After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

"Bai Yu... will you... come back?"

Even when she shouted at the top of her lungs, her voice didn't have much penetrating power, but Bai Yu still heard it.

Standing by the car door, Bai Yu looked up at Su Rongxue standing on the villa and smiled slightly. A breeze blew through her hair and she called out firmly.

"Yes, definitely."

Chapter 141 Could she be being kept by a sugar daddy?

As I got into the car, I looked back at the scenery I had come from, and the people and landscapes before me seemed to be rushing past.

Even though this separation from Su Rongxue wouldn't be long, Bai Yu still felt a strong sense of reluctance, a feeling stemming from their separation in the previous life. However, he knew very well that he and Su Rongxue would not repeat the regrets of their past life.

Standing at the airport entrance, watching the departing cars and the vast square, the scorching sun shone on Bai Yu's face, a gentle breeze ruffled the hair on her forehead, and a familiar figure was reflected in her clear eyes.

The figure was none other than Lin Ying's half-brother, Fujiwara Ishizo.

Bai Yu was stunned when she saw him, and stood there dumbfounded, while Fujiwara Ishio did not see him.

However, these are not what Bai Yu is worried about now. What he is worried about is why Fujiwara Ishizo came to the capital and why he happened to run into him.

With a slight frown, Bai Yu watched Fujiwara Ishizo and his group leave in the distance. Lin Ying came to mind, and she wondered if this guy had come to the country to find her.

Reaching into his pants pocket, Bai Yu took out his phone and dialed Lin Ying's number.

Bai Yu quickly dialed the number, and Lin Ying always answered his calls very quickly as long as her phone was with her.

"Bai Yujun?"

The first thing I heard after the call connected was Lin Ying's gentle, soothing voice.

"Boss lady, I'm planning to come back today. I'm already at the airport. I'll call you to let you know. Also... I shouldn't arrive until after 1 or 2 pm. Could you make me braised beef for dinner then?"

Bai Yu originally wanted to say that he had seen Fujiwara Ishizo in the capital, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt it was better not to say it.

For Lin Ying, her environment since childhood has been very bad. If she has to worry about all sorts of things after returning to China with him, then he would be a terrible man.

"I'm waiting for you at home, I'll cook for you."

Hearing Lin Ying's gentle voice, Bai Yu looked up again at Fujiwara Ishizo, who had already walked away and disappeared. He had already made up his mind.

This time, I met Fujiwara Ishizo. If this guy is just here in the capital for fun or business, that's fine. But if he's here to find Lin Ying, then when we arrive in the North City, we must not let him leave easily. We must make him remember whose territory this is and that he has no right to take Lin Ying away.

Taking a deep breath to calm his resentment towards Fujiwara Ishizo, he smiled and said to Lin Ying.

"Oh, by the way, boss lady, I brought you some specialties from the capital. Can you guess what they are?"

"Did Bai Yujun bring this for me?"

"Right, if it wasn't for you, who else would it be for?"

"Si Yu".

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's smile froze instantly, and her expression turned awkward for a moment.

He could hear the grievance contained in Lin Ying's short "Si Yu".

"Boss lady, I know that everything I'm doing right now is unfair to any of you. I don't want to make up those high-sounding reasons to say how helpless I am anymore. Repeatedly recounting my helplessness will only make you ignore your pain. Right now, all I can do and all I want to do is give you my best, is that okay?"

Bai Yu knew that Lin Ying would definitely not object to his bold and absurd behavior, but he still didn't want her to suffer any injustice. If she did, she had to tell him, and he would do everything he could to resolve the issue.

"Bai Yujun, if one day you suddenly start to dislike me, please remember what I said. You may be able to leave my world very easily, but you will never be able to leave my thoughts. I humbly admit that I really can't live without you."

Her gentle voice was soft and soothing, and with the added touch of the language of the island nation, it sounded even more beautiful and pleasant.

However, aside from Lin Ying's pleasant voice, Bai Yu was most concerned about the low mood in her words at this moment.

"Why would you say that? It's impossible for me to dislike you. You know that better than anyone. I brought you into my world, how could I possibly leave and choose to dislike you?"

Is that so?

A questioning voice came from behind, and Bai Yu responded with a soft "hmm".

"Yes, that's right."

"It seems so. Bai Yujun is really humorous. So I've been in your world all along?"

"Yes, I like the cherry blossom tree in the forest, and I later named it Shirakaba Sakura."

"Pfft~"

Bai Yu's rather charming confession immediately amused Lin Ying. Her light laughter was soft, but one could hear the joy in her voice.

"I'm going to the airport to board my plane now. We'll talk again when I get back later. Bye-bye."

"Okay, see you tonight."

Hearing Bai Yu hang up the phone, Lin Ying stood up from the sofa and walked to the balcony. Looking down from upstairs, the bustling traffic in the distance felt very unfamiliar to her, but even this unfamiliar environment was much better than what she had experienced in the small island nation.

She never easily said goodbye to Bai Yu, so she always chose to say "see you tonight" because that way they would definitely meet. If it was "see you again," she was afraid that it would be the last time they would see each other.

Although the probability of this is very, very low, and it won't be like in the previous life where we would never see each other again after meeting, I'm still very, very scared.

Bai Yu's flight home took quite a long time; we waited for him from boarding the plane in the capital in the morning until he finally got off at 2:30 pm.

