Winston glanced at Daddy Bai, before turning his gaze towards Bai Qingqing. He took away the chicken thigh in her hand and gently wiped her hand with a tissue.

  Bai Qingqing took the tissue from him and wiped her hand herself, saying, “Alright, I’ll talk with my father first. You should go back.”


  “Mm,” Winston responded and moved out of Daddy Bai’s way.

  Only then did Daddy Bai drag Bai Qingqing into the car.

  There was a passenger in the cab. Seeing this, he asked, “Are you still driving me?”


  “Sorry, we have some personal matters to resolve. I’ll have to trouble you to take another cab,” Daddy Bai said with a cold face.

  Not a wishy-washy one, the passenger readily opened the door and got out.

  Daddy Bai abruptly started the car and stepped on the accelerator to drive out.

  Winston ran towards his own car and said as he pointed at Daddy Bai’s car, “Follow that car.”
……

  Daddy Bai usually drove very steadily, but today he was driving urgently and shakily. In great trepidation, Bai Qingqing asked meekly, “Daddy Bai, why don’t we speak outside?”


  “Talk outside and be a disgrace? Let everyone know you’re dating a triad boss?” Daddy Bai said sarcastically.

  Bai Qingqing also got angry and retorted, “You’re judging him based on his appearance. If I was dating Ke Di, you definitely wouldn’t be saying this.”


  “You’re even resorting to sophistry? Don’t tell me you’re in the right when you got into a relationship at such a young age.” Daddy Bai was red in the face with anger, but he did drive more steadily than earlier.

  Bai Qingqing lowered her head. Eh, just knowing she was with Winston was enough to anger her father this badly. If she were to reveal that she had four men, her father would probably develop a heart condition from the anger.

  Daddy Bai suddenly said, “Have you any idea what you two look like together? You look like his kept mistress! Tell me honestly, are you doing this for money?”


  Bai Qingqing looked up in disbelief and asked in shock, “How could you think of me that way?”


  Daddy Bai didn’t answer.

  Bai Qingqing was so furious that she nearly burst into tears. In a choked and sobbing voice, she said, “You’ve raised me since I was a baby. Don’t you know my character? Even if I’m so poor that I have to pick up garbage, I’d never sell my body and my character.”


  Daddy Bai pursed his lips. He glanced at the black car closely tailing them and asked calmly, “Then tell me, what’s the relationship between you and him?”


  Bai Qingqing blinked back the tears and finally firmed up her attitude. “I said it earlier, he’s my boyfriend. We’re seriously dating each other. It’s not just for fun.”


  “It may not be for you, but how do you know it’s that way for him too?” Daddy Bai said.

  Bai Qingqing took in a breath, turned her head, and looked at Winston’s car for a while, before saying, “I know you won’t believe him. How do you want him to prove it?”


  Sharp braking suddenly sounded on the road, and the cab abruptly came to a halt. The black car following closely behind also instantly stepped on the brakes, very nearly colliding into their cab.

  Daddy Bai said, “Ask him to get into the car.”


  Bai Qingqing quickly went to the back of the car and motioned for Winston to come over.

  He instantly went over. After hesitating outside the cab for a moment, he chose to sit in the front passenger seat.

  “You’re looking for me,” Winston said in his deep voice. Even though he wanted to appear more friendly, he still looked every bit like a triad boss.

  Daddy Bai turned his head away and drove home.

  “Which stage are the two of you at?” Though Daddy Bai asked subtly, everyone knew what he meant.

  Winston gazed gently at Bai Qingqing, before replying, “We’ve done everything that couples would do.”


  Though not surprised, Daddy Bai still felt a lump in his throat. However, unbeknownst to him, what Winston actually wanted to express was that they had already bred and raised a child together.

  Bai Qingqing held a hand to her forehead. Why did he have to ask such an awkward question? How she wished today was just a nightmare, that she would later wake up to find that none of this had happened.
