Bai Chen arrived at the parking lot with Long Xu In, Xu Xue Ning, and Xu Er Er.
Long Xu In did not say anything to him the whole way. He did not know what Xu Xue Ning had said to her, but he did not care much.
He wanted to go home more, and he thought Mission 13 must be nearly complete since he had already done what Long Xu In wanted.
“Let’s go our separate ways here.”
When they reached a fancy champagne-colored car, Xu Xue Ning spoke. She and Xu Er Er stopped walking.
Next to the car, two bodyguards stood peacefully. They were the ones who had dragged out and taken care of Ao Suan and Ao Song.
“Yes, Xue Ning.” Long Xu In did not say much. It seemed like she was lost in thought, making her appear somewhat absentminded.
Bai Chen said nothing. He only smiled at Xu Er Er.
“See you later, big bro.” The cute little girl smiled back at him.
“All right.” Bai Chen nodded, still smiling.
Xu Xue Ning gazed deeply at Bai Chen once. There was one question in her mind that she wanted to ask, which was why he had not called her.
‘Maybe he hasn’t bought a phone yet?’ Xu Xue Ning could not help having this thought enter her mind.
“Mr. Bai Chen. If it is all right with you, can I ask for your phone number?”
She eventually had to ask for his phone number because she wanted to have it.
Bai Chen was not surprised that she asked for his number, because she had also asked for it yesterday.
In truth, he wanted to give her his number. But unfortunately, he did not have a phone. Thus, the answer he gave her was the same as yesterday.
“I’m so sorry. I don’t have a phone so I can’t give you my number.”
Xu Xue Ning went quiet after hearing his answer.
His words left her speechless. In her opinion, it seemed as though he surely did not want to give her his number.
“It’s all right if you don’t want to,” Xu Xue Ning said with disappointment.
It was obvious that every word she said to him was always polite because she knew he was a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator. How could she dare to speak impolitely to him?
Bai Chen did not know what else to say, since what he said was the truth. He still had not bought a phone.
No. He actually did not have the money to buy it. It was not because he did not want to give her his number or anything.
“You don’t have a phone?” Long Xu In, who was standing next to him, asked curiously.
Even after having heard from Xu Xue Ning that he was not an ordinary man, she still talked to him the way she used to. She was afraid that if she suddenly spoke politely to him, it would seem suspicious as if she already knew who he truly was.
She did not want that to happen, fearing she would not be able to continue to be friends with him.
“That’s right,” Bai Chen answered truthfully.
Long Xu In was silent. At the same time, she realized, was he not just living a life as an ordinary person?
Even the suit he was now wearing was the one she had bought for him. How could he have money to afford a phone?
She could not help but ask him hesitantly, “Want me to buy it for you?”
“Would that be proper?” It was not that he did not want a phone. He just could not afford one. Having heard Long Xu In’s words, he could not help but say that aloud.
Still, he felt very uneasy about this. He felt he already slightly owed her for the suit that she had bought for him.
“...” Hearing the conversation between Bai Chen and Long Xu In, Xu Xue Ning was at a loss for words.
From the way they were talking, it looked like the two were very close.
“Of course. I will take you tomorrow, okay?” Long Xu In said, looking at Bai Chen.
“All right then. If you need my help with anything, just let me know. I owe you one,” Bai Chen told Long Xu In, before turning to look at Xu Xue Ning. “Wait until tomorrow. I will call you, okay?”
He thought by doing this, Xu Xue Ning would no longer misunderstand that he did not want to give her his number.
Xu Xue Ning did not give any sort of reply. But beneath her sunglasses and mask, her face showed her surprise.
She was really surprised by Bai Chen’s words. Saying he owed Long Xu In favor was an astonishing thing to her.
Because she still saw him as a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator.
It was not common for a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator to say that they owed someone. That was a huge deal.
Having a Sky Soaring Realm cultivator on their side, who would dare mess with her Long family?!?
Xu Xue Ning kept thinking how lucky Long Xu In was.
Though there was no envy in her in regard to this issue; she only felt happy for Long Xu In.
‘Or, does he really love Xu In?’
She could not help thinking about this. Just him easily saying he owed Long Xu In was enough to make her wonder.
“Here’s my number, big bro. Don’t forget to call me.” Xu Er Er suddenly shoved a small piece of paper into Bai Chen’s hand.
Bai Chen took it and nodded with a smile. He liked this cute little girl quite a bit.
“All right, then let us go,” Long Xu In said. She and Bai Chen then said goodbye to Xu Xue Ning and walked towards the parked BMW.
Xu Xue Ning’s gaze followed the pair of them for a while. She thought they were quite a well-matched couple.
She started to think that she might have been mistaken in warning Long Xu In about Bai Chen.
