Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 206 - 199: They Were All Deceived by Bai Yiran

Ming Kai’s words stirred a hint of unease in Bai Yiran’s heart, "Right now, I want to prioritize my career before considering anything else."

Using such a grandiose excuse to brush him off, Ming Kai probably guessed it. However, he didn’t intend to give up. Encountering a girl like Bai Yiran isn’t easy; at least if they’re together, sharing a meal would become something enjoyable in the future.

Ming Kai never imagined that the first time he’d be attracted to a girl, it would be because of the way she eats.

Bai Yiran and Cheng Shishi met at a newly opened cinema in the city center. Ming Kai drove around nearby for quite a while but didn’t see Cheng Shishi. Helplessly, Bai Yiran had to turn on her phone and call Cheng Shishi.

A text message popped up immediately when Bai Yiran turned her phone on.

The message was from Leng Yichen.

"Bai Yiran, this isn’t over!"

Bai Yiran quickly deleted the message, feeling anxious after reading it.

When Cheng Shishi saw a man standing next to her older sister, she naturally thought along those lines and actively invited Ming Kai to join them for the movie.

Ming Kai wanted to interact more with Bai Yiran, so why would he refuse such a chance offered to him?

After watching the movie, Ming Kai eagerly suggested treating the sisters to dinner. Before Bai Yiran could decline, Cheng Shishi gladly accepted. Throughout the meal, Cheng Shishi deliberately minimized her presence, leaving Bai Yiran somewhat exasperated.

However, Ming Kai was quite pleased, clearly benefiting from Cheng Shishi’s help, which allowed him to learn more about Bai Yiran.

Bai Yiran’s mind kept dwelling on the message from Leng Yichen—this isn’t over... What exactly isn’t over? Bai Yiran couldn’t grasp the meaning behind Leng Yichen’s words but regretted not answering his call and possibly angering him.

Yet, thinking this way, Bai Yiran felt she hadn’t done anything wrong. He was just a former husband, they had no children, no ties, so why wouldn’t things be over between them?

With these anxious feelings, Bai Yiran got through several days, and Leng Yichen seemed to have vanished. His "this isn’t over" never materialized into anything significant, gradually easing Bai Yiran’s wariness, thinking it was just Leng Yichen’s angry talk.

Yao Zhiqing held high hopes for Bai Yiran and Ming Kai but felt Bai Yiran wasn’t very proactive, assuming it was because of girlhood shyness. Therefore, she decided to create more opportunities for them.

Under the pretense of her birthday, Yao Zhiqing invited Bai Yiran to a karaoke evening, a place Bai Yiran rarely visited. Bai Yiran wasn’t a good singer, and during previous karaoke outings, she ended up playing on her phone, a mood dampener. Occasionally singing a song, her high notes went up while the low notes couldn’t come down. Thus, unless necessary, she seldom went to karaoke.

However, it was Yao Zhiqing’s birthday invitation tonight, so Bai Yiran couldn’t refuse.

To make it seem less deliberate, Yao Zhiqing invited everyone from the company.

Bai Yiran first went home to change clothes and was surprised to find Ming Kai there when she arrived at the karaoke place. Upon entering, Ming Kai was singing, and upon seeing Bai Yiran, he immediately set aside the microphone.

"Why did you just arrive?"

"There was traffic," Bai Yiran smiled, glancing at Yao Zhiqing, knowing this whole setup was aimed at her.

Everyone was somewhat surprised when they saw Ming Kai. After all, nobody knew him. After Yao Zhiqing introduced him, they realized he was a match made for Bai Yiran. Truly, the teacher-student relationship is unique, even introducing such an excellent young doctor as a match.

The female employees present couldn’t help but feel envious of Bai Yiran.

Bai Qianyu recognized Ming Kai; she saw him picking up Bai Yiran at the company entrance that day. Recently, she was in a cold war with her new boyfriend, which was more like the guy didn’t care about her at all. His message was clear: either Bai Qianyu goes back on her own, or she goes where she’s welcome.

Watching Ming Kai being so gentle and attentive to Bai Yiran, Bai Qianyu felt indignant and frustrated. When Bai Yiran handed the Bai Family to Leng Yichen, Bai Qianyu secretly felt fortunate, thinking her shares in Bai would provide more chances to interact with Leng Yichen. However, her happiness didn’t last long before the heavy blow came; despite Leng Yichen holding Bai’s management rights, he let Bai decay, leading to its quick downfall due to poor performance. Bai Hongguang was deeply affected, and became despondent. Bai Qiantong couldn’t stand the oppressive atmosphere at home and went to another city. Gu Manli was in prison due to defamation charges, leaving only Bai Qianyu in the Bai Family. She went from being a proud heiress to a scorned, fallen woman, uncertain of how she survived those days, attributing it all to Bai Yiran.

At that time, her heart was unbalanced! So, when she heard about Leng Yichen’s infidelity and Bai Yiran being dumped, she rejoiced for a long time. She believed that once Bai Yiran left Leng Yichen, she would be like a flower disconnected from a greenhouse, unable to blossom for long.

However, reality wasn’t as she expected; Bai Yiran was still doing well! There were still men picking her up after work! There were still men being gentle and attentive to her!

Drink after drink, Bai Qianyu’s vision began to blur.

Bai Yiran was forcefully arranged by Yao Zhiqing to sit next to Ming Kai. Ming Kai’s beautiful hand poured wine for Bai Yiran, who hurriedly refused, "I don’t drink alcohol."

"Then have some juice."

Throughout the evening, all focus seemed to be on Bai Yiran and Ming Kai. Ming Kai was very proactive, while Bai Yiran appeared much more passive, but in this situation, she couldn’t be too disrespectful to Ming Kai and Yao Zhiqing either. She planned to clarify things with Ming Kai once the event ended.

"Enough already!" Bai Qianyu, holding the microphone, staggered to the center, clearly drunk.

"Qianyu, what’s wrong?" Yao Zhiqing asked.

Bai Qianyu looked at Bai Yiran and Ming Kai, wondering why all good things were for Bai Yiran, why!

"Teacher Yao! I am your student too; why do you only introduce men to Bai Yiran and not to me?" Bai Qianyu’s mind started to lose control, speaking without filter.

Yao Zhiqing froze, then laughed, "So you’re mad at me! Okay, I’ll see if there are any good guys around!"

Bai Qianyu shook her head, "That’s not it! Teacher Yao, you’ve all been fooled by Bai Yiran!"

Everyone froze, what’s Bai Qianyu up to?

Bai Yiran was also clueless, frowning at Bai Qianyu, wondering what madness she was up to now?

"You’ve drunk too much, Qianyu..." Yao Zhiqing reluctantly stood to help Bai Qianyu but got pushed away.

"Her!" Bai Qianyu pointed at Bai Yiran, "She’s a divorced woman! You’ve all been tricked by her!"
