Chapter 771 Gag

Since Yu Qiubai had made up his mind to woo her, he went all out and threw his dignity aside. He was ready to beg, borrow, and steal to get his girl.

“So you can’t wait at all?” Shen Tang questioned with a smile.

“Of course, I can’t wait. Now that you have your vision back, you’ll see better-looking men. You’d think I’m ugly and lose interest in me. You’re going to abandon me, aren’t you?” Yu Qiubai spoke matter-of-factly without shame.

He had been plagued by insecurities since he begged her to be with him. Yu Qiubai believed that she agreed to be his girlfriend because she was moved by his persistence.

Shen Tang saw him as a younger brother for a long time. However, he did not want to be regarded as a brother. Yu Qiubai wanted to be her man.

“Apart from you, who else pays so much attention to a blind person like me?” Shen Tang clung to his arm and leaned in for a kiss. She was brought back to the past year of all the things he did for her. She made a mental note of every single detail. All these things added up to one beautiful memory.

Taken aback, Yu Qiubai held his breath and looked into her eyes, “Are you sure you won’t leave me no matter what the future holds or how many outstanding and good-looking men go after you?”

“I swear.” Shen Tang raised her hand. Looking at his solemn face, she extended her arm to give it a pinch. “Can you promise you won’t leave when I grow old and ugly?”

She was older than him by five years. Shen Tang should be the one worried. Hence, she did not allow herself to accept and dive into the relationship headfirst despite knowing his feelings.

Boys had not reached maturity at that age. Perhaps it was only a spur of a moment for Yu Qiubai, or maybe he took pity on her.

More than just being moved by him later on, she liked him too. Somehow, sometime, somewhere, Shen Tang started to develop feelings for him.

By the time she looked back and realized it, the feelings had only gotten stronger. “Of course.” Yu Qiubai lifted his hand to swear. “My heart, my person, up and down, inside out, belong to you and only you for the rest of my life.” He had just finished his sentence.

“Tangtang.”

Shen Xi called from the back. Gazing at the sweet couple, she was cringing by their mushiness.

Yu Qiubai was made of perseverance. Only God knew how many rejections he took from Tangtang in the past year, and still, he persisted and got the girl. He stole Tangtang’s heart and soul.

Shen Tang’s cheeks burned when she heard Shen Xi’s voice. She turned back to find Mrs. Yu together with Shen Xi and Li Yuan. Feeling embarrassed, she wanted to push Yu Qiubai away. Yu Qiubai held her hand tightly, not allowing her to shrink back into her shell. It was normal for couples to be intimate.

Besides, they were only holding hands. It was not like they were venturing into the third or fourth base in public.

“Your mom is here.” Shen Tang did not have skin as thick as his. As a rather conservative girl, she felt it was improper to behave that way in front of her elders.

“My mom is happy.” Yu Qiubai looked back and greeted the approaching trio. He gazed at them. “Thank you for picking up my mother.” That day, Mom’s health took a toll after she learned that Li Yuan was still alive.

Later, Xixi brought Li Yuan along to visit her. With things out in the open, Mom was lifted off of her internal troubles and started to get better thereafter.

Following two months of recuperation, her health bounced back in body and mind.

Mom wanted to visit Li Yuan during the New Year. However, she had the feeling that she and the whole Fifth family owed him too much.

Although ashamed, Mom secretly bore hope. Yu Qiubai, on the other hand, did not carry the same emotional baggage. He spoke with Xixi and Li Yuan, and they happily obliged.

Mrs. Yu looked at her son and future daughter-in-law. The more she looked at them, the more she approved and believed they made a cute couple. She drew close and smiled lovingly as her son held hands with the girl.

She had been living her life in a haze that she could not take good care of her son and watch him grow up. In fact, Mrs. Yu became her son’s problem. Yu Qiubai had to run around and care for a nutcase.

“Mrs. Yu.” Shen Tang squeezed Yu Qiubai’s hand to finally escape from his clutches. Walking up to Mrs. Yu, Shen Tang chatted with her in delight. Shen Xi smiled provokingly and braggingly at Yu Qiubai while clinging intimately to Li Yuan’s arm.

Yu Qiubai, “…”

Sure, show off!

As if no one was ever in love. He had a girlfriend too. He was no longer a single guy, subject to their public display of affection!

With the arrival of Shen Xi’s group, they were all set and ready to go. The group bustled into Li Yuan’s private plane to fly to the Fu family’s residence.

The passengers on the plane consisted of the Shen family – Shen Zhangqing, Yun Jinping, Yu Yuanxi, Song Wenye, Granny Yu, Shen Zhanglin’s family, and Yu Qiubai who pulled some strings to tag along.

Song Wenye bought some snacks for the flight. She took out the food and laid it on the table before pulling Shen Xi and Shen Tang over for snack time.

The three girls chatted, laughed, and ate. They even drove away Yu Qiubai and Shen Feng who wanted in on the fun.

Yun Jinping was talking with Du Juan, Granny Yu, and Mrs. Yu about the kids.

Since getting on the plane, Li Yuan had been dragged to play chess with Shen Zhangqing. Shen Zhanglin was watching from the side and had booked the next round. He was up next to replace the loser.

After they were kicked out of the girls’ circle, Yu Qiubai and Shen Feng might as well play mobile games as they had nothing better to do. Song Wenye’s pets were unable to sit still as they scrambled around the plane, scurrying here and there.

As for Toffeecito, Lu Guoguo and Lu Zhen could not have enough of it. Two days ago, Fu Qingli took Toffeecito with him when he brought the kids back to the Fu family’s home.

The girls were gossiping by the window about someone close to Shen Xi. It was Gong Zhi, the film star. She was in love and about to settle down.

Song Wenye knew all the inside stories. “The man is the fifth son of the Jiang family and younger than Gong Zhi by a decade. He is a handsome gentleman.” “How is he compared to your Qingye?” Shen Xi asked with a smile.

“Can that ever be a question?” Song Wenye was not having it as the idol was nothing but perfection in her eyes as a fan. “No one is more outstanding than my Qingye in the world. You hear me? No one!”

She then suddenly covered her mouth and began to gag.

Shen Xi and Shen Tang exchanged glances before their minds came to one conclusion. Their gaze was fixed on her belly.
