Chapter 698: Chapter 698: Who Bullied Our Granddaughter
The knocking echoed.
Bai Xiao leaned back in his chair, not wishing to respond, but alas, the persistent knocking continued.
Shuffling his slippers, Bai Xiao asked, "Who is it?"
It seemed unlikely that Bai Mei would show up so soon.
Still, for safety’s sake, it was best to be cautious.
"Bai Song!"
With a whoosh, he flung open the door.
Sure enough, his older brother Bai Song’s familiar smile greeted him, and Bai Xiao immediately threw himself into his arms, "Big Brother, you finally made it. I’ve missed you to death!"
"Cough, cough..."
Faced with An Zhiyuan’s helpless expression, Bai Xiao sheepishly retracted his hands. How come his man was here too?
Could this be a misunderstanding?
It shouldn’t be, right?
Is it only permissible for officials to start fires and forbidden for the common people to light lamps?
An Zhiyuan was just completing a task, and you had to fly off the handle and give him no quarter; what are you doing now?
This is not your real brother.
Many plot lines are about siblings with no blood relation falling in love with each other in the end.
What will An Zhiyuan think?
"Silly girl, why are you standing there in a daze? Come on in!" Bai Song wasn’t as scheming as Bai Xiao; seeing that his sister looked well, he knew An Zhiyuan had taken good care of her and was reassured.
"An Zhiyuan, it seems you’ve taken very good care of my sister. Brother-in-law, thank you!"
An Zhiyuan smiled and pushed the door open wider, glancing at him sideways with his usual calm demeanor, "Big Brother, come in. Xiaoxiao has been looking forward to your visit for many days. You’re finally here."
He stood next to Bai Xiao and put an arm around her shoulders, their closeness casting a doubtful look on Bai Song’s face.
"You two haven’t been fighting, have you?"
Something felt off.
Bai Xiao smirked, "Big Brother, not at all. My husband wouldn’t dare argue with me. Besides, he can’t win against me!" she blatantly lied.
He couldn’t win against her in arguments, but every time, it would be through physical domination. His stamina was infuriating, and in the end, it was always she who begged for mercy.
"Yeah! I wouldn’t dare argue with her. Our household’s queen is none other than Doctor Bai!" An Zhiyuan said suggestively, glancing at Bai Xiao. His gaze gently swept across her chest where the neckline showed a hint of a red mark, a remnant of his doing from the night before. As Bai Song bent over to change his shoes, An Zhiyuan deftly adjusted Bai Xiao’s neckline.
Bai Xiao suddenly realized An Zhiyuan’s intention and shot him an annoyed glare. It was all his fault, after all.
"Queen? Bai Xiao, is this how you bully An Zhiyuan? I might have to criticize you for that..." Bai Song stepped in, intending to keep the peace.
"Who’s bullying our Bai Xiao? Who dares to bully our granddaughter? Just watch me teach them a lesson!" Two people pushed past Bai Song and barged in.
They almost knocked Bai Song off his feet.
Clutching the nearby wardrobe for balance, he quickly looked up. Who were these people, haphazardly claiming kinship?
How did his sister suddenly become their granddaughter? Was there no law and order anymore?
Looking up in bewilderment, he saw an elderly couple with white hair, looking earnestly at Bai Xiao, as if she were braised pork – the kind they drooled over.
Then, behind them, another person squeezed in, bumping into Bai Song, "Sorry... Ah, Big Brother Bai, you finally made it!"
Someone clung to Bai Song’s arm, overly affectionate.
Bai Song forcibly freed his arm and stepped behind Bai Xiao, "How... did you... get here?"
Bai Xiao was amused. 𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
It wasn’t often someone could scare her big brother like that; it was Yan Chunlu.
