Chapter 415: 384 Simen: Let go of me... (2 more updates)

Before Bai Simen could answer, Patriarch Bai retorted for her, "She’s free to have a boyfriend, why does she have to inform you? I’m telling you, Bai Dingkai, in this period, you’d better watch your back when you’re around people."

"Also, if you dare to bully Menmen again, I won’t give you time to work. You’ll go straight back to Beijing to reflect behind closed doors, got it?"

"Got it, Grandpa," Bai Dingkai replied.

In front of Patriarch Bai, Bai Dingkai didn’t dare to act up.

"Alright, I’m in a good mood today, you should thank Lu Han and Tang Su. Otherwise, I’d have your dad come over and drag you back right now."

"Thank you, Grandpa, for letting me off this time. I won’t dare do it again," said Bai Dingkai.

The reason Bai Dingkai was being so obedient was that he wanted to end the call with the old man as soon as possible. He had something to ask Bai Simen.

She got a boyfriend, for real?

Was it that guy from the other day, the one who said, ’Your darling’s calling’?

"Menmen, are you staying over tonight?" Patriarch Bai asked Bai Simen in a tender and loving tone.

He adored his daughters, but his wife was particularly good at giving birth to sons. All sons. It took so much effort to have a daughter, and yet, she was lost.

Later, he adopted a girl who looked much like his daughter and gave her his daughter’s original name.

When Weiwei was found, she refused to change her first name, agreeing only to change her surname.

He agreed to it.

Simen was adopted too. At the time, he just felt the little girl was pitiable.

He wanted her to grow up well in the Bai Family, to have a happy life, but then that brat, Bai Dingkai...

"Grandpa, I can’t tonight. There are still things to do at the set, I need to go back," Bai Simen said.

Bai Simen was eager to finish work, so on set, she worked hard to mediate and appease everyone.

She hoped everyone would cooperate and wrap up the shooting quickly.

He hadn’t quite understood before why she was working so hard. Now it seemed she probably wanted to finish work quickly so she could spend time with her boyfriend, right?

Heh, wishful thinking.

He was curious to see what was so charming about Bai Simen’s little puppy, intriguing enough to bewitch someone as usually aloof as her more than she had been into him back then.

"Bai Dingkai, you better leave quickly too. I: don’t want to see you," said Patriarch Bai.

Seeing that Simen was unwilling to stay, Patriarch Bai didn’t want that scoundrel to stay either.

And so, the two of them left only after Lu Han and Tang Su had almost reached home.

When they had come, they had driven one car, with Bai Dingkai holding the keys.

Bai Simen went to open the passenger door, but Bai Dingkai didn’t unlock it.

"Second brother, open the door. I have an important call to make soon," she said.

"Huh, calling your little puppy?" Bai Dingkai sneered with a sour tone.

The thought that she once claimed to like him pricked his heart like a thorn.

Back then, she clearly said in person that in this lifetime, Bai Simen liked only one man, Bai Dingkai.

So words spoken could be worthless, right?

"Bai Dingkai, don’t be so sarcastic. Otherwise, I might think you’re jealous," Bai Simen turned to glance at him. After spending so many days together, she knew it wasn’t a solution to keep avoiding him.

Sometimes, facing the issue head-on was better than dodging it.

Bai Simen also knew that the women who could make Bai Dingkai jealous could be Lin Jiaojiao, or any of his other ex-girlfriends, but it could definitely not be her.

He slept with her, and it was originally an accident, not out of love.

Why it happened several more times afterward, she could not explain clearly, yet she knew he could never love her.

After all, in this world, which brother could love his own sister so heartlessly?

Even if they had no blood relation, but once she entered the Bai Family’s door and called out "Second Brother Bai," Bai Dingkai had said that he would be her brother forever, promising to protect her, to never let her be afraid.

During the days he looked after her, she actually lived quite well.

On weekends, he would drive to her school to pick her up, making her the envy of all.

He was very popular with the girls, handsome, and university students might not exchange love letters much, but there were also many girls who secretly liked him and asked her to pass on their love letters to him.

Of course, he never read those letters; it was mostly she who read them.

Between the lines, their affection for him was evident.

Even she couldn’t help but project herself into their place eventually.

It was she who first started to damage the originally pure relationship between them, so all these years she never hated him, even when she had to have an abortion under his forceful approach.

She never hated him, because she loved him.

When she loved him very deeply, she naively promised him that she would only like him in this lifetime.

But all that was in the past, truly in the past.

She finally convinced herself to stop dwelling on the past, to look forward, that her life could go on without Bai Dingkai.

She succeeded; that’s why she dared to come back.

This time, to forget Bai Dingkai, to accept a life without him, it took her three years.

She didn’t want to waste those three years, so it was better if Bai Dingkai stayed away from tempting her.

Otherwise, she truly didn’t know, the next time he got bored and left her, if she would be able to recover.

"Heh—"

Bai Dingkai sneered, turned around, and like a leopard hunting its prey, swiftly clamped down on Bai Simen’s jaw, tilting her small face up to a forty-five-degree angle, just so the outside street lamp would alight upon her face nicely.

"Bai Simen, you think you’re pretty? That I would be jealous for you?" Bai Dingkai raised an eyebrow.

Bai Simen was actually not bad-looking, but it depended on who she was compared to.

Compared to Bai Dingkai’s ex-rumored girlfriends, Bai Simen truly wasn’t as attractive, her features not as delicate, and she wasn’t suited for the spotlight.

But her appearance was indeed not ugly; even if she didn’t have instant stunning beauty, it was the kind that could withstand the test of time.

The sort that grew on you the more you looked.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have had the chance to work for He Jingtian.

He Jingtian was someone who judged by appearances.

If he liked someone beautiful, he would pursue them.

Men are dogs, especially those rich men; to them, what are women really?

Playthings?

When they liked them, they teased like playing with a dog, and when they no longer liked them, they treated women like a dirty rag that could be thrown as far away as possible.

She never had any expectations of Bai Dingkai, so hearing his cold mockery, Bai Simen, who was psychologically prepared, remained emotionally unaffected.

Bai Simen’s phone rang at just the right moment, but Bai Dingkai showed no intention of letting her go, as if waiting for her to answer.

"Let me go—" Bai Simen’s brows knitted tightly.
