However, he really didn't have any principles to speak of in front of her.
Bai Zhun didn't lie. He did indeed talk on the phone with Helian Weiwei last night.
No matter how much he wanted to kidnap his Ajiu, he still had to go through her parents. This was the basic responsibility that he needed to bear in mind.
During the phone call, Helian Weiwei smilingly asked, "What if I don't agree? Have you ever thought about that?"
"Yes, I have thought about it." Bai Zhun replied. "But I still have to make this call."
Helian Weiwei raised her eyebrows, the smile on the corner of her mouth became even wider. "Glad to hear that. I'm happy to let you take care of Ajiu. However, you also know about my two boys. If they find out that you have brought Ajiu away, you will be in trouble."
Of course Bai Zhun knew how difficult it was to deal with his two brother-in-law, especially on matters related to Ajiu.
However, he didn't even tell Ajiu about Helian Weiwei's conditions.
Her girl only needed to be happy and be his bride. As for other things, he didn't need her to worry.
Bai Zhun was also very clear that it was better to keep the marriage a secret.
"You can call Grandpa." Bai Zhun handed her the phone.
Ajiu did not take it. Instead, she smiled and took out her phone. "I have Grandpa Bai's number. Use mine to call him."
"Okay."
When Ajiu called, the hair on her head was still standing. It looked very cute no matter how she looked at it.
Old Master Bai, who had just finished his meeting, saw the call on his phone. Amused, he asked, "Ajiu, why did you call me?"
Ajiu laughed at first, and her voice was very clear. "Grandpa Bai, I'm married to little brother, and I have even got a certificate. I'll be a member of the Bai Family again in the future!"
"W-What did you say?!"
Old Master Bai suspected that there was something wrong with his ears!
Marriage? Getting married?
That's not right!
When did his grandson come back? Why didn't he know?
Ajiu was stunned when she heard Old Master Bai's roar. "Grandpa, aren't you happy that I'm married to Little Brother?"
"How can that be!" Old Master Bai immediately denied it, he quickly adjusted his tone. "Ajiu, Grandpa hopes for the stars and the Moon every day. I hope that the two of you will be together soon! You have always been my granddaughter-in-law. I didn't even let Bai Zhun meet the other girls he introduced to him! My grandson only belongs to our Ajiu."
Ajiu was overjoyed when she heard this. "I am also Grandpa's."
"Can you not sell me around like this?" Bai Zhun came over with a chuckle and gave Ajiu a suggestion. "Let him give you a gift. A granddaughter-in-law must have a wedding gift."
Old Master Bai had heard his grandson's voice on the other end of the phone a long time ago. Now that he was close enough, he could not help but ask, "When did you come back? Was what Ajiu said true? Are you two married? Did you get married?"
When he said the word 'married', old master Bai's voice trembled.
When did this bastard get married?
Ajiu was still young. Could she get married at such a young age?
Old Master Bai was a tough person and had been a good soldier all his life. But at this moment, he chose to turn a blind eye because he knew better than anyone else how much his grandson had sacrificed in order to marry Ajiu.
After a few cold bones and full of injuries, he returned. Even when he was taking bullets from the hospital bed, he was still chanting that person's name.
It was time to give him some compensation.
This grandson of his had supported the Bai Family and protected their territory when others were supposed to fall in love.
Now, he would do as he pleased!
"Forget it, Grandpa won't ask you anymore. You don't have any truth in your mouth."
Chapter 1317 - Act Fast
But before he could say anything, Ajiu had opened her mouth and said to the other side of the phone, "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense. What can my little brother worry about? I like him so much and I'm afraid that he would run away. That's why I proposed to him."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Bai was stunned, and then he laughed loudly. "Your little brother won't be able to run away for the rest of his life!"
"Yes, I know. Military marriages were protected by the law. We could not get divorce randomly," Ajiu clenched Bai Zhun's hand and said very seriously. "My little brother will be mine from now on."
