Chapter 1300: Chapter 1297: Did She Behave Herself Today?

At dinnertime, Zi Yunsui and Hua Xiaomo had already returned to the villa. Zi Yunsui was walking in the hall when he saw a maid approaching.

"Where’s the young lady? Was she well-behaved today?" Zi Yunsui asked without thinking.

"Hello, sir. The young lady is in her room. She had breakfast and lunch in there. Per your instructions, she hasn’t come out all day," answered the maid.

"Oh... I’ll go take a look," Zi Yunsui said, then quickly walked up the steps, pausing outside Bai Wei’s room.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock..." He gently knocked on the door.

No one responded.

"Weiwei, Weiwei, open the door, it’s your brother!" Zi Yunsui called out.

Still, there was no response, which was strange to Zi Yunsui. "Where’s the key?" he asked, and the maid by his side handed it over. Zi Yunsui grabbed it, inserted it into the lock, turned it, and pushed the door open, only to be dumbfounded. There was nobody; the entire room was empty.

The maid was also dumbstruck.

"How can that be? How did this happen? The young lady was definitely inside at noon; I even brought her food..." the maid said helplessly.

At this point, Hua Xiaomo also came up and glanced into the room. Then he said, "There’s nothing more for you to do here; you can go back to work." After dismissing the maid, Hua Xiaomo gave Zi Yunsui a sidelong glance. "Zi Yunsui, don’t worry too much. Weiwei must have felt suffocated, so she climbed out the window. She’ll come back soon. Shall I call her?"

Zi Yunsui’s expression was not too good. Lately, Bai Wei’s issues had been increasingly frustrating him. The more he tried to keep her away from certain people, the more she defied him and continued entangling with that person.

"...Hmm." It took a moment for Zi Yunsui to respond, and then he was about to go downstairs.

At this moment, a maid hurriedly approached.

"Sir, ma’am, the young lady, she’s back."

"Oh! Haha, I told you, Weiwei would come back. Come on, let’s go down together," said Hua Xiaomo, gently taking Zi Yunsui’s elbow and walking down the stairs together.

In the main hall, they quickly saw Bai Wei, but even more surprisingly, she had brought someone else back — Qi Longbing.

Zi Yunsui’s face immediately fell, his handsome face turning pale, and Hua Xiaomo’s expression wasn’t good either. Seeing the two holding hands intimately, with Qi Longbing carrying gifts...upon entering together, they seemed to be choking at the throat, producing a feeling that defied expression.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Qi Longbing wanted to see you, so I brought him over... Look, these are gifts he specially chose for you," Bai Wei said slowly, her voice low, concealing some nervousness. Then, with her slender fingers, she took the items from Qi Longbing’s hand and placed them on the table nearby. After all, she hoped they would accept her and Qi Longbing being together.

Zi Yunsui looked at those things, glanced over their faces, and coldly laughed slightly.

"Tell him to take these things back. We don’t need them. Our Bai Family lacks nothing!!" Zi Yunsui replied stiffly. Regarding Qi Longbing, he genuinely couldn’t muster any fondness. Forced pleasantries now felt like breathing in murky air, suffocatingly uncomfortable.

Once he finished speaking, a shadow fell over Qi Longbing’s handsome face. Still, he maintained his composure, saying nothing.

"Brother, why must you be like this?" Bai Wei asked, somewhat displeased, her charming face flushed red with anger.

Noticing the tense atmosphere, Hua Xiaomo thought, oh, given the situation, what can be said? Nothing would be right.

Hua Xiaomo slightly walked over to them, gently tugged Bai Wei’s hand.

"Weiwei, your brother is just teasing you. Since it’s someone you like, we won’t oppose it. As long as you’re happy," Hua Xiaomo soothed the tension in the middle.

Hearing this, Bai Wei immediately smiled broadly.

"Sister-in-law, are you serious?" Bai Wei asked with some doubt, glancing at her, then looking at Zi Yunsui. Honestly, she didn’t quite believe her words. Her brother, such a stubborn person, could he possibly accept Qi Longbing...

"Of course, when has your sister-in-law ever lied to you..." Hua Xiaomo laughed, her bright eyes smartly turning, then leaned towards her ear softly whispering, "Your brother has already agreed..."

This sentence brought Bai Wei overwhelming joy, immediately wrapping Hua Xiaomo’s elbow, expressing her gratitude through a hug.

"Wonderful sister-in-law, I knew you were the best." Bai Wei said emotionally, her heart feeling sweet like honey.

"Silly girl, don’t just thank me, there’s your brother too!" Hua Xiaomo teased. Then she signaled her.

Bai Wei then realized, hurriedly dashed by Zi Yunsui’s side, grabbed his arm, gazing up at his handsome face.

"Good brother, thank you. Bai Wei is truly blessed to have such an understanding brother like you. I’m so happy... Brother, you look better when you smile, smile for me," Bai Wei playfully said, her small face radiant like sunshine.

"You! What are you saying... When have I not been understanding?" Zi Yunsui couldn’t help but smile and ask. Only then did he relax his eyebrows, then embraced her shoulder, his handsome face beaming, slowly sighing, "Girls grow up and can’t be kept! Brother is reluctant to let you go!"

"That’s okay, I can often come back to see you!" Bai Wei smiled sweetly, revealing a set of pearly white teeth.

At this time, Hua Xiaomo also approached them, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

"Alright, let’s not talk about that now. We can’t keep the guest waiting, can we? Let’s eat. Aunt Huang, serve the meal," Hua Xiaomo said with a smile, then took Bai Wei’s small hand, subtly signaling her, which Bai Wei understood. Instantly, she hurried to Qi Longbing’s side, took his elbow, and they went to the dining room together.

For the first time, the four of them sat together for dinner. During the meal, Qi Longbing said very little, watching the family of three joyfully, feeling rather envious inside, especially when seeing Hua Xiaomo’s gentle and happy demeanor, inexplicably arousing a sense of bitterness within him. When she was with him, he rarely saw her so relaxed. Hmph! Did she like that man so much?

How did he measure against Zi Yunsui, in any aspect? Zi Yunsui was nothing more than a fool, while he, Qi Longbing, was the true dragon among dragons. And yet, Hua Xiaomo, being someone who couldn’t appreciate, chose to abandon the dragon for the worm! Truly shameful!!
