"Physically weak."
Lou Yuming answered readily, and Song Xi believed him.
She had indeed been feeling weak lately, but how could he be so kind, and what was the purpose of all this effort?
Song Xi couldn't figure him out. She felt that the current Lou Yuming was like a blank sheet of paper, attracting her while also making her feel lost.
"By the way, the results from that paternity test came out, why didn't you tell me?" Song Xi remembered her conversation with Dai Ze yesterday.
Lou Yuming's expression was indifferent: "What's there to say?"
He was always like this, never telling her the outcome after resolving something.
Even with Liu Sisi and her boyfriend Zhou Qiao before, she only found out by chance that Zhou Qiao ended up in prison for kidnapping and fraud. Although she was involved in that incident, she later felt like an outsider, without even the right to know.
This made Song Xi doubt herself.
She always felt that she and Lou Yuming were two different kinds of people, and no matter how hard she tried to get closer, she couldn't be in the same world as him.
Thinking of these things, Song Xi became a little sad.
She picked up her phone and went online to distract herself.
Ever since Bai Xi Culture's generous move of giving away tickets last time, they had received widespread praise online, with many people discussing wanting to apply for jobs after graduation.
But Song Xi didn't know that all of this was Lou Yuming's doing.
This was considered his "sincerity" to Bai Xi Culture. Unexpectedly, Ge Baitao didn't appreciate it. She had the same temperament as Song Xi, and the little girl was very difficult to handle. She cried and made a scene in front of Old Ge, and even went on a hunger strike.
Old Ge didn't expect Ge Baitao to value this company so much. So, he took this opportunity to threaten Ge Baitao to go on blind dates, making her choose between the company and a partner. Unexpectedly, she decisively chose the company.
This even surprised Lou Yuming a little.
Since Old Ge had spoken, Lou Yuming naturally didn't dare to force her anymore. After all, there was always time, and what he wanted, he always obtained.
His deep dark eyes gazed at Song Xi.
Including her.
...
Meanwhile, at a high-end coffee shop.
A woman's back was slender and graceful, and her long wavy hair was sexy with a hint of wildness.
A man walked forward confidently.
"Hello, Miss Ge, I am—"
Before he could finish, the man saw the woman's green eyeshadow, purple lips, and two silver hoops on her earlobes that were bigger than her hands. He was immediately startled.
Ge Baitao waved her hand and flirtatiously winked at him: "Hello, baby!"
The man broke out in a cold sweat: "You, you, you..."
"You're not mistaken, I am Ge Baitao." She stroked her freshly done black fingernails and said in a light, arrogant tone: "Sit down."
"My surname is Zhou, and my name is Zhou..."
"I know," Ge Baitao interrupted him. She extended her legs under the table, inching them up along the man's trouser leg, her voice like a kitten's: "Young Master Zhou~"
Young Master Zhou instantly got goosebumps and quickly retracted his legs, placing them together.
Good heavens, what was Old Ge's granddaughter like this! He had even canceled his date with Miss Lu, what a loss! He wondered if it was too late to call Miss Lu now!
"What do you want to eat?" Ge Baitao asked proactively.
Young Master Zhou had no appetite. He just wanted to finish quickly. Sitting in front of such a non-mainstream eccentric was a double insult, both mentally and visually!
Just as Young Master Zhou was about to refuse, Ge Baitao preempted him: "Forget it, I'll order."
She was ugly enough, and she had no manners! She was truly an embarrassment to Old Ge!
For Old Ge's sake, Young Master Zhou endured his disgust and said, "Order whatever Miss Ge likes, I'll treat."
"Wow, Brother Zhou is so generous!" She pinched her voice, looking adorably impressed.
If it were an ordinary woman, Young Master Zhou would have been overjoyed. But with this woman, he felt no joy, only shame, especially with people constantly staring. Young Master Zhou wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.
Ge Baitao silently watched his every move, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"This, this, this, and this whole row, I want them all!"
Young Master Zhou repeatedly tried to stop her: "Can you finish it all? I, I didn't mean it like that... I'm just afraid you'll waste it, and wasting is bad."
Ge Baitao showered him with more flattery, then said: "Don't worry, I can drink ten more cups, I'm a big eater!"
Young Master Zhou forced a smile, but his hypocritical mask seemed to be cracking bit by bit.
Spending money so lavishly, such a woman would be a spendthrift if married!
Their Zhou family was rich, but they couldn't afford her squandering, unless their Ge family transferred their assets to the Zhou family.
Ge Baitao suddenly sneezed. After sneezing, she wiped her nose with a tissue and casually threw it on the table.
Seeing this, Young Master Zhou frowned in disgust and lost his patience, saying directly: "Miss Ge, I don't think we're suitable."
