Chapter 199: You

Bai Shuruo took a look; they were indeed all the dishes she loved to eat, such as the boiled fish and the dry-pot bullfrog. She then thought that the dishes for lunch must have been arranged by Ye Caiyue, as Ye Caiyue remembered what she liked to eat.

Han Dongbei also greeted her: "Ruoruo, we haven't eaten together in a long time. We originally wanted to go up and call you at noon, but seeing that you were all having such a good time, we didn't want to disturb you."

While speaking, they had already cleared the seat in the middle.

That seat happened to be right next to Han Yangting.

This time, Bai Shuruo decisively did not sit with Han Yangting. The dining room was so large that ten more people could sit there, so she walked over to the seat next to Ye Caiyue and sat down, adding: "I'll just sit here; I haven't spoken to Mom in a long time."

Anyway, she had called her Mom before, so it didn't feel awkward to call her that now.

Thus, Bai Shuruo chatted off and on with Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei.

Ye Caiyue asked Bai Shuruo: "Ruoruo, where are you living now?"

Bai Shuruo did not mention the specific location, only the district.

Ye Caiyue said: "That's quite far. Why don't you not go back today and stay here instead? You can come over to keep Xiaofeng company tomorrow. Xiaofeng misses you so much here; she says 'I miss Mommy, I miss Mommy' every day. Isn't that right, Xiaofeng?"

Xiaofeng hurriedly said: "Yes, Grandma."

Han Dongbei also said: "That's right, Ruoruo. You should stay here tonight and don't go back; it's too much of a hassle."

Bai Shuruo had no choice but to say: "Alright then... I will have to trouble you all."

"What trouble is there? You are Xiaofeng's mother," Ye Caiyue said.

Bai Shuruo smiled again.

"I heard you are working at a 4S dealership now? Doing after-sales service is quite busy, and you have to work on weekends too, right? Can you guarantee that you will come over to see Xiaofeng every weekend in the future?" Ye Caiyue asked again.

Bai Shuruo said: "I get eight days off a month there, on a rotating schedule. Sometimes it's not on the weekend, since there are more customers on weekends. So... if it's not on the weekend, can I still come over to see Xiaofeng? Is it convenient for you?"

"Of course you can. Your dad and I aren't working now, so we are with Xiaofeng every day," Ye Caiyue said. "But Xiaofeng is about to start kindergarten. If you come on weekdays, you will only be able to see her after school."

"That's fine, I... as long as I can see her, that's enough," Bai Shuruo said.

Han Dongbei said from the side: "Ruoruo, why don't you just live here? We have a driver here anyway, who can take you to and from work."

Bai Shuruo hurriedly said: "No need, my workplace is too far and it's easy to get stuck in traffic. I still want to sleep a little longer every day."

Han Dongbei then said: "Then if you have anything, you must tell us. If we can help, we definitely will."

"Okay," Bai Shuruo said gratefully.

Tonight's food was very much to her taste, but she still couldn't eat much.

As long as Han Yangting was in this dining room, the air pressure was very low; the indoor heating was not nearly warm enough.

Bai Shuruo stayed at the Castle for one night.

This night was uneventful, except that Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei came up to play with Xiaofeng for two hours. Bai Shuruo could see that the grandparents also doted on Xiaofeng very much, accompanying her as if they wanted to pour their hearts out for her.

Han Yangting did not appear again.

Until the next afternoon, when Bai Shuruo saw that the time was about right, she told Xiaofeng that she had to go to work and told Xiaofeng to behave in the Castle and listen to her grandparents and father.

Xiaofeng nodded obediently and asked when Bai Shuruo would come to see her again.

Bai Shuruo said it would be very soon, as long as she had time, and Xiaofeng nodded, satisfied.

Bai Shuruo took the Manor's sightseeing cart to the main gate and then got off.

After getting off, she realized that it was impossible to hail a taxi here.

So she opened her phone to call a ride-hailing service.

However, no driver accepted the order.

This place was relatively too remote; it would take a long time for a driver to drive in. Moreover, today was Sunday, and this time in the afternoon was the peak of traffic, with people going to work and taking their children to school.

Unable to get a car, Bai Shuruo decided to walk a distance first; once she was out of this forest area and reached the villa district ahead, she should be able to get a car.

However, the road that didn't feel very long when riding in a car was extremely tiring to walk.

A full 6 kilometers—when would she ever finish walking?

Why did rich people have to live so remotely?

But thinking about it, they had drivers, cooks, housekeepers, and servants at home; everything they needed was handled by someone else, and they only needed to eat and sleep. Of course, they would choose a place with a good environment, far away from the city.

The temperature today was not high, and the afternoon wind began to pick up, making her feel chilly as she walked.

After walking about two kilometers, a car drove over from the front.

At this time, on this road, this car must be related to the Han Family.

The car's window tint was very thick, and it was driving fast, so Bai Shuruo didn't see clearly who was inside.

Moreover, the car drove past in an instant.

Bai Shuruo breathed a sigh of relief. She hoped that this car hadn't noticed her; if they hadn't noticed her, she wouldn't have to be so embarrassed.

Bai Shuruo continued to walk forward, but not long after, the car actually made a U-turn ahead and drove back toward her.

The car stopped near her, and then the rear window rolled down, revealing Han Yangting's handsome and somber face.

"Why are you walking out?" Han Yangting asked her.

Bai Shuruo only felt her self-esteem had been violated, and she said irritably: "Of course it's because there are no cars."

"Have you not gotten your driver's license yet?"

Bai Shuruo said: "No."

Han Yangting opened the car door, got out, and walked in front of her, saying: "Then get in the car, tell the driver where you live, and let him take you back."

"No trouble," Bai Shuruo said, feeling a bit stubborn. "You've already arrived home, and having you send me back isn't worth it."

As a result, Han Yangting said flatly: "I don't think I said I was going to send you back."

"..." Bai Shuruo looked at him, puzzled.

Han Yangting pointed in the direction of the Castle: "My home is right ahead; I can just call another car. You take this car back."

After saying this, Han Yangting actually turned around and walked away.

Bai Shuruo stood frozen in place, watching his back.

His gait was very dashing.

After a good while she recovered, feeling quite angry inside, but she was more angry at herself for being wishful; Han Yangting had ignored her for these past two days, so how could he possibly be sending her home?

The driver came out and said to Bai Shuruo, "Young Mistress, please get in the car quickly; Mr. Han just said that I must take you back."

Bai Shuruo thought about how the road ahead was still very long, and if she remained stubborn, she might not reach home until dark.

She had no choice but to get into the Han Family's car, thinking to herself that she should buy an electric scooter when she got back; it would be better to ride an electric scooter next time.

Just after getting into the car, she received a WeChat message.
