Marry Me Quick

Chapter 798 Dare Not Move or Turn Back

"Here, try it." Lu Qingyou walked over to him with the casserole. "Move aside so you don't block my way."

She knew that Bai Yunan had a good appetite and could eat a lot, hence she made a big portion for him.

Accidentally, she touched the side of the pot and winced in pain. After rubbing her hand on her clothes, she turned to the kitchen to get her two plates.

Meanwhile, Bai Yunan held his spoon, his expression still somewhat serious.

In life, it was normal to encounter bumps and bruises. When he went on missions, he often came back with injuries all over his body.

However, he couldn't bear to see Lu Qingyou get hurt, not even a small wound.

She used to be a delicate young lady when she was a child. If she burned her finger or scraped her skin, she could cry for a long time.

Later, when she grew older and saw him seriously injured in the hospital, she no longer complained about her minor injuries.

"Try it. Isn't this the first time I've cooked for you?" Lu Qingyou had already sat down in front of him, her expression somewhat excited.

She had always wanted to cook a meal for him and hence was very happy at the thought of it.

She finally got the chance this day.

Bai Yunan lowered his head and started digging in.

Lu Qingyou asked, "How is it?"

Bai Yunan didn't lift his head. "It's alright."

Although Lu Qingyou knew that her cooking skills weren't great, hearing him say that still made her feel a little disappointed.

However, seeing Bai Yunan finish even the last bit of the casserole made her feel contented.

She ate slower and had a smaller appetite. After eating about half of it, she put down her cutlery.

"Are you full? Should I cook some more?" She was worried that Bai Yunan hadn't eaten enough.

Bai Yunan's gaze fell on the plate in front of her and asked, "Have you had enough?"

"Yeah." Lu Qingyou lowered her head and glanced at her own plate. She hoped he wouldn't say that she was wasting food.

The next moment, Bai Yunan took her bowl and quickly finished what was left in it.

He drank half a cup of water, put on his jacket, and looked at her. "Are you going to the company? I'll drive you there."

Lu Qingyou thought about how he also had to go to work and quickly refused, "Don't bother. I have my own car."

Bother?

She calls it a bother?!

Bai Yunan's expression turned cold as he uttered, "You've been burdening me all these years, and now you're calling it a bother?"

Lu Qingyou's face stiffened. She couldn't understand what he meant.

"What?"

Bai Yunan realized that his tone was off and took a deep breath. In a demanding tone, he uttered, "I'll drive you to work now. See you downstairs."

He knew that Xi Luo had not only driven her to work but also picked her up after work.

Lu Qingyou couldn't understand him. They were just fine a moment ago, but Bai Yunan was upset again.

Bai Yunan drove Lu Qingyou to the company but didn't leave immediately.

He sat in the car and lit a cigarette. Just then, Bai Yeqi called him.

When the call connected, Bai Yeqi asked, "Where are you?"

Bai Yunan put off the cigarette in his hand and answered, his tone laced with a hint of anger. "Bai Yeqi, did you do it on purpose last night?"

He asked him out for a drink intentionally, got him drunk, and then instigated him to find Lu Qingyou.

Although he had gotten drunk last night, he didn't forget everything.

In fact, he recalled most of the things that happened last night.

Bai Yeqi completely disregarded Bai Yunan's anger and replied calmly, "Does it matter whether I did it on purpose or not? If you didn't want to look for Qingyou, could I have forced you to go? Admit it."

On the other end of the phone, Bai Yunan frowned upon hearing his words.

Bai Yeqi sat in the car and casually put out the cigarette in the ashtray. He looked up and saw Su Yige coming out of the breakfast shop. Without caring about what Bai Yunan wanted to say, he spoke directly." have something to do, we'll talk later."

Su Yige finished her breakfast and was about to hail a taxi to the real estate agency to look at houses.

Since she was currently living in a rented house, she intended to buy a house.

She had to settle down here before she could bring her son back.

In truth, she wanted to return to Yunzhou City because, after all, that was the city where she was born and raised.

However, the events of the past had left her with trauma, hence she couldn't go back.

Life abroad wasn't bad, but she was used to living in Country Z, so she decided to return and settle down.

When she met Bai Yeqi, she was doubtful. However, apart from the time she coincidentally encountered Bai Yeqi when she went to meet An Xia, she hadn't seen him again.

Bai Yeqi seemed to recognize her back then, but he didn't look for her afterward.

When she came to think about it, Bai Yeqi was a member of the Bai Family. Even if he was born out of wedlock, he was still someone way out of her league.

She no longer had expectations for love and marriage and just wanted to focus on taking care of her son.

Since Bai Yeqi didn't come looking for her, she decided to stay in Jingcheng City in order to provide a better life for her son.

She went to the real estate agency and surveyed several houses. When she was on her way back, she sensed that someone was following her.

She stopped for a moment, nervously clutching her bag, not daring to move or turn back.

She was afraid that when she turned back, a creepy stalker would be standing right behind her.

Sneakily, she reached into her pocket and found her phone before running toward the entrance of the residential area.

As long as she made it to the security office of the residential area, she would be safe.

However, there was still some distance to the entrance of the residential area, and it would take about seven or eight minutes to run over.

As she ran, the person behind her also started running as the sound of footsteps grew closer.

She felt the approaching danger and couldn't help but turn her head. The person following her had already grabbed her hair.

Her hair was long, and the stalker easily grabbed onto it.

The person was wearing a hat, so she couldn't see his face clearly. He pressed a dagger against her waist and held her tightly while seething, "Come with me, or I'll kill you."

As he spoke, he forcefully pressed the dagger against her waist.

The dagger was sharp, and it easily cut through her coat. Su Yige could already feel the cold touch of the weapon.

What else had she not experienced throughout her life?

Frankly speaking, she had gone through way worse.

The nervous feeling quickly disappeared, and she calmed down. "Alright, I'll go with you. If you want money, it's all in my bag. I can give it to you, and I haven't seen your face, so you can take the money and leave. I won't report it to the police."

She tried to negotiate with the perpetrator.

This person was skilled and definitely experienced.

She couldn't get into trouble because she had to take care of her son.

The perpetrator hesitated for a moment while holding her, then roughly pulled her toward the woods nearby.

Lush greenery was found around the neighborhood, and there were very few people during the day.

Su Yige felt anxious and dare not defy him.

Once they reached the woods, the perpetrator immediately snatched her bag.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, someone appeared out of nowhere and kicked the perpetrator to the ground.

She was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to her sense, she quickly ran to the side.

When she looked up, she saw Bai Yeqi.

Though it was winter in Jingcheng City, businessmen like Bai Yeqi wore suits all year round. When the weather turned cold, they would just drape on a coat to keep warm.

None of the men from the Bai Family was bad at combat. Bai Yeqi quickly subdued the perpetrator, prompting him to cry out in pain. He stepped on his hand and kicked the dagger aside before picking up Su Yige's bag.
