Chapter 1283: Feed Me
Li Xiyang’s expression didn’t change. “Even if we didn’t go out on a date last night, Beibei is my girlfriend. Is it wrong for me to say as such?”
“Heh,” Gong Yi laughed coldly. “If she’s your girlfriend, then what am I?”
“Young Master Gong, what do you mean?”
Gong Yi looked at Li Xiyang and said in a proud and confident voice, “Beibei is my girlfriend.”
“Has Beibei admitted it?”
Gong Yi...
“Then... Has Beibei admitted that she’s your girlfriend?”
Li Xiyang curled his lips in triumph. “Beibei is my girlfriend. There’s no doubt about it. Look! I’ve even set my phone’s screensaver as a photo of us together.”
He showed Gong Yi his screensaver.
Gong Yi’s face fell. On the screen was a photo of Li Xiyang kissing Bai Beibei’s cheek. They looked exceptionally pleasing to the eye under the halo of light that bathed them.
Gong Yi clenched his hand into a fist and spoke softly, “Xiyang, you may have kissed her and even taken a photo as proof but I don’t think it is enough to prove that she’s your girlfriend. Only someone who has slept with her can be considered her significant other.”
“You!” Li Xiyang growled with a bellyful of anger.
Gong Yi smiled victoriously. “Xiyang, you’d better give up on Beibei. She’s mine. Don’t say that we’ll break up. Even if we do, it’ll be none of your business. We’re fairly good friends. Let’s stay that way. I’m sure you would agree when I say I wouldn’t want your girlfriend or wife to be someone I’ve slept with.”
Li Xiyang...
“Beibei!” Li Sisi’s cheers rang out beside them. “Beibei, you’re amazing! You’re the best!”
Gong Yi and Li Xiyang looked up at the same time. Bai Beibei had stepped down from the stage. Li Sisi bounded towards her and gave her a fierce hug.
Bai Beibei smiled sweetly. “Sisi, I can’t breathe...”
“Sorry, Sorry. Beibei, let’s go and grab a bite. You can take a break after lunch. We’ll definitely stomp the competition this afternoon.” As she spoke, Li Sisi regarded Xiao Liu, Xiao He, and the others with a hungry look.
The faces of her three companions alternated between red and green.
Bai Beibei nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”
The two girls walked past the VIP seats. Li Sisi was very happy to see Li Xiyang and Gong Yi. She waved her small hand in greeting. “Brother, Young Master Gong!”
The two men greeted her kindly before turning their attentions to Bai Beibei who was beside her.
Bai Beibei did not look at them.
“Beibei, what’s wrong with my brother and Young Master Gong? They don’t look very happy with each other. Did they... fight?”
“I don’t think so... Aren’t they good friends? Sisi, let’s not dwell on such matters. It has nothing to do with us, anyway.”
“Mmm... Okay, let’s go.”
Bai Beibei and Li Sisi continued on their way.
The two men stared at Li Sisi jealously.
“Xiyang, please excuse me. I have matters to attend to.” Gong Yi bade Li Xiyang a curt goodbye before leaving.
Secretary Ajie trailed after him. “President, where would you like to have your lunch?”
Gong Yi responded without pause. “Send it to my office.”
Pulling out his phone from the pocket of his trousers, he dialled a certain number.
A voice as soft and as sweet as an oriole answered with one ring. “Hello...?”
“Come to my office.” He barked.
Bewildered, Bai Beibei responded hesitantly, “But, I’m with Sisi at the moment...”
“I seem to recall you saying that you wanted to return my favour. Am I mistaken? Did you forget the promise you gave me last night? You had better be at my office in five minutes!”
“Du, du.” He hung up the phone.
Bai Beibei...
She did not know what had gotten Gong Yi so riled up. It was as if he had eaten a barrel of gunpowder.
...
Xiao Liu and Xiao He wore unsightly expressions. “I always thought that this Bai Beibei entered through the back door. I didn’t expect her to be this good.”
“That’s right. Bai Qi answered the same thirteen digit multiplication question six years ago. Back then, Bai Qi took 3.6 seconds. Bai Beibei only took 2.17 seconds. That’s way too fast.”
“Bai Beibei will definitely break Bai Qi’s record.”
Xiao Liu regretted it, “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have targeted Bai Beibei. She’s become famous in a single match. All eyes will be on her now. I think Young Master’s Li and Gong are both interested in her. Do you think she’ll bear a grudge for what I did to her last night? I’m scared.”
“It’s all Bai Qi’s fault for misleading us. Bai Qi must have known of her strength and used us.”
“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. We should grab a bite. Bai Beibei is probably going to be the champion of this competition. We’ll leave as soon as the competition ends.”
Xiao Liu and Xiao He trudged away in search of food.
What they didn’t know was that Bai Qi was also there. She was wearing a cap and sat in a remote corner behind them. Unwittingly, the entirety of their conversation had been overheard by her.
Bai Qi clenched her fists. Her long nails dug into the flesh of her palms.
Bai Beibei!
She hated her so much!
Bai Qi looked up and saw Li Xiyang still sitting in the VIP box. He had not left.
Slowly, she made her way to his side.
“Hello, Young Master Li.”
Li Xiyang turned and greeted her with a questioning lilt to his voice. “Miss Bai?”
“Yes, I’m Bai Qi.”
“Is there something you need from me?”
“Yes, Young Master Li. I can tell that you like my sister, Bai Beibei. You do know that Beibei likes Young Master Gong, don’t you?”
“What are you trying to say?”
“Young Master Li, let’s work together. I have a way to break up Beibei and Young Master Gong. Are you interested?”
“Heh.” Li Xiyang smiled knowingly. Meeting Bai Qi’s eyes with a steady gaze of his own, he said, “I’ve heard that Gong Yi fancied you once upon a time. You are still besotted by him, aren’t you? If you really had the ability to break them up, why haven’t you already done so? You wouldn’t be standing here as Miss Bai but as Young Mistress Gong, instead.”
Bai Qi froze, not knowing what to say.
Li Xiyang shrugged. “What right does a loser like you have to demand my cooperation? I think you should be content with where you are now and not fall to illusions of grandeur.”
Li Xiyang left.
Bai Qi was so angry that her whole body trembled with the force of her fury.
...
In the President’s office...
Bai Beibei rushed over, panting. “Knock, knock.”
“Come in.” Gong Yi’s mellow voice sounded from within.
Bai Beibei pushed the door open and entered.
Gong Yi was on the sofa, his two long legs folded elegantly. He was leafing through the documents in his hands. Lunch was laid out on the coffee table in front of him.
It consisted of white rice, fresh seasonal vegetables, soup, desserts, and fruits – typical of Chinese cuisine. The mere sight of all the dishes laid out was enough to arouse her hunger.
She was so, so hungry...
“Come here.” Gong Yi commanded.
“Okay.” Bai Beibei walked over.
“What are you standing there for? I’m hungry. Feed me!” Gong Yi ordered unhappily.
