Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed

Bai Tianqi thought of something else and asked:

"Since Li Yuan is back now, should our two families meet as planned for the New Year?"

The meeting of both parents was something the couple had previously agreed on.

Li Yuan and Bai Weixi had already met each other’s parents and were very satisfied, knowing each other well. At this time, it seemed appropriate for both sets of parents to meet...

Yang Jinyu nodded: "Yes, it’s necessary. When Bai comes back, I’ll privately ask for Bai’s opinion."

Yang Jinyu suddenly thought of the power struggles she’d heard about in wealthy families and reminded:

"Old Bai, no matter what, it seems our daughter is wholeheartedly with Li Yuan. You know Bai’s personality; she seems soft but is strong-willed and has her own ideas."

"If we forcibly stop her from being with Li Yuan, who knows what kind of foolishness she might do. We only have this cherished daughter; I don’t want things to turn ugly in the future."

"When the two families meet, you better control your bad temper and not say unpleasant things. As her parents, even if we cannot help our daughter, we shouldn’t cause her trouble either."

"Li Yuan is a big star now, with many businesses. From what I’ve found online, his company’s newly developed game, called ’Honor of Kings,’ just launched four or five days ago, and daily sales have already exceeded one hundred million... "

"We should think of ways to maintain good relations between the two families. It would be best to finalize Li Yuan and Bai’s engagement first. Our families are so close, Bai and Li Yuan are high school classmates with a deep emotional foundation, which is a big inherent advantage... "

"Once engaged, after Bai and Li Yuan graduate from college, they can marry immediately and have a child, which would secure their position. Even if Li Yuan has other women outside, it wouldn’t affect our daughter’s status..."

Bai Tianqi listened to Yang Jinyu’s rambling with a frown, feeling speechless inside.

"Jinyu, why talk about this now? Do you really agree with Li Yuan having multiple wives?"

Yang Jinyu sighed helplessly: "Old Bai, this is common, especially in powerful and influential families."

"With Li Yuan’s current status, it’s inevitable in the future. Don’t forget, he’s only nineteen now and has already achieved so much; who knows what the future holds."

"With such a man, do you really expect him to have only Bai as his woman for life?"

Bai Tianqi fell silent once more.

Not just Li Yuan, even himself, after driving a fancy car and wearing a Rolex, had some female teachers subtly trying to get close to him, batting their eyelashes...

Imagine how much temptation Li Yuan would face,

Bai Tianqi sighed: "Well, one step at a time!"

...

Meanwhile,

After Li Yuan got off at the roundabout near Fourth Middle School,

he saw a tall girl in a white down jacket and a pink scarf, braving the biting cold wind, rubbing her hands and constantly looking around for his figure...

Li Yuan smiled slightly and called out to that figure:

"Bai, I’m here!"

Hearing Li Yuan’s voice, Bai Weixi, seeing the person she longed for, immediately ran over like a homing swallow.

She jumped directly into Li Yuan’s arms, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Hubby, you’re finally here, I’ve missed you so much!"

As Bai Weixi spoke, she hugged Li Yuan, stood on tiptoe,

and pressed her chilled lips, which had turned a bit pale from the cold, against Li Yuan’s lips, initiating a kiss...

After a while, Li Yuan felt the taste of Bai Weixi’s cheeks was somewhat bitter and a little salty...

It was the taste of "tears."

Li Yuan thought Bai Weixi had cried because she missed him after a few days apart.

Li Yuan held Bai Weixi’s small frozen hands in his palms, feeling the biting cold wind outside, and remarked:

"It’s still cold in our hometown. It’s probably seven or eight degrees below zero now. Bai, your hands are almost frozen stiff, why didn’t you wear gloves?"

Bai Weixi felt sweet inside being held by Li Yuan, blinked her beautiful eyes at him, and said sweetly:

"I was too eager to see you and left in a hurry, forgot to bring gloves."

Li Yuan smiled slightly, rubbed Bai Weixi’s head, and her long black hair, a bit cool to the touch, while her ears were bright red from the cold wind.

"Silly girl, it’s too cold outside. Let’s go to the supermarket first. I’ll call my dad to come pick me up."

He took a chartered car back, and just to meet Bai Weixi, he didn’t go directly to the town below their hometown.

It’s already January 24, 2009, by the Gregorian calendar, and the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, so there were very few cars on the road.

Hearing Li Yuan’s words, Bai Weixi took out the Mercedes car key from her bag and handed it to Li Yuan.

"Brother, drive this car back! It’s just sitting idle at home anyway! No need for your dad to make a special trip to pick you up!"

Looking at the Mercedes car key, Li Yuan remembered that Bai Weixi had a car left at home.

However, this car, said to be a gift for Bai Weixi, was in fact given to her father, Bai Tianqi.

Li Yuan shook his head and said: "No need, I’ll just take a cab back later."

"It’s the New Year, the car should be left for Mr. Bai to drive, it’s more convenient for visiting relatives during the New Year."
