Chapter 249: Market day with Ah Qi

That night, even if Ah Qi was there, Bai Yi Yang and her family routine didn't change much. She and Bai Yi Chen did homework together then she went to write the research paper a bit. That's when Zhang Yong suddenly called.

"I can't make it again today, sorry." He said. He actually mentioned about coming to Qinfang Village for a while with Mr.Feng but Mr.Feng came alone today when he was picking up the dried mushrooms.

"No problem, I was busy the whole day too." Bai Yi Yang answer awkwardly, one hand is scrolling through the completed writing. When she pick up the phone call, Ah Qi who was watching cartoons with the kids look at Bai Yi Yang with deathly stare, how can she keep calm?

"I wanted to come but I am too busy, too many works. My family are also facing some problems not long ago, it just pass by and now I have too much work again." Zhang Yong complain like how he used to.

"Err..a lot of work means it's good, isn't it?" Bai Yi Yang laugh, her glances goes to Ah Qi once in a while. Even though Ah Qi is still watching TV, he doesn't seems to be in great mood.

"How can it be good. Yi Yang, when are you coming over to City Nan again? I wanted to hang out with you." Zhang Yong said.

"City Nan? I won't be able to, final exams and so on." Bai Yi Yang said.

'Hey, hey, Host. Can't you be quick? I can't stand your boyfriend's darkening aura.' TongTong said. Each second that pass, Ah Qi smile is becoming more scary.

'I know, I know.' Bai Yi Yang have an invisible sweat. Well, Ah Qi is really someone who gets jealous easily.

"Hey, I am going to hang up now. Have some work to do." Bai Yi Yang said to Zhang Yong.

"That soon? I wanted to talk more now that I have time." Zhang Yong said.

"Can't do. Next time. Bye." Bai Yi Yang hang up before Zhang Yong can say anything.

"It has been long since we didn't see Big brother Zhang." Bai Yi Fang said to her eldest sister after Bai Yi Yang hang up the phone.

"He is busy, he don't have time to come." Bai Yi Yang said, she glance at the sulking Ah Qi and decided to close her laptop for now. Coaxing Ah Qi is more important.

"Wanna watch movie?" Bai Yi Yang sat next to Ah Qi and take the remote control. This is asking for his opinion, he must be bored watching cartoons with the children.

"Why? We can continue watching cartoons and you can continue to talk with..your 'friend'." Dongfang Qi Ze emphasised the word friend.

"Don't be like that. Let's watch some comedy movie okay." Bai Yi Yang smile sweetly at Ah Qi, then she wink at him.

"Fine." Its not like Dongfang Qi Ze can say no to her, so just let her be happy bah. Then, they all ended up watching 2 movies, in the middle of the second movie, the children has fallen asleep. Bai Yi Chen send them to sleep in the room and continue to watch movie with Bai Yi Yang and Ah Qi.

"You are not sleepy?" Bai Yi Yang ask Ah Qi. He had work today then he even travel far here, he should be tired.

"No. I usually sleep at 1.00 am to 2.00 am then woke up early. I don't sleep a lot." Dongfang Qi Ze answer.

"Really? I can't do that, I like to sleep. You must also start to eat and sleep well, how can I be assured if you don't do that." Bai Yi Yang said in low voice, Bai Yi Chen is focus watching the movie so he didn't hear them talk.

"I will do that. I am eating breakfast everyday thanks to you." Dongfang Qi Ze smile. Bai Yi Yang gave him a lot of food, he only like eating that. Most of the time he will eat salad.

"Ah, the food I gave you? If you like it I can make more, when you return you can eat rice with eat. What do you usually eat then?" Bai Yi Yang ask again, the movie doesn't even interest them anymore.

"Salad with some protein. I just drink coffee for breakfast." Dongfang Qi Ze answer. He have this one restaurant where his assistant often bought food for him. He usually don't have much interest in food before, he rarely eat rice because he just don't like restaurants food in general, he got to try different dishes during family dinner and that also wasn't like how he is now.