Although it was a wonderful thing to hear, Bai Zhun also knew that if he continued to speak, the old master's laughter would never stop.
He decisively took the phone from Ajiu's hand and hung up for her.
Bai Zhun knew very well what his grandfather was like. He reckoned that his grandfather had already started to call those grandfathers in the residential area to brag about what had happened today.
The thought made him shake his head with a smile.
Ajiu did not understand what he was laughing about. Just then, she felt that her stomach was very empty, so she reached out to touch it and looked up. "Little Brother, I'm hungry."
"I know. I'll take you to the place where you usually eat," Bai Zhun said as he patted her head. Her breath was warm and her appearance was handsome.
It could be said that when he was always treating Ajiu in a very gentle manner.
The two of them went to a vegetarian restaurant. Usually, a restaurant like this would not have low prices in good places, and the environment was also elegant.
But the restaurant in front of them was one of the most famous stores in the entire capital.
Because it was quiet and well-hidden, it was preferred by the upper-class people and big stars.
However, there was one thing. No one dared to cause trouble here, and no paparazzi followed them.
Because it was very simple. Whoever did something here would pay the price the next day.
Similarly, this restaurant was not like other vegetarian restaurants, which rejected ordinary people because of the good environment.
The dishes in the restaurant were absolutely worth it. As long as one could find this restaurant, the chef would provide one with the best dishes.
Even if you only ordered one serving of old Beijing fried sauce noodles, the sauce was well-placed. The fresh cuc.u.mber strips and shredded green onion were added into the noodles, and half a teaspoon of oil was poured on top of it. The piercing aroma was accompanied by the store's special gr.a.p.efruit cold tea. It was extremely delicious.
The authentic taste, childhood memories, and every bite would make people want to raise their thumbs up.
According to their chef, the Boss had told them to make this noodles well.
Other than white rice, his girl's favorite food was fried sauce made from eggs. With a big bowl of noodles, she could eat several big bowls of noodles when she was young.
People guessed that the owner of the restaurant opened this restaurant probably because of the girl he mentioned.
The name of the restaurant only had one word, 'Temple'.
The signboard was made of mahogany.
After Bai Zhun walked in with Ajiu, a waiter dressed in a cheongsam immediately came up to them with a smile. "Sir, how many people are there?"
"Two."
"Yes, Sir, this way please."
The waiter arranged for them to sit by the window. Ajiu could just see the flowers blooming outside and the green stone walls where she sat. The ancient charm was very pleasing to the eye.
Ajiu truly felt that this restaurant was very comfortable.
The waiter looked at her and smiled. "Miss, I don't know if you have a character 'Jiu' in your name. If there is one, please let me know in advance. Our restaurant will provide a free order service."
"Free?" Ajiu's beautiful tiger eyes became round. "That good?"
In response, the waiter explained, "This is the rule since we opened
the restaurant. It has never changed."
"Then I have a nine in my name."Ajiu said with a serious face, "Bai Lijiu, but I eat a lot. Will I have a free meal too?"
When the waiter heard her words, he originally needed the customer to show his ID card for her to confirm his name. However, suddenly, the waiter chose not to ask for his ID card. His thin lips curled. "No, Miss, just eat as much as you can. Our restaurant likes girls who can eat."
After hearing that, Ajiu turned her head and said to Bai Zhun, "Little Brother, this restaurant is so cute. It likes girls who can eat, and it's free."
Bai Zhun did not look surprised. Instead, he pulled her hand over and let her look at the menu together. He asked in a low voice, "How about eating fried sauce noodles?"
"Yes!" Ajiu liked to eat everything that was edible.
While rubbing her forehead, he elegantly returned the menu to the waiter. "We would like two big bowls of fried sauce noodles. Put more sauce in one of the bowls. Mke sure the eggs are medium-rare."
