Although An Xiaowan said she didn’t want to deal with Bai Yan, before she even got home, this silly girl started to pester Bai Yan again.
However, luckily after an afternoon of shopping, An Xiaowan was already somewhat tired. She didn’t hassle Bai Yan for long before she couldn’t help but doze off in her room.
And Bai Yan tiptoed out of the boudoir, unwilling to disturb An Xiaowan’s sweet dreams.
Speaking of which, faced with their relationship that was becoming increasingly intimate, Bai Yan felt both happy and troubled.
He really feared that he couldn’t hold back, and one day he might completely devour An Xiaowan.
In fact, Bai Yan could easily take advantage of the situation and devour An Xiaowan, but he has been hesitating to make the first move, because his heart was undecided.
The reason was simple; both sisters of the An family were stunningly beautiful. The older sister mature and sexy, the younger cute and gentle—these two women gave Bai Yan a very special feeling.
Bai Yan wasn’t foolish; he could see An Yan’s affection towards him, and he himself had this inexplicably familiar feeling and sense of concern towards An Yan.
This feeling was similar to the very first time he met An Xiaowan.
Bai Yan always felt that his relationship with the An sisters wasn’t that simple, as if there were some secrets that he had yet to uncover.
While pondering in the study, Bai Yan unconsciously flipped through a book.
Just as Bai Yan was slightly distracted, deep in thought, the phone on the desk rang.
It was an unfamiliar number.
Bai Yan slightly frowned and answered the phone.
"Hello, may I speak to Brother Bai?"
A mature and commanding male voice came through on the other end.
"Yes, speaking. Who is this?"
"I’m Chen Zihou. Brother Bai, do you remember me?"
Chen Zihou’s voice was magnetic, and he spoke with a chuckle.
"Oh, Mayor Chen, how is your health?"
Bai Yan suddenly realized and replied with a smile.
"Thanks to Brother Bai, I’ve been discharged from the hospital. Secretary Li has told me about what you did for me. I’ll never forget this life-saving grace! I was wondering if Brother Bai is free tonight, could you come over to my humble home for a family meal? I’d like to express my gratitude."
Chen Zihou was very polite, showing none of the airs typical of a mayor: "Please, Brother Bai, make sure to accept!"
"This... alright then, I shall gratefully accept your invitation."
Bai Yan couldn’t help but shake his head somewhat helplessly.
He knew that although he had saved Chen Zihou and Chen appreciated it, due to political reasons, Chen couldn’t show too much favoritism towards Bai Yan publicly.
Inviting Bai Yan to dinner at his home was probably the best way Chen Zihou could think of to express his gratitude.
After hanging up the phone, Bai Yan reviewed his work again. At that moment, he received a text from Chen Zihou with the address of the Mayor’s residence.
Considering the time was about right, Bai Yan got up and prepared dinner early for An Xiaowan.
An Xiaowan was still sleeping in her boudoir, like a cute porcelain doll with an adorable sleeping posture.
Bai Yan softly smiled, unwilling to wake her, and just left a note beside her bed, then grabbed his coat and left the house.
The An Family Mansion was surrounded by a considerable number of security personnel dispatched covertly by Mr. An to protect the An sisters, so Bai Yan wasn’t worried about An Xiaowan’s safety at all.
Moreover, even if An Xiaowan encountered danger, the demon contract on her would send a warning to Bai Yan, allowing him to sense it in advance.
Though the community where Mayor Chen lived was modest, it had good landscaping. Along the way, lush pine trees, osmanthus trees and others lined the road, the greenery pleasant and fragrance wafting.
Bai Yan walked along the road in the community.
This community’s residential buildings were subsidized for officials to live in, making the housing prices low and counted as a welfare investment in HZ city.
Mostly officials and their families from HZ city lived here, the majority being just and honest, officials of various ranks included. After all, besides corrupt officials, there are also many truly incorruptible officials in the world.
Bai Yan followed the address in the message and came all the way to Mayor Chen’s home, where Chen Zihou lived on the third floor. Bai Yan slightly adjusted his clothes and went upstairs with a calm expression.
