Chapter 17 White Lotus
The following afternoon, Xiao Baihua was found by Zong Chai at a charity organization.
Zong Chai's brows furrowed with impatience, his eyes cold as he stared at Xiao Baihua's retreating figure. He parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Xiao Baihua, don't push your luck."
Xiao Baihua pretended not to hear, swiped the card, then clutched the black card, her eyes filled with glistening tears, and walked towards him: "It was Baiyue who called me and said that you were unwilling to spend money on me, that's why I did this."
Zong Chai pinched the bridge of his nose, looking at the exorbitant price tag on the new phone, his anger barely contained: "Xiao Baihua, how many times are you going to wrong Bai Yue? Every time you hurt her, she tells me not to take my anger out on you."
A sharp, stabbing pain shot through Xiao Baihua's heart. Her fingers, gripping the black card, turned white. She sniffed, "So you don't believe me?"
Zongchai looked at her tears, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and said coldly, "Yes, I don't believe you."
Cai Yi looked at Xiao Baihua, who seemed to be having a love-struck episode, and suddenly pinched her arm. She didn't hold back and hit hard, leaving a bluish-purple pinch mark on her fair, porcelain-like arm.
Xiao Baihua clutched her arm in pain, looking at Cai Yi with confusion, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain.
Caiyi took the phone from her hand, unlocked it, and handed it to Zongchai: "Look, this is a message from your good lover."
Zong Chai's cold eyes swept over the messages on his phone, hardly daring to believe it: "This... is impossible. I treated her like just a younger sister."
Caiyi crossed his arms and gave a cold laugh: "I think you just see her as a lover."
Zong Chai frowned, feeling annoyed that his dark thoughts had been exposed. He snapped, "This is between Xiao Baihua and me, it has nothing to do with you!"
Cai Yi took Xiao Baihua's arm, nestled affectionately against it, and smiled sweetly, "I'm her best little sister~"
The pronunciation of the word 'younger sister' was heavily emphasized.
Zong Chai was startled and subconsciously retorted, "Impossible, Xiao Baihua only likes me."
Cai Yi raised his hand and stroked Xiao Baihua's smooth face, a provocative smile playing on his lips: "Does she look like she likes you?"
Xiao Baihua: "..."
Caiyi's interruption eased the sting in her heart.
Zong Chai angrily stepped forward, trying to pull away the shameless woman who was leaning against Xiao Baihua.
The moment his hand touched Caiyi, Caiyi staggered and fell to the ground, letting out a scream.
"what--"
With tears welling in her eyes, Caiyi bit her pale pink lips, looking aggrieved. She clutched her elbow, looked up at Xiao Baihua with innocent eyes, and said, "Sister, my arm hurts so much~"
Xiao Baihua pushed Zong Chai aside, squatted down to help Cai Yi, and glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?"
Zong Chai stared at Xiao Baihua in disbelief, his gaze suddenly meeting Cai Yi's provocative eyes. He turned black with anger and tried to grab Cai Yi, saying, "I didn't use any force. She fell down on her own. Her injury must be fake!"
Xiao Baihua slapped away his outstretched hand: "Her arm is bleeding, how could it be fake!"
She held Caiyi's arm, which was covered in glaring abrasions, with red blood flowing through the broken flesh. This was no fake.
Zong Chai gritted his teeth: "You believe her, but not me?"
Xiao Baihua, with her beautiful and slightly alluring eyes, glared at him angrily: "Yes, I don't believe you. You have absolutely no credibility with me!"
Zong Chai laughed angrily: "Good, very good, excellent!"
Xiao Baihua threw the black card at him: "Here you go, I don't want it!"
Zongchai was even angrier. He picked up the black card from the ground and threw down a harsh remark: "You better not come begging to me!"
And he left.
Xiao Baihua took Caiyi to the hospital with a pained expression.
Cai Yi glanced at Xiao Baihua with a guilty look. She had indeed done it on purpose. The moment the madman bumped into her, she tried to scam him.
The wound was also a deliberate attempt to fake a fall and scrape himself, fearing that Xiao Baihua wouldn't wake up from her love-struck mind. It only looked more serious because of his fair skin, but it was actually nothing serious.
She can't bring herself to be harsh on herself; she still cherishes herself.
However, it unexpectedly resolved Zongchai's pursuit of the black card issue, since the two of them had spent a considerable amount, over a billion in just two days.
After calming down, Xiao Baihua also noticed something was wrong. She had actually seen that Zongchai had no intention of giving away money, but he was so concerned that he lost his composure.
Xiao Baihua blew on her wound, carefully applied iodine, and said in a slightly lecturing tone, "Don't do this next time. There are so many other ways; you don't have to hurt yourself."
With her healthy hand still intact, she tugged at her clothes, pouting, "I was just afraid you'd get all love-struck~"
Xiao Baihua's long, butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, her eyes filled with a complex and unfathomable expression. She parted her red lips slightly, her voice barely audible: "...No more."
"What?"
Caiyi didn't hear clearly, so she brought her ear close to her lips.
Xiao Baihua: "..."
She pushed Cai Yide's head away, finished applying the ointment to her wound, and took her out of the hospital to a hotel.
They've been staying in hotels lately, as the houses their families have arranged haven't been ready yet.
Caiyi rubbed his shrunken belly, his big, dark eyes staring intently at Xiao Baihua.
Xiao Baihua: "..."
She sighed, took out her phone, and ordered some light takeout for her.
Caiyi had somehow gotten behind her, peeking out a furry head from her shoulder and staring at the contents of her phone.
Her thin, oval face was wrinkled into a chrysanthemum shape.
What did you order?
She wants to eat meat, not vegetables!
Woohoo~
Caiyi drew out the last syllable of his name, his warm breath brushing against her cheek: "Sister~"
A blush crept onto Xiao Baihua's fair face. She pressed her head down and coughed awkwardly, "No, you just applied the medicine. You can't eat foods that might aggravate the condition or contain soy sauce."
Caiyi retreated to the bed, sat cross-legged, his cheeks puffed up with anger, like an inflated pufferfish.
Xiao Baihua sat next to her and couldn't help but poke her chubby cheeks, saying with a hint of a smile, "When you're better, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Caiyi's enthusiasm deflated instantly, and she gave a light 'humph': "Then don't forget, I want to eat crayfish, barbecue, hot pot, and milk tea..."
Xiao Baihua: "..."
With so much stuff stuffed in your little belly, you're probably going to have to go to the hospital again.
Caiyi noticed the expression on her face, her eyes widened, and she pounced on her, acting spoiled: "No, you promised me, you can't go back on your word!"
What could Xiao Baihua say? She smiled and pinched her cheek, looking at her distorted face with amusement, and said, "You're so small, but you eat a lot."
Caiyi wouldn't let it go; she wanted a definite answer: "Say yes to me now!"
Xiao Baihua's eyes held a hint of cunning as she nodded, "Okay, okay, I promise you."
She didn't agree to order all of these things at once!
