The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite-Chapter 538 - 294
Chapter 538: Chapter 294
Bai Qin chuckled and nodded: "You’re certainly candid, whether it was when you made that outrageously audacious request or now. You’ve got personality, and I really like that about you."
"..." Qin Yulong slightly frowned, her personality was her own business, and it didn’t need anyone’s liking.
Bai Qin didn’t dwell on this point: "Let’s sit over there and talk, and you can try my new tea."
Leading the way, Bai Qin brought Wenyan and the other two to her tea room area.
"It smells so good," Su Yang exclaimed upon entering the tea room, "What fine tea have you managed to get your hands on this time?"
Bai Qin laughed lightly: "Try it, if you like it, you can take some home later."
"Sure."
"Let your two daughters sit by themselves, no need to be so formal."
"Yes," Su Yang looked at Wenyan and Qin Yulong, "You don’t have to be so tense; your Aunt Bai is actually very easy to get along with."
Wenyan smiled, and she and Qin Yulong both chose to remain silent.
Because they felt that according to the current rhythm, the two of them probably wouldn’t get to the main topic for quite a while.
As expected, they had already started to chat about domestic matters.
As Bai Qin was heating the teapot, she asked Su Yang, "Why is Jingcheng so busy? He didn’t even come home for the New Year. Didn’t he say when he’ll be back?"
"He can’t come back; things were almost settled over there, but then a big problem cropped up. You know his job can’t be delayed; it’s too affected by the weather and the environment. The sooner it’s dealt with, the better."
"How long has it been since he’s been back? Can’t they manage without him there?" fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
"Not at all, he’s an irreplaceable key player. Did he send you a message to wish you a happy New Year?"
"Yes, he made a video call, he’s lost weight again. Next time he comes back, you as his mom have to nourish him properly."
"Like you need to tell me that. Tsk, I’m out of tea leaves, I’ll go get some."
"Go ahead. Did you change your tea set? It feels different from what I saw last time."
"Yes, I accidentally broke a cup from the last set; I don’t like using it when it’s not complete."
As she spoke, Bai Qin went to get more tea leaves.
Su Yang turned her attention to the two daughters.
She said to Qin Yulong, "You probably don’t know yet, but your third brother Jingcheng is your Aunt Bai’s godson, which is why she’s so concerned about him. Speaking of which, you haven’t met your third brother yet."
Wenyan silently nodded in her heart. No wonder the relationship was so special; the two families were even god relatives.
But then again, she hadn’t met Shen Jingcheng either and didn’t know when she might catch a glimpse of his true face.
Just then, Bai Qin came back with the tea leaves.
She seemed quite interested in Qin Yulong and took the initiative to speak with her.
"Are you even angrier now that you know I am your brother’s godmother?"
Qin Yulong felt somewhat mystified: "Aunt Bai, I’m not. Besides, I think you don’t need to bring this up over and over again."
As a junior addressing an elder, Qin Yulong’s tone wasn’t exactly pleasant.
However, Bai Qin didn’t seem to mind in the slightest, just as Su Yang had said earlier; Bai Qin truly had a peculiar temperament. She wasn’t the slightest bit angry with Qin Yulong; on the contrary, she even started thinking about taking Qin Yulong as her goddaughter.
"I really do like your personality. How about you take me as your godmother? After all, your third brother is already my godson."
Qin Yulong frowned directly at Bai Qin: "I refuse."
And this response seemed to be within Bai Qin’s expectations; she remained unbothered even after being rejected coldly to her face.
"You really are full of personality, but it’s okay that you refused me today. There’s plenty of time in the future, and I’m close with your mom, right, Old Su?"
Su Yang gave Bai Qin a glare: "Aren’t you rushing things a bit? It’s their first meeting; Yulong doesn’t understand you at all."
Bai Qin shrugged nonchalantly: "But you understand me, isn’t that enough?"
Su Yang was speechless: "Just go over there; you’re scaring my precious daughter."
Bai Qin laughed: "Does my goddaughter look scared to you? She doesn’t seem like the timid, easily frightened type."
Su Yang couldn’t help but glare at Bai Qin again: "What goddaughter? You’ve started calling her that already, has she agreed? Just prepare your tea; we have serious matters to discuss in a bit."
"No hurry, I have all the time in the world today."
"You may have all the time today, but our time is also valuable."
"What’s this, Old Su? Is that your attitude when you come to ask me for a favor?"
