Little Jue looked expectant as Bai Jiao’er whispered in his ear.
“Actually, I was awake the night my sister caught you.”
Bai Jiao’er’s voice was very soft, causing Little Jue to fall into a daze for a moment.
That night… the night he secretly kissed her?
Little Jue was shocked by this thought. But he saw that Bai Jiao’er was flushed red when he looked down at her. Looking very abashed, she tried to run away.
Bai Jiao’er didn’t blame him. Her shy expression made Little Jue’s heart beat wildly. He hurriedly chased after her. “Wait a minute, explain yourself.”
Bai Jiao’er was feeling so bashful, no way would she wait for Little Jue to catch up. She continued to run.
Little Jue was unwilling to let her leave, so he yelped and pretended to fall to the ground.
Bai Jiao’er quickly turned around to check on his condition when she saw this, only to be hugged by him.
Only then did she realize that she had been tricked. She blushed and wanted to push Little Jue away, but he just hugged her tighter.
“Jiaojiao, I like you. Are you willing to accept me?” Little Jue mustered his courage to confess to her.
Bai Jiao’er was hugged tightly by Little Jue. Feeling his breath and warmth, she couldn’t help smiling. She gave a gentle sound of assent.
An unprecedented smile appeared on Little Jue’s icy face. He gently let go of Bai Jiao’er and approached her tentatively.
Under the moonlight, the lips of two people who loved each other pressed against each other, brewing an intense sweetness.
…
Bai Wanxi led the family back to the Bai residence.
The group settled down the seriously injured Bai Jie before going to the dining room together.
Baili Yu had already prepared food and was waiting there anxiously. He quickly arranged for them to sit down when everyone arrived.
“You all have had a busy night. Sit down and eat first,” Baili Yu hurriedly said when he saw everyone’s tired expressions.
Everyone, including Bai Wanxi, was exhausted. They sat down and wolfed down the food.
Baili Yu didn’t see Bai Jie, Bai Jiao’er, and Little Jue. He asked in confusion, “Why aren’t father-in-law and the others here?”
Over the past few days, everyone in the Bai family had been very busy. Every night, they would return famished. It was all thanks to Baili Yu staying behind to take care of everything and make supper for everyone so that they didn’t have to go to bed hungry.
Everyone who went out came back for dinner for the past two nights.
“Daddy is injured. Little Jue spent a lot of energy treating Daddy’s injuries. Jiaojiao is in charge of taking care of him, so they are coming back a little later.” After Bai Wanxi said that, she took two more bites of food. She finally felt her energy returning.
Baili Yu’s family had produced several generations of famous doctors. Although Baili Yu did not become a doctor, he inherited the family’s medical skills. He was very good at using medicinal herbs to sustain the body. He prepared nourishing dishes for everyone that could relieve fatigue and strengthen their bodies. Therefore, everyone could rest and recover their strength and energy by the next day.
If Baili Yu hadn’t been supporting everyone, they would have used up all their energy and their bodies wouldn’t have been able to recover.
Baili Yu’s expression darkened when he heard this. “The monsters are so powerful that they were able to hurt Father-in-law?”
