What a piece of trash. She wouldn’t stop crying. A hint of impatience flashed across Cheng Songyang’s eyes. He patted Shen Sisi’s head gently and said, “Silly girl, how can you take it seriously when he said that in a fight? If you believe me, then do as I say. You can…” He whispered a few words into Shen Sisi’s ear.
After listening to him, Shen Sisi’s eyes flashed with hesitation and struggle. “Hmm… Is this okay? What if he marries Wei Xi’er?”
“Then Zhuang Li is not worthy of your love.” Cheng Songyang kissed Shen Sisi’s hair and said softly, “I’ll be here for you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t you believe me?”
Shen Sisi looked at Cheng Songyang with eyes full of trust. “Of course I trust you.” Other than Cheng Songyang, who else could she trust?
Cheng Songyang smiled while his eyes darkened. He hugged Shen Sisi and said gently, “Good girl.”
Half an hour later, Cheng Songyang walked out of the private room. He looked at the tea stains on his pants and frowned imperceptibly. Then, he entered another private room. Beside the window of the room sat a skinny girl. Her body was as thin as a piece of paper. The sound of the door did not attract her attention at all. Her eyes were fixed on the outside as if she was in a daze.
“Youyou.” Cheng Songyang stood behind Bai Youyou. His voice was gentle but he was like a poisonous snake. “What are you looking at?”
“You’ve been gone for a long time.” Bai Youyou had lost a lot of weight. She was so thin that she seemed to be out of shape. She had a rough voice too. This once beautiful girl was now so skinny. She smirked with a hint of sarcasm and madness. “Is the restroom that far?”
“I met a friend, so I stayed a little longer.” Cheng Songyang was used to her questioning. He smiled and leaned over to kiss Bai Youyou’s cheek. He said gently, “Youyou, are you jealous? I’m so happy.” As he said that, he hugged Bai Youyou in his arms and apologized gently, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have gone and made you wait for so long. I won’t do this next time, okay?”
Mrs. Bai who was sitting at the side saw Cheng Songyang’s patience and deep affection. She went teary as she said, “Cheng Songyang, thank you for your patience to take care of Youyou. You’re too kind. You care for Youyou even more than I do.” Ever since Bai Youyou survived jumping off a building last time, she seemed to have all her energy drained. She became quiet and refused to eat. She lost her glow and her temper was getting worse. Her mother did not know what to do and cried a few times because of this. However, Cheng Songyang’s attitude remained the same. He was patient, meticulous, and gentle towards Bai Youyou who had a big temper and rarely spoke.
Bai Youyou’s father could not help but sigh. He waved at Cheng Songyang and the others. “The food is getting cold. Come and eat first. Cheng Songyang, Youyou is not sensible. Please bear with her.” The best thing that the couple had done was to get Cheng Songyang and Bai Youyou engaged. With that, Bai Youyou was not abandoned under such circumstances.
Mrs. Bai wiped her tears and muttered softly, “With Cheng Songyang around to take care of Youyou, I will be relieved even when I die later.”
“Auntie, what nonsense are you talking about?” Cheng Songyang hurriedly said, “You have to live a long life. You will see us get married and have children. Moreover, Youyou is just unable to accept reality. She will recover soon.”
Hearing Cheng Songyang’s words, President Bai and Madam Bai were more satisfied. Madam Bai smiled in relief. “Hey, come and eat. Don’t just revolve around Youyou.”
“No rush. I’ll accompany Youyou more.” Cheng Songyang shook his head. He hugged Bai Youyou and revealed a gentle smile. “Auntie, you don’t have to feel sorry for me. Whether Youyou likes me or not after she recovers, it doesn’t matter. I do all these out of my own will. Moreover, Uncle has helped me a lot in business. I can’t thank you enough. It’s only right for me to do what I can.”
Knowing that Cheng Songyang said this to make them feel at ease, Mrs. Bai felt bitter. “You are… really…”
“We are a family. Don’t mention that.” President Bai had always been serious. However, he couldn’t help but soften his expression now. He said, “Cheng Songyang, don’t worry. I only acknowledge you as my son-in-law. No one can change that.”
What a piece of trash. She wouldn’t stop crying. A hint of impatience flashed across Cheng Songyang’s eyes. He patted Shen Sisi’s head gently and said, “Silly girl, how can you take it seriously when he said that in a fight? If you believe me, then do as I say.
