Chapter 17. Stinky Little Sister, Let’s See How You Handle This!

Under the teasing of her close girlfriends, Bai Xiyi ultimately accepted the bet.

“Fine! I’ll be waiting for the day you kneel and call me ‘Daddy’!”

Nini smirked.

“Xiyi, you better brace yourself. Who knows? Maybe in just a few days, I’ll have you kneeling and calling your ex-husband, and soon-to-be brother-in-law, ‘Daddy’.”

Bai Xiyi felt a surge of frustration and lowered her head in silence.

Nini, on the other hand, looked triumphant, as if victory was already in her grasp.

Meanwhile, on the other yacht, Ye Chen had just set the autopilot for their return.

Bai Xiyan clung to his arm, her eyes glistening with admiration.

“Husband, you’re amazing!”

Ye Chen chuckled. “How amazing I am, you already know. Don’t play with fire.”

Bai Xiyan pouted. “Hmph! Who’s scared of who? They say only the ox gets worked to death, never the field ruined by plowing. I’m not afraid!”

Ye Chen grinned fiercely. “Heh! I hope you’ll still be this bold later!”

In the end, the little lamb was no match for the big bad wolf.

After lunch, a round of digestive exercise left Bai Xiyan too exhausted to even lift a finger.

She lay sprawled on the sofa in the cabin, staring intently at Ye Chen’s profile as he steered the yacht.

Her heartbeat betrayed her again, speeding up uncontrollably.

“My husband is so handsome!”

Her eyes softened like water.

Ye Chen smiled faintly. “And my wife is so beautiful.”

They exchanged a glance, sharing a sweet, unspoken understanding.

About half an hour later, the yacht docked.

Ye Chen carried a cooler filled with marlin and supported Bai Xiyan, whose legs were still weak, as they stepped ashore.

“Husband, maybe we should postpone the house viewing for a couple of days. My legs are still jelly, ”

“Still boasting about the ‘unruinable field’ now?”

“Hehe, no more, no more! Spare me, husband!”

“Hmph, that depends on my mood.”

“Don’t get too cocky, hubby! Once I get past the beginner phase, you might not be my match!”

“Oh? Is that a challenge?”

“Hehe, guess~”

“…”

As they walked ashore, Bai Xiyi also disembarked from the neighboring yacht. But she didn’t linger, driving off alone without a word.

“Xiyi’s leaving already?”

“She helped save you by killing that shark, at least say thanks!”

Bai Xiyi waved her phone.

“I sent a WeChat message. Alright, I’m off. You two have fun.”

With that, she hopped into her Ferrari and sped away as if fleeing.

Her girlfriends shook their heads, amused.

Soon after, staff from the aquarium owned by Nini’s family arrived and took the injured orca away.

Ye Chen and Bai Xiyan also got into their car and left the marina.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiyi, who had set out in high spirits but returned in frustration, endured her friends’ subtle jabs before retreating alone to the city center.

She had just settled into a high-end restaurant, hoping to soothe her irritation with an elegant afternoon tea, when her phone rang again.

Pulling it out, she frowned at the caller ID.

“Mom?”

“Why is she calling again?”

After a brief hesitation, she finally answered.

“Hey, Mom. What’s up?”

On the other end, Lin Meizhi had the phone on speaker, sitting beside Bai Cheng. Both wore wide, creased smiles.

“Xiyi dear, did you have fun today?”

Bai Xiyi’s lips twitched.

“It was alright.”

Instantly, Lin Meizhi’s smile faltered, and Bai Cheng’s expression darkened.

“Xiyi, Ah Chen took you out on the yacht, catching marlin and even dealing with a shark. How could you not have fun?”

“In Ah Chen’s WeChat Moments video, you were laughing like you were having the time of your life! Why pretend otherwise with me now?”

Bai Xiyi froze.

“Ye Chen posted about it? And I was laughing in it?”

After a pause, realization dawned, and her face twisted in anger.

She and Bai Xiyan were biological sisters, nearly identical in looks and voice. Without careful attention, it was easy to mistake one for the other.

So, the one laughing joyfully in Ye Chen’s video had to be her sister, the one who had stolen her husband!

Unaware of the truth, Lin Meizhi continued, “That’s right! You brat, why keep such good news from me? Ah Chen just posted that he’s bringing marlin for your dad and me! Stop hiding things and hand the phone to him, I want to talk!”

On the other end, Bai Xiyi felt so suffocated she could barely breathe.

Her anticipated afternoon tea suddenly lost all appeal.

Taking a deep breath, her expression turned icy.

“Since you’re all so openly flaunting your happiness, I won’t hide it anymore!”

Gritting her teeth, she spoke into the phone:

“Mom, there’s something I’ve been keeping from you.”

Lin Meizhi perked up. “What? Are you pregnant?! Oh, that’s wonderful! I’ve been waiting for a grandchild forever, and you kept refusing! Thank heavens, you’re finally expecting!”

“Pfft, !”

Bai Xiyi felt as if an arrow had struck her knee. She nearly collapsed.

“Mom, what nonsense are you spouting?! I’m NOT pregnant!”

“And I’m telling you, Ye Chen and I are over! We never got back together!”

“As for why, go ask him!”

“Oh, and by the way, my dear sister is back. Did you know?”

“Heh!”

“She’s done something truly remarkable. When she comes home, you and Dad better give her a proper reward!”

With that, she hung up, then turned off her phone entirely for good measure.

“That bastard!”

“And that stinky little sister!”

“Let’s see how you two clean up this mess!”

“Let’s see how you face the old folks.”

The thought lifted her mood slightly.

Sniffling, she popped a delicate pastry into her mouth.

The sweetness burst on her tongue, making her narrow her eyes in satisfaction.
