Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 605 - 598: A Play

In the blink of an eye, Bai Yiran has been confined at home for two weeks. With the New Year approaching, Leng Yichen hasn’t come home for days. Sister Liu is anxious, fearing that the young couple might be on the brink of divorce again. She indirectly hints at Bai Yiran for quite a while, but Bai Yiran’s responses remain indifferent. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Yiran, why don’t you give him a call and ask him to come back?" Sister Liu, originally preparing lunch outside, suddenly rushes in and asks Bai Yiran, who is feeding Xiao Xi.

Bai Yiran lifts her eyes slightly, "Why should I ask him to come back?"

Sister Liu is startled, "Oh dear, Yiran, have you lost your senses? The gentleman hasn’t been home for such a long time, who knows if he’s out there..."

Bai Yiran laughs, "No, he wouldn’t."

Bai Yiran understands Sister Liu’s implication. She knows Leng Yichen and understands his reasons for acting this way, essentially putting on a show for Wu Chengzu.

Actually, having been confined these few days, Bai Yiran gradually thought through some things. Leng Yichen has his reasons for behaving this way; after all, no man would stand by and watch his wife get close to someone like Wu Chengzu.

Moreover, Wu Chengzu surely understands how thoroughly Leng Yichen protects Bai Yiran. The day she went directly to his home, it stands to reason that Leng Yichen would not be unaware.

No normal man, knowing his wife went to another man’s house, could remain calm. If Leng Yichen didn’t do something to show Wu Chengzu at this point, it would only arouse more suspicion.

It turns out Leng Yichen thought things through more thoroughly. Bai Yiran realizes she will never quite grasp these things, at least not immediately.

"It’s almost New Year, surely the gentleman won’t not come back even for New Year?"

Only then does Bai Yiran remember that another year is about to pass. She recalls last year’s New Year when Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, and Cheng Shishi were still around.

In just a year’s time, Cheng Shishi and Grandma are gone...

At that moment, the sound of someone entering the password from outside is heard, indicating someone’s coming in. Only a few people know the home’s password, so it must be Leng Yichen.

Seeing Leng Yichen return, Sister Liu hurriedly goes out to greet him, nearly moved to tears with excitement.

Leng Yichen casually hands over a bag of fresh fruits to Sister Liu, "Where’s Yiran?"

"In Xiao Xi’s room," Sister Liu answered, taking the fruit.

"Okay." Leng Yichen lifts his legs and walks towards Xiao Xi’s room.

Bai Yiran finishes feeding and lowers her clothes, lifting her head to see Leng Yichen leaning against the door, "You’re back?"

"Mm." Leng Yichen’s eyes flickered; having not seen Bai Yiran for too long, upon seeing her now, his eyes begin to heat up.

Bai Yiran lifts her head, initially surprised; two weeks without seeing him, has this man not taken good care of himself?

"You..."

Bai Yiran tries to speak, but her lips are already impatiently sealed with Leng Yichen’s lips. Xiao Xi is still in her arms, quietly gripping his little toes, wide-eyed watching his parents kiss.

Leng Yichen’s chin is prickled with stubble, making Bai Yiran’s face itch, surrounded by the familiar scent of the man, the one that can make her feel at ease.

The two kiss unwilling to part, Leng Yichen bends over, one hand holding Bai Yiran’s head, while carefully minding Xiao Xi in Bai Yiran’s arms.

Suddenly, Xiao Xi’s dissatisfied voice comes from below, "Ah! Ah!"

Only then do they part with reluctance, and Leng Yichen looks down at the wide-eyed Xiao Xi, his heart instantly softened.
