Chapter 45 p2
He Renyuan took a deep breath, his tone certain, as if trying to convince himself, “According to Yu Jingtian, you saved his grandfather, but his grandfather didn’t have a tea leaf mark, I do, which means our relationship is special.”
Bai Qingyu listened to He Renyuan twisting the facts, “What kind of relationship?”
He Renyuan, “At least cohabitation.”
Bai Qingyu, “I even remember who I saved a hundred years ago—”
He Renyuan lowered his head and kissed him. He knew he wouldn’t like what he was about to say.
Bai Qingyu bit back, but there was no blood, only a treat for He Renyuan.
A long, lingering kiss, making up for the hurt of his Da Hong Pao being drunk and the tea jar being snatched away. It was clearly a gift for him, but an old friend appeared halfway, and it was a topic he brought up himself.
Bai Qingyu blushed. He Renyuan had returned to his aggressive pursuit methods.
Fortunately, he had developed resistance to these methods.
See, he didn’t let He Renyuan succeed with a French kiss this time.
Aggression didn’t work on him.
Bai Qingyu, “I’m going back.”
He left He Renyuan’s company and then remembered that he originally wanted to give He Renyuan tea and tell him that he was going back to his hometown tomorrow.
Should he still specifically mention it? It would seem like he was being pursued by He Renyuan. He had said that the tea deity didn’t report his itinerary to humans.
Forget it, he would say it tomorrow in the car.
On Saturday, Bai Xiaocha didn’t have school, so He Renyuan didn’t barge in to wash diapers, letting the father and son sleep well.
He had a meeting up north today and didn’t want to stay there overnight, so he could only take the high-speed train early.
As soon as he left, Bai Qingyu left with his son.
He transformed back into his ID card appearance and took the high-speed train. This time, he didn’t choose the slow train, but a second-class seat on the high-speed train, which only took a little over three hours.
At Nancheng Station, two high-speed trains stopped on opposite sides of the platform, one going south, one going north. The staff had to use a loudspeaker to remind people not to get on the wrong train.
Bai Qingyu bought a bunch of food and drinks, and might have even been tricked into buying some overpriced health supplements for the elderly, but he and Bai Xiaocha were very happy. They sat by the window, put down the small table, and Bai Qingyu fed Bai Xiaocha tofu pudding.
Bai Xiaocha leaned against his dad, “Uncle Boss isn’t here?”
Bai Qingyu pinched his cheek. Baby, you also forgot the days when Uncle Boss didn’t have food to eat when he came home.
“Uncle Boss has to work and make money.”
Bai Xiaocha nodded, “Oh.”
Bai Qingyu opened his phone, “Baby, tell Uncle Boss that we’re going back to see Grandpa Deng.”
It was the little one reporting, not the tea deity.
Bai Xiaocha, “Okay.”
He Renyuan, with two assistants, just came out of the elevator and was walking towards the northbound high-speed train when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around before entering the gate and saw Bai Qingyu in the window of the train on the opposite platform.
He immediately turned around and ran towards the other side.
“Mr. He, this way is correct.” The assistant hurriedly called out, but the boss seemed to have not heard him. He was dumbfounded, should he get on the train now?
He Renyuan ran into the carriage and heard Cha Bao saying to the phone in a milky voice, “Uncle, Baby is going back to see Grandpa Deng.”
The cold sweat on his back receded, and his rationality returned.
A train attendant happened to pass by. He Renyuan said, “Please change his ticket to business class and add another ticket.”
Bai Qingyu was surprised, “You’re going too?”
He Renyuan wanted to, but he couldn’t miss the meeting, “It’s for Cha Bao, it’s too tiring to hold him all the time.”
“I’ll transfer the money to your WeChat.” He Renyuan didn’t give Bai Qingyu time to object, mainly because the train wouldn’t give him time either.
He was sitting in business class, and his wife and child were squeezed in second class? Fortunately, he didn’t let that happen.
Bai Qingyu carried the little one to the business class seats. It was spacious and less crowded, currently only the two of them, making the sucker stand out even more.
