The doorbell rang, and Bai Qi remembered something important. She pushed the man away in a panic. “Zhou Yao, Sileng is here. Let go of me!”

Zhou Yao frowned when he heard Sileng’s name. “Why is he here?”

He was unhappy that his own son had ruined his plans. But he was still mindful of his son, so he slowly and unwillingly let go of Bai Qi.

Bai Qi immediately jumped down from the table and tidied up her clothes. She glared at the man. “What are you saying? The question should be what are you doing here, not what is Sileng doing here.”

Zhou Yao’s face darkened. “How dare you talk back to me!”

Bai Qi found it funny. She raised the corners of her lips provocatively. “Who are you lecturing? I’m not Sileng. Do you think you’re my dad?”

Zhou Yao’s tightly knitted sword-like brows relaxed at once. He smiled sinisterly and said, “You can call me dad if you like.”

“You…”

“Also, what’s wrong with me lecturing you? Have I lectured you less in the past? If Sileng is disobedient, I’ll spank his butt. If you’re disobedient in the future, I’ll inject a rod into your butt,” Zhou Yao said as he wildly tied the metal belt on his waist.

Bai Qi’s small face turned red. What was he saying?

Did he know no shame?

Bai Qi didn’t want to talk to him. She turned around and went to open the door.

Zhou Yao glanced at her back, then reluctantly looked away. He bent down and picked up the red rope necklace that had fallen on the ground.

After dusting off the necklace, he tied the red rope back to his neck.

Just as he finished tying it, he heard the mother and son behind him saying, “Sileng, you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

“Bai Qi, is this your home? I’ve been excited for the whole day. I’ve been waiting to come to visit you. Bai Qi, you’re amazing.”

The conversation between these two was so jarring to Zhou Yao’s ears. It was really strange. In the past, the two of them also talked like this. He did not feel anything back then, but now he was secretly unhappy.

That woman was cold and ruthless to him, but she treated Sileng with a completely different persona. And that little guy, how could Zhou Yao not know what he was thinking? He wanted to flirt with his father’s woman!

Zhou Yao did not take a fancy to this little competitor, but Bai Qi’s one-eighty difference in treatment made him gloomy.

Mother Zhou’s voice also came. “Ms. Bai, sorry to trouble you…”

“Auntie, it’s no trouble at all. You can always bring Sileng to my place to play in the future. Come, Auntie. Sileng, come in quickly.”

“Okay.” Zhou Sileng jumped in with a smile.

However, the moment he entered, the smile on Zhou Sileng’s face froze. He looked at the tall figure standing in the room. It was as if he was a pine tree that could not be ignored. He moved his small mouth in a daze. “Dad… Daddy, why are you… here?”

Zhou Yao placed one hand in his pocket and glanced at his son. He lifted his thin lips. “Do you want me to answer you?”

Zhou Sileng became depressed. What did he say? He and daddy simply could not communicate!

Bai Qi could not bear to see Zhou Yao treat her son like this. She turned her head and glared at the man. What did he mean by that? Could he not speak properly? What’s with him trying to play cool?

Zhou Yao looked at the woman’s displeasure and satisfaction and coolly averted his gaze.

However, the woman’s gaze remained on his face. The man’s hand in the pocket twitched. Well, they had just reunited, so he did not want to make her angry.

“I’m here for business reasons,” Zhou Yao looked at Zhou Sileng and explained briefly.

Actually, Zhou Sileng wanted to ask what kind of business he was doing, but he decided against it. Today, his father actually answered his question. He was so… flattered.

Mother Zhou also found it strange that Zhou Yao was here. To be honest, if someone told her that Zhou Yao and a certain woman were in a jewelry store or a hotel, she wouldn’t be surprised at all. But today, he came to Bai Qi’s private residence, this was the same concept as when Zhou Yao brought a woman home one day.

Mother Zhou always felt that something was going on between Zhou Yao and Bai Qi, for she was not as naive as Zhou Sileng. Mother Zhou glanced at the two of them and then saw the corner of Zhou Yao’s broken lips. She had been there before, with one glance, she knew that Zhou Yao’s lips had been bitten by a woman.

Who else could this woman be?

It could only be Bai Qi.

Bai Qi walked into the kitchen. “Sileng, are you hungry? I’ve already prepared the ingredients. I’ll cook something delicious for you now, okay?”

“Okay, okay.” Zhou Sileng cheered.

“Auntie, you stay and eat too.”

Mother Zhou nodded. “Okay, I’ll try Ms. Bai’s cooking today.”

The woman entered the kitchen. The grandma and the grandson pair were so lively that Zhou Yao didn’t seem to fit in. He was completely ignored. He coughed and said, “I’ll eat here too.”

Zhou Sileng was very surprised when he heard that. He wanted to say something, but Zhou Yao gave him a look. The meaning behind the look was very simple… Shut up!

Mother Zhou chuckled. “Alright, then let’s get Ms. Bai to add another set of bowls and chopsticks…”

At this moment, Bai Qi poked her head out from the kitchen. She looked at Zhou Yao and shrugged apologetically. “I’m sorry, the meal is ready. I only prepared enough food for three people.”

Zhou Yao’s handsome face darkened completely. Was she asking him to leave?

Zhou Yao immediately turned his head and glanced at Mother Zhou.

Ms. Zhou said, “Hehe, Ms. Bai, I won’t be eating here. I’ll go back first. Zhou Yao and Sileng are eating here. There is just enough food for you guys. Once they’re done eating, Zhou Yao can take Sileng home.”

“Auntie…”

“Okay, it’s settled. Ms. Bai, I’ll go first.” It seemed that someone was chasing after Mother Zhou, she turned around and ran away.

Bai Qi didn’t know how to react.

This time, Zhou Yao was satisfied. He spread his long legs and sat on the only sofa in the living room. There was a newspaper on the coffee table. He casually picked it up and focused on the reading. Bai Qi glanced at his two long legs that stretched forward, he was obviously the one who shamelessly stayed behind. But she somehow sensed an air of condescension from him.

She glared at him fiercely. B*stard!

Zhou Yao didn’t even need to raise his head to know that she was cursing him under her breath. He didn’t care. At this time, the sofa sank in more beside him. Zhou Sileng’s crisp and tender voice sounded, “Daddy, why are you staying here?”

“What’s wrong?” He asked.

“Tonight is my time alone with Bai Qi. Don’t you think it’s wrong for you to stay and freeload? You’re already a huge third wheel.” Zhou Sileng felt very wronged.

Zhou Yao snorted in his heart. He really wanted to tell this little guy to give up already. That’s your mommy…

However, he felt that the time was not right. He did not raise his head and simply replied, “How about… I bring you home now?”

Zhou Sileng said nothing more.

Humph, you win!

Bai Qi brought out three dishes and a soup to the table and the three of them sat down to eat.
