Beauty and the Beasts

A large part of the press conference went by with Parker fervently discussing how beautiful, smart, and intelligent his partner was, in addition to other mushy praises.

This led to the reporters getting sick and tired of listening to him. The agitation they felt from getting a scoop at the start turned to extreme boredom. They started to bring up other topics.

“What do you usually like to eat?” a reporter asked casually.

At the side, Xu Qiyang had given up. He looked in front with an emotionless gaze, not caring about him anymore.

Parker immediately straightened his face and said solemnly, “I won’t answer any private questions.”

All the reporters: Then what were you spending all the time talking about just now?

Xu Qiyang: So you still remember that I told you this?

After the press conference ended, Xu Qiyang accepted fate and was also feeling curious about Parker’s partner.

“You have a girlfriend? Why haven’t I seen you contacting her before?” Xu Qiyang asked curiously. Instead, he often saw Parker mentioning the name of the red-haired model’s girlfriend.

Parker tidied his short hair that was styled with mousse, saying, “It’s Qingqing. You met her before.”

Xu Qiyang paused. He then thought about it for a while and was certain that when they had coffee together the other day, Bai Qingqing was a pair with the red-haired man.

“If I hadn’t seen wrong, she seems to be Ke Di’s girlfriend?”

Parker said with certainty, “You saw wrong.”

He even nodded as he said this.

Xu Qiyang was speechless.

“I’ll trust you this one time,” Xu Qiyang said. “Alright, hurry up and go study the script. I’ll have to call for an emergency meeting with the team in charge of your image management.”

Thankfully, Parker didn’t say that he was married. Otherwise, things would be over. However, it wasn’t too bad now. A devoted prince charming was also a target that young audiences liked.

…

Ever since Bai Xiaofan knew that Parker was his future brother-in-law, he paid even more attention to him. He had also watched that awkward press conference that put people at a loss.

After seeing the point where Parker confessed, Bai Xiaofan immediately handed the phone to his sister, saying, “He really likes you a lot.”

Bai Qingqing also laughed after watching it, saying, “That’s enough. He’s just joking. Don’t believe him. I’m going to school.”

Bai Xiaofan let out a ‘tsk’. She was still reluctant to admit it.

Bai Qingqing paid him no heed and left the house with her bag.

Curtis was already waiting in a spot in the district without anyone around. When he saw her, he called her and let her get in the car.

Ever since Bai Qingqing was kidnapped, she often got motion sickness. The moment she got in the car, she became weak. She lay on the chair and held onto her stomach, feeling horrible.

“Why did you drive again? Didn’t I tell you not to? This car stands out too much in our small district,” Bai Qingqing said weakly.

Curtis touched her forehead and then said, “It’s more stable. The public bus will sway very strongly and you’ll feel worse.”

Bai Qingqing smiled, raising her hand to grab his cool hand on her forehead, saying, “Thank you.”

“Are you sick? Do you want to rest for a few days?” Curtis asked worriedly. “The medicine studies over here are very advanced. Why don’t we get you checked out at the hospital?”

Bai Qingqing shook her head. “It’s just that my chest and stomach feel a little stuffy. It could be that my period is coming soon. I’ve already fallen behind in my studies. I have to work hard.”

“I told you that I’d teach you,” Curtis said. “I’m already reading the textbooks for third-year middle school students. I’ll catch up to you very soon.”

“You’re practically a scanner!” Bai Qingqing smiled and said, finding this unbelievable.
