She didn't see anything particularly special about her.
Bai Su muttered to herself, thinking that in terms of looks, the other woman didn't seem as attractive as her.
Nor was her figure as graceful.
All day long, she either read books or ate. After eating, she would go out for a stroll.
If there was one good thing to say, it was that she could cook many dishes. That little girl often came to ask her what she wanted to eat, and then she would tell the girl what she wanted and how to make it.
She had to admit, the food was truly delicious.
Her stomach had actually gained some weight in the past three days.
Could it be that Xie Chen was a foodie?
That didn't seem right either. He wouldn't have gotten himself into this situation just because of good food, would he? Besides, Qi Zhenzhen was already pregnant with someone else's child. Moreover, the one who entered and exited the kitchen daily to cook was that little girl, and the one delivering food to Xie Chen's place was the brat by the little girl's side.
It had nothing to do with Qi Zhenzhen.
Bai Su's brows furrowed. However, the people around Xie Chen had said that in this temple, Xie Chen interacted most closely with Qi Zhenzhen.
"Do you like your man?" Bai Su suddenly asked Qi Zhenzhen, her tone blunt.
Although Qi Zhenzhen was puzzled as to why Bai Su would suddenly ask this, she still nodded generously, "Naturally."
"Will you fall for someone else again?" Bai Su pressed.
Qi Zhenzhen shook her head decisively, "Naturally not."
Bai Su hummed, let out a long sigh, and then propped her chin in her hand, lost in thought. More than once in the past few days, she had seen Qi Zhenzhen reading letters from her man, and when she read them, the tenderness in her eyes seemed to overflow. It was clear that she wasn't lying about liking her man very much.
Poor Xie Chen, his heartfelt affection was destined to go unanswered.
So, perhaps, she still had a chance?
After thinking it over and over, Qi Zhenzhen couldn't figure out the reason behind Bai Su's questions.
From their interactions over the past few days, she was certain that Bai Su did not intend to harm her. The incident of her feigning an accident was just an excuse to linger here.
"Bai Su, what is that medicated oil of yours for?" Qi Zhenzhen asked.
"It's for repelling insects. If you smear a little on your body, snakes and insects won't come near you," Bai Su replied casually.
"I have something to repel insects too, and it works just as well as yours," Qi Zhenzhen said.
"Are you trying to drive me away?" Bai Su asked, a little agitated. "I don't want yours; I only want mine."
"My insect repellent is in pill form, which is more convenient to carry than your medicated oil," Qi Zhenzhen persuaded.
"Then I don't want it either," Bai Su insisted stubbornly. "Are you going to use your status to force me to agree?"
"I have no intention of forcing you. Under normal circumstances, if I damaged your belongings, we would be even with equivalent compensation. But you... I have reason to suspect you have ulterior motives. If you want to stay, you have to be honest with me, right? Otherwise, I can only use my status to force you. I believe that after staying here for these few days, you should have figured out that I am not without people who can control you," Qi Zhenzhen said calmly.
Bai Su was silent for a moment. "I just wanted to see what kind of person you are."
Recalling her previous questions, Qi Zhenzhen subconsciously assumed that Bai Su had been sent by Gu Sinian.
Even though he had gone to the border, he could still send a whole peach blossom, fearing she would be idle?
"Now you should know what kind of person I am, right?" Qi Zhenzhen said expressionlessly. "So, tell me your thoughts. Do you want to take my place, or do you want me to agree to let you stay?"
"Of course, I want to stay. I don't know anyone here. If he doesn't let me stay by his side, I can still see him often by staying with you," Bai Su said with righteous indignation.
