Chapter 542: 296 Different Parents (First Update)_2

He sounded genuinely concerned, but Bai Ye secretly thought his father’s thick skin meant he surely wouldn’t worry about him.

Indeed, when Bai Ye closely saw his father, Bai Zhengli, roll his eyes without saying a word, the message was clear—why would I worry about you?

The two exchanged glances, each feeling an urge to punch the other. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting and Bai Zhengli remembering the important matters, they might have actually come to blows.

Bai Qianqian felt uncomfortable sitting in Bai Zhengli’s arms and squirmed, wanting to go to Fang Yuxin. Bai Ye noticed and pushed him back into Bai Zhengli’s arms while giving Bai Zhengli a look—watch this little rascal for me!

Bai Zhengli glared back—why should I?

Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze drifting towards Shui Rou next to Bai Zhengli. Bai Zhengli’s expression changed, and without waiting for Bai Ye to speak, he grabbed Bai Qianqian. While Bai Qianqian was discontented and trying to struggle, Bai Zhengli quietly pinched his chubby hand, signaling him to wait.

Bai Qianqian glared at Bai Ye, feeling that his foolish dad was really annoying! Had he known this man would compete with him for "mama," he wouldn’t have helped him! _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

Fang Yuxin and Fang Yuyang saw their subtle movements, feeling both awkward and surprised. Fang Yuyang had met Bai Zhengli before and thought him to be quite stern and not easily approachable, yet here he was acting differently in private.

Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but be reminded of Qiu Yiming’s parents, Qiu Hongsheng, and Zhou Fanghua, comparing them to Bai Ye’s parents; it seemed like a substantial difference. She had been discreetly observing Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou, initially thinking Bai Zhengli looked stern while Shui Rou seemed gentle and warm, unlike Zhou Fanghua, who appeared mild but always carried an air of arrogance and superiority. Shui Rou’s gaze was soft, emanating a warmth that involuntarily made people want to be closer.

At the same time, Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou were also discreetly observing her. After all, Fang Yuxin was not only Bai Qianqian’s biological mother but also the woman Bai Ye was committed to, and their future daughter-in-law, so they naturally wanted to take a good look.

While Bai Zhengli was glaring at Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin had already produced a small box, smiling at Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou, "Uncle and aunt, I’m not sure what you like, so I took the liberty of preparing a small gift, I hope you don’t mind."

Bai Zhengli quickly shifted his gaze and said seriously, "You didn’t have to bring anything, just coming over is fine." Although he said this, he still smiled and took the small box from Fang Yuxin. The box, crafted from purple sandalwood, was just the size of a palm and very exquisitely made.

Bai Zhengli felt that Fang Yuxin was probably just being courteous, so he wasn’t in a hurry to open the box, carefully setting it aside. Just then, Bai Ye said, "Dad, why don’t you open it and see if you like it?"

Fang Yuxin hadn’t told Bai Ye about this gift, so he had no idea what was inside the box. He just felt it must be something meaningful, perhaps something nice, and he couldn’t help but urge Bai Zhengli to see what it was.

Bai Zhengli glared at Bai Ye, but since Bai Ye had mentioned it, it would be rather awkward not to open it, so he carefully opened the box. As soon as it was opened, a faint fragrance wafted out, refreshing to Bai Zhengli and Shui Rou, who couldn’t help but widen their eyes, curiously looking inside. (To be continued.