Just as he got off the plane and got into his car to head to Si Yu's neighborhood, Su Rongxue called.

"Bai Yu, you...have you arrived?"

"I arrived and you called as soon as I stepped out of the airport. I was going to call you on my way home in a taxi, hahaha."

Standing by the wardrobe in her room, Su Rongxue called Bai Yu not because she had anything to say, but simply to find out if he had arrived at his destination safely.

Now that she heard the news of Baiyi's arrival, she felt relieved.

Of course, more importantly, Su Rongxue was afraid that Bai Yu's departure would be like her previous life, disappearing forever.

"It's good that we've arrived..."

"Okay, I'm going to walk to the square to hail a taxi. When you're at home by yourself, be careful. Eat more meals and don't snack all the time. It'll really affect your health, understand?"

Okay, I got it.

"Okay, I'll hang up now. Can I call a taxi using my phone?"

"Ah."

After giving a soft "hmm," Su Rongxue didn't hang up immediately, but waited for Bai Yu to hang up instead.

Looking at the phone call that hadn't ended yet, Bai Yu didn't know why Su Rongxue wasn't hanging up, so she smiled and said...

"What's wrong, Xiaoxue? Is something the matter?"

"No...that's all~"

The girl's soft voice was as beautiful as a painting, but it also made Bai Yu both amused and exasperated. The main reason was that the girl's "That's all~" at this moment had a very cute little girl vibe.

"If you don't have it, just hang up."

Because Su Rongxue's voice was very sweet, Bai Yu subconsciously lowered her own voice considerably.

"I think... you should hang up first."

"Can't you hang up? Why do I have to?"

Bai Yu's words were not wrong, but Su Rongxue interpreted them differently.

"Don't just say 'hang up'... we said 'hang up the phone'... not 'hang up'..."

"Okay, okay, hang up now, can you hang up first?"

Seeing that Bai Yu insisted that she hang up first, Su Rongxue could only obediently say "okay" and then hang up.

Bai Yu reached out and looked at the phone that had been hung up on. Just as she was about to put her phone back in her pocket, her mother suddenly called.

Staring at the call notification from her mother on her phone screen, Bai Yu answered and immediately heard her mother's familiar voice on the other end.

"Bai Yu, you've been back in the country all this time, have you quietly forgotten about your parents, or do you intend to live outside and never come home?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's smile froze instantly.

That makes sense. Ever since he returned from the island nation, he hasn't been home at all, not even once has he made a phone call to his parents, let alone visited them.

Actually, he had his own reasons for this. In his previous life, he always said that his parents were right and that there was nothing wrong with them. He also admitted that he had made a serious mistake. But deep down, he always harbored a shadow and a little bit of grievance.

It was this slight sense of grievance that made him unwilling to go back and see his parents.

If other people's children make such mistakes, they might just get a beating or scolding, or even a severe beating or scolding would be normal. But to have your parents kick you out of the house like this is probably the first time you've ever had one.

However, from an outsider's perspective, Bai Yu was kicked out of his home not because it was his first offense, but because he repeatedly crossed his parents' bottom line.

To put it another way, which parent would want their daughter to meet a scumbag who cheats on them with multiple women? Probably none. It's not that Bai Yu's parents didn't want to side with him, but other parents had witnessed everything. Could they continue to protect him after one or two instances of favoritism?

Even if Bai Yu knew that his behavior was wrong, and his parents had given him a chance, by then he had no way back. What else could he do?

Turning her head to look at the blazing sun outside the window, Bai Yu didn't immediately respond to her mother's words, but instead chose to remain silent.

"Hey, why aren't you saying anything? Your mom's asking when you're coming back, did you hear her?"

Hearing her mother's slightly anxious and somewhat angry words on the phone, Bai Yu finally snapped out of her thoughts and slowly replied.

"Okay, Mom. I'll come back two days later, is that alright?"

"You're coming back after two days of fun? How much longer are you going to stay out there? You've been back for at least a week or two, haven't you?"

Bai Yu reached up and covered her forehead, realizing that her mother's mishearing was quite something, so she quickly explained.

"It's not two days of vacation, it's two nights and I'll be back. What kind of talk is this?"

"Oh, that won't do either. School's about to start, and you're coming back a few days late. Aren't you planning to come back and talk to your dad about Su Rongxue and what happened between you?"

Bai Yu pursed her lips, knowing full well that she needed to talk to her parents about this, but there was no use in rushing. What she needed to do now was to see Si Yu and Lin Ying and put their minds at ease.

"You can come back in two days, and I'll talk to you properly then. We won't discuss these things over the phone, okay?"

"Hey, you said you'd do something, so now your parents want to know more about you and you're getting impatient?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu thought that her mother must be going through menopause. How could she retort with three sentences after she said just a few?

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I meant that we should sit down and have a proper chat after I get back. Right now, I just got off the plane from the capital and I'm feeling a bit carsick in the car, so we can't talk on the phone. That's what I meant."

"Just got back from the capital? Did you come back from that girl Su Rongxue's house?"

"Correct."

With her eyes closed, Bai Yu felt genuinely dizzy, not just from the car ride, but also because of her mother.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming back? You could have just had your dad pick you up. Oh, right, you're actually back, so why aren't you going home? Where are you going?"