The train slowly started moving. Bai Qingyu looked at the high-speed train on the opposite platform.
Bai Xiaocha, “Uncle is over there, Baby and Dad are here.”
Bai Qingyu, “Baby, you can write poems now.”
Soon, the two trains sped away in opposite directions.
Bai Xiaocha held the tofu pudding and looked around, “Dad, Baby doesn’t have a table to eat on.”
Bai Qingyu, “Dad will hold it for you, second class is more suitable for Baby after all.”
Just as he finished speaking, his WeChat beeped. He Renyuan sent a picture of a similar seat to his, with a foldable table pulled out from the armrests.
He Renyuan: For Cha Bao to eat.
Bai Qingyu pulled out the table. These human tricks to increase prices.
He Renyuan: Ask the attendant for two free meals.
Bai Qingyu’s eyes lit up and he immediately did as he was told, receiving two meals with dishes and soup, “Baby, it’s free!”
Business class had its perks.
Bai Xiaocha, “Free, delicious!”
He Renyuan: If Cha Bao gets sleepy, you can also recline the seat and sleep, so you’ll have energy to chat with Old Man Deng when you get back.
Bai Qingyu replied, “Okay.”
He Renyuan stared at the word “okay,” imagining Bai Qingyu and Cha Bao finally reconciling with business class, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
The assistant beside him shivered. Such an unfamiliar expression.
Bai Qingyu ate the free soup and finished it with Bai Xiaocha. The portion was too big, it would be great if He Renyuan was here.
He looked at the scenery whizzing by outside the window and suddenly remembered something. He sent a message to He Renyuan, “Were you jealous yesterday?”
Otherwise, why would he suddenly mention that someone’s grandfather had two wives? Was he trying to say that it was something to be proud of that he didn’t have a wife?
Bai Qingyu: There’s a parent-teacher meeting at the kindergarten tomorrow, if you have time, please go and listen for me.
He Renyuan was on a business trip to a nearby city, a same-day return. He originally planned to go south directly from the train station, but seeing this message, he had to change his itinerary.
Bai Qingyu asked him to attend Cha Bao’s parent-teacher meeting, a meeting only parents could attend, how could he not go?
If Bai Qingyu didn’t come back tomorrow, he would go find him.
The next day.
He Renyuan tied his tie in front of the mirror, put on a hat and mask, and was called to Cha Bao Restaurant by his father.
“The design drawings are ready, the renovations are about to begin, come and see if there’s anything you want to change.”
“Okay, I still have some time.”
He Renyuan arrived at Cha Bao Restaurant and saw workers carrying in renovation materials.
His father’s love for his grandson went without saying. As a son, he couldn’t find any faults, everything was designed with Cha Bao’s height in mind.
As soon as he entered, there was a machine, which was He Wangzhong’s proudest creation.
“Son, come and see this facial similarity scoring machine, I hired a professional team to make it. I’ve already inputted Cha Bao’s data, you stand here, and it will tell you how much discount you get.”
“Why aren’t you moving?”
He Renyuan thought, I’m afraid you’ll give me a bone fracture discount.
Urged by his father, He Renyuan reluctantly stood in front of the machine, preparing his “who says fathers and sons must look alike” argument.
The next second, the machine announced sweetly, “Congratulations, you get a 30% discount on your meal!”
He Wangzhong laughed heartily, pushed He Renyuan aside, and stood in front of the camera excitedly.
[Congratulations, you get a 70% discount on your meal!]
He Wangzhong beamed, “I’m also benefiting from my grandson!” As if the wool wasn’t coming from his back.
The parent-teacher meeting reminder on He Renyuan’s phone went off. He turned it off, prepared to leave, and commented speechlessly, “You’re really generous.” Giving everyone a discount, very good, giving back to society.
He Wangzhong randomly grabbed an employee, “You try.”
[Sorry, no discount on your meal.]
He Wangzhong was even more delighted, “As expected of my grandson, only I can benefit.”
He Renyuan paused: ???
Wait, who bribed the machine for him? The housekeeper?
