Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Chapter 686 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and

After the driver who picked up Bai Chengci drove to the old town, Bai Chengci finally came out of Jiang Xiyu's house.

It was still early, but the sky was already exceptionally blue under the sunlight. In addition, there was a lot of greenery around the old apartment area, so when the light and shadows filtered through the trees and fell on people, it made them feel warm all over without being too hot.

The elderly people in the old town tend to have an early start to their day, so they often choose this time to go out for breakfast, then stroll around and buy some fresh vegetables.

Some of the older women had just returned from grocery shopping. When they saw the tall, slender young figure walking out of the apartment building, they greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, you're up so early!"

The boy was tall and had long legs. He was wearing a Korean-style outfit and a mask.

Despite it being summer, he was dressed rather conservatively, wearing a white shirt with a black tie and a gray hooded sweatshirt over it, the zipper undone and left open. His overall demeanor was both casual and well-behaved, exuding a youthful charm.

It's understandable that the older woman admitted her mistake.

Because this was Jiang Xiyu's usual style of dressing, and there were few young people in this old apartment building, the older woman subconsciously mistook Bai Chengci for Jiang Xiyu.

Upon hearing that the older woman had mistaken him for someone else, Bai Chengci did not correct her immediately. Instead, he lowered his head, his hat covering his forehead and eyebrows, his eyes downcast, seemingly lost in thought. A few seconds later, he politely hummed in response.

The older woman walked up to him, stopped, and admired him for a moment.

After hearing his faint, low voice, she asked with some concern, "Are you feeling uncomfortable wearing a mask?"

Bai Chengci shook her head.

Seeing him shake his head, the woman smiled and asked kindly, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

As she spoke, she picked up the bag in her hand and placed it in front of Bai Chengci, saying, "Auntie happens to have some breakfast here, you can take it back for your sister to eat."

Bai Chengci raised her hands and waved them away as if in refusal.

The older woman thought he was just being shy, so she simply shoved the breakfast into his hands.

After handing over the breakfast, the woman seemed afraid he would try to give it back, and said as she walked into the apartment, "These steamed buns are delicious, take them home and try them."

Bai Chengci was truly stunned. She looked down at the food in her hand, then looked back at the aunt.

After the person disappeared into the corridor, Bai Chengci withdrew her gaze and sighed softly.

His suit was dirty, so Jiang Xiyu couldn't stand it and changed him into this outfit.

Because Bai Chengci barely resisted during last night's fight, she had quite a few bruises on her body. These wounds shouldn't be exposed, which is why Bai Chengci was dressed so warmly. She was wearing a mask to cover the wound on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't expect that people would mistake her for someone else.

I originally thought this was just a minor incident.

Before Bai Chengci had gone far, he heard someone call out to him coldly, "Jiang Xiyu!"

This voice...

It's Zhou Xi.

Last night, almost immediately after Jiang Xiyu and Bai Chengci arrived home, Zhou Xi came here.

However, he did not choose to go up, but instead sat in the car and smoked.

He spent the entire night thinking about how to make Jiang Xiyu submit.

But he also knew that perhaps no method would work.

Because Jiang Xiyu is an uncontrollable person. He is casual about relationships and interpersonal relationships. He can flatter and fawn, but he can also decisively withdraw. Just like this time, after that night in Shenzhen, Jiang Xiyu wants to completely sever ties with him.

It seemed to be telling Zhou Xi that he didn't care about the consequences of doing so at all.

So when Zhou Xi exposed his affair with Bai Chengci, he was still met with Bai's indifferent attitude, and Bai didn't even give him a second glance.

It's completely elusive!

This person, waiting patiently was useless, and using power to suppress him was also useless. As a result, Zhou Xi, who was repeatedly hesitant because of the people around him, did something completely foolish.

But Zhou Xi was unwilling to give up.

So, looking at that retreating figure, he took a deep breath and continued, "Jiang Xiyu, let's talk."

Bai Chengci, who was mistaken for Jiang Xiyu, realized something and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

When Zhou Xi saw him stop, a glimmer of hope welled up in her heart, but when she saw that he didn't turn around, she felt that he was really blaming her.

So, fearing that the other person would be offended, he did not go forward again.

The two were some distance apart.

Zhou Xi rubbed her sore eyes and brows, deliberately softening her tone, and said to him, "Let's talk. I have something I want to tell you."

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed across Bai Chengci's eyes.

It was a kind of indifference hidden beneath one's upbringing, never revealed to anyone, and even carried a hint of hostility.

Before he could turn around, he suddenly heard the person behind him speak, seemingly unable to contain their emotions.

Zhou Xi softened her tone and said, "What happened last night was my fault, including that night in Shenzhen."

"I can make up for all of this. As long as you give me this chance, I promise that what happened last night will not affect you at all. Or whatever you want, I can give you. You can even walk around Haicheng with your head held high from now on..."

"Jiang Xiyu, as long as you forgive me, anything is possible."

The figure remained unmoved, and even the air pressure around him noticeably decreased.

