Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 685 - 678: Not Falling for It
Wu Chengzu’s attitude was gentle, and upon seeing this, Alpha and Beta froze, standing obediently behind Bai Yiran, not daring to touch her, deeply afraid of offending Wu Chengzu again.
At this moment, who couldn’t see that Wu Chengzu was fond of this woman? Da Lin was unlucky, had a run-in with this misfortune, and seeing the blood streaming down his forehead, Alpha and Beta shuddered involuntarily.
Yao Zhiqing’s face was not looking good, practically as dark as coal. Wu Chengzu protected Bai Yiran right in front of her, was he treating Bai Yiran as his own woman, pampering her?
She was in a bad mood, a really bad mood! At this moment, all those years of teacher-student friendship, the affection for her favorite student, were all useless. Right now, she really wished Bai Yiran would just drop dead, the worse the death, the better!
She and Wu Chengzu had known each other since their youth, she had loved him for over a decade, and stood by him for over a decade. She didn’t mind the revolving door of women around Wu Chengzu because she knew he never truly cared for them. Even his wife, Wu Jingjing’s mother, was merely a transient figure meant for a certain period. When that woman died in the end, Wu Chengzu didn’t shed a single tear.
Yao Zhiqing always felt she was the constant woman beside Wu Chengzu. Wu Chengzu wasn’t close to her, but he treated every woman the same.
But why was Bai Yiran an exception!
At this moment, Bai Yiran had calmed down. There was some lingering fear in her heart; her earlier actions were too impulsive. If she had angered the unpredictable Wu Chengzu, the consequences would be unimaginable, wouldn’t they?
Bai Yiran glanced at Alpha and Beta behind her, unwilling to stay any longer, she stepped away from the main house.
A perfectly good breakfast turned into a farce. Wu Chengzu took the rolled tobacco out of his pocket, lit it, and went to the courtyard to smoke.
Da Lin sat silently by the side, bandaging his wound, but the pain in his heart was far worse than the pain on his forehead.
For a moment, only Yao Zhiqing stood awkwardly in the center of the main house, looking at the mess and her own pathetic state, she suddenly felt an urge to cry.
After watching Bai Yiran return to her room, the doorway was left to Beta and Gamma to guard. Alpha came to the courtyard, continuing to squat in the corner shed to roll tobacco for Wu Chengzu.
Since Wu Chengzu began to like the taste of dry tobacco, Alpha had taken on the task of rolling it. He was also happy to do this, as it could bring him closer to Wu Chengzu.
Wu Chengzu stood with one hand on his hip, the other holding a cigarette, looking up at the sky filled with oppressive dark clouds.
It looked like it was going to rain, and a heavy rain at that.
Wu Chengzu’s heart grew heavier as he thought if it rained heavily, the ship couldn’t sail properly, and the departure day would have to be postponed.
Wu Chengzu’s worry quickly became reality. Indeed, it started raining, and instead of stopping, it turned into a continuous downpour.
Rain in this season was rare, and such a heavy rain was even more unusual.
Wu Chengzu began to feel unsettled, wondering if the heavens themselves weren’t willing to let him off so easily?
Unfortunately, Wu Chengzu was born to defy fate. He didn’t believe in such things.
After searching fruitlessly in the previous town for days, Leng Yichen and Wang Hai decided to head to the next place.
Due to the heavy rain, Leng Yichen and Wang Hai’s car was forced to stop in a secluded small town. This wasn’t their designated area, but with the roads impassable due to rain, they could only wait here until it stopped.
Wang Hai parked the car in front of a small shop. To attract business, the shop had set up a canopy at the entrance, providing a place for people to shelter from the rain and perhaps buy something.
Wang Hai bought a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of water for Leng Yichen, and the two sat under the canopy.
The neighboring locals were chatting with the shop owner, "Hey, has that person come recently?"
The owner was taken aback, "Which person?"
"The one who comes and buys a whole bunch of stuff at once. You mentioned last time that a man like him buying so many women’s items was strange!"
Leng Yichen and Wang Hai were startled upon hearing this, their eyes meeting with a glimmer of intrigue.
