Chapter 457 - 389: Bai Yue! You’re Busted

"He’s really ugly!" Bai Yue clutched her phone, afraid they would snatch it away.

Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Qiu Yue said nervously, "Is he really that ugly? It’s okay, let us see. Is he a classmate of yours?"

Bai Yue nodded. "A high school classmate."

Bai Yang frowned. "You two started dating in high school? Where does he go to school?"

"No way! We only made it official after the college entrance exams. He goes to school in Rongcheng! Ugh, you’ll find out eventually, so stop asking! I’m not showing you even if you do."

Hearing her daughter say this, Qiu Yue dropped the idea. In her mind, Bai Yue was still young, and her future was full of uncertainty, unlike Bai Jun, who was already planning for his.

After dinner, Bai Jun secretly sidled up to Bai Yue and said with a sly grin, "Bai Yue, my dear sister! Can you let me see what your boyfriend looks like? You know I can keep a secret! I definitely won’t tell anyone!"

Bai Yue glanced at Qiu Yue and Lin Xiaohong, who were clearing the table, and whispered, "I can let you have a peek, but you absolutely can’t tell them. Especially my dad—he can’t know right now!"

Bai Jun patted his chest and nodded repeatedly, giving her a ’you-can-trust-me’ look.

So, Bai Yue unlocked her phone right in front of Bai Jun, opened her "My Favorites" album, and a full-body picture of Wu Yun leaning against a balcony railing appeared.

"Holy shit, isn’t that Wu Yun?! Where did you get this picture? Stop messing with me! Show me the real one!" Bai Jun exclaimed, then immediately lowered his voice.

Seeing that Bai Jun didn’t believe the photo was real, Bai Yue understood. After all, Wu Yun was a semi-public figure, so it made sense for Bai Jun to think she’d just downloaded it from the internet.

Bai Yue rolled her eyes. "Believe it or not. I showed you."

"I won’t believe it unless you show me a picture of you two together!"

As soon as Bai Jun finished speaking, Bai Yue’s phone buzzed. The caller ID read "Ah Yun."

Bai Yue made a hushing gesture at Bai Jun, then took her phone into her room, closing the door behind her.

"Ah Yun, what’s up?"

Wu Yun’s chuckle came through the phone. "Hehe, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"There you go again! Can’t you be serious for once? If you keep this up, I’ll tell my dad about you!" Bai Yue threatened, though she secretly enjoyed his antics. "Hold on, let me guess the bad news first!"

"Hmm..." Bai Yue flopped onto her back on the soft bed, stretched languidly, and then rolled over before speaking. "I bet the bad news is that you can’t come tomorrow, right?"

Wu Yun replied in a silly voice, "You really are the roundworm in my belly!"

"You wanna die?! Where am I fat? Where am I fat?!" Bai Yue writhed on the bed, subconsciously pinching her waist and stomach to check for flab.

"You stinky Ah Yun! Just wait until you get here, I’m gonna bite you to death!" Bai Yue huffed.

Wu Yun, holding his phone, got into a black Mercedes before replying, "When you say ’bite,’ is that a compound word?"

Bai Yue froze for a second, then her face flushed as she laughingly cursed, "You’re such a pervert!"

"Hmm... If your good news is satisfying enough, I don’t mind making ’bite’ a compound word!"

Wu Yun’s excited voice came through the line, "Then you’d better listen closely! The bad news is I’m not coming to the Capital City tomorrow. The good news is I’m already on my way to the Capital City right now, I just got in the car! I’ll come pick you up in a bit!"

"Really?! If you’re lying to me, see if I don’t give you a piece of my mind when you get here!" Bai Yue said, feigning indignation.

"I’m not lying. Want to come over to my place tonight?" Wu Yun’s voice was filled with excitement and anticipation.

But for a long moment, Wu Yun heard no response from Bai Yue, only some mumbling.

"What’s wrong? Is tonight not a good time?" Wu Yun asked.

Bai Yue said irritably, "Isn’t it your fault! You were the one who said not to tell my dad and the others you’re my boyfriend yet. Otherwise, I could just walk right out. Now look, I have to come up with an excuse!"

"Plus, my uncle and his family are here, and my mom booked a table at a restaurant for my birthday tomorrow night. I have even less of an idea what excuse to use!"

Then Wu Yun heard Bai Yue laugh. "But, you know, they all know I have a boyfriend now. I even told them he’s super ugly and not presentable!"

Wu Yun sighed and said, "I just think it would be awkward for both of us if I ran into your dad. Just imagine: the client you need to suck up to suddenly becomes your father-in-law. What kind of scene would that be?!"

But women focus on different things than men. All he heard was Bai Yue saying, "Pah! Since when did my dad get a son-in-law like you?! I haven’t even agreed to marry you yet!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don’t get sidetracked! We’re talking about how you’re going to get out of the house tonight!" Seeing that Bai Yue was about to go on another tangent, Wu Yun quickly cut her off.

So, the two of them schemed on the phone for a few minutes and finally decided she would say she was going out for dinner and a movie with a classmate and would be sleeping in her dorm.

Bai Yue hung up the phone, straightened her clothes, and walked out.

As soon as she stepped out, she saw Qiu Yue and Lin Xiaohong sitting on the sofa, deep in conversation.

When Bai Jun saw Bai Yue come out, a mischievous grin appeared on his face.

"Yueyue! Who were you on the phone with for over half an hour?! Was it that boyfriend of yours?" Lin Xiaohong asked curiously.

Bai Yue shot Bai Jun a fierce glare before saying, "It was him, but then I got a call from my college classmate!"

"Mom! You remember Lei Lei, right? She’s from out of province, so she didn’t go home for the break. I’m going out to eat with her tonight, and we’re going to see a movie afterward! I won’t be back tonight; I’ll just sleep at the school!"
