Tell me, how many wedding guests do you plan to invite?
Bai Yao didn’t expect Ren Xingliu to appear here. After a moment of daze, he came to his senses and showed a kiss-ass smile. “Young Master Ren, why are you here?”
Ren Xingliu ignored his flattery and still glared at him with a displeased expression. “Who were you just badmouthing?”
At this point, Bai Yao still hadn’t connected Ren Xingliu with Bai Juanqiu. Deep in his heart, he truly believed that Ren Xingliu would never value Bai Juanqiu, and there was never going to have a follow-up in their blind date.
When Ren Xingliu appeared, he only took it as a coincidence. Since Ren Xingliu was a student here, it wasn’t all that weird for him to appear here.
Plus, he was the one who called Bai Juanqiu over.
It was Ren Xingliu’s anger that made him unable to touch his head. Was it something he said that sounded too unpleasant?
But Ren Xingliu’s words were obviously more unpleasant…
Electricity made a round in Bai Yao's heart as he quickly had an idea. He quickly shook off the pot on him and said, “Young Master Ren, you misunderstood. I wasn’t badmouthing. It was just I didn’t think my cousin would do something like this, and the heat of the moment got to me…”
He even let out a long sigh in the middle of his speech, with a hateful face that the iron couldn’t become steel. “Originally, my whole family was happy that he got a chance to meet you, but to think he actually packed your leftovers home. Isn’t it the same as throwing your face away? I just wanted to teach him a lesson in your place…”
As he said that, he checked on Ren Xingliu out of the corner of his eyes. Everyone in Ling University knew that Young Master Ren spoke extravagance when out and about. He would definitely hop about when hearing this.
Sure enough, Ren Xingliu’s face turned not good looking, but he didn’t get angry at Bai Juanqiu. Instead, he was staring dagger at Bai Yao, chiding, “That’s my leftovers.”
Bai Yao’s unfinished words were put on hold: “…?”
The few people watching the show from the sidelines: “???”
An awkward aura permeated the corridor.
All of them had the same thought at this moment. They must have heard it wrong, right?
Ren Xingliu didn’t care what they were thinking. He scoffed and continued, “If you’re too full, you are better off finding an electronics factory to work at, instead of pointing fingers at this great one!”
Bai Yao: “!!”
He finally understood, but he might as well not understand it at all.
If it wasn’t for Ren Xingliu’s super cocky manner that was identical from before, he would have wondered whether he had mistaken someone else.
But no matter how much shock he had eaten into his stomach, he didn’t dare to question Ren Xingliu in person. He could only toughen his scalp and widen his kiss-ass smile. “Young Master Ren, my apologies. I didn’t know this was your takeout box. It’s just that I thought it was my cousin since he is carrying it…”
Speaking of which, he was stunned by his own words as he finally realized where the problem lay in this whole matter. If the leftover was Ren Xingliu, why would they be in Bai Juanqiu’s possession?
If Bai Juanqiu wasn’t the one carrying the takeout bag, he wouldn’t have made the wrong assumption.
Retrospectively, Bai Yao realized something, and he couldn’t believe it. He gulped and asked in hesitation, “Young Master Ren, you can’t be here…with my cousin?”
Ren Xingliu found Bai Yao’s behavior laughable. He raised his eyebrows and deliberately countered, “Is there a problem with that?”
Bai Yao: “!!”
How could this be?
Ren Xingliu, who had a high vision, was just wooing the Pei Family’s young master a few days ago.
Other than Bai Juanqiu’s decent face, he was vastly different from Pei Xianzhi in other aspects. Even if Ren Xingliu got into trouble, he would never be interested in Bai Juanqiu!
But the fact was standing right in front of him. Ren Xingliu’s temper was notorious. If he didn’t choose Bai Juanqiu, why would he be here with Bai Juanqiu?
Things were going beyond what Bai Yao had planned. For a moment, his mind was in a stage of chaos. However, from the bottom of his heart, there was a glimmer of hope. With a stiff face, he asked, “Young Master Ren, you and my cousin…”

“Oh, I forgot to inform everyone. I have settled for Bai Juanqiu.” Ren Xingliu didn’t wait for him to finish his question. Taking a step forward, he placed his good hand on Bai Juanqiu’s shoulder, saying with sincere affection, “It was love at first sight with Bai Juanqiu. As soon as I saw him, I knew he was the one who I’m destined to be with, so I had already formally asked him out, which he accepted—Sigh, we are really a match made in heaven!”

Even one of Bai Yao’s underlings couldn’t resist asking in a low voice, “But, Young Master Ren, weren’t you just wooing Young Master Pei a few days ago?”
“Shut up.” Ren Xingliu fiercely glared at him. “Don’t mention another in front of Juanqiu. From now on, I only have Juanqiu in my heart, so will you all stop smudging me black!”
More importantly, he didn’t want to hear about his dark history anymore!

