Chapter 540: 295 Is the Daughter-in-Law Obedient? (Third Update)_2

No sooner had she finished speaking when a cough came from behind her. It was Fang Yuyang, who, distrustful of her, had insisted on following her. Hearing his voice, Fang Yuxin’s body involuntarily tensed up as she prepared to create some distance between herself and Bai Ye without drawing attention. However, Bai Ye chose this moment to suddenly grasp Fang Yuxin’s hand, stopping her in her tracks.

Fang Yuxin shot Bai Ye a look, signaling him with her eyes to let go quickly. Fang Yuyang was watching from behind! Fang Yuyang’s gaze turned even more intimidating, as cold as a piercing knife, aimed straight at Bai Ye!

However, Bai Ye acted as if he hadn’t noticed and adamantly refused to release her hand. He simply said to the bashful big man inside, "I just got back, hurry and open the door."

"Oh!" The big man subconsciously replied, though his eyes kept drifting to where Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin’s hands were joined, his gaze flickering excitedly, as if he had discovered a new world—Good heavens! His team captain, known for being unromantic, had finally seen the light! And he’d even brought back a super beauty! Wait—what’s that? Could it be the captain’s Contracted Beast? A majestic White Tiger no less! Truly fitting for the captain!

The big man’s attention was gradually drawn to the White Tiger beside Fang Yuxin. Originally Bai Ye’s Spiritual Pet, the White Tiger had always been fed by Fang Yuxin and it was her who had treated its injuries, so it had grown close to Fang Yuxin and couldn’t be bothered to stay near Bai Ye.

Fang Yuxin’s teasing gaze floated back to Bai Ye, who raised his hand to his nose, suddenly feeling somewhat embarrassed. How had he never noticed before that he had such a dimwit among his subordinates?

Fang Yuyang had intended to go to Fang Yuxin’s side, but with a large White Tiger blocking the way, he could only stand next to Bai Er as a second-best option. He was extremely dissatisfied with Bai Ye grabbing onto Fang Yuxin and taking liberties with her! But right now, they were at the Bai Family’s doorstep, and who knows how many pairs of eyes were watching. He couldn’t just start a fight with Bai Ye right then and there, so for the moment, he had to swallow his anger.

Although the big man was quite simple-minded, he was deft in his actions and quickly opened the large door, respectfully inviting Bai Ye in. His gaze remained on Fang Yuxin, filled with a heavy scrutiny, as if evaluating whether Fang Yuxin was fit to be their team captain’s wife or if she was some fox spirit from elsewhere.

Fang Yuxin, noticing his evaluative gaze, smiled meaningfully. She had said so. How could the people under Bai Ye truly be dimwitted? Although this man acted simple, on closer inspection, he seemed prudently chosen to guard the door, no wonder he had been assigned this role.

She wasn’t bothered by the big man’s scrutiny, but Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang were not pleased and gave him a cold look, full of a warning. The big man didn’t care about Fang Yuyang’s attitude but couldn’t ignore Bai Ye. Seeing him get angry, he quickly withdrew his gaze, while reminding, "Captain, you better go inside quickly, the generals are worried about you!"

Bai Ye knew he was deliberately trying to divert his attention so as to avoid punishment and said, "I’m fine, tell everyone I’m back and they don’t need to worry."

The big man blinked in confusion, and it wasn’t until after Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin, and two others had entered did he suddenly grasp what Bai Ye really meant. Hurrying over to the Communicator, he began calling Chen Si, and once connected, he excitedly shouted, "Chen Si, Chen Si! Quickly tell the brothers, the captain is back! And, he’s brought back a great beauty and a white tiger, so imposing!"

Chen Si’s cool voice soon came through, "Is the boss really back? What about his communicator contact number?"

"Uh," the big man paused, "I forgot to ask..."

"..." Chen Si’s forehead vein throbbed, just as the big man hesitated to offer to "go and ask"; Chen Si said, "Never mind, we’ll talk about it when we get back," and then hung up.

The big man frowned, feeling like Chen Si had hung up too quickly, and he couldn’t help but worry. But he feared that it might be a critical moment over there and dared not disturb them. So he turned to look toward the house, indecisive about whether he should inform Bai Ye of this development.

In the living room, Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou were about to reach the door but suddenly stopped. Shui Rou tiptoed to the window, carefully lifted a sliver of the curtain, and sneakily peered outside. Seeing the three people and tiger standing at the doorway, she became excited and kept sizing up Fang Yuxin, who just so happened to be smiling at Bai Ye. There was a mischievous twinkle in that smile, and Shui Rou took to the girl immediately, feeling that she fit her tastes!

With a serious expression, Bai Zhengli stood behind Shui Rou, hands clasped behind his back, eyes slightly squinting, peering through the gap outside. He glanced at Fang Yuxin and gave a slight nod, but then his attention was captured by the white tiger beside her!

My, that tiger looked impressive! He liked it!

Bai Zhengli stroked his chin and thought: he hadn’t got a Contracted Beast himself yet. Shouldn’t his son give him, an old man, a display of filial piety? Hmm, that White Tiger caught his eye; it was just a matter of whether his rascal son would be willing to part with it...

Bai Qianqian glanced at the two of them, and just as she wanted to go and open the door, she was suddenly stopped by Bai Zhengli. Now that he and Shui Rou saw Bai Ye and company entering the main door and coming this way, their expressions changed. They grabbed Bai Qianqian and walked back to sit on the sofa, trying their best to look serious.

So, when the door was opened by Bai Ye, the three people and one tiger saw Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou sitting solemnly on the couch, appearing to be in a bad mood. Bai Qianqian sat between them with a pout and a sullen look. However, at the sight of Fang Yuxin, her eyes lighted up and she dashed toward her, abandoning the two.
