Reborn as a Good Child

106. Powerful Mr Li

"It's a misunderstanding!" Li Sun hurriedly intercepted before Fang Yi could speak. "It's all just a misunderstanding! Master Bai, I didn't know this Officer Fang is your friend. It's why I panicked and spoke too hastily." He then gave Fang Yi a grovelling, apologetic smile. "It had a little too much to drink today, Officer Fang. My mind's not all sober. Please forgive me for any transgressions I may have made. What I just said? That's all just a joke. Don't take it to heart."

Fang Yi frowned. JingYuan's piercing gaze swept at Li Sun and the woman beside him, Tao Qi, whose eyes gleaming up at him.

"Did you just forget about what YiHan said?" he darkly asked.

A spark burst to life in Li Sun's mind. Upon remembering YiHan once told him to never appear before him again, he quickly let out an awkward chuckle.

"No, no. How could I ever dare to forget what Master Bai said? I'll be going right now. Immediately," as Li Sun said so he swiftly fled out the door, ignoring Tao Qi.

As for the woman, she internally scoffed and lambasted him for his heartlessness. To others, she was frozen on the spot. In actuality, she was hesitating. Should she follow suit or should she seize this chance to talk to the male lead? She believed that even if the story had yet to properly start, she was still the female lead. With the plot armour of a female lead, she could attract the male lead's attention for sure. Once she succeeds, she wouldn't have to bear through two agonising years.

And this Bai YiHan, he wasn't looking at her at all. Did he not recognise her or was he playing the fool? Hmph. He must be pretending. She was the protagonist of this world. She was also the only woman in his life he'd ever properly loved. How could he not have carved the memory of her deep in his heart? She did wonder what he was thinking. He actually pretended he didn't know her. It didn't matter what he thought though because he was a short-lived bastard. In just a few years, he'll die in a cruel death. Look at this exquisite young man. He was as pretty as a flower made of jade. She thought back to how the novel said Bai YiHan would die and she couldn't resist the glee rising in her at that. He was born into a good family. He had great looks. He was loved and doted on. So what? He'll just a grasshopper after the end of Autumn. He didn't have many days left to live. In the story, he was the same as Feng Qun. They were dead from the start. Otherwise, as his first love plus her gorgeous looks and sexy body, it'd be a snap to have him as her conquest. She's not an idiot like the original female lead!

Unfortunately, Bai YiHan's destiny was set. He's not worth wasting her efforts on. The important person right now is the male lead. The almighty, powerful male lead! She wanted to walk up to him but then she paused. Nothing had happened yet. The Chen family hadn't turned into the Bai family's enemy yet. The Bai family wasn't bankrupt. Bai YiHan wasn't dead. Would appearing within the male lead's sight, well before she was meant to, going to break the plot? She had to pause and think on it but before she could decide, she heard Bai YiHan shout, "Stop!"

Li Sun jumped. His face twisted for a few moments before he turned around and faced YiHan with a grinning face.

"What other orders do you have for me, Master Bai?" he asked.

"Do you think the police station is your backyard?" YiHan drawled. "You think you can come and go as you please? Since Officer Fang has a few questions for you, I think you should stay behind and cooperate with the officers. Right? It's part of a citizen's duty, don't you think?"

"Yes, that's true," Li Sun hastily agreed. "Look at me. I'm so forgetful. What would you like to know, Officer Fang? I'll tell you all I know!"

"Please take a seat and wait a while, Mr Li," Fang Yi said. "I'll be with you soon."
