Chapter 677
When Bai Peiluan heard, she responded sarcastically, “Sister, I know who that best friend you’re talking about is. The phrase ‘passing away without illness’ can only mean they were not destined to be together.”
Bai Lanwu laughed awkwardly. It wasn’t her place to comment on other people’s relationships. Besides, that best friend of hers eventually found happiness in a marriage, so there was no need to bring up the past.
However, Bai Peiluan glared at Ye Baixiu. It was all his fault for being so likable. Over the years, her sister’s best friend never stopped trying to expose the fact that she wasn’t Bai Peiluan. She had no idea how many times she had fended off such attempts. Luckily, she had always managed to dodge these figurative bullets.
Even now, whenever her sister’s best friend saw her, she would give her the cold shoulder. The two of them were mutually disdainful of each other.
“I’m a bit tired. Xingguang, can you show me to the room you prepared for me?” Song Chuanqi became a bit frustrated, got up, and wanted to go rest.
Bai Lanwu wanted to accompany her husband, but Song Chuanqi pressed down on her shoulder, signaling her to stay seated. “You two sisters continue catching up. I’ll have Xingguang look after me.”
...
Song Chuanqi felt bitter. He didn’t want to see his wife, but Bai Lanwu didn’t notice at all.noveldrama
Ye Xingguang accompanied Song Chuanqi to his room, efficiently made the bed, and helped Song Chuanqi lie down.
“Dad, are you not feeling well?” His face seemed gloomy.
While lying on the bed, Song Chuanqi replied flatly, “No.”
“Then, are you feeling upset?”
Song Chuanqi’s voice remained stern, “Also no.”
He was just frustrated. He couldn’t tolerate that he was less important in his wife’s heart than a best friend.
Ye Xingguang had people pack up everything from the hospital and organize it in the dressing room. She arranged tea cups and such by the bedside. After busying herself for a while, she finally finished her tasks. She pulled up a chair and sat down beside the bed, keeping Song Chuanqi company.
“Dad, how come you’re the Crown Prince of the S country? You’ve never mentioned this to me before.” She was completely taken aback.
“There’s nothing surprising about it. I have no interest in royal power,” Song Chuanqi didn’t feel like talking, he was sulking.
Ye Baixiu was standing at the door, knocking, “May I come in?”
Ye Xingguang immediately let him in.
Ye Baixiu said, “Xingguang, you should go and keep your mom company. Let me talk to your father.”
Ye Xingguang hesitated for a second, but then she heard Song Chuanqi’s voice, “Go ahead, remember to close the door.”
After Ye Xingguang left, Ye Baixiu made sure to lock the door.
After confirming that no one else could enter, Ye Baixiu walked over to the bed and said with a smile, “Father-in-law, how do you feel?”
Song Chuanqi kept a straight face, not saying a word.
Ye Baixiu sat down on the chair and said, “Ah, I understand how you feel. Just think about it this way though. Your wife didn’t reject you because she didn’t like you. It was because of friendship. Besides, it all worked out in the end. Didn’t you finally win her over? As men, we need to be magnanimous. Look at me, my wife complains about my snoring at night. I’d like to be upset, but even my sons don’t side with me! We’re really in the same boat here. It’s a pity you can’t drink alcohol now, otherwise we could have a few drinks tonight.”
In the same boat? He had the feeling that Ye Baixiu was here to gloat!
Song Chuanqi said, “You’ve taken over my body, my identity, and you still say these meaningless things. Don’t you feel guilty? What if I tell your wife that you’re not Ye Baixiu, but the Crown Prince of S country? Would she still marry you then?”
