Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 313 - 146 Li Yuan: In a Crisis, Is My Father-in-law Coming to Chop Me with a Knife?_4

Chapter 313: Chapter 146 Li Yuan: In a Crisis, Is My Father-in-law Coming to Chop Me with a Knife?_4

Li Yuan gently massaged Zhong Tingyue’s soft, smooth hands. They were long and slender, flawless and pale—perfect for a hand model, and they felt wonderful to the touch.

"Little Moon, so you agree? I want to..."

Facing Li Yuan’s expectant gaze, Zhong Tingyue shyly nodded.

"Little Moon, you’re so sweet. Come, let your husband give you a kiss."

Li Yuan laughed heartily, his heart suddenly filled with anticipation. He was also eager to test the suspension performance of the Porsche 911 and the BMW X6 with Zhong Tingyue. Based on last night’s battle, it would surely be thrilling.

...

Elsewhere, Bai Weixi had initially planned to show her parents around the school. However, after the interlude with the sports car and at Yang Jinyu’s strong insistence, they decided to try it out first.

The family of three took a taxi to the Emerald Mansion residential complex.

Emerald Mansion was also an upscale community with good landscaping and property management, and it even had a row of townhouses.

Seeing their daughter enter the complex with such familiarity, Yang Jinyu and Bai Tianqi exchanged a glance. They were now certain that their precious daughter had likely taken that final step with Li Yuan.

Yang Jinyu coughed lightly and, holding Bai Weixi’s hand, asked, "Baby, is the apartment Li Yuan bought in this complex?"

Bai Weixi nodded. "Yes, it’s this building on my right." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Yang Jinyu scrutinized the building. It was only twelve stories high, and judging by the large glass balconies, all the units were spacious.

Hesitating for a moment, Yang Jinyu tentatively inquired, "Baby, is Li Yuan home?"

Bai Weixi shook her head. "He has something at the company. He might not be back until very late tonight."

Bai Tianqi asked in surprise, "The company? Is it his family’s business?"

"Dad, I’m not sure, but I don’t think it’s his family’s." Bai Weixi wasn’t clear on what Li Yuan did at the company every day, and she hadn’t asked much about it.

Bai Tianqi gave a soft "oh," then added a reminder, "Xixi, you should pay more attention to Li Yuan. Get to know his family situation; don’t be so naive."

"I know, Dad," Bai Weixi replied with a smiling nod.

Yang Jinyu asked another question, "Baby, do Li Yuan’s parents live here?"

Bai Weixi, though puzzled, patiently explained, "His parents aren’t in Modu. It’s just Li Yuan and me living here..."

Her voice trailed off as she stole a glance at her parents. Seeing that they didn’t appear to have heard her, she let out a secret sigh of relief. She had been bracing herself for their reprimands and getting her explanations ready.

Yang Jinyu and Bai Tianqi exchanged another look, this time with wry, helpless smiles. Li Yuan had given their precious daughter a sports car worth over seven hundred thousand yuan. Only a fool would believe they hadn’t become intimate. It was an obvious fact, but they were simply too embarrassed to bring it up again.

"Baby, do you have the key to the apartment? I’d like to take a look inside."

"The key?" Bai Weixi paused, then quickly replied, "The door has a keypad lock."

"Mom, you want to see the apartment now? Not the car?"

Yang Jinyu smiled. "Let’s see the apartment first. We can look at the car later."

"Okay." Bai Weixi nodded, a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach. What would she do if her parents saw the signs of them living together?

Bai Weixi thought to herself, There’s nothing to be done. What’s happened has happened. The worst I’ll get is a lecture.

"Mom, Dad, follow me."

The elevators in this complex were private, opening directly into each unit and offering excellent privacy. Li Yuan’s apartment was on the east side of the ninth floor.

Bai Weixi expertly entered her birthday on the keypad lock. Li Yuan had changed the code for her after they made their relationship official.

"Mom, Dad, come on in."

Yang Jinyu and Bai Tianqi followed her nervously into the apartment. On the shoe rack in the entryway, they immediately saw a pair of men’s slippers and two pairs of women’s slippers.

Just as we thought. Our daughter is already living with Li Yuan.

The couple exchanged a look and, without betraying any emotion, turned their attention to the apartment’s layout.

Bai Weixi nervously poured juice for them. "Dad, Mom, have some juice."

"Just leave it there. I’m not thirsty."

The more Yang Jinyu looked, the more amazed she became. The apartment was much better than she had imagined, with its spacious living room, huge balcony, and an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling windows.

After looking around, Yang Jinyu was very satisfied. "Baby, this apartment is really nice. It must be quite large and have cost a lot."

Bai Weixi explained nervously, "Mom, this apartment is about 160 square meters. It has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a kitchen. I’m not sure exactly how much it cost."

"One hundred sixty square meters is quite large. That’s much bigger than the apartment your eldest uncle bought in Modu," Yang Jinyu remarked.

Bai Weixi asked, puzzled, "Mom, my eldest uncle?"

Yang Jinyu looked embarrassed. There were some family matters she hadn’t told Bai Weixi about, afraid they would affect her studies. Because of issues in her own marriage, she’d had a huge falling out with her parents and had all but severed her relationship with her father. However, she was still on good terms with her two older brothers, having grown up and stayed in contact with them.

"Your eldest uncle bought an apartment in Modu a couple of years ago and settled here. I’ll take you to meet him in a few days."

Bai Weixi nodded, showing little joy or anticipation. She wasn’t familiar with her maternal grandmother’s side of the family.

Seeing her daughter looking somewhat dazed, Yang Jinyu suddenly asked, "Baby, is your name on the deed to this apartment?"

Bai Tianqi coughed sharply, glaring at Yang Jinyu. That question was rather inappropriate.
