BXBX NOVEL Chapter 126 Time With Li Lin
Bai Chen still had his eyes on Li Lin, smiling, even then her pretty face was showing a tiny bit of anger.
As for what she had said, of course, he would agree. He just had not said so yet.
Bai Chen intended to tease her and was quite pleased to see her getting slightly angry.
Her question earlier was referring to a party her family was throwing for her parents’ anniversary. She wanted to know if Bai Chen would want to come with her.
But because he was hesitant, she got a little angry, as could be seen at the moment.
“What do you say? Are you coming or not?” Li Lin asked once more. Her pretty face showed her patience was wearing thin.
Bai Chen shook his head, smiling. He thought that was enough teasing. “Of course, I will go with you.”
“That was all that was needed!” Li Lin looked at Bai Chen with annoyed eyes. She started to catch on that he was teasing. If not, he would have agreed right away.
“When is this anniversary party for your parents going to be? And where?”
Bai Chen saw her pretty face turning redder by the minute. He had to quickly ask questions to distract her.
The redness on her face was not caused by shyness, but rather more anger.
When the situation got to that point, Bai Chen could not do anything but try to distract her with questions.
Li Lin scoffed. She thought that since this nasty person had come back from Dong Hai Island, he had gotten even more annoying.
She tried to calm herself down before replying. “This Sunday.”
“Sunday?” Bai Chen asked to be sure.
“Yes.” Li Lin nodded. “This Sunday, starting at 5 p.m. The venue is, of course, my house.”
“Okay, so I will see you at your place on Sunday...”
Bai Chen had not even finished his sentence when he realised that joining this wedding anniversary party meant meeting Li Lin’s parents!
And meeting them could be compared to meeting his future in-laws!
Bai Chen, who was serious about dating Li Lin and marrying her, would naturally think that meeting her parents was like meeting with his future father and mother-in-law.
His expression gradually changed. Now, he appeared quite troubled.
He had no idea what her parents might think if they found out about their relationship.
Even though Bai Chen now had a million yuan in his pocket, compared to the wealthiest family in Xing Zhou city, that was nothing. It was like comparing a drop of rain against a vast ocean.
He had met them before, but that was when he went as Xi Dong. Thus, he had not been able to gauge what Li Lin’s parents\' reactions would be if they met him as himself.
“What are you thinking?”
When she saw Bai Chen suddenly pause and change his facial expressions, Li Lin asked this.
Bai Chen abruptly came out of his reverie and chose to think about this later.
“Nothing. Let’s order. I’m starting to get hungry.”
Bai Chen smiled and called out to the owner who was grilling some beef on skewers. “Mister, ten beef skewers and two plates of rice with Peking duck.”
“Sure thing,” the owner responded. Even though the stall sold barbecue meat skewers, it also sold other kinds of food, such as rice bowls and snacks.
Li Lin blinked her round, adorable eyes and looked at Bai Chen suspiciously. She did not ask him anything further; she just sat and waited for the food to come.
At the same time, her mood improved quite a lot, since Bai Chen had already agreed to come to her parents’ anniversary party.
Not even ten minutes had passed when all the food Bai Chen ordered was served. The smell of the beef skewers spread across the whole area.
Bai Chen smiled and said, “Let’s eat.”
p
She discovered its taste was not bad at all; it was quite tasty. She could not help but say, “The taste isn’t so bad.”
“I told you this place was good.” Bai Chen picked up a beef skewer, too. He found that it was a taste he was familiar with; it was a taste he had not eaten in a long time.
Of course, in his previous life, before he had time-traveled back, he used to come here for these skewers.
“Mm-hmm.” Li Lin did not say anything further. She just nodded in agreement and kept quietly eating.
Now that the two of them got to spend time together, it was clear that their relationship was improving.
Li Lin had given Bai Chen a warning before, so he was a bit frightened. But after a while, she had not brought it up at all. That fact relaxed him a little bit.
He felt comfortable to the point that he had been able to tease her earlier.
They spent around fifteen minutes eating until they were full. Li Lin ate considerably less than Bai Chen.
After paying the owner of the stall, Bai Chen took Li Lin for a walk in Xing Xiang Park. It was almost 6 p.m.
The park was still quite crowded. Some people were sitting and relaxing, while some were exercising. There were people no matter where they looked.
Bai Chen and Li Lin were taking a walk on the park’s pathway.
Li Lin followed a little behind Bai Chen, her gaze fixed upon his back. Her heart was filled with the complex emotions she had for him.
In her heart, she was unsure whether she really liked him, even though they had kissed a few times already.
But that was nothing weird. She had let him kiss her just because she lost bets. It was not because of any love or affection.
However, what had happened confused Li Lin very much. Her feelings towards him now were very complicated.
‘Or do I like Bai Chen?’
Li Lin could not help but wonder. She thought back to when they had shared a kiss and her face got hot. Red spots appeared on both her cheeks; her heart pounded faster.
‘I probably really like Bai Chen.’
When she realised that, it seemed as though she really understood her own feelings.
In her mind, there was certainly a greater chance of her liking him rather than disliking him. As for the things he had done to her as a child, she had already forgiven him.
After becoming aware of these feelings, Li Lin’s face grew hotter. She looked at Bai Chen with different emotions immediately.
Bai Chen, who was walking in front, did not notice any of this in the slightest.
They both spent some more time walking and talking about various topics until they said goodbye and went back home.End of Chapter 126