This was the first time the waiter had met someone who asked for the temperature of the eggs in the fried sauce noodles. After a pause, he smiled and said, "Yes, sir."
Ajiu was still rubbing her stomach. She looked eagerly at the stir-fried dishes on the next table before she shifted her eyes to the little brother who was very close to her.
In the end, she still placed her gaze on Bai Zhun's face.
It seemed that the little brother looked more delicious.
"Ajiu." Bai Zhun seemed to sigh. He put down the Teacup at his fingertips, then turned his body to the side and lifted her chin. Taking advantage of the time when others were not paying attention, he gently bit her lips. His voice was very low and somewhat hoarse. "How many times have I said? When you're outside, please don't look at me like this."
Ajiu was bitten until her face turned red. Her eyes were calm, but her hands were not idle. She took Bai Zhun's hand and wrote the word "hungry" on his palm one stroke at a time.
She wrote it three times in total. right then, Bai Zhun only felt something as soft as a feather c.a.r.e.s.sing his heart.
Outside the window was the faint fragrance of Osmanthus. The early autumn wind was very comfortable. If only time could stop like this.
That was the deepest thought in Bai Zhun's heart at that moment.
However, he knew better than anyone that it was still not the time.
He would only be discharged from the army in another three years.
"Sir, Miss, your noodles."
The waiter smiled faintly and brought two large bowls over. The fried sauce noodles were arranged very nicely. Other than the sauce, there were also various types of side dishes as well as two large cups of herbal tea. At the bottom of the bowls was a tiger-headed fish that was still swimming. The rim of the bowl were matched with lotus leaves, which had been modified into an umbrella to keep the cold tea fragrant.
Just such a beautiful plate arrangement was enough to animate one's appetite.
Ajiu's face was small, and that bowl was especially big. When she buried her head in her food, her entire face seemed to be buried in it. The two strands of hair on her head were still standing upright, which made her look like cat.
The more Ajiu ate, the brighter her eyes became. It was like the taste of the noodles that little brother had made during her exams before this!
Chapter 1318 - Body Checking
Bai Zhun tilted his head and glanced at her. Seeing her white and tender teeth biting into the noodles, he suddenly remembered that when Ajiu had just arrived at the Bai Family, she was still young and had a small bald head. Even when she ate a vegetable, she still had to bite down hard. She was always able to melt the hearts of the group of people in the courtyard.
Now, she was still like this.
As Bai Zhun laughed, he picked up the wooden chopsticks and stuffed a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth.
When he was with Ajiu, he would always eat more than usual. It was not a matter of a day or two for the children to eat.
However, others did not think so.
Especially the two women who had just been brought in from outside by the waiter. They were wearing white coats outside and military uniforms inside.
"Captain Bai?"
The first woman to speak was very elegant. Most probably, she came from a wealthy family because her skin was well-maintained, and she was looking at Bai Zhun with an unconcealable joy in her eyes.
This woman was none other than He Chuqiao, the female military doctor who had confessed to Bai Zhun.
She did not expect to see Bai Zhun here, and her face was flushed.
But when her eyes swept over and landed on Ajiu, her eyes quickly flashed with a hint of sadness.
Ye Xiaoxiao, who was following beside He Chuqiao, knew her good friend's thoughts. Therefore, she used her arm to touch her, her voice was low. "Seeing that girl is younger than Captain Bai, it's very likely that she's a friend or sister. What are you thinking about here? Since they haven't confirmed their relationship, you will still have a chance."
He Chuqiao's face turned even redder when she heard her good friend's words. Then, she strode forward and uttered, "Captain Bai, what a coincidence. How's the injury on your back?"
"Little Brother's back is injured?" Ajiu was still eating noodles. When she heard this question, she immediately lifted her face.
That lovely face of hers surpassed the beauty of He Chuqiao and the others.
Ye Xiaoxiao's heart also sank.
Ignoring He Chuqiao, he used his finger to wipe the corner of Ajiu's lips. With a warm smile, he said, "It was a long time ago."
