Chapter 384: Confused Name
Chapter 384: Confused Name
Bai Chen was driving and listening to Xueer's confession. He felt his heart aching. He felt heartbroken that such a frail body had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting the family.
Xue'er was so grateful to Bai Chen that she could not express it in words. Bai Chen not only saved her time and time again, but also cared for her very well, so she decided to treat Bai Chen sincerely in the future.
After a day and a night of getting along, the two became familiar with each other, and Xueer's words and actions were no longer so restrained.
After they returned home, Bai Chen took Xue'er's small box and brought her to the room opposite his own. He said, "This will be your room from now on. If you need anything, just go buy it and I'll reimburse you."
"No need, I can prepare everything I need myself." Xue'er said quickly.
"Okay, then go back to your room and clean up! I have something else to do in the study."
"Okay, Doctor Bai, get busy!"
"Yeah." Bai Chen responded and took a few steps, then turned back and said, "Don't call me Doctor Bai at home in the future. I don't like it." After that, he continued to go to the study.
Bai Chen's words made Xue'er feel awkward. He didn't like to be called Doctor Bai, so what should she call him? Bai Chen, no, that's too disrespectful, not to mention that he's her employer. Brother Bai, no, that feels a bit ambiguous. Young Master Bai, that feels awkward, as he's the only one in the family. Mr. Bai, well, that's fine, let's call him that from now on!
Xueer figured it out and started packing her things. After she finished packing, she sat on the bed and checked her phone for a while. She looked at the time and saw that it was already past four o'clock. It was time to cook dinner, so she went into the kitchen and started cooking. Although there were not many things in the refrigerator, it was enough to cook for two people.
Xueer finished cooking and went to the study door and knocked twice.
"Come in." A low voice came from inside.
Xue'er pushed open the door but did not go in. She said directly, "Mr. Bai, dinner is ready. You can eat now."
Bai Chen frowned when he heard Xue'er's address. This girl spent a long time thinking about this address. It would be better to call him Doctor Bai. Calling him Mr. Bai made the distance between them feel farther and farther.
Xue'er stood at the door and saw that Bai Chen had no intention of coming out, so she asked again: "Mr. Bai, aren't you hungry? How about I keep it warm for you first and eat it when you are hungry! I won't disturb you while you are working."
"Wait." Bai Chen suddenly spoke. Xue'er thought he was hungry again and wanted to eat.
"Chen, Brother Bai, choose one." Bai Chen spoke again.
Xue'er didn't quite understand what Bai Chen meant, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
"Mr. Bai seems too unfamiliar, and I don't like it either. Either call me by my name or call me Big Brother. Choose one!" This time, Bai Chen did not let her think for herself, but directly asked her to answer a multiple-choice question.
Xue'er was really in a dilemma. She felt that neither name was good. She was just a servant and it would be a bit presumptuous of her employer to call her a brother. She had to choose a name amidst the dilemma!
"I've made my choice." Xue'er said after thinking it over.
"Call me and let me hear it." Bai Chen said. He didn't know what was wrong with him, he just wanted to hear his name from Xue'er's mouth urgently. He thought it must sound nice.
Xue'er was really embarrassed to speak, but she didn't dare to go against Bai Chen's wishes, so she took a deep breath and said shyly: "Bai, Chen, do you want to have dinner now?"
"Eat, we'll go right away." Bai Chen heard the satisfied address and answered casually. Then after the two of them had dinner, Xue'er cleaned up the restaurant and the kitchen.
But Bai Chen has been sitting in the living room watching TV. In fact, he knows that he is not paying attention to the TV at all. He steals a glance at Xue'er from time to time. Bai Chen is very sure that he likes her. He has been looking for a wife all these days. Finally, God lived up to his expectations and sent Xue'er. However, Xue'er is very timid and does her duty.
Bai Chen was worried that if he pushed too hard, he would drive the person away, so he lured the person into a trap first, then boiled the frog in warm water until the frog was cooked, and then tasted it slowly. Little did he know that the little frog was already well-known for being so easy to get along with.
Xue'er originally came to serve Dr. Bai with a heart of gratitude, but unexpectedly she fell into a trap and walked step by step towards the palace of happiness.
Xue'er cleaned up the kitchen, came to the living room and asked, "Bai Chen, is there anything else you need me to do?"
Bai Chen glanced at her, thought about it carefully and said, "There are some clothes in the bathroom of my room that I haven't washed yet."
"Oh! I'll go wash it right away." Xue'er said and was about to go to Bai Chen's room. Suddenly she thought of something and turned around and asked, "Can I come into your room?"
"can."
"Okay, I'll go wash now." Xue'er didn't stop this time and went straight to Bai Chen's room. Bai Chen was sitting on the sofa in the living room and grinning, "Little girl, let me let you touch my private space first."
Xue'er came to Bai Chen's room, and a scent of men's hormones hit her in the face. Bai Chen's room was very clean and tidy, the color of the bedding and curtains was generally dark, and the decoration style was also very manly.
Xueer felt that she had overthought it, so she shook her head and quickly walked into the bathroom. Bai Chen's clothes were placed on the side of the bathtub. Xueer picked them up carefully and looked through them. Fortunately, there was no underwear. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk out holding the clothes.
When Xue'er was about to step out of the bathroom door, she saw a dark blue ball in the trash can. Could it be that Bai Chen accidentally dropped it? She picked it up. The fabric was fine. It must have dropped in by mistake.
Xue'er unfolded the thing and her little face turned red instantly. It turned out to be Bai Chen's underwear. She threw it directly into the trash can as if it was a hot potato.
However, Xue'er thought that it would be a pity to throw away such a good fabric, so she picked it up again, mixed it with other clothes and took it out for washing. Although she did a lot of odd jobs, it was the first time for her to wash underwear for a grown man. It was inevitable that her face was burning while washing, and she kept hypnotizing herself that she was washing for her savior, not for others, so it was her duty...
After she finished her work, Bai Chen thought that it was time for her to rest, so he said, "I don't have anything to do here, you go back to your room and rest."
"Well, you should rest early too!"
"Well, good night!" Bai Chen's casual words touched Xue'er again. Bai Chen was the first person to say good night to her in so many years. Bai Chen gained another point in her heart.
After her father ran away, she and her mother depended on each other for survival. Unexpectedly, the creditor came to their door. Fortunately, the mother and daughter dressed up ugly in advance and escaped. However, the other party demanded a higher interest rate to repay the debt, so Xueer, who was sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, went out to earn money. In order to protect herself, she dressed very ugly every time before going out. In the past nearly four years, no one has really cared about her or protected her, and now the man in front of her has given her everything.
Xue'er knew that she had been addicted to Bai Chen's kindness to her, but she also understood that their statuses were too different, and she would be satisfied to see him every day...