Bai Yao was really panicking now. It was fine if Ren Xingliu had settled with Bai Juanqiu, because the explanation could be bewitched by beauty, if barely.
So, what was with this full-on love brain look?
He wasn’t going to hold Bai Juanqiu by the waist in the future, right?
In Bai Yao’s view, Bai Juanqiu was going to be an ant at the Bai Family’s mercy for the rest of his life, however, once he had a backing like Ren Xingliu, even an ant might be able to step on his head.
But he was so accustomed to going through the drill camp, that even if he was a mess inside, he was still maintaining his bootlicking smile. “That’s tremendous. If you and my cousin are really together, then we are brothers then…”
Not bad. Although he could no longer trample on the ant, it wasn’t entirely a bad thing. After all, this ant was his cousin, it was only fair for him to get some of that glory.
But before he could finish, Ren Xingliu ruthlessly interrupted, “Before you say that, have you asked for Bai Juanqiu’s opinion on this?”
Bai Yao was taken aback. “What?”
“Although I do like Juanqiu a great deal, no way can I regard anyone who he has connection with as a relative. Otherwise, even if my family has ten household registrations, it wouldn’t be enough.” Ren Xingliu looked at Bai Juanqiu when he said this, showing an indulging look. “If you want to be my brother, you need to get Juanqiu’s consent first… You will be the younger brother only if Juanqiu says you are.”
Bai Yao: “…!”
He suspected that Ren Xingliu was acting in a way that reeked of a yin-yang aura, but he had no evidence!
More importantly, why did Ren Xingliu become like this? When he was pursuing Pei Xianzhi, he wasn’t this braindead!
Did Bai Juanqiu learn witchcraft behind the Bai Family’s back?
Unbeknownst to Bai Yao, Bai Juanqiu was also getting the goosebumps by Ren Xingliu’s indulging gaze like a domineering CEO. He had to admit, despite not knowing much about Young Master Ren, one thing he knew was the youth’s ability to sass.
But if he allowed the youth to continue this, it might get to the point where he reached his limit and be the one who exposed them.
Thinking this over, Bai Juanqiu might as well throw caution to the wind. He reached out and grabbed Ren Xingliu by the waist, saying with a straight face, “Forget them. I don’t want to see him anymore. Let’s go.”
If anything, this waist was very delicate, thin enough where he could even wrap one arm around it.
Bai Yao and his group’s eyes were about to fall out of sockets.
There could be moments when Young Master Ren was held by the waist???
Was this even a scene they could witness?
Ren Xingliu also found this stance quite strange, but for a moment, he couldn’t say why. By then, he was already whisked away by Bai Juanqiu.
He was clearly still discontented because as they walked, he continued to urge, “Juanqiu, if you have suffered any injustice, you must not bear it. You must tell me…”
“…Okay.” Bai Juanqiu had to tighten his hand somewhat, gesturing for Ren Xingliu to talk less, otherwise, he was going to lose his composure.
Sadly, they haven’t cultivated enough chemistry between themselves yet. Ren Xingliu didn’t receive the signal, and he even complained, “You’re hugging me too tightly. I’m feeling bashful.”
Bai Juanqiu: “…”
Bai Yao and his group: “……”
Instant suffocation!
It wasn’t until Ren Xingliu and Bai Juanqiu walked far away enough that Bai Yao and his group came to their senses. They exchanged looks with each other. After some time had passed, someone said in a trembling tone, “Yao-ge, it seems that Young Master Ren has really…taken a liking to your cousin.”
“Will your cousin retaliate against us for what we had just said?”
Bai Yao’s face was so overcast that it was as if rain was about to start dripping. After a while, he gritted his teeth and huffed, “Afraid of what? Ren Xingliu had just found something new, that’s it.”
…
After leaving those people’s sight, Bai Juanqiu finally let go of Ren Xingliu’s waist and apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t intend to take advantage of you…”
“I understand.” Ren Xingliu dismissed with a wave of his hand. “I didn’t eat any deficiency. I placed my arm around your shoulder as well.”
“…”
That was a very strong logic.
Bai Juanqiu lightly cleared his throat. “Thank you.”
He was no fool. Ren Xingliu and Bai Yao were without grudges and without hatred. What transpired just now was the intention to defend him.
He pondered for a moment and said, “You don’t need to trouble yourself next time.”
Since he wasn’t really bullied that badly. It wasn’t meaningful enough for Young Master Ren to show his head.
“It’s not all for you.” Ren Xingliu was indifferent to the matter and waved his hand. “Your cousin has long been a sight of sore eye for a long time.”
He wasn’t lying. Bai Yao loved to curry favor, devising all sorts of ways to squeeze into Ren Xingliu’s circle of silk pants. He also often believed himself to be Young Master Ren’s friends in public.
It was just before his transmigration, he himself had been causing trouble all day long, and although he looked down upon Bai Yao, he was too lazy to do anything about Bai Yao.
Now it was different. Ren Xingliu was determined to improve his image, which meant not allowing this kind of person to tarnish his reputation any further.
