Chapter 421: Breakfast
Seeing the 【Yaoguang】 flying sword in Bai Li Pangpang’s hand, the expressions of several guards changed slightly. After exchanging glances, they silently pressed the buttons in their hands.
Creak—!
A low, deep humming sound echoed as the heavy black steel door slowly opened, revealing a smooth path covered in ginkgo leaves in front of Bai Li Pangpang.
Bai Li Pangpang waved his hand to disperse the 【Yaoguang】 flying sword, his expression unreadable as he calmly walked toward the luxurious villa in the distance.
Once Bai Li Pangpang left, one guard quickly ran to the security booth, took out a walkie-talkie, and lowered his voice to say:
“Young Master is back! He really is back!”
On both sides of the ginkgo avenue, the servants who were focused on cleaning the road looked up at the familiar figure, their eyes filled with surprise, but they still bowed and respectfully greeted him:
“Good morning, Young Master.”
Bai Li Pangpang ignored them and walked straight ahead.
He didn’t care what others were thinking; he was too tired.
He just wanted to return to his own home, find his father and mother, and tell them everything he had experienced along the way… He believed that with his father’s wisdom, he would surely help him find the person who was secretly plotting against him and restore his justice!
Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he arrived at the villa’s entrance. He looked at the familiar door in front of him, slowly extended his hand, and pressed the doorbell beside it.
Ding-dong—!
The crisp sound of the doorbell rang out.
Moments later, the door opened, revealing a young man dressed in a white shirt, wearing a dark green tie and gold-rimmed glasses, standing quietly behind the door. Upon seeing Bai Li Pangpang, he was momentarily taken aback, then his brows furrowed slightly.
“Bai Li Tuming…” he said, somewhat surprised, “What are you doing here?”
Bai Li Pangpang was also taken aback, then he stared at the young man with a furrowed brow, a hint of anger flickering in his eyes as he spoke slowly, “Bai Li Jing… Why are you in my house?”
Bai Li Jing raised an eyebrow and said with a hint of amusement, “What? Is there a problem with me being at my adoptive father’s house?”
Bai Li Pangpang fixed his gaze on his eyes, remaining silent for a long time before coldly asking, “So, does my experience along the way have anything to do with you?”
Hearing this, Bai Li Jing scrutinized Bai Li Pangpang for a moment, then smiled, “It seems you’ve learned a few skills during your time with the Night Watchers. I didn’t expect they wouldn’t be able to kill you; that’s a bit surprising…”
“You bastard!”
Bai Li Pangpang felt an unprecedented surge of anger rise within him. He clenched his fists tightly and swung out!
Just as his fist was about to strike Bai Li Jing’s face, a low and familiar voice came from inside the house.
“Who is it?”
Hearing this voice, Bai Li Pangpang instinctively retracted his fist, the rushing wind from his punch brushing past Bai Li Jing’s cheek, barely missing his nose.
Bai Li Jing’s expression darkened as he looked at Bai Li Pangpang, his eyes narrowing into a dangerous arc.
“Bai Li Tuming, you’d better understand where this is and what day it is today.”
He sneered, turned around, and instantly broke into a warm and refined smile, “Dad, Tuming is back!”
Bai Li Pangpang was slightly taken aback, and in the next moment, he quickly withdrew his fist and hid his hands behind his back.
Behind the door, a middle-aged man with graying hair walked to the center of the porch. Upon seeing Bai Li Pangpang, his stern expression softened slightly as he calmly nodded.
“Tuming is back? Let’s have breakfast together.”
Seeing this familiar figure, Bai Li Pangpang’s eyes grew slightly moist, and the feelings of bitterness and grievance that he had suppressed with reason surged to the surface, causing his lips to tremble uncontrollably.
He felt like a child who had been bullied outside, finally finding someone to confide in.
He opened his mouth to say something, but Bai Li Xin had already turned and walked into the house.
“Xiao Qing, make another breakfast for Tuming.”
The middle-aged man with graying hair entered the kitchen and spoke to a gentle and virtuous woman.
Bai Li Pangpang stood there for a moment, silently closing his mouth. His gaze fell on the seemingly refined Bai Li Jing, and his expression gradually turned cold.
“You wait for me; this matter won’t just end like this…”
He walked into the house, brushing past Bai Li Jing, who watched his departing figure, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Bai Li Pangpang entered the spacious and bright living room, where he saw several empty plates quietly placed on a white jade-like dining table. A maid was collecting all the plates, carefully wiping the table with a towel.
Moments later, a woman with a gentle demeanor came out of the kitchen, holding a plate of breakfast and smiling.
“Tuming, you’ve been out for so long; you finally thought of coming home?” She placed the breakfast on the dining table and said with a hint of melancholy, “I thought you wouldn’t come back today for your dad’s birthday.”
“Mom, I’ve wanted to come back for a long time, but…”
Bai Li Pangpang paused for a moment, glancing at Bai Li Jing beside him, and continued, “But there was a bit of an accident on the way.”
“You child… Never mind, hurry up and eat breakfast. After breakfast, we need to head to the birthday banquet.” The woman shook her head helplessly.
Bai Li Pangpang sat down at the dining table, picked up the chopsticks beside him, and began to eat breakfast.
The incident of being ambushed on the road wouldn’t just end like this, but now wasn’t the time to confront Bai Li Jing… at least not here.
Although he felt wronged, he didn’t want to provoke a dirty and foul family dispute on his father’s birthday in their home. After all, once he and Bai Li Jing fell out, it would never end well; one of them would definitely leave the Bai family for good…
He didn’t want to ruin his father’s birthday.
Since he had safely returned to the Bai family, what difference would it make to wait another day?
Bai Li Pangpang finished all the breakfast on his plate, even licking the crumbs clean, then stood up from the dining table and smiled, “Mom, I’m done! Your cooking is truly amazing!”
The gentle woman chuckled as she took his plate away, “You’re just sweet-talking!”
“Is everything ready for today’s birthday celebration?” Bai Li Xin, dressed in an expensive and formal outfit, walked into the living room and asked.
Bai Li Pangpang was about to speak when Bai Li Jing spoke up first, “Everything is ready, Dad.”
Bai Li Xin nodded, looking Bai Li Pangpang up and down with a slight frown, “The birthday banquet is about to start; why are you still dressed like this? Hurry and go change into something else, then we need to take the car to the venue.”
Bai Li Pangpang responded with an “mm,” reaching into his pocket to take out the sandalwood peace charm he had prepared as a birthday gift, but after thinking it over, he decided it wasn’t the right time and put it back.
