Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 596 - 589: Lingering Warmth

At the entrance of the supermarket, Chen Bei paid the bill and walked out carrying a case of canned beer, seeing Wu Jingjing crouching there as if she had no intention of leaving.

"What are you doing? Not leaving?" Chen Bei asked.

Wu Jingjing reached out and tugged on Chen Bei’s trouser leg, "You crouch down too, we’ll leave later."

Chen Bei was puzzled. The beer was bought, so why stay here crouched down?

"If you’re not leaving, I’m going."

To be honest, Chen Bei didn’t quite like Wu Chengzu’s daughter. She was troublesome, pretentious, and always making unreasonable fusses. Chen Bei felt it was very difficult to communicate with her.

Seeing Chen Bei lift his leg to leave, Wu Jingjing hurriedly caught up to him, pulling him back, "Are you dumb? My dad finally has a chance to be alone with Aunt Yi Ran, why are you going to join the excitement?"

Chen Bei was taken aback; so this little girl was scheming this? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

However, from Chen Bei’s perspective, he didn’t want Bai Yiran to be alone with Wu Chengzu for too long. First, Bai Yiran was Leng Yichen’s wife, and approaching Wu Chengzu might have ulterior motives. Even if there weren’t any motives, if Leng Yichen found out his wife was with Wu Chengzu, he would definitely cause trouble for Wu Chengzu, which had happened before. Second, it was a crucial time for doing business with Mr. Dong, and Chen Bei didn’t want Wu Chengzu to be overly distracted by such matters, preventing him from devoting himself entirely to the business.

"What do you know, little girl!" Chen Bei ignored Wu Jingjing and broke free from her hand, "Your dad is still waiting for this beer; how can it be alright if we don’t quickly head back?"

Seeing Chen Bei not listening to her and insisting on bringing back the beer, Wu Jingjing stamped her foot in anger, thinking to herself that one day she would make her dad get rid of this annoying man!

In the kitchen, Bai Yiran was still cooking. It was really a close call just now; fortunately, she gave up in time, otherwise, Wu Chengzu would really have caught her in the act.

His house was very large, and the kitchen and those two rooms happened to be in opposite directions. If Wu Chengzu had opened the door at the moment and saw her by those rooms, he would undoubtedly suspect her!

At that moment, Wu Chengzu was standing right behind Bai Yiran, watching her cook, under the pretense of wanting to learn cooking skills, but Bai Yiran could feel the intensity in the gaze coming from behind.

After plating the last sweet and sour ribs, she turned around to see Wu Chengzu’s deep, inscrutable eyes.

It was already this late, and Wu Jingjing still hadn’t returned; she must be deliberately stalling for time. Bai Yiran knew there was no point in staying any longer, besides she couldn’t guarantee that if she stayed longer, her emotions wouldn’t betray her.

"The dishes are ready. Since you’re back, I’ll be leaving then."

Bai Yiran was about to remove her apron when she suddenly felt a tight grip on her wrist. She looked up to see whose hand it was.

Wu Chengzu was holding Bai Yiran’s wrist, "Stay and eat with us."

"No—"

Bai Yiran was just about to refuse when Wu Chengzu’s phone rang. He released her wrist, gesturing to Bai Yiran to hold on for a moment.

Wu Chengzu glanced at the caller ID and frowned slightly, "Hello."

"I heard that woman is in your house?"

A woman’s voice came from the phone. Bai Yiran could vaguely hear it but couldn’t make out the words clearly.

Wu Chengzu looked at Bai Yiran, then walked out to the balcony with his phone.

Bai Yiran stared at Wu Chengzu’s back, gradually clenching her hands into fists, wondering if she went over with a knife now, could she kill him with a single stab!

When Wu Chengzu finished the call and walked back from the balcony, Bai Yiran had already left. He flexed his hand, seemingly still feeling the warmth from Bai Yiran’s wrist...
