phone back in its place than the person on the bed woke up.
Zhan Mingyan rubbed her eyes, groggily sitting up, âWhat time is it?â
âNot even seven yet, go back to sleep a bit more,â said Xiya.
Having drank too much beer at the food stall last night, Zhan Mingyan felt her head was heavy and foggy. She glanced outside; the sky was a dull gray, and she fell back asleep.
Seeing her asleep, Xiya grabbed her clothes and headed to the bathroom.
A while later, she finished washing up, changed into fresh clothes, and came out.
She poured a glass of water but barely took a couple of sips when there was a knock at the door.
Xiya didnât need to guess who it was. She put down the glass, then grabbed her hat and car keys to go and open the door.
âNot bad, that was quick,â Xiya said, eyeing the person at the door, dusty and rushed. If it werenât for not wanting to wake Zhan Mingyan, she would have whistled.
âWhere is she?â Bai Jue asked.
Xiya pointed towards the large bed, then playfully slapped his chest, âThere, Iâm giving her back to you. Iâm out of here, and you better not tell Khan I was here, or else,â she threatened with a humph, âIâll take your wife with me.â
