Chapter 191: Xiao Bai’s Plan

Chapter 191: Chapter 191: Xiao Bai’s Plan

Wan Chu’er wailed, but in truth, Xiao Bai was the real culprit tormenting her.

"Second Brother, what do you need the keys for?" She decided to play dumb.

Xiao Bai looked at her and laughed coldly, like The Buddha watching Sun Monkey flipping around in his hand.

"Resistance will be met with severity, while honesty will be rewarded with leniency."

Wan Chu’er took a deep breath, feeling that playing dumb was indeed the dumbest choice. She sat down in the chair again and earnestly explained:

"Jiang Kechu has an apartment in this complex, which is much larger than this one. You’ve complained about how small my place is, so I thought about moving there. Then you wouldn’t have to look for an apartment outside anymore. Second Brother, rest assured, Jiang Kechu doesn’t live there; it’s just me."

"Clap clap clap—" Xiao Bai couldn’t help but start clapping, leaving Wan Chu’er quite puzzled.

"Second Brother, what brilliant insight do you have now?" Wan Chu’er suppressed the urge to explode and asked humbly.

Xiao Bai snorted and said, "Indeed, a crafty old man, thankfully I’m here. Otherwise..."

He shook his head as he looked at Wan Chu’er, what a naive and silly girl.

"Otherwise, he’d soon sell you off, and you’d even help him count the money." As he spoke, Xiao Bai grew angry and began to pace around the living room again.

"Do you know what his behavior is? He’s using his apartment to hit on you! How is that different from using money? It’s even more contemptible!"

Wan Chu’er thought to herself, how is it using the apartment to hit on me, if he hasn’t even given it to me.

Luckily she didn’t voice this thought, or Xiao Bai would have definitely concluded she was beyond saving.

"Sounded nice, thinking of you, but it’s clearly leading you into a wolf’s den! And you actually go there yourself, foolish girl! How can you be so foolish."

He couldn’t help but want to scold Wan Chu’er some more.

"Where is that? His apartment, saying he doesn’t live there, but can men’s words be trusted? Pigs might fly, haven’t you heard that saying? Once you obediently move in, it’d be so convenient and easy for him to do anything bad!"

"Before you know it, you’ve become what others refer to as ’kept’, you know what that means, right? This old man is too wicked! You’re no match for him, but don’t be scared, Second Brother is here for you. I’ll enhance your fighting power and make it not so easy for this old man to succeed."

Xiao Bai kept referring to him as the "old man," which made Wan Chu’er really want to retort, Jiang Kechu is only two years older than you, if he’s an old man, you’re not that young either!

Of course, Wan Chu’er wouldn’t say this; it would only add fuel to the fire.

"Second Brother, Jiang Kechu seems to be only about two years older." She gently reminded him.

But this objective remark still made Xiao Bai give her a glare, "He’s still older than me!"

This was unreasonable, completely unreasonable!

Wan Chu’er was infuriated.

Xiao Bai couldn’t be bothered with her and made another two rounds through the living room. Finally, with a snap of his fingers, he said, "Let’s go, we’re heading out now."

Wan Chu’er: "..."

What is this all about now?

"Second Brother, I’ve just gotten home; I haven’t even had a sip of water, and I haven’t even washed off the smell of the train. Let me rest a bit."

Xiao Bai finally looked at her closely, then with a face full of disgust, he thought: How could Jiang Kechu, that scheming old man, be attracted to such an unkempt girl, he must be blind.

If Wan Chu’er knew what he was thinking, she would definitely throw punches and kicks to let off some steam, for both herself and Jiang Kechu. Too bad she didn’t know.

Xiao Bai waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can freshen up and rest at home for now. There’s food in the fridge, cook some noodles for yourself if you’re hungry. I’ve moved my things out, and An Zihao has a spare house, so I am staying there now."

Wan Chu’er’s mood instantly improved, finally freed from being interrogated like a criminal, and spared from contempt and nagging.

"Second Brother, take care," she waved goodbye.

Xiao Bai snorted, and while she wasn’t paying attention, he stretched out his hand and snatched the key from her pocket.

"I’ll keep it safe for you."

When he sees Jiang Kechu, he’ll definitely throw it right in his face. Just with an old house, he thinks he can lure away his Chuchu? Wishful thinking!

Wan Chu’er cried out in surprise, wanting to snatch it back, but saw Xiao Bai had already run to the door. She could only clench her fists, let it go, and decide to reorganize herself later.

Finally getting Xiao Bai off her back, Wan Chu’er hurriedly cleaned herself from head to toe, feeling refreshed at last.

In Heyang Village, taking a bath was extremely inconvenient, and she hadn’t bathed for several days. Additionally, with the recent travel, she felt grimy and dirt-covered.

After cleaning up, she felt wonderfully human again, and the nearly insane feeling Xiao Bai had caused disappeared without a trace. She heated up a bag of milk, ate an apple, sent a safe-arrival text to Jiang Kechu, and then threw herself on the comfortable bed and fell asleep.

While she was sleeping like the dead, her phone ringing by the pillow woke her up.

In the dim light, Wan Chu’er sat up groggily, unsure for a moment whether she was on the clay bed in Heyang Village, on a rocking train, or at home?

Oh, she had returned.

Rubbing her eyes and leaning into the phone’s blue screen, she saw ten missed calls from Xiao Bai and one unread message from Jiang Kechu.

Was there an emergency that Xiao Bai needed to address?

Her brain was foggy, but her fingers automatically opened the message from Jiang Kechu: "Behave and wait at home for me, missing you."

Wan Chu’er’s mouth spread into a wide grin, and just then the phone rang again. She finally remembered Xiao Bai and hurriedly picked up the call in a fluster.

"Hurry and open the door, I’m right outside."

Wan Chu’er finally snapped awake, checked that she was dressed appropriately, and quickly scrambled to open the door for Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai entered holding a stack of papers and also carrying a bag of food.

He looked at Wan Chu’er’s messy hair and asked, "Have you been sleeping all this time?" It had been at least eight hours since he left.

Wan Chu’er nodded and asked, "Second Brother, what’s up? Why did you call so many times?"

Xiao Bai placed the papers on the coffee table and said, "Here, take a good look, these are the results of my house hunting this afternoon, choose one you like." After speaking, he carried the food into the kitchen.

What did he mean? Houses? Choose one you like.

Wan Chu’er incredulously picked up the papers, which really were all housing ads.

"Jiang Ke wants to hit you with a house, so I’ll buy you a bigger one. From now on, if anyone else tries to hit you with a house, you can just fiercely retort them back! Sis isn’t lacking in houses!" Xiao Bai finished putting away the stuff and then plopped down on the sofa.

Wan Chu’er asked, "Do you have that much money?"

Xiao Bai scoffed, "Wrong! It’s not my money, it’s your money. Of course, you’ll be the one to pay for the house."
