A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor

n the end…

A string of different thoughts appeared in Bai Qi’s mind.

At last, he held himself back and didn’t mention any of that to Papa Bai.
“Okay, I’ll be hanging up now.”

After the call, Papa Bai held his phone and muttered, “My son is like a young and handsome womanizer…”

His wife had just given him 50 million and said that it was from his son.

‘How could Bai Qi have so much money? Surely it was that celebrity who gave it to him.’

Papa Bai wouldn't be dramatic, and it was useless for him to be dramatic.
He needed this sum of money anyway.

He kept his phone away, looked up, and happened to come face to face with President Peng.

President Peng smiled at him.
“I was about to go and find you.
Old Wang told me that you’ve transferred the money over to the other party this month.
Why did you send it over yourself?”

Papa Bai smiled and said, “I just happened to have some time, and I …  the incident happened years ago and I figured that there’s no harm in me trying.
What if the other party doesn’t hate me anymore? Then, I wouldn’t have to trouble you with all this.”

50 million is quite a sum, and it was from his son.
He was worried that he’d do something wrong, and when he was transferring, he hated the fact that he couldn’t cross-check each amount in the lumpsum.

President Peng said, “If that’s so…
Fine, go ahead and do what you have to do.
I’m just asking.
Oh, and it’s almost the end of the year, when I’m free, I’ll help you find out the progress of the situation…”

“Thank you, and sorry for the trouble.”

“No worries, there’s no need for pleasantries between us.”

Papa Bai smiled again.
He adjusted the safety helmet, turned around, and left.

President Peng stood where he was and mumbled, “50 million…
where does all that money come from?”

On the other hand, by the time Bai Qi got off the phone, Shang Guang had already asked the attendant to pack the clothes up for them and he was now carrying many bags with both hands.

“We are buying so much?” Bai Qi asked Xi Chengyun with a shocked expression.

Xi Chengyun nodded.
“There’ll be other instances where you’d have to accompany me in the future.
I can’t let you attend them all wearing the same outfit, can I?”

Bai Qi nodded.

‘True.’

At first, Shang Guang was worried that Bai Qi wouldn’t accept the clothes.

Then, Xi-ge would ask why he wouldn’t accept them, and Bai Qi would likely say that it’s because he’s unhappy.
Then, Xi-ge will ask why Bai Qi is unhappy.
Then, Bai Qi will say it’s because Shang Guang blabbered too much.

Shang Guang was stunned by the chain of events he himself had imagined.
