Chapter 704 The High-and-mighty, Two-Faced Academic Genius (Gong) VS The Unrestrained, Charming, and
The light on the phone screen gradually dimmed, and when it went out completely, Bai Chengci seemed to gently withdraw her gaze.
Seeing all his expressions, Bai's father's eyes shifted for a moment, but in the end he just stared at him without saying a word.
In fact, during a previous conversation between the father and son, Mr. Bai had already noticed something amiss and had a hunch about it.
Mr. Bai knew that his son might have someone he liked, and even told him to bring her home if he had the chance. However, he never expected that the person his son liked would be a boy.
No wonder he always seemed to be hiding something during that period.
No wonder he was here...
So that's the reason.
Mr. Bai sighed inwardly, suddenly realizing that he had been neglecting his child too much because of work.
Otherwise, why would he only realize it now?
Bai Chengci waited a long time but his father didn't ask him anything, so he raised his eyes slightly.
He met Bai's father's gaze with an honest expression.
Seeing how serious he was, Bai's father carefully considered his words and was about to say something when he heard Bai Chengci speak first.
He explained, "Dad, he's the one I like."
The tone and meaning of this sentence are already very clear, as is the attitude.
It was as if his decision wouldn't change whether he agreed or not.
Upon realizing this, Mr. Bai was slightly shaken and remained silent for a long time without offering any opinion.
He didn't say whether he agreed or not. In the end, he simply asked Bai Chengci in a calm voice, "So that's why you asked me that time whether I would interfere?"
Because the person I like is a boy.
Bai Chengci nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes."
Mr. Bai seemed to understand yet not quite. He stared at Bai Chengci for a long time before rubbing his temples as if he didn't know how to process it. "You're not joking with me?"
"No." Bai Chengci slowly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Dad."
"Why apologize?" Mr. Bai scrutinized him, as if knowing his concerns, and asked, "Do you think I would object?"
He asked himself, "I wouldn't say I spoil this child, but I've given him everything I could—time, companionship, care. I haven't neglected any of it. So why is it that now that he's in a relationship, he's being treated like a strict father who would break up a couple?"
Mr. Bai sat up slightly, about to ask more questions.
Bai Chengci said calmly, "It's okay, Dad. If you object, I'll just go by myself."
Father Bai: "..."
Bai Chengci lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Anyway, I've never had any friends growing up, let alone been in a relationship. I doubt anyone will like me again in the future, and I might never meet someone who likes me this much again..."
Mr. Bai narrowed his eyes upon hearing this, then gave Bai Chengci a strange look.
Bai Chengci lowered her head slightly to avoid his gaze, and said in a lower voice, "It's okay, Dad, I'm used to it."
"..."
This tone and manner were all too familiar to Mr. Bai.
He could even connect this to the person who influenced his son; even though she had given birth to his child, his wife was still young, with a charming soul beneath her beautiful and gentle appearance.
When she wants something, she will use such ironic language to tell him.
Thinking of Cen Yi, Bai's father's cold and dignified face softened slightly.
But his tone remained serious when facing Bai Chengci: "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'a person'? Does that mean that just because I don't agree to you being with him, you'll never date anyone again?"
Without hesitation, Bai Chengci looked up and said, "Yes."
Bai's father was puzzled by Bai Chengci's attitude and gave him a wry smile, asking, "Do you know what you're saying?"
“I know,” Bai Chengci said earnestly. “Dad, I really like him.”
I seemed to have heard the phrase "I like you" from Bai Chengci's mouth and the meaning behind her words several times, and finally I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
If you like it, just like it. Why keep bringing it up?
He hasn't even made a statement yet, and he's already threatening someone and saying he'll never talk about it again.
What's the point of threatening me?
He's so busy with work every day, he doesn't have time to manage anything.
Despite these thoughts, Mr. Bai's face remained expressionless as he simply asked, "Does your mother know about this?"
Bai Chengci said, "I know."
Mr. Bai frowned and asked him, "What did your mother say?"
Bai Chengci thought for a moment, then answered naturally, "Mom agreed. She also said that I can date first, and we can get married later."
Father Bai: "..."
