Black-bellied CEO: Lai Shang's Assistant

Chapter 362 The Last Chance
It was the first time for Bai Qixuan to come so early for the Bai family's family banquet.

As soon as he entered the entrance, he saw Ling Meihua and Bai Yuanfeng sitting on the sofa drinking tea.Although they respect each other as guests, they can't change the fact that they seem to be in harmony with each other.

Bai Qixuan helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking, facing a person who will never fall in love with you for the rest of his life, would you really feel happy just guarding him so obsessively?

"Dad, Mom." Bai Qixuan's tone was as cold as usual.

Ling Meihua raised her head, and when her eyes collided with Bai Qixuan, her heart twitched inexplicably.

She tried her best to maintain an elegant expression, so that no one would notice the abnormality, "Qi Xuan, come and sit."

Bai Qixuan didn't speak, walked over and sat down on the sofa.

Bai Yuanfeng was happy from the bottom of his heart, feeling that he and his son were getting closer, so he naturally approached Bai Qixuan, "Qi Xuan, how is the guitar class going?"

"Very good, more and more children come to study, I plan to hire another teacher." Bai Qixuan answered absent-mindedly, but glanced at Ling Meihua from time to time.

Ling Meihua sat for less than a minute, then got up and walked upstairs, "I'm going to change into loose clothes, you two can talk slowly."

Bai Qixuan's gaze followed Ling Meihua until her figure disappeared at the stairs.

"Dad, what do you think my mother is to you? Is she important?"

Bai Qixuan's unexpected question made it impossible for Bai Yuanfeng to answer immediately. After being silent for tens of seconds, Bai Yuanfeng finally recovered his voice, "I have lived with your mother for nearly 30 years. The combination at the beginning was not because of love, but some people have become a habit after staying with you for a long time. It may not hurt or itch at ordinary times, until you really lose it, you will find yourself a little bit reluctant."

"Then is my mother important to you, or not?" Bai Qixuan asked persistently.

Bai Yuanfeng frowned, "It's a very important person."

He always felt that he was sorry for Ling Meihua, so he deliberately made up for her.And Ling Meihua is always the same to him, never leave him, even if he is a strong man, he has learned to be grateful.

"Is it?" Bai Qixuan's mouth curled into a wry smile.

He originally planned to ask if her mother's current situation surpassed that of Bai Muhan's mother.Now it seems that there is no need to ask this stupid question.

Never try to fight a dead man, you can't fight.

Bai Qixuan didn't speak any more, just sat there like a wooden man.

The atmosphere fell into a long-term embarrassment, and each other was speechless, and they couldn't guess what the other was thinking.

Bai Yuanfeng sipped the tea on his own, but his mind was not on the tea at all.

Bai Qixuan couldn't adapt to such silence, and said, "Dad, I'll go up and have a rest first."

"En." Bai Yuanfeng nodded.

Bai Qixuan ran into Ling Meihua at the top of the stairs, and when they passed by, he pulled Ling Meihua back directly.

After locking the door, Bai Qixuan looked at the person in front of him very solemnly, "Mom, this may be your last chance, before Bai Muhan finds any conclusive evidence, you can leave with me."

"I said that if I don't leave, I won't admit defeat to him." Ling Meihua tightly clenched her hands hanging on both sides of her body, "Besides, your father's health is getting worse and worse, and he needs someone to take care of him."

"Mom, don't be stupid, Dad doesn't have you in his heart at all." Bai Qixuan forcibly suppressed his collapsed emotions.

"I know, you don't need to remind me." Ling Meihua's pupils narrowed, trying to cover up her disappointment with anger.

She looked at Bai Qixuan calmly for a second, then opened the door and went out.

Bai Qixuan smiled helplessly, and threw himself on the bed with his head in his arms.

He thought he was the stupidest person in the world, but he didn't expect his mother to be.

Ling Meihua tidied up her emotions and went downstairs to get water and medicine for Bai Yuanfeng as usual.

Bai Yuanfeng suffers from high blood pressure and needs to be strictly controlled with medication.

"Thank you." Bai Yuanfeng swallowed the pill, expressing his gratitude habitually.

Perhaps stimulated by Bai Qixuan's sentence "he doesn't have you in his heart", Ling Meihua is particularly concerned about Bai Yuanfeng's "thank you".

Her face was very ugly, but she kept trying to restrain herself.

After living with Bai Yuanfeng for so long, she has already practiced invulnerability.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Bai Yuanfeng turned his head and looked at Ling Meihua carefully.

Ling Meihua's expression loosened a bit, and after forcing a smile, she picked up the apple in front of her and peeled it.

"Meihua, I..." Bai Yuanfeng hesitated to speak.

Ling Meihua raised her eyes, "What do you want to say, I'm listening."

"It's okay, I'll go up and practice calligraphy for a while." Bai Yuanfeng got up and walked towards the stairs.

He wanted to express his apology and gratitude to Ling Meihua for so many years, but for some reason, he just couldn't say it.

Maybe it's because I'm not used to this kind of expression, or maybe I'm too old and feel too hypocritical.But he was grateful to Ling Meihua in his heart, and felt her contribution.

At the beginning, he accepted Ling Meihua because of the promise he made to the two families. He promised that if the curse came true, he would marry Ling Meihua as his wife.

It's just that he has been in the same boat through thick and thin for 30 years, and he is no longer as repulsive as before.Especially feeling Ling Meihua's tolerance and love, he is also trying to open his heart and accept this woman who has been by his side all the time.

Just as Bai Yuanfeng reached the stairs, Ling Meihua's voice came from behind him.

He hurriedly turned back and looked at Ling Meihua anxiously, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I accidentally hurt my hand with a fruit knife, I'll go up and deal with it." Ling Meihua pressed the wound with a napkin, and the napkin was stained red after a while.

Bai Yuanfeng put his hand on her shoulder, "You wait here, I'll go up and get the medicine box."

"I..." Ling Meihua had just uttered the words, but Bai Yuanfeng had already walked a long way.

After a while, Bai Yuanfeng went downstairs with the medicine box.

Ling Meihua was still sitting there in the same posture as before, the tissue was stained red with blood, and she didn't know to change it.

Bai Yuanfeng took Ling Meihua's hand on his own, and carefully disinfected it, "Next time you ask someone else to peel the fruit for you, don't do it yourself."

Ling Meihua froze on the spot, not knowing how to react.

For so many years, it was the first time that Bai Yuanfeng treated her like this.Although they are husband and wife, they have deliberately kept their distance.In the past when she was injured, Bai Yuanfeng only cared about it, and never took any real action.

Today, she seemed to see the dawn of victory, and saw that the ice between them was melting little by little.

Ling Meihua sobbed softly, tears running down her cheeks and falling on the back of her hands.

Bai Yuanfeng thought it was because he was using too much force, so he quickly withdrew his hand, "I'm sorry, I will be lighter."

"I don't hurt, I just didn't expect you to treat me like this." Ling Meihua sniffed her nose violently, forcing back tears.

Bai Yuanfeng pursed his lips and continued to move his hands.
