Chapter 153 What do you want to do?
"Bai Yi, what on earth do you want to do?"
Ning Yuechen looked at the person who was looking down at her and reminded her in a low voice, "Aunt Shi is next door, don't mess around."
"With the soundproofing here, she wouldn't be able to hear you even if you yell, let alone from such a long distance."
"Get out, I don't want to see you."
Bai Yi's eyes darkened, and it was impossible to tell what he was feeling. He suddenly asked, "If I never appear in front of you again, will you be very happy?"
"We shouldn't have any contact anymore."
"So you can't understand why I like you, right?"
Ning Yuechen felt that Bai Yi was very strange tonight, but she didn't want to anger him, so she could only choose to answer in the most gentle way: "Bai Yi, put yourself in my shoes. If I were the one who developed this kind of feelings between us first, how would you feel? I'm afraid you would even want to kill me, right?"
Although this person's first thought after discovering that he liked him was to kill him as soon as possible, Ning Yuechen silently complained in his heart.
Bai Yi didn't say anything, seeming to be thinking about this question.
Seeing this, Ning Yuechen simply said directly: "You can hate me, resent me, hate me, but you can't like me. Between us is my mother's death, Aunt Shi's years of pain, and your Bai family. So I will not accept your love. If you want to force me to do something, I would rather die than let you do it."
Bai Yi took a step back and asked, "So all these years, you have hated me and the Bai family in your heart?"
"I said, you are Aunt Shi's child. As long as you don't hurt her, I won't hate you."
The only person she hated from beginning to end was Bai Jingyuan.
Bai Yi looked at her calmly, his eyes dark. "But who can make up for the damage Shi Yu has done to me? Just because she is her mother, I am her daughter, and you are her beloved child, should I feel sorry for myself, be tolerant and give in, and be a kind and generous person?"
Ning Yuechen was slightly startled, and a moving guilt flashed in his eyes.
There was indeed an inextricable emotional entanglement between her and Bai Yi. As the other party said, although she was not Shi Yu's child, she had enjoyed the maternal love that should have belonged to Bai Yi for so many years. And the fact that this person was sent abroad at such a young age was indeed because of her existence, which was undeniable.
Bai Yi accurately captured her reaction. He changed his mind and walked forward again, forcing her to look at him.
When he spoke again, there was a hint of sadness in his tone: "Ning Yuechen, if I hadn't pretended to be cold and cruel, and hadn't worked so hard to get to this day, do you think there would be a place for me in the Bai family? I'm afraid that the fake daughter rumored by the outside world has already become the real eldest daughter of the Bai family."
"Back then, I didn't want to leave home at all. But what could I do? Although I am the eldest daughter of the Bai family, my parents have hated me since I was a child. Although my biological father said he loved me, he would send me abroad because of a word from his lover. To put it nicely, I was studying abroad, but if I didn't fight for myself, or if my strength was a little weaker, there would be no place for me in the Bai family today!"
Ning Yuechen was already feeling a little uneasy, and after hearing her say that, he fell even deeper into deep thought.
Then I heard the slightly bitter voice of the other party: "From your perspective, you will not compete with me, and you are kind to me. Aunt Shi who loves you is also a good person and my biological mother. But that's just because you are too naive and kind. If I were a little more mediocre, Shi Yu would be able to let you enjoy a lifetime of wealth and glory in the Bai family."
"Because in her heart, I am just the daughter of the person she hates the most, and you are her real child. How can she tolerate the existence of me who will affect your future?"
"Bai Yi..." Ning Yuechen was speechless for a moment, because she found that what the other party said was indeed true.
From her own point of view, she did not have any other thoughts. Moreover, although she was taken care of by the Bai family for so many years, she almost always lived in a small western-style building outside. Only when Shi Yu was too busy to spare, she would return to the villa and stay for a few days.
So although she remembered the kindness of the Bai family in her heart, she was also clear that the root of all this was because of Bai Jingyuan, so the only person she was truly grateful to was Aunt Shi.
As for the rumors spread by the outside world that she possessed Bai Yi's identity, was spoiled in the Bai family, and was domineering, she had never really cared about them.
Because this is not true at all, and I have never had such thoughts.
But she missed one point. Just because she didn't think so didn't mean that Bai Yi, who was far away abroad at the time, wouldn't think of her that way.
Looking at this issue from Bai Yi's perspective, if she had not returned from abroad with achievements, would she still be enjoying the wonderful life brought to her by Aunt Shi and the Bai family today?
Therefore, the rumors about the fake daughter did not come out of thin air.
Thinking of this, Ning Yuechen didn't know how to respond, and even felt that he and Aunt Shi actually owed Bai Yi.
Bai Yi saw all of her reactions, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said something that struck her deepest in the heart: "Ning Yuechen, if you were me, would you tolerate someone who came down from the sky and took away everything that belonged to you?"
Ning Yuechen suddenly looked up, and when their eyes met, she clearly saw the sad fragility in Bai Yi's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
How could someone with such a soft and helpless look belong to Bai Yi?
She felt an inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart, and suddenly felt that she was the hypocritical and vicious second female character in the novel, and Bai Yi was the heroine who had suffered all kinds of grievances.
Just as I was panicking, there was a knock on the door: "Yu Chen, are you asleep? Aunt Shi is coming in."
Ning Yuechen's face suddenly changed, especially when he saw the door handle was about to be opened, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.
The next moment, the bedroom door behind her suddenly opened. Before she could react, there was a slight sound of the door closing, and then someone pressed against the door.
Bai Yi lowered his head close to her earlobe and comforted her softly: "It's okay, she won't find me."
What seemed like advice was actually full of threats.
Ning Yuechen bit his lips tightly and looked at her angrily. But he knew in his heart that keeping silent was the best choice at this time, because Aunt Shi would not enter his bedroom casually.
As the knocks on the door continued, there was silence in the dark room.
But the more tense the atmosphere was, the more clearly she could feel the other person's warm breath, and she couldn't help but want to distance themselves from each other.
But her strength was just a tickle in Bai Yi's eyes, and the other party grabbed her arms when she resisted with just a slight movement.
Ning Yuechen's face turned red with anger, but he was afraid that this pervert would really cause some trouble, so he just let her go.
This lasted for more than ten seconds, and then the knocking stopped. Only when the door closed in the living room did Ning Yuechen finally breathe a sigh of relief.
