Chapter 973 - Wake Up, I’m Not Her (2/2)

Bai Qi was immediately relieved after the man had left. She pushed against the countertop with her small, fair hands and breathed heavily.

That was close.

She tidied up the messy clothes on her body, then quickly ran upstairs to her room. She was afraid that others would see her, but she was even more afraid that he would come back.

After entering the room, she immediately walked into the bathroom and took off all her clothes. She stood under the showerhead and took a hot shower.

His scent still lingered on her body, which made her heart palpitate. She looked down and saw that her collarbone was full of hickeys and bite marks.

She rubbed her skin with force, trying to wipe away all the marks he left on her body. She hugged herself tightly with her slender arms and rinsed herself over and over again.

Suddenly, she remembered his hoarse, painful, and obsessed mumble, “Zhiyuan… my wife…”

Was that woman the person he loved?

Would a man like him love a woman so deeply?

Bai Qi felt her legs go soft, and a strange feeling slowly expanded inside her. She felt a little heartache and a little comforted…

She quickly organized her emotions. She realized that she had become overly curious about him. He was a very dangerous man, and fickle too. She would leave tomorrow, and she did not want to have any more interactions with him.

…

The next morning.

When Bai Qi came out of her room, Zhou Sileng pounced on her as usual and hugged her leg. Bai Qi stroked Zhou Sileng’s small head. She really liked this little friend of hers, but unfortunately, he had a devil daddy.

Zhou Yao came out of the master bedroom as well. He wore a black coat, and his handsome features were even colder and sterner than usual. The three of them bumped into each other in the corridor. He did not even look at the two people. Instead, he turned around and went down the stairs.

Zhou Sileng was surprised. He whispered suspiciously, “Bai Qi, what’s wrong with my dad? He’s so cold today. His entire body seems to be covered in frost. Who angered him? That person is too bold.”

Bai Qi could only laugh awkwardly.

Mother Zhou entered the dining room. The four of them ate breakfast together. No one spoke at the dining table. Even the servants had sensed that their male host was in a bad mood today, so no one dared to even breathe loudly.

After they’d finished breakfast, Mother Zhou said, “Sileng, I’ll send you off today. I’ll send you to school. I’ll get the driver to send Ms. Bai away after you.”

Bai Qi liked the proposal.

“No, Grandma. I want daddy to send me off today. Daddy, aren’t you going to your unit? You can give me and Ms. Bai a ride,” Zhou Sileng said while looking at his daddy with his big, amber eyes.

Bai Qi was stunned. Why was Sileng so close to his daddy today?

Zhou Sileng had his own considerations. Now that he had found his woman, his life became extremely comfortable. However, daddy was still alone and looked pitiful. Naturally, he had to care more about daddy.

He actually loved daddy very much.

In the past four years, he and daddy had been relying on each other.

Mother Zhou happily agreed with Zhou Sileng’s idea. Only by spending more time together could this father and son pair deepen their relationship. “Alright then, Zhou Yao, you can drive Sileng and Ms. Bai.”

Mother Zhou made the decision.

Bai Qi was speechless.
