Chapter 134 A Feeling

On Sunday morning, Bai Chen was woken up early by his mother. It was even before sunrise.

He got up drowsily to look at Bai Yu with confusion in his eyes. He did not understand why she had woken him up at such an early hour.

“Little Chen, your father and I are going to visit Auntie Chu in Xing Yang. Do you want to come along?”

Bai Chen then remembered that before he had traveled back in time, this was a regular occurrence. His parents were going to visit his Aunt Chu, his mother’s sister, in Xing Yang district.

It was dozens of kilometers away from Xing Seng business district but was still within Xing Zhou City.

Bai Chen rubbed his eyes while shaking his head as an answer. “No, mum. I’ll look after the house.”

“All right, then. We will leave now and be back tomorrow morning.”

Bai Yu did not complain about him not wanting to come along. She said a few more words, then left.

‘If I did not have an appointment with Li Lin, I would have gone with them, just like before.’

Bai Chen said this to himself whilst thinking about the times before he was imprisoned and traveled back in time.

Many minutes passed before he got up to take a shower.

...................................

Five p.m. arrived in the blink of an eye. Bai Chen put on the suit Long Xu In had bought for him. In his hand was a gift basket he had bought from Xing Yuan Department Store. He had stopped by there before coming here.

Of course, ‘here’ was... a road close to Li Lin’s villa. Bai Chen stood beside an electricity pole. He felt slightly hesitant.

He did not know how to behave if he met Li Lin’s parents. They were going to become his in-laws in the future.

This was even though he had met them before when he used his thousand-face skill to change into Xi Dong to cause trouble.

But at that time, he had gone as Xi Dong. It was vastly different from now when he was going as himself.

‘It’s all right. I’m not even dating her yet. I will just act normal,’ Bai Chen decided at that moment.

At the same time, he was heading straight to the entrance of the villa which was Li Lin’s home.

Today was very different from when he last came. At the entrance of the villa were several guards checking everyone’s invitation cards.

There were many cars parked outside the villa. It was clear that there were not enough parking spots inside the villa.

But that was no surprise. An anniversary party of Li Cong Tian, the wealthiest man in Xing Zhou—how could there not be a crowd?

Bai Chen walked up to the entrance where multiple guards were stationed.

“Your invitation please, sir. I cannot let you in without one,” a guard stopped Bai Chen and said with a stern voice.

Bai Chen paused and scratched his head.

An invitation? How could he have one?

Li Lin had not given him any, but Bai Chen did not care much. He stepped to the side of the villa and called her immediately on his phone.

Some of the guards looked at him without much care. Their job was to inspect those who went into the villa strictly. Those without an invitation, which came in the form of a card, could not even dream of passing through.

Bai Chen did not have to wait long for Li Lin to pick up.

“Bai Chen, where are you?” she asked as soon as she picked up.

“In front of the villa. I cannot enter though,” Bai Chen said, relaxed. He knew she would come out to fetch him.

“Just wait there. I’ll send someone to get you.”

“...” Bai Chen went quiet because his expectation was inaccurate. She was not going to come get him herself but would send someone instead.

It seemed like he was, in her mind, not somebody important.

Bai Chen was deeply saddened by this. He could not help but wonder if he was the only person who thought of her as more than a friend.

? If he was important to Li Lin, she would have come out herself.

‘Even Long Xu In came to pick me up herself every time.’ Bai Chen could not help but think of Long Xu In.

One of the reasons he thought Li Lin did not think anything of him was because of Long Xu In. This was because she would come to pick him up every time and never let anyone come to pick him up.

“Bai Chen?” Li Lin said curiously as he had suddenly gone quiet.

“Never mind. I’m leaving,” Bai Chen said in a gloomy manner.

It seemed like his plan of asking her out, then marrying her might have to be shelved.

When he came to think of it, she had only let him kiss her because she had lost bets. Not because she felt anything for him.

A bitter smile appeared on Bai Chen’s face, but thankfully, it was gone quickly.

“Why would you leave?” Li Lin asked impatiently.

“I’m feeling a little unwell,” Bai Chen said. “Goodbye now.”

“Wait!” When she heard Bai Chen was hanging up and leaving, she shouted out loud. The people around her turned to look at her all at once.

Li Lin was in front of the entrance to the hall where the party was taking place. She had come to help her parents welcome the guests.

This was why she was going to send someone else to get Bai Chen instead of going herself. It was clear she didn’t want to excuse herself.

“What’s wrong, Little Lin?” Li Yu asked her daughter with confusion on her face.

“You wait there. I’m coming to see you.” Li Lin did not reply to her mother. She spoke to Bai Chen through the phone before turning to say to her parents who were standing beside her, “I’ll be right back.”

When she finished speaking, she started running instantly, in the midst of the confused gazes of Li Cong Tian, Li Yu, and other people who were at the entrance.

Bai Chen put his phone away after hanging up. He decided to wait there as Li Lin had told him to.

He did not feel any better though, because he already thought Li Lin did not feel anything for him.

“Bai Chen.” He not waited even five minutes before a cute tiny voice cried out from afar, accompanied by a tiny body with a cute doll-like face.

She was wearing a pretty light-yellow dress which made her look even cuter and more charming than usual.

Her short hair swung back and forth while running.

“Young miss!”

Many guards quickly saluted her. At the same time, they were quite shocked when she came out to see the young man whom they had been demanding to see an invitation from earlier.

They did not expect this average looking young man would cause their young miss, who was like a priceless treasure to their master and mistress, to come all the way out here to personally receive him.

Li Lin did not pay any attention to the guards. She stopped in front of Bai Chen, panting. It was clear that she had sprinted there, so she was tired.

Bai Chen looked at her, his heart trembling. She looked especially lovely today—much more than any of the other times they had met. End of Chapter 134