Here, Dongfang Qi Ze can eat up to 3 bowls of rice with many dishes at each meal. When Bai Yi Yang gave him all the frozen food, his apostles at home also increase. Bai Yi Yang basically just gave him things that he can heat up, steam, pop in the oven or just grill on the pan with some oil. If he pair it up with some salad and rice, it became a complete meal. That's how he have been eating this whole week. The changes is quite apparent, the assistant even hired a skilled aunt to do the cooking.

"That's not good. This won't do, tomorrow I will do the shopping. I will make a lot of side dishes and frozen food for you." Bai Yi Yang said.

"Ge, tomorrow I will do the shopping." Bai Yi Yang said to Bai Yi Chen.

"You sure?" Bai Yi Chen ask.

"En. I will bring Yang Yang tomorrow." Dongfang Qi Ze is the one who answer.

"Okay. Fine with me." Bai Yi Chen said.

While watching the movie, Bai Yi Yang chat a lot with Ah Qi. Only when the movie ended did they returned to their own room to sleep. It was already 12.35 am when they return to their room.

Bai Yi Yang woke up the next day and quickly get ready. She wore a white short pants and a beige colour crop top, her hair is pulled into a ponytail and she tie a twilly scarf that goes well with her outfit. Lastly, she wore a white sneakers and a simple sling bag.

"Ready?" Dongfang Qi Ze also wore a lot of white, their outfits actually match each other. He was waiting for Bai Yi Yang at the living room.

"En." Bai Yi Yang nod and took Ah Qi hand as they walk out. The other is still sleeping, there is no one who will see them holding hands except for TongTong who was fed dog food early in the morning.

Dongfang Qi Ze who never open a door for anyone did it smoothly for Bai Yi Yang, of course things like this he just learned it after he start dating Bai Yi Yang. There are too many things that he learn from being with Bai Yi Yang in such a short time.

"Your car is nice." Bai Yi Yang said to Ah Qi when he sat at the driver seat.

"Really? Do you like this kind of car?" Dongfang Qi Ze ask as he help her wear the seatbelt naturally. He also adjusted the air conditioning so that Bai Yi Yang is comfortable with the temperature. If she like this kind of car then he should buy one too, this is actually his subordinate car that follow him around.

"I don't have any preference towards car, as long as it is comfortable. I like anything you like." Bai Yi Yang grinned and thank him. Ah Qi is so sweet, she like how considerate he is towards her, she like him even more.

"En." Dongfang Qi Ze smile lightly. This time, it was Bai Yi Yang who cupped his handsome face and kiss him, she giggle after seeing Ah Qi's adorable reaction. Ah, he is not only handsome, he is also quite adorable when he is flustered.

"One more time." Dongfang Qi Ze who have taste the sweetness ask shamelessly.

"Go away." Bai Yi Yang laugh and push his face away. Dongfang Qi Ze also laugh and start driving.

Along the way, Bai Yi Yang will point at many things and tell Ah Qi about it, the trip that usually takes only 20-30 minutes become a 45 minutes trip. Dongfang Qi Ze's bodyguard who was following behind the car feels that this is the first time their young master ever drive this slow. They also need to slow down many times because they don't want to alarm the young master's little girlfriend. Even though they are tortured by the speed, they finally see the young master's little girlfriend in person after all this time.

'No taking picture.' Dongfang Qi Ze warn his people early on via text when he noticed them taking out their phone while following them around. So, even if the other assistants in City Zhou wanted to ask Assistant He to snap pictures of their young master and his girlfriend, they don't dare to do so openly, the bravest of the bunch Assistant He manage to take only a few.

Bai Yi Yang bring Ah Qi to the butcher shop first, she haven't go out to shop for a while so she is quite excited. Dongfang Qi Ze only follow her behind, when there are people he will shield her from bumping onto them, when she is choosing stuff he will stand next to her while warning people to stay away with his glares.

"Why do I think that young master look like a bodyguard next to the little miss?" A bodyguard who was monitoring from afar using binoculars said this.

"I also think so." Assistant He also nod.

"The young master's little girlfriend is too amazing, how can out young master look like that when he is with her? I only seen the young master contacting her before and it is already bizarre, seeing it with my own eyes is really unbelievable." The head of bodyguard said.

"This is also my first time seeing this. The young master is already whipped even he is chatting with the little miss. Who knows that it is worse than that in reality." Assistant He said. Just look at them, isn't their mighty young master has become a stuff carrier now, both his hand is full with stuff.

