Chapter 1522: Chapter 650: I Can’t Be His White Moonlight, But I Can Be His Stepmother!
Ji Xinyan picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a xiaolongbao, and took a bite. She had anticipated Bai Jiao asking this question.
With Dumpling’s intelligence, if she can’t figure it out using the process of elimination, that would be too stupid.
Bai Jiao wasn’t eating, just staring at Ji Xinyan, waiting for an answer.
"What if yes?"
Ji Xinyan retorted, "What if no?"
"No matter who it is, I can’t take this watch!"
Bai Jiao took out a watch box from her bag and placed it on the dining table in front of Ji Xinyan.
"Dumpling, I know you’re smart, and I know your personality. Tell me, do you really not want this watch?"
Ji Xinyan finished the xiaolongbao and picked up another, regrettably without vinegar.
Bai Jiao wanted to say ’I don’t want it,’ but stopped herself. Lying to someone like Ji Xinyan was futile, and she wouldn’t believe it anyway.
"I want it, but I have no reason to take it!"
Bai Jiao spoke the truth.
"Just because this watch is fifty thousand yuan?"
Ji Xinyan chuckled, "Dumpling, your awareness hasn’t improved yet, huh?"
"If you think I’m narrow-minded, just say so!"
Bai Jiao crossed her arms, her face unhappy.
"First of all, giving you this watch doesn’t mean anything else. What’s something you consider valuable is just the cost of a dinner to that person!"
Ji Xinyan explained, "Furthermore, we are classmates after all. I quite admire you, so I don’t want you to sell yourself for tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan!"
"If you really want to sell, please sell to my friend!"
"After all, in my view, your body could bring my friend some joy!"
Bai Jiao fell silent. She knew some girls couldn’t resist the allure of money and would give themselves up for a luxury bag.
Bai Jiao maintained a cool demeanor because the offerings were too cheap to move her. She admitted that if it were a million, she might not withstand it.
For instance, receiving this watch caused Bai Jiao’s mood to fluctuate and wrestle for a while.
"Having a bestie you can talk to as equals isn’t easy!"
Ji Xinyan mused, "So I hope your future goes smoother!"
"Aren’t you a bit arrogant?"
Bai Jiao smirked, "Can you guarantee you’ll live better than me?"
"Let me clarify, our definitions of a good life are definitely different. My demands aren’t as high as yours, plus, I have my dad to back me up!"
Ji Xinyan finished speaking and couldn’t help but smile. Old Master Lin would probably also back her up.
So, this life is steady.
Happy.
Bai Jiao fell silent again. She knew Ji Xinyan was never overly ambitious. The reason she studied and got into Haijing Polytechnic was simply not to waste her talent.
If she had talent in other areas, she would have already delved into them.
"Isn’t Liu Zilu your bestie?"
Bai Jiao started drinking soy milk.
"She’s too insecure, directly positioning herself as my little follower. Many things she says are just to please me!"
Ji Xinyan sighed. She wanted a bestie she could chat with freely and unreservedly, not just an echo.
Of course, considering how clear Liu Zilu was, Ji Xinyan fulfilled her big wish for a blue balloon watch.
"What about Pei Fei?"
Bai Jiao was curious, as Pei Fei often hung out with Ji Xinyan.
"You seem aloof, but we’re actually the same kind of people. Jade is much more traditional than you. Her family upbringing wouldn’t accept some of my ideas and practices!"
Ji Xinyan was self-aware. If she told Pei everything, Pei would definitely look down on her.
Of course, in another decade or so, when Pei Fei reaches middle age and has been beaten down by society, she’ll understand.
"If I had a family background like yours, I would choose to live like you too!"
Bai Jiao admitted she was poor and couldn’t act on a whim.
"I’ll take that as a compliment!"
Ji Xinyan chuckled.
Bai Jiao said no more and started eating breakfast.
Ji Xinyan looked at Bai Jiao. Her fairness was undeniable, but once you stripped away the aloof aura, Dumpling wasn’t particularly appealing!
"Laughing with such confidence?"
Dumpling smirked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal your friend?"
"Dumpling, you’re not his white moonlight, and neither am I!"
Ji Xinyan sighed, "If he was truly committed to me, do you think I’d do these little maneuvers?"
"Love is a process!"
Bai Jiao corrected, "I can become his white moonlight!"
"Then I wish you success!"
Ji Xinyan ate more than half of the buns and pushed the rest to Bai Jiao. "Bought too many!"
"What do Lin Baici’s parents do?"
Bai Jiao held back but eventually couldn’t resist asking.
"I don’t know!"
Ji Xinyan laughed, "Dumpling, you’re getting too attached!"
Bai Jiao couldn’t be bothered to respond to Ji Xinyan. After finishing breakfast, wiping her mouth with a napkin, and packing up her watch box, Bai Jiao cleaned up and left. After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned back and said.
"I may not be able to be his white moonlight, but I can be his stepmother!"
"To have a son as handsome as Lin Baici, his dad must not be ugly. Even if he’s ugly, it doesn’t matter; I’m not about appearances anyway!"
Bai Jiao was curious about what kind of charm Lin Baici had that made Ji Xinyan appreciate him so.
Though Ji Xinyan claimed she was a face dog, if it were just about looks, she wouldn’t be friends with him.
Deep down, Ji Xinyan was attracted to an interesting soul.
"Haha, that’s quite a sharp comeback!"
Ji Xinyan nodded, "That’s the kind of bestie and rival I want!"
"Xin Yan, take my advice. Even a girl as outstanding as Zhu Qiunan can’t win Lin Baici’s heart. You should give up while you can!"
Bai Jiao advised.
She admitted she wasn’t as good as Zhu Qiunan, so regarding Lin Baici, she had no thoughts. However, she was curious about how enticing Lin Baici’s white moonlight must be to make him reject a scholarly beauty multiple times.
"Look at you, still thinking that marriage certificate is everything!"
Ji Xinyan shook her head, "All I want is happiness!"
...
At nine in the morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows into the master bedroom.
Lin Baici opened his eyes, sensing something wasn’t right. He furrowed his eyebrows, lifted the blanket, and took a look.
Then he saw Big Sweet Sister lying there, sticking out her little tongue, licking an ice pop.
"Hungry!"
Big Sweet Sister grinned awkwardly.
Lin Baici skipped class, got up after ten. "Where do you want to eat?"
"You’ll join me?"
Song Tian was pleasantly surprised. She thought Lin Baici might send her away.
"What else?"
Lin Baici sighed.
"How about some French cuisine?"
Song Tian wanted a romantic French dinner with Lin Baici, with candles and red wine.
"Whatever!"
Lin Baici said, finishing his sentence just as the phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and raised an eyebrow.
It was Qi Heng, the rich second generation he met at Haijing’s ONE Bar. Did he have a lead on the Buddha Beads bracelet?

Before Lin Baici could speak, Qi Heng’s respectful voice came through, "God Lin, there’s news!"
