Chapter 660: Chapter 669: Xingxing, Do You Like It?
Bai Zhi watched from not too far away as Hann Bing led them away. Who would have thought they’d be so lucky?
Returning ho, Bai Zhi was surprised to find Grandpa had actually co back. A big smile spread across her face as she sprinted towards him.
“Grandpa!”
Seeing Bai Zhi running over, Bai Dan felt joyful too. He took her by the hand and they headed ho…
“I’m not busy these days, so I ca back to spend so ti with you. I bought so things for you. Let’s go inside and check them out…”
It was then that Bai Zhi noticed her grandpa was carrying bags and parcels of all sizes, which made her feel sowhat helpless.
“Grandpa, what are all these?”
Bai Dan smiled, entered the house with his granddaughter, and then started moving the luggage inside, piece by piece.
“Oh, nothing much, just so gifts and clothes I got for you.”
Bai Dan, whenever he traveled sowhere and saw sothing tasty or fun, always thought of bringing it back for his dear granddaughter.
Believing they were all suitable for a girl of their family.
Bai Zhi felt a bit helpless; she wasn’t a little kid anymore. But her grandpa always wanted to give her the best.
“Grandpa, I already have a lot of clothes.” Bai Xin had made many, always afraid she didn’t have enough to wear.
The next mont, Bai Zhi saw Bai Dan’s slightly crestfallen face and quickly changed her tune.
“But I still love the clothes and toys Grandpa buys the most.”
Sure enough, as soon as Bai Zhi said that, Bai Dan was overjoyed.
His granddaughter liked them, which made Bai Dan elated, and he quickly took them out for her to see.
At first, the dolls and shiny crystal hair clips made Bai Zhi think she had to appreciate them because they were from Grandpa, so she happily accepted them.
Then Bai Dan pulled out a bag and placed it in front of Bai Zhi with great enthusiasm.
“Ta-da! Here are the clothes I got for you, five or six sets in total. See if you like them.”
Bai Zhi took them and slowly unfolded the clothes.
She saw brightly colored patterns… They looked like the kind of floral dresses old won wore.
So with a bright red base with colorful flowers and green ones, pink ones…
The smile on Bai Zhi’s face froze instantly.
Could she take back what she just said?
Her grandpa’s sense of style was a bit…
“Grandpa, I think I don’t need to wear dresses.” Mainly because those dresses were too terrifying.
Yet Bai Dan was still feeling delighted, thinking his granddaughter needed to be dressed beautifully.
He was just about to start checking how they looked when he noticed Bai Zhi wasn’t too happy.
“Xingxing, is it that Grandpa didn’t choose pretty ones?” Could it be that his granddaughter didn’t like them?
Bai Zhi felt embarrassed. How should she respond? Telling the truth might make Grandpa sad, but not telling it would make her sad.
At that crucial mont, Bai Xin ca back and rescued Bai Zhi.
“Dad, Xingxing, what are you looking at?”
Li Mo ca along with Bai Xin, bringing many things on his first visit to their ho.
From alcohol and white sugar to two big ham hocks and many nutritional supplents.
Bai Dan and Bai Zhi naturally saw Li Mo too. Bai Dan had always been supportive of his daughter’s relationships.
As long as she liked the guy. However, after the incident with Mu Yi, Bai Dan had beco more cautious. That’s why he now put away his smile.
“Isn’t this Dr. Li Mo? Co on in, why did you bring things with you?”
Since Li Mo had helped them a lot in the past, Bai Dan didn’t greet him with a scowl, just a neutral expression.
As a father, this reaction was normal.
Li Mo quickly spoke up with a smile.
“Uncle, I’m here this ti because I intend to date Bai Xin with marriage in mind, so I hope you can give a chance.”
Li Mo stood upright, trying to present himself in the best light, even better than before.
“So… Xingxing, want to give it a try?”
Bai Dan looked directly at Bai Zhi, while Bai Xin’s mouth twitched. What was her father doing, not giving anyone a clear indication?
“Dad, what is this? Such an ugly dress, how can you let Xingxing wear it? Whose child wears clothes like this that are both black and florally gaudy?”
Indeed, amidst the florally gaudy patterns were actually black stripes.
Back then—no, even at that ti, it was what elderly won in their forties or fifties wore.
Bai Xin’s comnt imdiately made Bai Dan’s face darken.
“It’s not for you. As long as Xingxing likes it, that’s enough.”
His granddaughter had said she liked it.
“Ha, she only said that not to upset you. Go out and ask around, see if any kid wears clothes ant for old ladies.”
Bai Xin retorted straightaway. Xingxing was so well-behaved; how could she wear such ugly clothes?
Li Mo stood aside awkwardly, unsure of what to do.
Bai Zhi: “…”
“Grandpa, I’m feeling a bit unwell. Could Uncle Li Mo take a look at ?”
Bai Zhi looked at Bai Dan, speaking with so discomfort.
As soon as he heard Xingxing was not feeling well, Bai Dan imdiately nodded, pulling Li Mo inside, not even caring about the things at the door.
“Doctor Li Mo, you must take a good look at my granddaughter and find out what’s wrong.”
Bai Dan had already forgotten about the things at the door, and Li Mo quickly examined Bai Zhi.
“Did you…”
Li Mo, who had been studying traditional Chinese dicine recently, did have a bit of talent and noticed that Bai Zhi had exerted herself.
“I’ve just been dealing with a few jerks lately, nothing serious. Third Grandpa said I’m just undergoing normal recovery training.”
Bai Zhi nodded vigorously, then spoke nonchalantly.
Li Mo responded with so seriousness, “That’s not good. You need proper rest so your bones can heal properly. Xingxing, I’ll make you so bone broth later.”
As Li Mo spoke, he went to help with the things, only to find Bai Xin had already brought everything back.
He silently hurried to help with cooking.
Seeing this, Bai Dan understood everything; his granddaughter was helping them out.
Bai Dan felt a bit helpless and patted Bai Zhi’s hand. “You little rascal.”
“Grandpa, Auntie has it tough. As long as she’s happy, of course, we should accommodate her a bit, don’t you think?”
Bai Zhi playfully stuck out her tongue. She knew clearly that Li Mo was not Mu Yi.
Even if Li Mo were Mu Yi, her aunt wouldn’t just swallow her pride anymore.
She had found her true self and could live well on her own.
But there was bitterness in her aunt’s heart.
Bai Zhi could see it, especially when she was with Li Mo—her aunt was relaxed. She wasn’t really making decisions for her aunt.
“We’re not making decisions for Auntie either. Whatever she does, we just need to support her. If she doesn’t like Uncle Li Mo, then she can just kick him to the curb and find soone else.”
Li Mo, just about to enter with the things, heard Bai Zhi’s bold words and was at a loss whether he should go in or not.
Upon hearing this, Bai Dan thought, that’s right. Tis have changed, with fewer concerns. No matter what his daughter thinks, they should just support her.
“Xingxing, you’re right. By the way, do you like that dress?” As if trying to change the subject, he still had to ask.
Sure enough, Bai Dan saw an awkward expression on his granddaughter’s face which probably ant she didn’t like it as her aunt had said.
“I like it…” but it was a bit forced.
“Alright, if you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Grandpa won’t force you. Whatever you want to do, I’m supportive.
You can say it outright if you don’t like it, Grandpa’s taste is not good, I’ll change it next ti.”
Bai Dan extended his hand, tousling Bai Zhi’s hair gently as he spoke.
