On the way, Bai Jinghong cleared his throat and deliberately asked, “By the way, I still don’t know your name?”
Yun Mengxi, a bit shy, said softly, “Yun Mengxi.”
“Yun Mengxi? You’re the Yun Mengxi from Cloud Dream Tech? Hearing about you isn’t as good as meeting you! I finally meet the person herself!” Bai Jinghong feigned surprise.
Yun Mengxi just smiled.
Bai Jinghong continued, “I heard about your reputation a long time ago. I’m sure you’ve probably heard of me too, right?”
“I’m Bai Jinghong, the famously spendthrift playboy of Dragon Sea!”
“To be honest, after hearing about your achievements back then, I couldn’t resist starting my own tech company. Do you know what I called it?”
Yun Mengxi was quite surprised he’d introduce himself like that, but still asked curiously, “What is it?”
Bai Jinghong chuckled. “My tech company is called ‘Daydream’.”
“Daydream? Why that name of all things?”
The next second, Yun Mengxi suddenly caught on. Her face flushed instantly red. She quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Bai Jinghong. [“Daydream” is Bai Ri Meng (白日梦). “Bai” = Bai Jinghong’s surname, “Ri” = slang for fuck, “Meng” = Yun Mengxi’s surname.”Bai fucks Meng”]
This guy, just as the rumors said, was a little rogue, a big lecher.
Seeing Yun Mengxi’s embarrassment, Bai Jinghong was laughing to himself.
“Oh, right, what exactly happened to you? How did you end up in such a state?”
Upon mentioning this, Yun Mengxi shuddered. “I… I don’t really know what happened. These bad guys just attacked me out of nowhere!”
“They smashed all the glass in the villa and looked like they were trying to climb in!”
“I was so scared I just ran out. As for who attacked me, I still don’t know.”
How could Yun Mengxi possibly imagine that the mastermind behind the attack was sitting right beside her?
“I see. That does sound bizarre. Did you offend someone? Or run into some strange person?”
“I’ve heard of things like this. Apparently, some perverts will actively target a loner, acting cultured and refined to attract a woman, or to strike up an acquaintance.”
“Then, when the person leaves, they secretly tail them, cause some trouble, and then stage a ‘hero saving the beauty’ scene to win them over! Ah, there are lots of perverts out there.”
Hearing Bai Jinghong say this, Yun Mengxi instantly thought of the Ye Chen she met that evening.
Yun Mengxi was now almost deeply certain that it must have been Ye Chen’s doing.
Otherwise, how could there be so many coincidences in the world?
She’d lived over twenty years without incident. The moment she met Ye Chen, huge trouble arrived.
Besides, during the conversation among those glass-smashers, the name “Mr. Ye Chen” was mentioned.
Having confirmed her suspicion, Yun Mengxi secretly clenched her fists. That hypocrite, so disgusting! This grudge must be avenged.
The car continued speeding along.
This time, Bai Jinghong truly delivered Yun Mengxi to her parents’ house, completely intact, without doing anything untoward.
When Yun Mengxi got out of the car, she suddenly felt intense pain in her feet.
An involuntary cry of pain escaped her lips.
Seeing this, Bai Jinghong got out from the other side. Reaching Yun Mengxi, without a word, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the villa.
Yun Mengxi truly never expected Bai Jinghong to do that.
But her parents were already asleep, so she didn’t dare cry out and silently endured it.
After entering the passcode and stepping inside the villa, Bai Jinghong asked, “You have a first-aid kit at home, right?”
Yun Mengxi nodded. “Thank you. I can manage myself!”
“Alright then. Apply some iodine to disinfect the cuts. I’ll be off now!”
Finishing his words, Bai Jinghong turned and left directly.
He deliberately didn’t take back the jacket he’d draped over Yun Mengxi.
This was another one of his schemes.
If the other party kept his clothing, she’d surely find a chance to contact him to return it. That would be a second encounter.
Anyway, his number wasn’t hard to find. If she wanted it, she could easily get it.
Watching Bai Jinghong’s car disappear into the distance, Yun Mengxi’s face lifted into a smile.
It was true: outside rumors couldn’t be trusted. Bai Jinghong was actually a warm-hearted person!
After such a harrowing experience, she was incredibly grateful to Bai Jinghong.
As for Bai Jinghong after he left, the first thing he did was head to his club for a drink. Today was a great day!
By the time he got home, Bai Jinghong was already a bit tipsy.
With Ah Kun’s support, Bai Jinghong entered the villa.
But Ah Kun didn’t come inside.
