Transmigration: The Fate of the Villainess

246 Extra The first master of the Bai family (3) Part II

“I haven’t thanked you for taking care of me while I was unconscious.” When he saw that her alluringly beautiful face was bowed down as if she was going to leave, Bai He had to reach out and hold her back with a conversation. Still, he could not meet her gaze or look at her face for too long…especially at the appealing curve of her chest, which he could not take even a single glance at.

This was not the first time they met… Yet this time, she had a devastating effect on his mind, no different from when they had met at Bai Mansion, except back then her manner was adorably amusing, so he could forget the image of that cleavage for a moment and was not as nervous as right now.

“It is only a trivial matter.” Xu Peipei’s face lit up. She raised her face to look at him, who was taller, revealing the tempting line of her neck that led down to the white mounds that were more prominent than any woman.

Bai He evaded her eyes again. He lightly rubbed his nose to drive away shyness before turning back to speak without meeting her gaze. “I’ve troubled Miss Xu.”

“I was willing!” Xu Peipei suddenly stepped forward, closer, causing the nervous person to unconsciously step back. Xu Peipei’s smile froze. Her heart felt as if it was wrenched out and thrown to the ground.

“Apologies, Miss Xu.” He hurriedly apologized for acting as if he was repulsed by her closeness. “Men and women should not be too intimate…” He gave an excuse, even though they had always been more intimate while he was sleeping.

“Master Bai is a gentleman. Pei-er doesn’t blame you at all.” The mask of a noble lady was put on without her realizing how clearly she was bemoaning him through her eyes.

Bai He stared at her gaze as an inexplicable feeling rose.

“Master Bai.”

.....

“Dongfang furen.” The bubble around Bai He and Xu Peipei was destroyed by a greeting from a furen of the Dongfang family, who intentionally interrupted them as her daughter followed politely behind her.

Bai He smiled at the two women, unaware that he had only given Xu Peipei the same smile when she came to greet him. The figure in green turned around and left the conversation with a quick farewell before Bai He could stop her. In maintaining courtesy by continuing to speak with two Dongfang women, he had lost the chance to speak with Xu Peipei again until the end of the banquet.

That time, Bai He had thought that what they had between them would end there.

That was where he was wrong.

“Uncle!”

A little voice came at the same time as an attack from the soft steamed bun-like body. The man who was reading could barely catch that round body in time.

“Ai-er misses Uncle so much!” The younger steamed bun threw herself into a hug as she cutely chirped. The man who had been an uncle for four years smiled, then affectionately kissed her forehead.

“Uncle misses you too.” Bai He gently caressed her hair. Ouyang Zhenai’s face lit up, then she kissed him on both of his cheeks, as she would always do… Her uncle was kinder and more handsome than anyone. Ai-er loved him the most!

“Greetings to Uncle.” Another little voice was heard. It was calmer and more mature than his age, making the uncle feel both affection and pride… His eldest son was just like Ouyang Feilong. His voice, his expression, his…beauty. He could confidently say that this was the second Ouyang Feilong.

As for Ouyang Zhenai… She resembled Bai Yu so much that he could feel a headache. His Yu-er was beautiful and always an expert at acting cute. This little bun was the same. It was not incorrect to say that she was another Bai Yu.

“Where are your parents?” He put the round little body that had attacked him on his lap, as she liked, before knowingly giving her a snack. Ouyang Zhenai took the snack from her handsome uncle’s hand to eat without showing any intention of answering. That was her brother’s responsibility.

“Father is still in the palace with his majesty. Mother is the one who brought me and Sister here.”

Bai He nodded. He produced another snack for his nephew. Ouyang Yongyuan received it and slowly took a bite in the opposite manner to his sister. “And where has she gone off to?”

“Mother is with Grandmother. Ai-er misses uncle so, so, so, so, so much so I asked to leave first.” Ouyang Zhenai answered while she reached out and extended herself from Bai He’s lap in order to grab another snack on the low table. Her attempt was awkward and difficult, as her little arm was clearly shorter than her uncle’s.

Bai He let his niece continue on her own. His sharp eyes turned to his nephew. “She didn’t run out without saying anything to your mother, did she?”

Ouyang Yongyuan nodded.

“Uncle has troubled you, then, nephew.” He stroked the boy’s head with a smile.

Ouyang Yongyuan responded with nothing but a nod as he continued eating the snack in his hand with polite, small bites. He was not panting at all from running around after his naughtier sister… Bai He’s nephew had been learning martial arts since he was young and was becoming stronger and stronger.

Over one ke had passed. One uncle, one nephew, and one niece had finished all the tea and snacks when Bai Yu appeared with the same snack they had eaten. Two little buns loved this snack because they would be able to eat it every time they visited their kind uncle, as this snack was Bai He’s favorite as well.

“Look at how much you’ve eaten. Aren’t you afraid that your uncle will no longer welcome you again?” Bai Yu teased her son and daughter, who were staring at the large dish of snacks with glimmering eyes. No one reacted to their mother’s threat.

Bai He softly laughed before giving the snacks to them each. The two children quietly ate while the adults conversed. “Do you really think I’ll do that, Yu-er?”

“Of course, Brother won’t.” Bai Yu sweetly smiled. Two dimples appeared on her cheeks. “I miss you, brother.” She had traveled to Da Chu and stayed there for several months. It had not been long since her return to Da Yang.

Bai He let out a chuckle. “You say the same thing as Ai-er.”

“But Brother misses me more than Ai-er, right?” Bai Yu moved to sit next to her brother and hugged his arm. Her question was intended to tease both him and her daughter.

“Uncle misses me very very much, right?” Seeing her mother’s action, Ouyang Zhenai used her position on his lap to push herself into her uncle’s chest, acting as cutely as her mother… Normally, she was on her mother’s side in everything. Except when it came to her uncle!

“Let me think…” Bai He pretended to contemplate as he smilingly looked at his niece’s round little face and his sister’s eyes. Ever since the little twin buns were born, he had one more personal sticky bug. However, it never troubled him at all. Whatever his niece and sister begged for, he was always willing to give.

A tug on his sleeve pulled Bai He’s gaze to Ouyang Yongyuan. The boy’s short and plump finger silently pointed to the snack dish. His round eyes were bright… This boy was as good at begging as they were as well. Heh.

“Brother.” Bai Yu shook her brother’s arm.

“Dear uncle.” Ouyang Zhenai pushed her little head against his chest.

“Uncle.” Ouyang Yongyuan pulled his sleeve, his finger pointed firmly at the same object.

Bai He smiled widely until two dimples appeared on his cheeks.

The duty of the first master of the Bai family had somehow changed from protecting his sister to handling the begging power of these children and their mother.
