A Contractual Marriage with the Best Leading Actor Chapter 122

Reality TV about In-Laws (2)

Bai Qi burped as Xi Chengyun walked over to him.

Xi Chengyun held him by the arm and gently lifted him from his seat. He smiled and asked, “Full?”

Once in a blue moon, Bai Qi actually blushed and said in a small voice, “... Almost.”

The two walked side-by-side with the camera still rolling. Xi Chengyun then said in a hushed voice, “Then, shall we get some crayfish for you to fill your stomach?”

Bai Qi’s eyes glistened with excitement. “Absolutely!”

The two held hands and walked away.

The staff knew that they could do nothing about them leaving and respectfully sent them off. “It’ll be better for them to leave now, rather than staying and risk being bombarded by reporters.”

Xi Chengyun thanked them, opened the car door and ushered Bai Qi to enter.

It was around 11 at the moment.

Bai Qi gave a call to Su Meixian. “Is dad home yet?”

He heard the sound of keys being placed on a table from the other end.

“He just arrived home.”

“Then, I’ll be bringing supper home!” Bai Qi offered.

“Great!” and his mom hurriedly hung up the phone.

Tomorrow will be Chinese New Year’s eve, so there weren’t many people on the streets. Shang Guang drove to three places before he found a place that was still open.

There weren’t many people around, so they didn’t need to book a special room for themselves before they entered the shop. They sat at a small table beside the road and enjoyed their midnight snacks.

After they were done, Bai Qi packed oysters, scallops and crayfish back home for his parents. This caused Xi Chengyun’s luxury car to smell entirely like garlic.

By then, people had already cropped out snippets of their appearance at the gala.

【Xi-laoshi immediately went to find Bai Qi and led him away as soon as he finished work】

【I can’t believe they left early!】

【F*ck me, no wonder I thought I saw them at a diner just now! I thought I needed a new pair of glasses!】

【So Xi-laoshi was actually asking Bai Qi what he wanted to eat when he lowered his head to talk to him? This is so domestic, they’re such a sweet couple】

【Everyone’s attention was on the dancing and singing on stage. Xi-laoshi was the only one who was looking out for his partner to know whether he was hungry… Bless me, my ship has sailed】

Shang Guang’s phone rang just as he reached Bai Qi’s flat.

“Xi-ge, why don’t the both of you go ahead first? I need to take this call.”

Bai Qi nodded and helped Xi Chengyun carry the food off the car.

“Shang-ge, apologies for disturbing you at night. Since Xi-ge is willing to participate in couple’s reality TV, could you help me ask if he’s interested in a reality TV show regarding in-laws?”

Shang Guang was rendered speechless.

“How dare you? Who gave you the guts to ask such a question!” Shang Guang yelled before hanging up the call.

On the other hand, Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun had just reached the sixth floor. A middle aged man in a POLO shirt opened the door for them. He had a rolling pin in hand.

“I assume you’re Little Xi?” the man asked.

Xi Chengyun finally realized that this was Bai Qi’s dad.

Xi Chengyun clenched his fingers and gave a smile. “Good day to you, I am Xi Chengyun. This is our first time meeting each other…”

Papa Bai raised his hand, and was about to scare him with a sarcastic laugh.

Before he could do so, Bai Qi found his way between them. “We’ve got crayfish, do you want some? If not, I’ll feed them to the dogs.”

Papa Bai swallowed his laugh back down his throat. “... How could you feed them to the dogs? Of course we’ll eat them. Leave some for me! Don’t throw them out.”

“Then, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and go in. We don’t want you catching a cold. These bags are so heavy, my hands are sore from carrying them.”

Papa Bai hurriedly bent down and reached for the bags. “Let me hold them for you!”

He surpressed his intentions to intimidate Xi Chengyun.

Xi Chengyun remained silent for two seconds before breaking into a genuine smile.

Bai Qi was worried that his dad wouldn’t show the man mercy.

‘Come on, I’m the one who is benefiting here!’

After some thought, he reached for Xi Chengyun’s hand, interlinked their fingers, and brought him into the house. He wasn’t taking any chances with his dad.

“Enjoy the food dad. We’re full, so we’ll go rest now,” Bai Qi said before closing the door behind himself.

Papa Bai mumbled something in frustration but Xi Chengyun didn’t take it to heart.

Things were going way better than he’d imagined.

It was even… a little interesting to meet Bai Qi’s parents.

It had been a tiring day.

Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun promptly washed up and went to bed.

The next morning, they were woken up by the sound of knives on the chopping board.

Bai Qi drowsily opened his eyes. “Are they mincing the meat to make dumplings?” To make the sound go away, he flipped over and buried his head into Xi Chengyun’s arms.

Xi Chengyun was immediately woken up.

He covered Bai Qi’s ears with his hands and unconciously stared at him for a while.

Bai Qi slept another 30 minutes before getting up.

Bai Qi sat up and told Xi Chengyun in a small voice, “I had a dream.”

“What dream?” Xi Chengyun asked.

“I dreamt that someone was holding me by the head,”

Xi Chengyun didn’t know what to say.

Bai Qi immediately hopped off bed, threw on a jacket and opened the door.

Xi Chengyun followed behind him. When he exited Bai Qi’s room, he saw Su Meixian mincing meat while Papa Bai was holding a rolling pin at the side.

Bai Qi walked towards them and Xi Chengyun heard him question them angrily, “What were you doing yesterday with a rolling pin at the door?”

Papa Bai couldn’t hide his actual feelings as he said, “I was worried that he would be hungry, so I thought that I could make him some mung bean sheets?”

Xi Chengyun’s eyes twinkled in delight.

Bai Qi, who stepped forward to protect him, was truly a sweet person.
