Lei Qian touched his nose when he heard the blaming note in the voice of Bai Jixuan’s words. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t dare to; after all, even though he was the one who caused Bai Meiyue to be pregnant, the truth was that the woman was the one who jumped on him!
He was the victim here.
However, Lei Qian knew that he couldn’t say such a thing to Bai Jixuan, so he could only accept his blame and carry the pot on his head. He raised the corner of his mouth and questioned, "Is there something that I can do to help you, Master Jixuan?"
"Mom has called for you." Bai Jixuan rolled his eyes; he could not understand why his mother liked this man so much. Other than his pretty face and skills, Bai Jixuan thought that Lei Qian was quite a troublesome and problematic person. Just look at how many women he attracted. If not for him, his sister wouldn’t be in this mess.
Lei Qian nodded as he followed Bai Jixuan without saying anything. When he arrived at the kitchen, he saw Mother Bai fretfully ladling some porridge and chicken soup. She then turned to look at Lei Qian when she heard the sound of footsteps and questioned, "Ah Qian, has the situation become troublesome?" Though Mother Bai was not as quick in adapting, she was quick in understanding the mood of her daughter. She knew that there was something troubling Bai Meiyue.
"It seems like she is worried about Yu Miaomiao," Lei Qian honestly replied. His expression was uneasy as he said to Mother Bai, "I think it will be better if we start guarding against the outsiders as well. From now on, try to keep an eye on the things that you eat and wear."
When Mother Bai heard his response, her expression shifted to one of unease. She rubbed her hands over her apron and then said to Lei Qian, "Has the situation become so troublesome?"
"You can say that," Lei Qian solemnly replied. Even though he hoped to give an answer which was completely different from the one which Mother Bai was looking for, there was nothing that Lei Qian could do. Because this was the truth. If Bai Meiyue was worried about something, then certainly there was something wrong.
Mother Bai saw the seriousness on the face of Lei Qian, and she suddenly worried. Maybe there was a danger looming over their heads that she was not aware of. She nodded and said to Lei Qian, "Do not worry, Ah Qian. I will make sure that no one touches the pot of food other than me."
Her daughter was carrying a child; there was no way she would allow anyone to harm her! Especially with the Bai family living next to her.
