Chapter 713 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
It seemed easier than Bai Chengci had expected to confess her feelings to her father and gain his approval than he had anticipated.
In her imagination, her father, holding a high position, would habitually weigh the pros and cons. Therefore, before even negotiating, Bai Chengci was already prepared to offer up her future choice.
However, Mr. Bai did not accept it.
Although he was pleased that Bai Chengci was willing to move towards the future he hoped for, he was even more willing to see his child's happiness. He did not want this simple matter to become a transaction between father and son.
After all, it's not wrong to be infatuated with someone when you're young.
It is exactly what parents hope for when their child receives genuine affection.
So in the end, Mr. Bai just smiled faintly and said that it was rare to see him like someone so much.
There were no obstacles, no arguments, and she even received her father's tacit approval. At this moment, Bai Chengci finally felt at ease.
His original plan was to take things slowly with Jiang Xiyu.
But when he returned to Haicheng, he would inevitably think of the people and things that had appeared around Jiang Xiyu.
The thought of those people continuing to harass her made Bai Chengci's heart sink completely.
Jiang Xiyu is so charming.
Not only was he himself hopelessly infatuated with him, but others were also unknowingly infatuated with him.
They are still young and will meet many more people in the future.
What if Jiang Xiyu meets someone better one day?
Will he become the second Xu Yunzhi?
Bai Chengci couldn't help but think more deeply.
Even though such overthinking makes him feel anxious and irritable all the time, besides that, he feels a strong longing for Jiang Xiyu.
My initial desire was to be with him, and once we were together, I longed to never be apart. During that month we spent inseparable in the countryside, this thought only intensified.
Until their first separation a month later.
When he went home, he drove Jiang Xiyu's car, which was filled with his scent.
It wasn't the car's fragrance, but rather the faint scent that belonged to that person, just like his embrace.
In that instant, Bai Chengci relaxed, and even the anxiety in her subconscious seemed to be gently soothed by a pair of hands.
He sat in the driver's seat for a long time, reflecting on the experience, before making his decision.
Therefore, getting married was not a spur-of-the-moment decision for Bai Chengci.
He really wanted to do it.
It seemed that only by obtaining that legal shackle could he resolve his anxieties and gain, and only then could he forever receive that warm embrace.
He did not want to, and absolutely would not allow himself to become a second Xu Yunzhi.
Therefore, he wants to marry Jiang Xiyu.
Mr. Bai was surprised by his insistence on marriage, but he didn't say anything to refute him. He just told him that his studies should be the priority now.
Apart from that, everything else can be done slowly and patiently, especially something as important as getting married.
Bai Chengci said she knew this, but her original intention to get married remained unchanged.
It was rare for Bai's father to talk about his time with his mother when he was young.
Bai Chengci listened attentively, but her expression remained unchanged. She only silently memorized the key points.
The clock in the study ticked slowly, and the atmosphere was quiet.
Bai Chengci listened quietly until the study door was opened again, and only after seeing who it was did she stand up.
Cen Yi brought in fruit and, seeing the harmonious atmosphere between the father and son, couldn't help but smile gently.
"I've prepared some fruit for you, please try it."
Bai Chengci glanced at it and said, "Thank you, Mom."
After saying that, Bai Chengci politely sat with them for a while before leaving.
After he left the study, Cen Yi sat down next to Bai's father and asked him, "You didn't argue with your son just now, did you?"
"What's all the noise about?" Mr. Bai looked at her and smiled, asking knowingly.
Cen Yi pursed her lips, glanced at him, and her eyes were full of questioning.
What do you say?
Mr. Bai took some fruit and held it to her lips, then suddenly found it somewhat amusing and remarked, "Don't you understand me, Cen Cen?"
He loved this late-arriving child to the extreme, extending that affection to everything related to the child.
Seeing that his expression was genuine, Cen Yi leaned closer and took a bite of the fruit he offered. Then, she leaned against him and said, "That's good. What could be more important than our child's happiness?"
Bai's father went along with her and coaxed her in a low voice, "You're right."
Cen Yi was satisfied and then ordered her father to feed her a cherry.
In the end, most of the fruit was gone.
Seeing that she had eaten too much, Mr. Bai suggested, "I'll take you downstairs for a walk."
Cen Yi took his hand and smiled as she agreed, "Okay."

Before returning to her bedroom, Bai Chengci went downstairs to get her luggage.
After putting the local specialties Jiang Xiyu had prepared in the refrigerator, he took the few clothes he had and went upstairs.
After packing her clothes, Bai Chengci looked at the empty bed and suddenly began to miss Jiang Xiyu terribly.
I miss his body temperature, I miss his scent.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but take out her phone and text Jiang Xiyu, asking him what he was doing.
After sending the message, Bai Chengci waited for a while in the chat interface.
Three minutes later, he couldn't resist posting a few more messages:
Have you had lunch yet?
Are you still busy? Why aren't you replying to me?
[(Crying kitten jpg)]
17:00——
【I miss you.】
17:10——
Can I return the car tomorrow?
17:20…
[I'd like to live with my boyfriend, is that okay?]
……
The green light gradually illuminated Bai Chengci's face, but she received no response after sending many messages.
Bai Chengci then sent a message to Jiang Jinya, inquiring about Jiang Xiyu's situation.
Jiang Jingya replied quickly, telling him: "My brother is busy."
Just a few seconds after he finished speaking, he attached a photo of Jiang Xiyu hanging up clothes, which he had secretly taken.
The photo was taken at a great angle; when Jiang Xiyu raised her hand to her clothes, a section of her strong and muscular waist was just revealed.
Bai Chengci stared at the photo for a while, saved it, and then, remembering what happened downstairs today, typed: "Did no strange people go to see your brother today?"
[Sister]: No, my brother has been busy.
Bai Chengci: [That's good, thank you, sister.]
Jiang Jinya extended an invitation.
【I'm starting school the day after tomorrow, Brother Bai, would you like to come with me to see me off?】
Bai Chengci: [Okay.]
The two chatted for a while about Jiang Xiyu.
When Jiang Xiyu finished her work, she picked up her phone and saw that she had received many clingy messages from Bai Chengci.
He opened the message, scrolled through it, and finally replied with: "Busy."
After sending the message, Jiang Xiyu wanted to go to the bathroom to wash her face.
Unexpectedly, the next second, I received a message from Lu Ziqi.
Lu Ziqi: [Brother, have you gone back to Haicheng? Can we meet up?]
