She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 39 Bai Yiyao

Bai Yiyao and Leng Yunting are engaged.

However, when the Leng family got into trouble, although the Bai family didn't take advantage of their misfortune, they did distance themselves from them.

Their marriage was therefore off the table.

Bai Yiyao joined the performing arts troupe because Leng Yunting went to serve in the army.

In order to get closer to him, she secretly signed up by herself, even though it was in such a far-off place.

The Bai family only has one daughter, so how could they possibly let her go alone?

But since she had already joined the army, the Bai family had no choice but to let her stay in J City.

When Leng Yunting arrived there, he lived up to everyone's expectations, climbing step by step from a lowly soldier to his current position as regimental commander.

When Bai Yiyao found out, she immediately went to find him.

I bought the tickets, and just the day before I was about to leave, I learned that he had gotten married.

She was filled with excitement, eager to go find him, but instead received devastating news.

That day felt like the sky had fallen for her.

She locked herself in her room all day without eating or drinking.

She simply couldn't accept it; she couldn't believe it.

They were clearly engaged, so how did he get married?

Even though her parents were terrible, she joined the army for him, wanting to be closer to him, and that was the first time she disobeyed them.

She didn't come out of her room until evening, her eyes swollen shut and her voice hoarse from crying.

Looking at her daughter, whom she had pampered since childhood, Bai's mother felt even more heartache.

"Mom, is this true?"

Mr. Bai did have regrets, but he also acknowledged that he hadn't done anything wrong in that situation.

He wasn't alone; he had his family behind him, and he couldn't drag them into this mess.

"It's true. The marriage application that Leng Yunting wrote appeared on your Uncle Leng's desk, and he approved it personally."

Bai Yiyao simply nodded and then locked herself in her room again.

The next day, when she stepped out of the room, she seemed different, but her mother felt that she hadn't changed.

The person was still the same, but Leng Yunting was never mentioned again.

Everyone assumed that she had let go of the past, since she had met all the men her family had introduced her to.

But only she knew that she couldn't let go at all; she was unwilling to accept it.

The husband who should have belonged to her became someone else's husband in the blink of an eye.

"Is Aunt Qin here? Let me take the osmanthus cake inside!"

Leng Yunting hadn't forgotten the little woman upstairs; she was still jealous. If he let her in, would he ever have a peaceful night?
“I’ll just take it in at home.”

Leng Yunting said politely, without any intention of inviting her in.

Bai Yiyao felt as if her heart had been pricked by needles. "It's been so many years since we last met. Aren't you going to invite me in for a seat?"

Bai Yiyao has the right to be proud, and she shouldn't have been so shameless as to ask that question.

But the man in front of her was the one she loved!
She came back just to see him!

How could she be willing to leave like this?

She knew he was married; she knew she should keep her distance from him; she knew she should let go.

But when she saw him, she always felt that things shouldn't be like this.

Every time she wanted to let go, a voice in her heart would tell her something.

Leng Yunting is hers!

Bai Yiyao wondered if it was because she cared too much and liked someone too much that she had this illusion!
But it seems she really can't do it, give him up!
Since Bai Yiyao had already said that, he naturally couldn't refuse.

"Come in!" Even though the two were being polite and seemingly doing nothing out of line, they were just behaving in a very proper and conventional manner.

But Liu Jingyi thought otherwise.

Bai Yiyao and she are completely different.

She knew she was charming, but Bai Yiyao gave off a graceful and poised vibe, exuding both heroism and femininity.

Looking at the two walking side by side, Liu Jingyi thought they were a perfect match.

In terms of height and family background, no matter how you look at it, Liu Jingyi felt that she couldn't compare to her.

The only thing that surpasses hers is her appearance, but she's just as good-looking!

Liu Jingyi suddenly wondered if she really could compete with the female lead!

Liu Jingyi didn't know what she was afraid of, and she almost fled back upstairs to her room.

Leng Yunting went to call his mother.

Upon hearing that Bai Yiyao had arrived, Ms. Qin Yan couldn't help but scrutinize her son.

The son didn't show any particular emotion and stopped looking at him.

Qin Yan truly sees Bai Yiyao as her future daughter-in-law.

Especially after Leng Yunting went to a remote area, she joined the army without telling her family, just to be closer to her son.

She wouldn't let the younger generation be involved in the thoughts of adults.

Before Leng Yunting got married, she still liked her and wanted to bring her and her son together.

However, her son is already married, so she can't say anything more.

For now, I can only treat her as an ordinary junior.

"Yaoyao, this is really too much trouble. When you go back, please tell your mother and me how much you thank us."

After entering, Bai Yiyao treated herself as a junior, but she didn't even bother to look at her elders, and her gaze never fell on Leng Yunting.

“Aunt Qin, you took good care of me when I was little. It’s only right that I do this. There’s no need to say thank you.”

Bai Yiyao said with a smile.

"And I heard that Brother Ting brought his wife back. I was just curious, so I came to see what kind of person had Brother Ting so captivated."

At this moment, Bai Yiyao seemed to be just a little sister next door who had come to join in the fun after hearing that her neighbor had brought back a sister-in-law.

Bai Yiyao smiled gently, her gaze casually sweeping around. Apart from Aunt Qin, Leng Yunting, and herself, there was no one else.

They're probably still sleeping!

Leng Yunting is someone who is extremely conscious of his private space; in the past, she was the only one who was allowed to enter his territory.

Now, she no longer has that right; there is no longer a place for her by his side.

"Yiyi is still sleeping. She's been on the train for so long and is exhausted."

Before Leng Yunting could speak, Ms. Qin Yan answered for him.

"Absolutely! It must be tiring to sit on such a long train ride!"

"Yes, when your sister-in-law first arrived, her face was deathly pale. Now that she's back, I'm going to give her a good makeover. Your brother Ting hasn't had time to take care of her."

“Brother Ting isn’t exactly meticulous, so Aunt Qin is definitely the one who’s more careful.”

"When you go back, ask around for me when your mother is available to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. I'll have your brother Ting take your sister-in-law for a checkup."

Bai Yiyao felt a pang of bitterness in her heart, but outwardly she remained as usual.

"Okay, Aunt Qin."

"I haven't seen you much usually. Your mom said the team is quite busy, and you're busy too. Is today your day off?"

"Well, it just so happens that I have a day off today!"
