Chapter 274

275. Chapter 275: Meng Hongchen's Confession

Evening.

Dessert shop.

After sending Orange home, Bai Zhou came here.

Familiar with the path, he went up to the second floor, arrived at small private room 303, and opened the door to enter.

"Bai Zhou, it's so good that you're alright~"

As soon as Meng Hongchen in the room saw Bai Zhou, she immediately pounced over, drilling into Bai Zhou's arms without hesitation.

"Oh, so you were hoping something happened to me?"

Bai Zhou raised an eyebrow and teased.

"No... no, I didn't..." Meng Hongchen hurriedly waved her little hands, quickly denying it.

"Mingdu is in turmoil recently. Why aren't you staying home properly? Why did you come to find me?" Bai Zhou pulled Meng Hongchen and had her sit in his lap.

"That's right, it's precisely because Mingdu is in turmoil that I came to find you. I'm worried about you..." Meng Hongchen said hurriedly.

Of course, although a large part of the reason was that she missed Bai Zhou too much and just happened to take this opportunity to ask Bai Zhou out to meet.

Mingdu was in turmoil, and her Hongchen family was also under some pressure. Both she and her brother had been grounded, and she had begged her grandfather for a long time before she could come out to see Bai Zhou.

"Worried about me? You know my strength, what is there to worry about?" Bai Zhou gently rubbed Meng Hongchen's little belly with one hand, while the other played with her little face, looking very relaxed.

"I... I'm just worried about you... After all, the Crown Prince disappeared inexplicably. Sister Orange is a favorite by the Crown Prince's side, so there might be danger, and you might get implicated..."

Meng Hongchen said stammeringly, her fair cheeks quickly turning pink, but she didn't stop Bai Zhou's naughty actions.

"Hmm, if you agree, you can go to our Hongchen family to take shelter first... This is also my grandfather's intention..." Meng Hongchen continued.

When she came to see Bai Zhou, her grandfather had specifically instructed her that it would be best if she could invite Bai Zhou to be a guest at the Hongchen family for a period of time. This way, it could not only protect Bai Zhou but also increase Bai Zhou's favorability toward the Hongchen family, making it more likely for Bai Zhou to stay in the Sun Moon Empire.

"Hmm, thank your grandfather for his kindness on my behalf. However, the academy is already very safe for me, and with my strength, I shouldn't encounter any danger. Besides, with me around, Orange will also be safer."

Bai Zhou nodded, but he didn't agree to it.

Although he would go to see Jing Hongchen sooner or later, it wasn't now.

"Ugh... why are you so good to Orange..." Hearing this, Meng Hongchen was immediately disappointed, and at the same time, a thick sense of sourness welled up in her heart, so sour that she couldn't help but let tears spill out...

"Because Orange already belongs to me completely. If you want, I can be just as good to you." Bai Zhou said softly.

"Wh... what? You and Orange have already..."

Although Meng Hongchen wasn't very old, she wasn't a little kid either. Naturally, she understood the meaning in Bai Zhou's tone, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears, which spilled out of her eye sockets.

What happened to the one-month agreement? How long had it been? She hadn't even started competing yet, and Bai Zhou had already been taken by Orange...

"Hmm."

Bai Zhou nodded, not denying it.

"Then why are you still doing... this to me..." Meng Hongchen pointed at Bai Zhou's hand, feeling increasingly aggrieved.

Bai Zhou had already done that with Orange, yet he was still doing this to her. How excessive...

"I already said, I'm not a good person~ If you want to give up, I won't stop you." Bai Zhou shrugged, pretending to be a rogue.

After all, Meng Hongchen wasn't his initial target; it was just the "peach blossom luck" caused by her strong fate that made Meng Hongchen come to him on her own.

Of course, giving up was impossible. It was just that it was a special period, and Bai Zhou really didn't have the time to coax Meng Hongchen, so if Meng Hongchen was really willing to separate for a while, he wouldn't mind.

"No!"

Hearing this, Meng Hongchen became anxious on the spot, hurriedly hooking her arms around Bai Zhou's neck, fearing that Bai Zhou would run away.

"I won't give up! Even if you're with Orange, I'm going to pester you. Don't even think about driving me away!"

Meng Hongchen looked at Bai Zhou with teary eyes, her gaze full of stubbornness.

Bai Zhou was the only boy she had liked in all these years; how could she give up!

Besides, she had already been touched all over by Bai Zhou. If she gave up halfway, wouldn't she be at a huge loss...

Although her heart was still sour, wanting her to give up was an impossible thing.

Even if Bai Zhou had done that with Orange, at least they weren't married yet, so she still had a chance...

At worst, she would just have her grandfather help her propose marriage. She didn't believe Bai Zhou wouldn't agree.

"Uh..." Bai Zhou didn't expect Meng Hongchen to have such a reaction, and for a moment, he was a bit stunned.

"What are you doing? Are you trying not to take responsibility! You've already done that to me... If you dare not to take responsibility, I'll tell my grandfather!" Seeing Bai Zhou like this, Meng Hongchen thought Bai Zhou wanted to renege, and she became anxious on the spot, once again bringing out Jing Hongchen to "threaten" Bai Zhou.

"How could that be? I'll definitely take responsibility..."

Bai Zhou said hurriedly.

"Hmph, the way you looked just now was exactly like you didn't want to take responsibility... I don't care... If you dare to run, I'll have my grandfather break your legs and then drag you back to be a live-in son-in-law for our Hongchen family!"

Meng Hongchen threatened viciously.

"No need to be so heartless. Your grandfather doesn't know his own strength; what if he breaks my body?" Bai Zhou's mouth twitched, feeling speechless.

"Hmph hmph... rest assured, I'll tell my grandfather to go easy, at least not to hit your face. Hmm, and you can't break that thing, otherwise, we won't be able to have children..." When Meng Hongchen said this, her face turned slightly red, but she still glared at Bai Zhou, pretending to be fierce.

However, in Bai Zhou's eyes, Meng Hongchen at this moment was exceptionally cute, especially those big pink-blue eyes, paired with her fair and tender face. Even when she was angry, she was still so cute and pleasant to look at, like a little milk cat.

"Haha, don't be so fierce. I won't run~" Bai Zhou reached out and gently rubbed Meng Hongchen's smooth little face, laughing.

"Ugh, you'd better not..."

Meng Hongchen pouted and said.

"Alright, alright, you should go back first. I'm still very safe in the academy, but thank you and your grandfather for your concern. I'll protect myself well." Bai Zhou said with a smile, trying to soothe her.

"Ugh, why are you in such a hurry to drive me away... It took me so much effort to convince my grandfather to come out to see you..." Meng Hongchen felt aggrieved.

"Hmm, you're right. It's not easy to meet once, so we definitely have to do something."

Bai Zhou nodded in agreement, then leaned in and pressed his lips directly onto Meng Hongchen's little mouth.

"Ugh..."

Meng Hongchen widened her eyes slightly, a trace of resentment in them, but she didn't stop him.

After all, it took a long time to meet Bai Zhou once, so a kiss is just a kiss...

Anyway, she enjoyed it too...