Bai Juanqiu didn’t dwell on this. He smiled and said, “Then in the future, if you need my help in any way, just holler.”
Just as he finished speaking, Ren Xingliu’s phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was from ‘Empress Dowager’. He gestured to Bai Juanqiu and said, “Sorry, I have to take this call.”
Bai Juanqiu nodded and took two steps away.
Ren Xingliu accepted the call, but before he could speak, Ren Zhu was already talking away like a firecracker, “Xingliu, the Zou Family just called me, saying how his young son is very pleased with the blind date. I can tell this child has a great stomach size, and conditions offered by the Zou Family are quite sincere. Since you haven’t chosen anyone suitable, why not let me make the decision for you…”
As soon as Ren Xingliu heard this, his hair stood on end.
The ‘young son’ was the same one who made the proposal, where he would find lovers for Ren Xingliu. This wasn’t just any ordinary stomach size!
Fortunately, he was prepared!
He quickly interrupted, “Mother, I have already chosen someone!”
“What?” Ren Zhu asked after a moment of hesitation, “Who did you settle for?”
Ren Xingliu said, “The one from today, Bai Juanqiu.”
“The one from the Bai Family?” Ren Zhu clearly didn’t expect this answer. After a long silence, she said in a deep tone, “What tricks are you playing?”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to trust Ren Xingliu, but candidates like Bai Juanqiu hadn’t been on her radar from the beginning.
Not because she looked down on Bai Juanqiu. On the contrary, it was one she really hoped that Ren Xingliu would choose.
It was just that she understood her son’s character too well. This Bai Juanqiu had a very simple background and seemed to go by the rules. Not the type of person Ren Xingliu would like at all.
However, it was only because Ren Xingliu was so picky these days and kept saying how he wanted to find one he could have a life with, she purposely arranged for such a person in a fit of pique.
Not to mention her as the mother, as well as the rest of Ling City, knew that there wasn’t a time when Young Master Ren ever liked a ‘have a life’ person.
So, when Ren Xingliu said that he had settled for Bai Juanqiu, Ren Zhu’s first thought was that her son was looking for an excuse to buy time.
She wouldn’t let him fool her this time. “Don’t try to pass this level with deception. If you really have settled with Bai Juanqiu, prove it by bringing him for me to see…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ren Xingliu replied at the next beat, “Okay, give me a second.”
Ren Zhu: “?”
The next second, she heard Ren Xingliu shout to the side, “Juanqiu, can you come over for a moment.”
Bai Juanqiu had just taken a few steps away but was already called back by Ren Xingliu.
Ren Xingliu made an eye signal at him and handed his phone to him, frantically hinting, “My mother wanted to see you.”
Bai Juanqiu understood and cleared his throat before answering the phone, saying politely, “Hello, Ms. Ren. This is Bai Juanqiu.”
It was obvious that Ren Zhu was stunned, as it took her a while for things to sink in. Once she came to her senses, she quickly returned the greeting before asking, “You guys are still together?”
She called Ren Xingliu for a discussion only at this time, because she thought that the blind date would be over by now, and they should have gone their separate ways.
But her son was still with Bai Juanqiu, so could this be…
Ren Zhu’s heart was pounding, unable to believe such a great thing had happened.
Bai Juanqiu chuckled and said, seemingly embarrassed, “That’s right, Ms. Ren. We had just finished the meal, but I wanted to send Ren Xingliu back to the campus because of his injury.”
Ren Zhu: “!”
Ren Xingliu, that stinky brat. If he didn’t really fancy the person, he wouldn’t have asked the other person to accompany him.
Ren Zhu was torn between disbelief and speechlessness. “Oh, if that’s the case, I won’t disturb the two of you then…”
She actually had so many questions, but for once, Ren Xingliu took an interest in a proper individual. With great consideration, she had to end the conversation, out of the fear of holding up on them cultivating their feelings. Even so, her tone filled with reluctance after three rounds of internal debate, “Then that will be the end for now. If your time permits, drop by with Ren Xingliu.”
“Will do.” Bai Juanqiu accepted without hesitation, “I’ll discuss it over with Xingliu.”
He politely bid goodbye before returning the phone to Ren Xingliu.
“Mother, then I’ll hang up now…” However, Ren Xingliu was interrupted by Ren Zhu before he could finish.
Ren Zhu took on a serious tone, with a hint of impatience, “Tell me, how many tables do you plan to have for the wedding banquet?”
Ren Xingliu: “???”
The author has something to say:
Xingliu: If you’re too full, you might as well find an electronics factory to work at.
Xiao Chen: Do you know how to attach the dolls’ eyes?
Xu Tu, Bai Yao: … (Curled up sobbing)
RZ was in disbelief. Her son just woke up and decided to ‘change’ his life. Of course she can’t come around this fact and thinks he is acting.
Ahh!! RX and his sass!! Bye bye ugly cousin~
