Chapter 1106: Chapter 1111: Continuing on One Side, One Side 17

Bai Qianqian, “…”

What is he trying to say with those words? Like giving her a ride is not important at all!

His principles of life, his promises to friends.

So, giving her a lift is a trivial matter for him.

All Bai Qianqian felt was a surge of frustration welled up in her chest, with nowhere to vent.

The car merged into the city traffic. Initially, there weren’t many vehicles and they could move at a decent speed, occasionally stopping for red lights.

As they delved deeper into the city, the traffic slowed them down, the car moved in fits and starts.

At times, they had to wait for more than ten minutes at a single traffic light. Bai Qianqian was restless in the passenger seat, wishing she could fly home.

Being stuck in a confined space with him was making her uncomfortable.

The traffic jam was exasperating Bai Qianqian, her mood was becoming increasingly irritable. She wanted to get out of the car, but Bai Jingqing kept driving in the inner lane, which discouraged her from doing so.

“Can you pull over? I’ll get off immediately!” Bai Qianqian said.

“I can’t park here, there’s a fine if we get caught.” Bai Jingqing replied nonchalantly, resting his hand on the window.

Bai Qianqian, “…”

As if he would care about a small fine!

“I’ll pay the fine! Just stop the car.” Bai Qianqian took out a hundred yuan from her bag and slapped it on the dashboard.

“This isn’t about money, it’s about my principles!” was Bai Jingqing’s succinct reply.

“…”

Bai Qianqian had half a mind to slap the money in his face.

“Why should I abandon my principles for you?” mutters Bai Jingqing lightly.

His question was soft, but in Bai Qianqian’s ears, it carried a different meaning.

He meant that she wasn’t worth him breaking his principles for.

Bai Qianqian laughed coldly to herself, how naive had she been to believe he would take responsibility for their child!

The road ahead led to the Bai family’s house, but Bai Jingqing veered onto a different road.

It seemed like he was headed for the hospital. Bai Qianqian decided not to speak another word to him. He could go to the hospital, and she could get a cab home from there.

The car pulled into the hospital and went down into the parking garage. Bai Qianqian immediately opened the door and got out of the car, had even paid the parking fee as if it were the taxi fare.

Bai Qianqian turned to leave. Watching her slender form from behind, Bai Jingqing heaved a helpless sigh, closed the car door, hit the lock button, and the car doors were locked.

As Bai Qianqian was walking away, Bai Jingqing grabbed her arm, causing her to struggle. “What are you doing!” she exclaimed.

“We need to get you checked out. This is the consequence of my mistake. I need to take responsibility for your health.” Bai Jingqing said flatly.

“Bai Jingqing, are you sick or something! I think the person who needs a check-up is you, if you’re sick, take some medicine, stop acting out in front of me!”

Bai Qianqian was at the end of her patience and finally exploded. The underground car park was desolate, making her already loud voice echo even louder.

Bai Jingqing looked at the girl, her face flushed with anger. He only watched her, neither speaking nor arguing back. When Bai Qianqian tried to leave, he held her back; when she got angry, he let go.

In the end, Bai Qianqian, in her anger, ended up scratching and biting him, even drawing blood from his arm through the fabric.

Seeing the girl in emotional turmoil, Bai Jingqing gently pulled her into his embrace.

Eventually, Bai Qianqian was dragged by Bai Jingqing into the elevator.

If he didn’t want to let her go, she couldn’t leave.

“Bai Jingqing, are you happy now, I can’t handle you and your brother anymore! I’m just an ordinary girl, I just want to live my life in peace. I’m begging you, please stop appearing in my life!”
