Chapter 174: Chapter 172: Bai Qi Enraged_1
And no matter how Fang Ren looked at it, he found this woman eerily familiar. Even though a straw hat hid half of her face, revealing only her chin and lips, he still felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
Just those crimson lips alone... He couldn\'t help feeling as if he had kissed them himself just by looking at them.
As the woman in the white dress entered the restaurant, her ethereal aura drew many gazes. It was as if she was enveloped in a halo of light, and even in simple attire, she stood out strikingly.
Watching the woman in the white dress walk straight towards him, Fang Ren activated his soul vision again—this time at a much closer distance. He saw a soul within the white-dressed woman that was slightly different from her own.
In such a case, the explanation could either be that, like Bai Qi, she had undergone a spiritual root transplant in her childhood, or the woman was pregnant.
And the possibility of transplanting a spiritual root, even now, was considered by everyone as an impossibility, with no clue as to how people in the past managed to transplant their spiritual roots into Bai Qi\'s body.
Generally speaking, once a spiritual root is removed from a body, it should wither and die, making transplanting it an unlikely notion.
A young individual who had undergone a spiritual root transplant and had reached the Xuanyang Realm in cultivation—Bai Qi was the only known person in the world.
No matter how he analyzed it, the conclusion was that the woman must be pregnant.
Fang Ren wore a smile on his face as he opened his eyes and watched the woman in the white dress approach step by step. He really wanted to go up, pick her up, and give her a kiss, but he couldn\'t. There was a fiancée in front of him who held severe convictions about "premarital relations," so he had to sit appropriately, pretending not to recognize her.
Bai Qi had wrestled with the issue for a long time and eventually decided not to break up with Fang Ren.
It wasn\'t that she feared being without means if she broke up with him, nor did she feel indebted for owing Fang Ren money... Her mind was in turmoil just thinking about it, and ultimately, on impulse, she determined she didn\'t want to end her relationship with Fang Ren.
Anyway, she didn\'t want to become strangers with Fang Ren. As for liking Brother Song, she thought these two matters didn\'t clash; she would consider ending the relationship later... For now, she didn\'t want to just disappear from his life forever.
Bai Qi gave up contemplating the issue and decided to follow her feelings.
Since she wasn\'t breaking up, of course she had to comfort Fang Ren.
Lifting her head, she planned to quickly appease his temper.
However, the moment she looked up, she saw Fang Ren gazing fixedly at a woman in a white dress who had just entered the door, with an intensely direct stare.
From Bai Qi\'s perspective, it seemed Fang Ren, upon seeing a beautiful woman, had instantly forgotten the anger he had shown towards her earlier, his face bright with a radiant smile, not at all like his earlier sulky self!
Witnessing this scene, Bai Qi\'s recently brewed intentions to comfort him vanished instantly, and her expression involuntarily turned indignant again.
He obviously liked her, yet there he was, ogling another woman right in front of her, and staring so dumbfoundedly!
"Hey!"
Bai Qi hurriedly knocked on the table, her tone filled with displeasure.
"Huh?"
Fang Ren immediately pulled his gaze from the woman in the white dress, glanced at Bai Qi, who looked incensed, and blinked in confusion, "What\'s wrong with you?"
"You can\'t behave like this even if you\'re upset with me!" Bai Qi pouted and frowned.
"Upset?"
Fang Ren was puzzled again. The girl must be imagining some unfathomable notion that even digging three feet into his brain, he couldn\'t have thought of.
"Pretending!" Bai Qi looked at him and spat out the word.
This guy was clearly throwing a tantrum at her, and now he\'s pretending he doesn\'t understand what she\'s talking about.
After reconsidering the situation, she was sure that he got so angry that he simply decided to lash out, as if looking at beautiful women wasn\'t something one could do anytime. Besides, that woman had a good figure, but you couldn\'t even see her face, how could she be more attractive than her?
It was obviously something Fang Ren did on purpose, casually looking at another woman just to make a show for her and provoke her.
Hmph! Such dishonesty!
Bai Qi continued to stuff a chicken leg into his mouth, glaring at him with a look of indignation.
Then, just at that moment, the woman in the white dress had suddenly stopped right next to Bai Qi and Fang Ren\'s dining table. Bai Qi thought she was just passing by and didn\'t pay much attention, but now that the woman had stopped, Bai Qi felt even more uncomfortable.
She was certain that this woman was upset because Fang Ren was staring at her, and she had come over to say something like "Keep your boyfriend\'s eyes in check."
My fiancé is looking at you? Do you think he\'s interested in you? Let me tell you, that\'s impossible. If he wasn\'t trying to make me jealous, he wouldn\'t even give you a second glance!
Bai Qi had mentally prepared this script and was waiting for the woman in the white dress to speak arrogantly, so she could retort.
"Excuse me, sir, may I have a word with you?" The woman in the white dress said with a smile.
Her voice was melodious, exceptionally pleasant to the ear.
"..."
Bai Qi was stunned; this wasn\'t at all like the script she had in her mind. Wasn\'t the woman supposed to think Fang Ren was a creep for staring at her and come over to confront him?
What the hell does "may I have a word with you" mean?
"Yes."
While Bai Qi was still shocked by the unplanned turn of events, Fang Ren, who was sitting opposite her, had already answered and stood up.
"What are you doing?"
As soon as Bai Qi heard him agree without a second thought, she immediately became frantic, her delicate brows furrowed as she looked at him: "There\'s no need to take the jealousy this far, right? I was already thinking about how to sweet-talk you."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Fang Ren quickly intervened, this girl could let her imagination run wild usually, but now she was saying these things in front of his child\'s mother. What if Mu Huanqing misunderstood?
Fang Ren immediately found an excuse, quickly saying, "The person next to us... she\'s a sister from my family clan, she came over to talk to me about something. You keep eating, I\'ll step out for a moment."
Before Bai Qi could even react, Fang Ren had already gotten up and walked outside, with the woman in the white dress following him out.
As they were leaving, the woman in the white dress gave a glance towards Bai Qi, her face wearing a slight smile as she left.
Bai Qi watched him leave in a daze, completely bewildered.
Sister?
Among the three masters of the Fang Family, aside from Fang Zheng who has a daughter, the others have sons. Moreover, that daughter is Fang Ren\'s actual younger sister.
Where did this sudden "sister" come from?
A few seconds later, Bai Qi fell into deep thought.
Could it be... this guy has got a side chick?
