Bai Zhengli was only worried that Bai Ye might have gone too far in front of Fang Jintang and upset him, so he spoke up aimlessly. In his view, he was doing it entirely for his troublesome and foolish son, Bai Ye! As soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Ye gave him a fierce glare—what did you bring that up for!
Bai Zhengli suddenly realized his mistake. Just last night, he had comforted Fang Yuxin, saying that she didn’t have to push too hard on the grain issue. Besides, these kinds of things don’t yield good results overnight. Consider Qian Sen, who is a renowned botanist, yet after months of research, there was no progress. How could Fang Yuxin get results after just one night?
He really hit a sore point!
Thinking of this, Bai Zhengli couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Fang Jintang. Sure enough, he saw this protective father shooting him an icy glare! He immediately smiled awkwardly and, before Fang Yuxin could respond, comforted her, "Xinxin, your Uncle just misspoke earlier. It wasn’t to pressure you, so don’t take it to heart. Take your time with this matter, there’s no rush."
Fang Yuxin couldn’t help but be moved. No matter what, Bai Zhengli was an elder, and what he said wasn’t exactly wrong. Yet, he could apologize so graciously; how many people can do that?
She thought back to when she had a pretty good relationship with Qiu Yiming. Even when Zhou Fanghua and Qiu Hongsheng occasionally misspoke, she, as a junior, could only endure silently. How could she fuss over it with her elders?
With that thought, she couldn’t help but look at Bai Ye and felt that she really made the right choice.
Bai Ye was initially thinking of comforting her with a few words, but when he suddenly met her smiling gaze, he somehow understood her meaning. He couldn’t help but feel a bit smug, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, even curling the corners of his mouth up high, leaving Bai Zhengli standing on the side secretly despising it!
His son used to be as emotionless as a block of ice, becoming even colder as he grew older, always wearing a stony face, acting as if he had facial paralysis. His expression would only soften a bit when facing him and Shui Rou, but it was never as silly as the smile he wore now. Remembering the time at Beishi Base when Bai Ye first brought Fang Yuxin home, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart that his troublesome and foolish son seemed to be really taken with Fang Yuxin.
