Chapter 27 – The Imposing Bai Shuli

zLizard: My old source went offline, and the new one has a different chapter splitting . But I still will try to keep the same chapter numeration .

Bai Shuli had a great posture, moreover, he was quite handsome and had proper etiquette . Thus, as soon as he arrived at the scene of the parent-teacher conference, he immediately won the attention of the crowd . And as Chengcheng’s parents, they were naturally taken as a couple .
“I had never thought that your husband was so handsome . ” The mother of a classmate praised her .
Tang Xianlian was embarrassed and immediately wanted to deny it . “We…”
“I’m flattered . My wife says that you take good care of our son . ” Bai Shuli put ab arm around Tang Xianlian’s shoulders quite naturally, and cut him in the conversation with a polite and handsome smile .
Tang Xianlian widened her eyes, not expecting Bai Shuli to interrupt her . Moreover, he mistakenly made the two of them husband and wife . Naturally, she couldn’t argue on the spot, so she held her angry for the time being . But when no one was looking at them, she lowered her voice and protested to him .
“What are you doing? Why do you want people to get the wrong idea?”
“Do you want to tell people about your family’s privacy and arouse their curiosity? Just to have them talk behind our backs that Chengcheng has a complicated family background?
“This……”
“It’s hard to explain, isn’t it? Until now, the teachers, classmates, and parents didn’t know about Chengcheng’s family situation . As today we had appeared together, it was quite normal for them to treat us as husband and wife . If you just had denied it, instead of solving their misunderstanding, it would only make them pry into our privacy . Do you want those classmates and teachers gossip our son behind our backs from now on?”


“Of course I don’t want that . ” She had had enough of this hardship of being talked about and getting odd looks . Of course, it goes without saying that she didn’t want that to happen to Chengcheng . Especially since a circle of friends was important for child development . Thus she wanted him to be seen as a child growing up in a normal family .
“Right, so we’ll just attend as his family and not say anything else . Moreover, aren’t we Chengcheng’s parents, right?”
“Words are nice, but……”

“Since you got someone to pretend to be your husband . It shouldn’t be too hard for you to play husband and wife with me now, should it?”
Tang Xianlian was shocked, then she looked at him . Though she didn’t saw any display of emotion, she senses the displeasure in his tone . That made her felt guilty and greatly embarrassed .


How did he know about this? Right, he must have learned that from his son .
Tang Xianlian began to avoid his gaze . That made her felt embarrassed, but then that turns into anger . That was her own business, of with he had no part of it . Why should she fell embarrassed her life because of him, she didn’t owe him anything!
Since she couldn’t argue, she keeps her mouth shut and pretend to be married to him and exchange pleasantries with other parents . But what did pretending to be a couple had to do with him putting his arm around her shoulders or waist? Unfortunately, she couldn’t do much to refuse it as it would ruin all her effort .
It was with great difficulty that Tang Xianlin made through to the end of the class parenting meeting . Her smiling face was all but gone .
She thought that once they had got out of the parent-teacher conference they would stop the enaction of husband and wife . Instead, he firmly held her hand and even interlocked fingers with her .
“Let’s go, let’s go pick up our son . ”


“Hey, let go of me!” She whispered a warning, tried to get her hand free . But his grip was too firm that he didn’t give her a chance to break free .
“Please, pretend a little longer . They are still watching us . The show isn’t over yet . You want to embarrass our son?”
“Well……” She couldn’t argue, frowning and staring at him .
That sight of her improved Bai Shuli’s mood . So that he reached out and tapped the tip of her nose .
“No frowning is allowed . I’m in charge . Do as I say . ”