Zhou Xi couldn't help but take half a step forward, but her tone softened, making it impossible to tell whether she was being sincere or not.

He said, "We've known each other for so long and spent so much time together. When have I ever interfered with your relationship? But this time, it's really not okay."

“Bai Chengci is not one of us. You shouldn’t get too involved with him. Even if you’re just playing around, you should break it off.”

"What they can give, I can give you too, and even what they cannot give, I can give."

Xu Yun knew that those people were too constrained by their families, especially Bai Chengci.

Deeper, and what Zhou Xi refused to admit, was his fear that Jiang Xiyu, because of her entanglement with Bai Chengci, might develop the ability to truly break free from him.

Because he knew that Bai Chengci was definitely not as pure and kind as he appeared on the surface.

During that time in Shenzhen, he keenly sensed that Bai Chengci possessed a similar aura.

No matter how polite they appear on the surface, they are equally arrogant and crazy at heart.

People like them, in their positions, are used to possessing and controlling others.

Bai Cheng porcelain is no exception.

However, Jiang Xiyu was such a free spirit that he would not want to be controlled by others. Therefore, Zhou Xi just couldn't understand why Jiang Xiyu would choose Bai Chengci.

Why can they do it, but I can't?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xi unconsciously clenched his teeth.

He stared intently at the figure not far away. Perhaps he hadn't slept all night, his mind was somewhat confused, or perhaps he had lost his composure in this deathly silence. Finally, he could no longer suppress his emotions.

He said, "You should know that my feelings for you are no less than those for any of them."

“I’m willing to give you money, power, and status in front of others, all because… I like you…” Zhou Xi said, her voice trembling slightly as she spoke those unfamiliar words.

It doesn't feel like a confession of love; it's more like a show of vulnerability.

Zhou Xi had never humbled himself like this before.

Having gained power too early, he became accustomed to doing whatever he wanted and to controlling everything.

But Jiang Xiyu was an unexpected turn of events, causing him to feel a sense of helplessness and disorientation for the first time.

Unable to get a response, Zhou Xi finally experienced an unprecedented sense of frustration and dejection.

He couldn't accept Jiang Xiyu's entanglements with others, nor could he accept that Jiang Xiyu could be with anyone but him.

"Give me a chance, and I'll help you solve all of this."

After Zhou Xi finished speaking, he seemed to have lost the patience to wait any longer.

He walked towards the figure in front of him, seemingly wanting to grab his hand.

At this moment, Bai Chengci, who had listened quietly to everything, slowly turned around.

Zhou Xi thus got a clear look into his eyes.

Instead of his usual carefree and unrestrained features, he had a pair of cold, emotionless eyes.

Although he showed no particular emotion, a deep sense of gloom seemed to emanate from the shadow of his hat.

Almost the instant he saw it clearly, Zhou Xi's expression changed drastically, even cracking slightly.

He shouted, "It's you!"

Sensing Zhou Xi's anger and extreme emotions from that roar, Bai Chengci not only showed no fluctuation in her eyes, but also added fuel to the fire of mockery with a calm tone.

"You don't have this chance."

Bai Chengci's words, and the clothes he wore, seemed to be asserting his dominance, slapping Zhou Xi in the face.

Zhou Xi stared intently, the blood vessels in his eyes seemingly about to burst.

Bai Chengci glanced at Zhou Xi, paused for a moment, and said indifferently, "It's a pity that he didn't hear any of what you said."

“Even if he heard it, your feelings…” Bai Chengci’s eyebrows twitched when she said the word “feelings,” and then she slowly gave Zhou Xi her verdict: “He probably wouldn’t care.”

"Right now, he only cares about me. And I can give you the things you mentioned, and even more."

"So, stop bothering him. He won't like you."

One thing is definitely true.

What Zhou Xi can give, Bai Chengci can also give, and can even give rights and freedoms that Zhou Xi cannot.

Zhou Xi understood this clearly, which is why he repeatedly tried to keep Jiang Xiyu away.

Judging from his background, Bai Chengci, a son of an official, is likely to pursue a political career in the future, at which point he will truly surpass everyone else.

With Jiang Xiyu relying on him, it seemed that no one else had a chance.

Zhou Xi realized this, which is why she recklessly exposed their relationship in an attempt to break it up.

"Bai Chengci!" Zhou Xi clenched her fist and stepped forward, unable to contain herself any longer. "Don't go too far."

Seeing that Zhou Xi was furious and about to attack, Bai Chengci did not back down or dodge, but simply said softly, "Is this going too far?"

As she spoke, Bai Chengci slowly raised her hand and pulled open her collar, revealing an ambiguous mark on her collarbone.

They're all adults; they must know what this is.

After Zhou Xi saw it clearly, he suddenly froze on the spot.

Bai Chengci glanced at him for two seconds, then calmly curled her lips and said, "He slept with me."

The tone was casual, as if he had already eaten.

These two sentences shattered Zhou Xi's carefully maintained composure.

But Bai Chengci pretended not to know and asked him, her eyes full of provocation, "How long do you think it will take for this mark to disappear?"
