Chapter 515 When Did You Come Back
"I came back yesterday and had a rest all night, so I wanted to come and see you."

Hu Lai said it lightly, but only he knew that when he learned about Bai Duoduo's current situation abroad, he couldn't bear it at all. He left all the mess behind him and flew over directly.

But Bai Duoduo couldn't be contacted no matter what, he thought something happened, so he rushed over in a panic.

God knows how excited he was when he saw Bai Duoduo opened the door of the room and stood in front of him peacefully.

But he didn't want Bai Duoduo to feel embarrassed and alienated from him, so he resisted his temper and pretended to be indifferent and alienated.

"Did something happen? Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

Bai Duoduo went to the open kitchen and poured a glass of lemonade for Hu Lai.

Hu Lai took it, nodded politely at Bai Duoduo, and then sat down.

It's just that he held the glass slightly harder, and the fatigue in his heart was swept away by this glass of lemonade. It turned out that Bai Duoduo still remembered his preferences.

"I need to go back to my country for business, so I just came to see you..."

Hu Lai hesitated to speak, and subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall. He saw that Bai Duoduo was exhausted. Seeing that she was safe, he actually didn't want to bother her at this time.

Bai Duoduo naturally noticed Hu Lai's hesitation, she smiled and stretched out her hand to gently pat Hu Lai's shoulder.

"Since when have you been so cautious, just tell me if you have anything, I won't die if I don't sleep for a few minutes."

One more sentence from Bai Duo eased the awkward atmosphere between the two of them a lot.

Hu Lai's tense body also relaxed slightly, and he nodded slightly before continuing.

"You cooperate with Bai Chang?"

This sentence was more of a test, the smile on Bai Duoduo's face froze for a moment, then pulled away again.

"It can't be called cooperation, it's just mutual use."

Although Bai Duoduo seems to have a good relationship with Bai Chang now, she has never forgotten what he did.

This man is a ticking time bomb.

But she needs him now.

Hu Lai was about to lose his temper, and when he spoke, his voice trembled slightly, which showed how painful it was to be suppressed.

"Is it because you want to snatch the child back? Actually, you can call me."

Hu Lai's hands on his knees tightened subconsciously, and he looked at Bai Duoduo's face for a moment, not wanting to ignore any expression on her face.

This is the question he wants to ask most.

Why would Bai Duoduo prefer to cooperate with someone like Bai Chang instead of him!
Bai Duoduo and Hu Lai have known each other since they were young, so his little tricks can't escape her eyes.

Bai Duoduo was afraid that Hu Lai might misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "I don't want to involve you again, Xiao Lai, this time it's difficult."

"Bai Duoduo, when did you get out of touch with me like this!"

Hu Lai finally couldn't hold back anymore, all the previous disguises were removed, he looked at Bai Duoduo eagerly, with a trace of blame that couldn't be concealed in his eyes.

Bai Duoduo sighed, and put her hand on the back of Hu Lai's, exerting a little force.

"Xiao Lai, I'm afraid I'm going to have a hard time with Mrs. Ruan about this matter. I really don't want to involve you anymore."

"You think there's nothing I can do?"

Hu Lai felt very sad, and he also hoped to be Bai Duoduo's backer all the time, but there were some problems in the foreign branch company, and he was entangled in lawsuits, and he couldn't take care of himself.

"Xiao Lai, I know you've always stood by my side, but I can't always rely on others. Although I'm seeking skin from a tiger with Bai Changshi, but look, I'm fine now, aren't I?"

As Bai Duoduo spoke, he withdrew his hand and tapped the cup that Hu Lai was holding.

"Try it, this is the lemon I soaked, you should like it, take that jar when you go back later."

After Bai Duoduo finished speaking, he stood up, went to the refrigerator and took out the jar of preserved lemons, and put them on the coffee table.

Hu Lai could tell that Bai Duoduo had cleverly avoided the topic just now, and since the lemon jars were all taken out, it was time for him to leave.

"Duo Duo, I will stay here for a week, and I don't know when I will come back next time, so even if you are very busy these days, how about staying with me?"

Hu Lai picked up the jar on the coffee table, stood up, and looked like he was about to leave.

Bai Duoduo nodded, suddenly thought of something.

"You didn't attend Xiao Le's wedding, do you want to have a meal with her?"

Although the three of them are all from the orphanage, Xiao Le came in later, and the relationship between Hu Lai and her can't be compared with that of Bai Duoduo.

"Well, I'll be the host tomorrow, and I happen to meet her husband." Although Hu Lai and Xiao Le are not as close as Bai Duoduo, they still have a close relationship with her. What about good people?"

Hu Lai has just emerged in this circle, so he is not very familiar with Di Jie, who has always been relatively low-key.

When Bai Duoduo thought of Di Jie, the smile on his face froze.

It's not that he's in poor health, it's simply very bad, his complexion is pale, as if he will faint in minutes.

"It's okay, you'll know when you meet tomorrow."

Bai Duo took a glance at the clock on the wall, it was almost one o'clock, she really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Then I'll pick you up at your company tomorrow."

Hu Lai talked to Bai Duoduo before going out, but when he was standing at the door, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently touched Bai Duoduo's cheek.

Bai Duoduo was originally sleepy and her eyes were squinted together, but Hu Lai's action made her fully awake.

"Xiao Lai?"

She subconsciously took a step back, frowned slightly and looked at Hu Lai.

Hu Lai didn't expect Bai Duoduo's reaction to be so great, he still hung his hand in the air in embarrassment, and then shook his pinched thumb and index finger.

Bai Duoduo looked over subconsciously, and realized that he had misunderstood Hu Lai when he saw a small vegetable leaf in his hand.

It should be that she accidentally stuck it to her hand when she just opened the refrigerator, and then touched her face.

"Xiao Lai...I..."

Bai Duoduo felt guilty when he thought of how alienated and defensive he was just now.

Especially when she saw Hu Lai's restrained indifference, she felt even more like a big rock was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't breathe well.

"You're still so confused. Look in the mirror before you go out next time. It's okay to be ashamed in front of me. Now you are the leader of a company. If you go out like this, you will be ashamed at grandma's house."

Hu Lai suppressed the soreness in his heart, and joked to relieve the awkward atmosphere that was about to condense.

Bai Duoduo couldn't hold back a chuckle, and still felt a little uncomfortable after laughing.

"Go back and be safe, see you tomorrow."

"Ok, see you tomorrow."

Hu Lai originally wanted to watch Bai Duoduo close the door before leaving, but he knew that doing so would easily cause Bai Duoduo to misunderstand again, so he could only turn around stiffly and walk towards the elevator step by step.

The moment the elevator door closed, the gentle smile on Hu Lai's face split instantly.

He chiseled hard on the elevator door with one hand.

Why did he and Bai Duoduo go farther and farther, and now they can't even make jokes like before.

He has never regretted it so much, why did he confess his love to this point.
