Chapter 9: CH 9

Bai Zhen Zhen was internally banging her head on the wall, but Huo Xiang was very cooperative.

“Uncle Bai, if I had a girlfriend, how could she not visit me after so many days?” Huo Xiang said.

Father Bai nodded, laughing happily and looking quite satisfied: “I guessed as much.”

Bai Zhen Zhen wanted to cry from laughter.

The other party doesn’t have a girlfriend, is it really good for you to laugh to happily?!

“Then what kind of girl do you like? What do you think of my family’s Zhen Zhen?” Father Bai asked the question that Bai Zhen Zhen didn’t want to hear the most.

—— Bai Zhen Zhen: “I want to complain.”

—— System: “Host, please go ahead.”

—— Bai Zhen Zhen: “Doesn’t Father Bai love his daughter the most? Didn’t he swear to let his daughter find a man who would treat her well a minute ago?! How did he suddenly want to marry his daughter to a stranger he’s only known for 3 days?!”

—— System: “Maybe… This is fate. Fate, cannot be understood.”

—— Bai Zhen Zhen: “…”

To stop Huo Xiang from speaking, Bai Zhen Zhen shot him a look “don’t provoke me”.

Huo Xiang theatrically frowned, before replying Father Bai: “For me, I like girls with chubby faces, big eyes, small mouth, and a slightly more petite girl.”

“Ah, round face, small mouth… slightly petite…” Father Bai was a little surprised, but still acted natural as he smiled, “You have good taste. This kind of lady is quite cute, really suits you.”

Bai Zhen Zhen also gave Huo Xiang a smile.

Her smile was full of appreciation.

On one hand, it was because Huo Xiang’s description, other than the big eyes, was completely different from her current “character setting”.

On the other hand, it was because in the real world, she had a 160cm, round face and small mouth look.

This random passerby definitely had good tastes!

“Looks like our family’s Zhen Zhen isn’t the type you like…” Father Bai’s words held a trace of disappointment.

“Zhen Zhen is a beauty. Such a pretty girl, if I met her in my everyday life, I wouldn’t dare to pursue.” Huo Xiang started his flattery.

“Is that so…” Hearing his family’s daughter getting praised, Father Bai felt proud, but also a little worried, “Actually, it’s not good to be too pretty. Everyone either thinks that our family’s Zhen Zhen has a boyfriend, or they think that her requirements are definitely sky-high, thus they don’t dare to chase her…”

“Tsk~” Yang Su Ping let out a seemingly contemptuous sound.

Father Bai didn’t reproach her either. This made Bai Zhen Zhen a little perplexed.

The stepmother constantly looks down on his biological daughter, and he just looks on without doing anything? What happened to his setting of doting on his daughter?!

This novel’s character settings, sure is impressive.

“Having said so much, I wonder what kind of boy Zhen Zhen likes?” Huo Xiang suddenly asked.

Father Bai was awakened by Huo Xiang’s question, and hurriedly followed up: “Zhen Zhen, what kind of boyfriend are you looking for?”

Bai Zhen Zhen awkwardly smiled: “Dad, let’s change the topic.”

“Ah, every time we talk about this topic, you’ll always hesitate!” Father Bai was unhappy, “Every day that you remain unwed, I will feel unsettled! This illness, would probably be difficult to recover from…”

“Aiya, if it’s fated, it will happen!” To smoothly pass this obstacle, Bai Zhen Zhen’s tone held quite a bit of acting cute.

Father Bai sighed, not responding to her words.

—— System: “Host, please pay attention to your settings.”

—— Bai Zhen Zhen: “?”

—— System: “Kind and passionate, especially filial to her father.”

—— Bai Zhen Zhen: “So? To be filial to my father, must I answer every question?”

—— System: “Host, you misunderstand. I am just reminding you to achieve your father’s wishes earlier and get a boyfriend.”

—— Bai Zhen Zhen: “…”

“Dad, it’s almost time for dinner. I’ll go out and buy something for you.” Bai Zhen Zhen said.

Yang Su Ping quickly stood up: “I’ll go with you.”

Bai Zhen Zhen gave Yang Su Ping a look.

She more or less knew what this stepmother of hers planned to do.

The food taken back would never be as nice as eating at the place itself. Besides, if she didn’t go out, she could only stay in the room, and even needed to take care of Father Bai.

“It would be better for you to stay here and take care of dad. He just finished his surgery, it would be safer to have someone look after him.” Bai Zhen Zhen didn’t hesitate to reject her stepmother’s request.

“Isn’t there still Lil’ Huo here to look after…” Yang Su Ping gave Huo Xiang a look.

Huo Xiang suddenly climbed down from the bed and wore his shoes, saying: “Aunty Yang, it’s not safe now after dark. Why don’t you stay here and take care of Uncle Bai. I will accompany Zhen Zhen to buy dinner. This way, I can also protect her.”

Yang Su Ping didn’t have the time to say “no” before Father Bai gave Huo Xiang a thumbs up: “It’s still Lil’ Huo who’s sensible.”

Bai Zhen Zhen looked at Huo Xiang, her face full of agreement, repeating like a parrot: “It’s still Lil’ Huo who’s sensible.”

“Then, let’s go.” Huo Xiang said.

Just as he said so, a flurry of steady footsteps came from outside the door.

Bai Zhen Zhen was just nice by the door. Stretching her head out to the corridor, she was shocked to find a few black-clothed men holding a wooden tray walking over. There was something on the wooden tray. It looked like dishes covered by stainless steel and glass food cloches.

“You, what are you doing here…” Bai Zhen Zhen tripped over her words.

The black-clothed men walked into the room one by one.

The only communal table in the room was completely dominated by big and small plates. Bai Zhen Zhen looked into the glass top of the cloche. It was indeed steaming hot dishes, of all kinds of cuisine.

The table was too small. There was no space for the remaining four or five dishes towards the end.

The black-clothed men stood in the corridor, waiting.

After that, Ling Hao Chen, with Michael accompanying him behind, walked under the eyes of the black-clothed men and a crowd of patients into the room.

“Aiyo, big boss, you’ve come again!” Yang Su Ping took one look at Ling Hao Chen, and was as happy as seeing a hundred dollar note.

Ling Hao Chen ignored her, walking directly to Bai Zhen Zhen. Using an indifferent tone, he said: “After eating, change rooms.”

CEOs always talk so short and precisely.

Michael helped to translate: “Miss Bai, Boss has already booked a VIP room for your father. It’s now being cleaned up. After eating, we can comfortably move over.”

Huo Xiang sized up Ling Hao Chen in interest, whispering to Yang Su Ping: “Aunty Yang, this is the big boss you mentioned?”

Yang Su Ping nodded her head quickly, her face emotional.

Bai Zhen Zhen was confused by Ling Hao Chen’s action. She frowned, asking: “Why would you help my dad to change rooms? Didn’t I already say I wouldn’t be your secretary and don’t need your help?”

Ling Hao Chen’s mouth hooked into an evil charming smile: “Heh, what kind of act is that? Playing dumb after tricking me into coming over?

Saying so, he took a few steps closer to Bai Zhen Zhen, inching her closer to the wall.

“Or, do you feel that it’s more fun this way, hmm?”

Bai Zhen Zhen felt that he was possessed.

She had been staying in the hospital for the past two days, how could she have the ability to “trick” him?!

Ling Hao Chen extended his arms, looking like he was about to trap her against the wall*, but unfortunately for him, another hand suddenly reached over and grabbed his wrist.
