Chapter 66: I Am Leng Yichen
Before leaving work, Bai Yiran received a call from Lou Jing, who had been discharged early from the hospital to avoid wasting money and was now recuperating at home. She asked Bai Yiran if she wanted to come over in the evening.
Bai Yiran agreed without thinking. She certainly didn’t want to go back and face that big devil, Leng Yichen!
Lou Jing’s injuries hadn’t fully healed yet, with her head still wrapped in bandages and bruises on her face. Bai Yiran knew Lou Jing usually didn’t eat well, so she made a special trip to the supermarket before coming to buy a lot of things for her, now she was stocking them into the fridge one by one.
"You bought so much stuff, I won’t be able to finish it. It’ll be wasted if I throw it away," Lou Jing said as she sat on the sofa eating the fruits Bai Yiran had bought.
"Well, you just have to eat it all!" Bai Yiran put the last item into the fridge and turned around to say to Lou Jing, "I’ve sweated a lot today, so I’ll go take a shower first."
"Sure, go ahead! You know where my things are."
When Leng Yichen returned home, he saw Sister Liu still in the kitchen making Mao’s Braised Pork but didn’t see Bai Yiran anywhere. "Where’s Bai Yiran?"
Sister Liu shook her head, "She hasn’t come back yet. I thought she’d return with you, sir. Didn’t she?"
Leng Yichen looked at his watch, it was almost seven o’clock. Bai Yiran should have left work at five thirty, normally she would be home by six thirty. Her not being back by now was unusual, and Leng Yichen’s expression darkened.
Sister Liu noticed that Leng Yichen seemed to be angry, presumably at Bai Yiran. That afternoon, Leng Yichen especially called Sister Liu to make Mao’s Braised Pork, which Bai Yiran liked, thinking that maybe some food she loved would brighten the little girl’s mood.