"I want to check. I'll check when I get back!" Ajiu was very serious in this aspect.
Bai Zhun, on the other hand, grinned. "Okay, I will let you check my entire body."
Ajiu was such an adorable lady. No matter how smart she was, all she cared about was Bai Zhun's injuries. How could she have known that this sentence was just a trick? She immediately nodded and agreed when she heard that he was injured.
But it was this kind of interaction that made He Chuqiao's heart ache more.
No one knew that when He Chuqiao was his physician back then, he would not let her touch his hospital gown even if she wanted to help him. On the contrary, the soldiers under him would never reject her.
There was not a single trace of coldness in his eyes.
Why was it like this?!
And now he did not have the intention to pay attention to her from the beginning to the end.
He Chuqiao's face was bleeding from embarrassment.
Ye Xiaoxiao, who was following behind her, had never been treated like this. Everyone in the restaurant was looking at them.
She and Chuqiao were flowers in the army. No matter where they went, they would be stared at with envy.
Captain Bai was a soldier after all. No matter how noble he looked, he could not hide the rude aura he exuded.
Just by looking at the two big bowls of fried sauce noodles he ordered, one could tell.
Therefore, Ye Xiaoxiao reached out and pulled He Chuqiao over. With a fake smile, she said, "Chuqiao, let's not disturb Captain Bai and his little girlfriend eating fried sauce noodles. With such good conditions, what kind of man would reject you? The more polite you are to some people, the more arrogant they become. I've heard before that some ordinary office workers who know about this place always come to take a look. However, the dishes are always painful for them as foreigners. Therefore, this fried sauce noodles has become their first choice. In the past, I didn't know about it, but now that I've seen Captain Bai's girlfriend, I finally understand this principle. Fried sauce noodles are just a cheap dish..."
There was a loud bang!
The small bowl in Bai Zhun's hand had been thrown heavily to the ground.
Ye Xiaoxiao was so frightened that she shivered, and her face turned pale at first. "What do you think this place is? How could you be so arrogant? We gave you face before be
cause of Chuqiao, but you're just trying to show off, aren't you? "..."
In fact, whether it was Ye Xiaoxiao or He Chuqiao, they had only seen the injured Bai Zhun in the past. As medical staff, they would bandage the wounds of injured soldiers every day.
However, they didn't know Bai Zhun's name, let alone why he had been injured.
This information was something confidential.
Back then, He Chuqiao had wanted to pursue Bai Zhun, which was why she cared about him very much. However, those soldiers all laughed and said, "It was an accident during training."
Therefore, Ye Xiaoxiao was certain that Bai Zhun had no background. After all, when he was injured, no one with a high military rank had come to visit him.
How would Ye Xiaoxiao know that no one had gone because they had received Bai Zhun's orders.
He also did not want to let Ajiu see the blood.
He knew he must be safe.
Otherwise, he would not feel at ease handing over his Ajiu to anyone else.
The news had been sealed at the highest level, so why would anyone go to check on the injuries.
However, Ye Xiaoxiao had taken it for granted that Bai Zhun did not have a background, which was why she dared to challenge him like this!
Very soon, the noise over here attracted a large number of waiters!
Ye Xiaoxiao pointed at Bai Zhun and said to the waiters, "This person caused trouble in the restaurant. He was also the one who broke the bowl."
He was really ignorant. He didn't even ask about what kind of place the 'temple' was, and he just wanted to show off!
When the waiters heard this, they stretched out their hands and said, "Sir, please leave this restaurant immediately, or else..."
The chef, who had never come out before, actually hurried to Bai Zhun's side and directly interrupted them, "Shut up!"
The waiters paused.
The chef smiled, "Young Master, long time no see. When I heard the servants say that the eggs should be medium-rare, I wondered if you were back. As expected, it's really you!"
Y-Young Master?!