If it had been before, meeting the mayor of HZ city would have definitely made him extremely nervous, but Bai Yan’s mindset had already changed.
No matter what, Chen Zihou was just a common person, and even with great power being just a mayor, this was still not enough to make Bai Yan treat the matter too seriously.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Bai Yan politely knocked on the door.
From inside came a crisp and pleasant voice: "Who is it?"
Why does that voice sound so familiar?
Bai Yan was startled, then he called out loudly: "Is this Mayor Chen’s home? It’s me, Bai Yan."
The door was opened by a stunningly beautiful girl, appearing elvish, who stood right in front of Bai Yan with an exceptionally pretty face showing surprise. "Bai Yan?! Why are you at my house?"
Bai Yan was startled; the girl standing in front of him was actually Chen Jing!
Ever since he returned to the country, he had not seen this tall, lively young girl.
"Uh? Isn’t this Mayor Chen’s home?"
Bai Yan was a bit confused, why was Chen Jing here?
Before Bai Yan could ask any questions, a cheerful laugh from a middle-aged man came from inside: "Is that Brother Bai? Please come in!"
Mayor Chen, with a firm expression, appeared behind Chen Jing, pushed open the door, and with a smile on his face, welcomed Bai Yan inside. In the living room, an elegant and virtuous beautiful woman was smiling as she sat on the couch.
Mayor Chen’s home was very simply furnished, not much different from an ordinary person’s home, and the apartment wasn’t large, only about 90 or so square meters.
Mayor Chen laughed heartily: "A rare visitor! Brother Bai has finally come, I’ve been waiting for a long time."
"Come, let me introduce: This is my wife, and this young lady is my daughter, Chen Jing."
"This is Bai Yan, Brother Bai, my lifesaver."
Mayor Chen’s smile was extremely friendly, and in all his actions, he carried an air typical of charismatic middle-aged men.
"What? You are Mayor Chen’s daughter?"
"What? You’re the one who saved my dad?"
Both Bai Yan and Chen Jing inadvertently blurted out these words, they both looked at each other, eyes wide open, a sense of irony of fate rising in their hearts.
"This... Haha! So you two know each other? That’s great, saves me the trouble of introducing you!"
Mayor Chen was startled for a moment, then laughed heartily.
"Bai Yan is my classmate."
Chen Jing murmured an explanation, then she looked at Bai Yan, her beautiful eyes filled with gratitude: "Bai Yan, it turns out you saved my dad! You have no idea, that day mom and I went to grandma’s house, and it was only after coming back that Secretary Li told me about dad contracting H7N9 and nearly dying, mom and I were terrified!"
"It was no big deal, just lending a hand, no need to thank me."
Bai Yan awkwardly smiled; he never expected Chen Jing to be Chen Zihou’s daughter, which was quite embarrassing... Whenever Bai Yan saw Chen Jing, he remembered the scene where she sneakily kissed him at the party, and what Chen Yudong had said to him.
This lively and beautiful girl, she had been secretly in love with him all along, the Goddess of Mo University.
Bai Yan gave a wry smile.
"No, I must thank you!"
Chen Jing’s beautiful eyes firmly focused on Bai Yan, making him somewhat flustered.
Those eyes clearly carried a burning passion that anyone could see. Chen Jing had already liked Bai Yan, and now that Bai Yan had saved her father as well,
Chen Jing felt that the fervent love she harbored in her heart for Bai Yan was about to burst out uncontrollably.
The most sincere and primal affection in a girl’s eyes, like the most intense flame in the world, wanted to ignite everything recklessly, including herself and Bai Yan.
Emotions , if not suppressed usually are manageable, but once forcefully restrained, they burn brighter and more intensely in the heart!
Until one day, when one can no longer hold back those feelings, they will erupt like a volcano, making what was once mild affection turn incredibly intense, making it impossible to contain any longer.
And at this moment, Chen Jing was the most typical example, as she was nearly unable to control her profound affection and tenderness for Bai Yan.
