Chapter 601: Asking for favors (1/2)
Noon.
Qian Meng.
After parting ways with Zhou Yanru and Wang Yuling, Dong Xuebing hailed a taxi to get to Qu Yunxuan’s parent’s house. This is one of the reasons he comes to Beijing. It’s been almost two weeks since they met, and he missed her and their child. She is due in less than four months.
Dong Xuebing took out his phone to make a call in the taxi. Ring… ring…
Qu Yunxuan answered. “Hello, who’s this?”
“You don’t know my number?” Dong Xuebing laughed.
“Oh, it’s you.” Qu Yunxuan sounded weird.
Dong Xuebing could hear Qu Yunxuan’s mother shouting in the background. “Hmph! Is it Xuebing?!”
“It’s not him. It’s a former colleague. I am going to my room to answer this call.” Sounds of footsteps and door closing. “Alright. We can talk now.”
Dong Xuebing is speechless. “What happened?”
Qu Yunxuan giggled. “My Mum and Dad are waiting to beat you up.”
“Are you serious?” Dong Xuebing took a deep breath.
“Why should I lie? Our baby is almost due, and they had been pushing us to get married. I could not hide it anymore and told them we could only get married five to six years later because of your work. They don’t agree and want to confront you.”
Dong Xuebing is sweating. “Then I should meet them. I am in Beijing now and will arrive at your place in ten minutes.”
“You… better don’t add more problems. Don’t come over now. They will calm down after a few days.”
“I am about to reach. How about you come out and meet me?”
“They are watching me closely, and I cannot leave the house alone. My Mum will even accompany me when I go downstairs for a stroll. Haha… How long will you be staying in Beijing? If you are staying overnight, I can sneak out at night to meet you.”
“Do you need to go so far as to sneak out at night?”
“Yes.”
Dong Xuebing is speechless. “Alright. Let’s meet and talk at night.”
“We can have a chat, but we cannot do other things. Don’t even think about it.”
“Hehe…” Dong Xuebing asked. “What do you mean by other things?”
“Are you asking for a beating? How dare you talk to me this way?” Qu Yunxuan joked.
Dong Xuebing laughed. “Then I will wait for you to punish me tonight. Oh, since you cannot leave your house, what am I going to do this afternoon? I had lent my car to my colleagues and didn’t have a vehicle. How about I go over to your place, and you throw your keys to me from the windows?”
“You must be careful not to get spotted.”
“I know… I know….”
A few minutes later.
The taxi entered Qu Yunxuan’s parents’ neighborhood, and Dong Xuebing alighted. He looked around and walked quickly to the building.
A window upstairs opened.
Qu Yunxuan’s pretty face appeared at the window and looked at him. She is holding back her laughter as she throws her car keys down. Thud! The keys landed on the grass patch.
Dong Xuebing smiles and picks up the keys before giving an ‘OK’ sign to Qu Yunxuan.
Qu Yunxuan pointed in a direction, indicating her car was parked there and waved him away. She was smiling and mouthed the words ‘Stupid fool.’
Dong Xuebing rolled his eyes and waved to Qu Yunxuan before driving away.
Dong Xuebing received an SMS from Qu Yunxuan when he left the neighborhood. “Drive carefully. See you tonight.”
Dong Xuebing smiled. It warmed his heart, and he is determined to show his love and passion for her tonight.
One hour….
Two hours….
Three hours….
Dong Xuebing drove the Silver Mercedes around aimlessly. He doesn’t have a place to go. Although he grew up in Beijing, he doesn’t have many close friends. He was quiet during his school days. After his father passed away, he was depressed and stopped contacting his remaining few friends.
4 pm.
