Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 212 - 205: A Starving Camel Is Still Bigger Than a Horse

Bai Yiran hurriedly rushed back to her rental room and bumped into Uncle Zheng on his walk.

"Good morning, Uncle Zheng!" Bai Yiran greeted him while opening the door.

"Morning!" Old Zheng responded, his old eyes fixated on the clothes Bai Yiran was wearing.

Bai Yiran entered the room, and only then did Old Zheng purse his lips and go inside.

"What’s with your expression?" Old Zheng’s wife asked.

"That Bai Yiran, she didn’t come back last night." Old Zheng sat on the sofa and took a sip of tea.

"If she didn’t come back, she didn’t. What’s it got to do with you?"

"Sigh!" Old Zheng sighed, "I thought she was a good girl, turns out she’s divorced, and now she’s out all night."

Old Zheng’s wife rolled her eyes at him, "The girl’s already pitiful having gone through a divorce, stop looking at her with tinted glasses. So what if she’s out all night? She’s an adult, she can do what she wants, mind your own business!"

"What do you know!" Old Zheng glared, "That place is for Fenfen, we can’t just let anyone stay there!"

Fenfen is Old Zheng’s daughter, currently working in another city.

"Hey! Have you gone mad, old man? How’s she just anyone?"

Old Zheng didn’t reply, his expression remained somber.

Bai Yiran simply changed into another outfit and headed to work. After being taken away by Leng Yichen like that yesterday, she wasn’t sure what would happen today at work.

Bai Yiran’s heart was uneasy the entire way, but to her surprise, her colleagues treated her the same as before. However, Yao Zhiqing still called her to the office to ask about her relationship with Leng Yichen and the reason for their breakup.

Bai Yiran didn’t give too many details; some things weren’t for Yao Zhiqing to know. In the end, Yao Zhiqing didn’t say much, leaving Bai Yiran unsure of what to make of her attitude.

After Bai Yiran left Yao Zhiqing’s office, Yao Zhiqing picked up the phone and called her husband, "She really is Leng Yichen’s ex-wife!"

"Hmm, then just keep her stable for now."

"She’s just an ex-wife, what’s the point of stabilizing her?"

"What do you know, a thin camel is still bigger than a horse!"

As it neared quitting time, Bai Yiran’s phone rang. She looked at the caller ID, it was Leng Yichen.

She frowned, but eventually answered the call, having the feeling that if she didn’t, he might just show up in person.

"Are you done with work?" Leng Yichen’s voice was concise and efficient.

"Almost, just a few more minutes."

"Okay, I’ll wait for you downstairs at your company."

"You..."

Before Bai Yiran could finish, Leng Yichen hung up the phone.

Bai Yiran anxiously massaged her temples, wondering why he couldn’t follow the common rules. Waiting there so openly, didn’t he know it would put pressure on her?

The last time Bai Qianyu embarrassed herself by getting drunk at Yao Zhiqing’s birthday party, she felt like everyone looked at her strangely ever since. Recently, she’s been down on luck, thinking that if she held out for a few days, that rich second generation might turn back to her. But he turned back only to break up with her.

Bai Qianyu, who always did the breaking up, was now tasting the bitter feeling of being dumped, and it wasn’t sitting well with her.

Finally enduring until after work, she was the first to rush out of the company and get into the elevator, feeling the need to confront that rich heir.

A domineering Bugatti sports car was parked below the company building. Bai Qianyu immediately saw the car upon stepping out, wondering if her rich heir boyfriend had changed his mind and come to plead with her?

The car door opened at that moment, and Leng Yichen stepped out, closed the door, and leaned against the car body, lighting up a cigarette, his smoking habit growing heavier.

Bai Qianyu was stunned; she hadn’t expected to see Leng Yichen here. It felt like an eternity since she last saw him, except in newspapers, magazines, and on TV.

Just as the first time she saw Leng Yichen, he stood there, exuding a presence that captivated her.

It wasn’t until Bai Yiran came out and reluctantly got into Leng Yichen’s car that Bai Qianyu snapped out of her fantasy.

She had become what she was now entirely thanks to those two people; how could she possibly be content seeing them happy together?