Bai Jinghong’s steps were unsteady. He muttered to himself, “Damn, being buzzed feels so good. Walking feels all wobbly, just like being on the Oscar red carpet!”
“Ah, whose room shall I grace tonight?”
After thinking it over, Bai Jinghong headed towards Shen Yaoyao’s room.
The four women weren’t sleeping together anymore these days because they had a bet going, seeing whose room Bai Jinghong would visit more often.
So, each of them had her own room.
Bai Jinghong tiptoed silently into Shen Yaoyao’s room.
From a distance, he saw that graceful figure wrapped in a bathrobe sitting on the edge of the bed.
A towel was draped over her head, the room fragrant with her scent, as she was drying her damp, beautiful hair.
She hadn’t noticed Bai Jinghong stealthily approaching from behind.
With a wicked grin, Bai Jinghong pounced swiftly, wrapping her in his arms.
“Baby, you missed me, right?”
As he said this, Bai Jinghong immediately started kissing her neck, his hand reaching inside to boldly scale the peaks.
Then he kissed his way to her ear.
The next second, the woman in his arms let out a shriek.
It was that single shriek that completely sobered Bai Jinghong up…
Then, a thunderbolt exploded in his mind.
When he saw her unbelievably beautiful face straight on, Bai Jinghong’s entire being went blank.
“Sis… you… what are you doing here…”
“Is this… not Yaoyao’s room…”
Bai Jinghong’s voice trembled as he spoke.
Bai Ruoxi clutched her bathrobe tightly around her, her cheeks flushed crimson. She whispered sharply, “Get out…”
Bai Jinghong was truly out of his mind. He scrambled and rushed out of the room.
Outside the room, Bai Jinghong’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Just now, he had actually…
Agitated, Bai Jinghong raised his hand and slapped himself straight across the face.
Then he held his forehead, unable to settle his heart for ages.
Although this was a body he’d transmigrated into, and he wasn’t the original Bai Jinghong anyway…
But she was his sister, for crying out loud!
He had actually…
At this moment, Bai Jinghong seemed to grow even more agitated.
He jumped directly from the second floor down to the first, rushed to the wine cabinet, opened a bottle of liquor, and began gulping it down furiously.
Up on the second floor, at Shen Yaoyao’s doorway, Bai Ruoxi had already straightened her bathrobe. She was standing there, watching Bai Jinghong below frantically numbing himself with alcohol.
She opened her lips slightly, wanting to stop him, but didn’t speak.
Only a flash of heartache flickered through her eyes.
In one go, Bai Jinghong downed nearly half a bottle of liquor. Then he left the villa directly and collapsed onto the lawn outside.
“System, what the hell do I do about this? Just now, I… towards my own sister…”
Bai Jinghong was irritable and had no one to confide in, so he began talking directly to the System.
[Ding! Host has no sister!]
“???” Bai Jinghong was completely dumbfounded upon hearing this line. “Are you on drugs or just stupid? If I don’t have a sister, then who the hell is Bai Ruoxi?”
Bai Jinghong felt like this Idiot System had gone mad.
[Ding! The System isn’t talking nonsense. In the original novel where Chen Lin was the protagonist, the Host’s original body lived too short a time. After transmigration, the protagonist Chen Lin also died too quickly, never triggering the subsequent plot.]
[The Host’s legitimate older sister died shortly after birth. The Host is the sole heir of the Bai Family.]
[And the current Bai Ruoxi also perished in that storyline involving Chen Lin…]
[So, according to the setting in Chen Lin’s storyline, the Host is an only child!]
Bai Jinghong was mind-blowingly confused for a moment, almost unable to believe it.
Was this a pitfall?
“Then… then whose child is my sister? My parents never mentioned anything about this!” Bai Jinghong felt his brain short-circuit for a moment.
[Ding! The parents not saying anything is just their default position. However, the Host has two choices.]
[One: Default. Accept Bai Ruoxi as your biological sister by default. This will not trigger any plot. Bai Ruoxi will only exist as your sister.]
[Two: Reveal. Bai Ruoxi’s subsequent plotline will automatically trigger. Her origins will gradually become clear. The Host can choose to take her, or not.]
[Please choose: 1. Default to sibling relationship.]
[2. Reveal, trigger plotline, and have a grand, earth-shattering ahem with your sister.]
Bai Jinghong was completely stunned. Let him choose? No, better let the beauties and handsome folks reading this choose!
Bai Jinghong immediately cut off the conversation with the system and continued drinking.
His mind was really a chaotic mess. He felt like his entire world had been overturned.
Damn it, that was a German orthopedic nightmare waiting to happen… wait, no, according to the System, there’s no blood relation at all!