"You properly prepared banknotes today right? I can't look at our young master being humiliated like last time again." The head of bodyguard said to Assistant He.

Assistant He may have higher hierarchy in the company but overall, Assistant Long is number 1 and number 2 will be the head of bodyguard, Ling Che Lan. The two people have been the longest with their young master and have the most important roles. The other assistants and bodyguards came later.

"I know Bodyguard Ling. Don't worry, I have stuffed the young master's wallet a lot of 100 yuan banknotes." Assistant He said proudly.

But, what happened a few minutes later was out of their expectation. Bai Yi Yang wanted to purchase some snacks and let Ah Qi have a taste. It was a 4 yuan pancakes with sweet fillings, Bai Yi Yang remember that her small siblings like it, maybe Ah Qi will like it too.

"I will pay it." Dongfang Qi Ze said and took out his wallet, seeing that there are a lot of cash inside, he feels satisfied with his assistant's work. Bai Yi Yang nod, she didn't think much about things like who pays for the stuff and so on.

"Total is 8 yuan." The lady selling the pancakes gave it to Bai Yi Yang. They bought 2 types of pancake. Dongfang Qi Ze gave the lady a 100 yuan banknotes and the lady have an awkward expression on her face.

"Sorry young man, do you have smaller bills. I don't have enough change to give you." The pancakes seller said.

"Smaller bills?" Dongfang Qi Ze look confused, he is someone who rarely buy things by himself, even if he did he usually use card. He have only use banknotes a few times, this is one of the time which can be counted with one hand.

"Yes. 10 yuan or 20 yuan is okay." The pancake seller said.

"I don't have..I only have 100 yuan banknotes." Dongfang Qi Ze feels that he really had make himself a joke. Even if he have banknotes, he can't even pay for a 8 yuan snacks.

Bai Yi Yang also saw his wallet and there really are no other banknotes other than 100 yuan, what more there are a lot of it inside his wallet. She look at Ah Qi feeling dumbfounded, this man, is he being serious now? Bai Yi Yang can't help but laugh when she saw his flustered face.

"You must not used to coming to small market?" Bai Yi Yang ask and Ah Qi nod.

"I will pay. Later I will bring you to change the money into smaller one." She add again. Only after that did they move on, Bai Yi Yang cling onto his arm and try to coax him to feel better.

"It was also like this when I was out with Yi Chen, they don't accept my card, now they won't accept 100 yuan banknotes." Dongfang Qi Ze said to Bai Yi Yang, feeling that he is being played around whenever he came here.

"It's different here compared to big city. The technology is not yet implemented in small market like this." Bai Yi Yang smile. Well, she was actually quite shocked when she heard Ah Qi complain like this, if she didn't know better, she would have thought that he is a young master who is oblivious of the situation of common people like her.

"You won't dislike me right? I can't even pay for the food." Dongfang Qi Ze said again.

"No way. I like you the most." Bai Yi Yang said and lean her head onto his arm as they walk around with a big smile. Only then did Dongfang Qi Ze feel better. So what if he depends on his little girlfriend to pay his food?

Well, he may feel there is nothing wrong with this but his subordinates who saw this wanted to buried their head into the ground. Their young master has really changed, he had became too shameless. When he wanted to eat something, it was his little girlfriend who payed for it, what more he even look proud and happy about it.

"This is my fault. All my fault." Assistant He sigh, he look so lifeless now. He can't keep looking anymore.

"It is indeed your fault. Why didn't you prepare small money too?" Bodyguard Ling said.

"How will I know that the pancakes seller won't have a small change? Even if the young master beat me up, I will accept it. I really have failed to protect the young master's dignity. Can you imagine it, the head of Dongfang family can't even pay a 8 yuan pancakes and need his little girlfriend to buy snacks for him?" Assistant He said, his gaze is empty and he is emotionless.

"Who will know it other than us? As long as we don't say anything." Bodyguard Ling said.

"Right. This secret, we must being to our coffin." Assistant He immediately want everyone who saw it. They all nod and swear to keep it a secret. They must protect the young master dignity no matter what!
