A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 129

Qi Qi (2)

However, after some thought, Bai Qi shook his head and said, “People who have been taking care of their ill family members for a long time suffer immensely. There’s a possibility that they’ll throw things at us in rage... So, forget it, it’ll be best if you don’t go.”

Xi Chengyun didn’t agree or disagree with Bai Qi’s suggestion.

He gently patted Bai Qi on his shoulder as he stood up and said, “I’ll have a talk with your father. We should give him a heads up about this issue. If it wasn’t because of me, the speculative accounts wouldn’t have gone to dig into your family’s history.” “It’s my fault that your family is in this predicament.”

Bai Qi was flustered.

He stared at him with beady eyes and said, “It’s not your fault... We didn’t try to hide this issue from the public, anyway.”

Xi Chengyun ruffled Bai Qi’s hair before he turned and walked away.

Bai Qi let out a soft sigh.

He didn’t feel like an adult.

He figured that he’ll only be considered a grown man when he was as polite and dependable as Xi Chengyun.

Despite being knowledgeable in many areas, he still felt a little helpless when it came to the problems in his family.

Thankfully, it seemed like Xi Chengyun had quietly filled in the gap for him.

Bai Qi turned back towards the laptop that was in front of him.

He decided to praise Xi-ge a few more times in his fanfiction...

He’s not sure what happened during Xi Chengyu’s talk with Papa Bai, but on the second day, Papa Bai decided to let them go to pay the injured a visit.

“You should pay them a visit during the New Year’s,” Papa Bai said as he took out a stack of 100 Yuan bills and passed it to Xi Chengyun. “Use this to buy some gifts for the family, perhaps some milk and fruits.”

Xi Chengyun had his assistant bring another Audi that was less eye-catching. Then, he personally drove himself and Bai Qi to the hospital.

In the meantime, the netizens noticed something new on Weibo.

【Bai Qi posted something on Weibo!】

【I’m assuming he didn’t accidentally post it on the wrong account again】

【Nope, nope, he didn’t... OMG, why is he so cute HAHA. He’s such a surprising person. Why would anyone write fanfiction about themselves?】

【I feel shy at the thought that Bai Qi might’ve read quite a few fanfics about him and Xi-ge. Oh, God. I’m sorry for my robust and flavorful writing. I won’t do it again.】

The other netizens also commented:

【Bai Qi has such a good temper. Not only did he not get mad, he even reached out to interact with the fans】

Bai Qi’s brave move was a first in the entertainment industry.

Many fans came to read the fanfiction he’d written.

【Their relationship is too sweet, and I mean super-duper sweet. He’s been singing his praises about his husband throughout his fanfiction. Gosh, why can’t I have such a sweet boyfriend too!】

【HAHAHA Qi Qi is such an honest boy. Since you’ve already taken the initiative to write fanfics, why don’t you write yourself as the top in the relationship for once?】

【That’ll be the greatest lie in the universe】

【What is your favorite color for a gunny sack, our dear Qi Qi? Won’t you come here and choose one for yourself?】

...

And thus, the long-awaited war that the antis had been waiting for didn’t come to pass. Instead, Bai Qi gained a sizable number of new fans in the process.

Bai Qi yawned as he got out of the car.

Xi Chengyun turned back to look at him and asked, “Are you cold?”

Without waiting for an answer, Xi Chengyun grabbed him by his arm and placed him in front of himself. Xi Chengyun acted as a shield against the wind that was coming from behind.

It was just like that day when Bai Qi used him as a shield against the wind.

Xi Chengyun’s eyebrows furrowed as he asked, “Are you sure it’s here? Did your dad give us the wrong address?”

Bai Qi looked up and saw a signboard written ‘Lovely Nursing Home.’ ‘How can this be a hospital?’

“I’ve been here once... There’s no doubt that this used to be a hospital. This place used to be called ‘Cherish Hospital’, and the injured were checked in here because it was near to the construction site.”

Cherish Hospital used to be a high-end private hospital.

It wasn’t convenient to move the patients after they’d checked in, so they ended up staying for good.

“What is the name of your father's friend?”

“Something Peng… I can’t remember anymore.”

Xi Chengyun immediately gave Papa Bai a call. Soon, he came back to Bai Qi and said, “Let’s go and pay your dad’s friend a visit.”

Bai Qi nodded. He also felt like something was wrong.

He frowned as he followed Xi Chengyun into the car.

In the end, the oddest thing happened. When they reached the address that Papa Bai had provided, they weren’t able to find anyone.

Papa Bai was silent for a moment before he said, “Well, he is the president of a company, so, perhaps he has a few houses around the area…”

Xi Chengyun didn’t ask any further before he gave a call to someone else.

“Thank you, President Pei,” Xi Chengyun said to the person on the other end of the phone.

Bai Qi recalled meeting President Pei during the banquet he’d attended when he’d first agreed to marry Xi Chengyun. No wonder the name sounded so familiar.

“He’ll be heading over first and we’ll reach there later,” Xi Chengyun said.

“It’s New Year’s Day… Aren’t we troubling him …” Bai Qi said in a small voice.

“It’s fine, he’s happy to do so,” Xi Chengyun replied.

Bai Qi nodded.

Xi Chengyun couldn’t help but notice the furrow between his brows.

“Is there anything troubling you?” he asked.

“Nothing much. I’m just thinking about what we should get for President Pei as a thank you gift.”

“There’s no need to,” Xi Chengyun paused before he replied.

After that, he suddenly leaned over and helped Bai Qi to put on his seatbelt.

For a second, Bai Qi felt like he was teasing him.

In the meantime, President Pei, who’d just ended the call, shivered inexplicably.

‘Am I at the age where I should wear thermal wear? Why am I feeling cold in my vest?’
