Apocalyptic Disasters: Carrying a bun and hoarding supplies - Chapter 682

Chapter 682: Not for Him (II)

Bai Jixuan closed his eyes and heaved a breath when he saw Bai Zhan walking out of the mansion. Just now, he was worried that his brother was going to lose his temper with Tong Huan. Fortunately, his brother was smarter and didn’t quarrel with a woman.

Tong Huan, on the other hand, didn’t think that Bai Zhan was just trying to avoid a quarrel with her. Instead, she believed that there was something that he was hiding. She turned and said to Bai Meiyue, “You saw that? Did you see that? Look at your brother’s attitude. Who will believe that he is not getting involved with that woman? If anything, I say that he has a ghost in his heart, and he is avoiding me because of that very reason.”

She paused and asked, “Yueyue, why don’t you send those women away? I am afraid that if they stay here, they will only cause more and more trouble.” Tong Huan didn’t care about how much suffering Xu Yiyi went through at that moment; in her eyes, that flirty woman was causing trouble between her and Bai Jixuan, and she wanted her gone.

Bai Meiyue was helpless. She had no idea what to do in this current situation. While Tong Huan was a bit naive and immature, her brother was not good with words. With the two of them like this, it was not surprising that there were all kinds of misunderstandings arising between them. Sighing, she softly said to Tong Huan, “I have already talked with Xu Yiyi; she will not do anything like doing the skin business for the time being. So you don’t need to worry.”

She walked away and then sat down on the chair before pulling the bowl of eel soup and noodles toward her. She didn’t like greasy food in the morning, but these days she just liked eating eel noodles and couldn’t stop herself. She took a small bite and continued, “And Xu Yiyi is not as fickle as you think. She will never go after married or engaged men. Unless she is paid really well, my brother will never do something like that.”

“You think that it’s that simple, but men are not a good thing, Yueyue!” Tong Huan was really insecure. She really liked Bai Zhan, but the man was really cold and stoic. He didn’t say anything good and was not good at comforting her. Thus, every time Bai Zhan got close to another woman, Tong Huan was worried that he was getting wrapped around the little finger of that woman. “If we don’t pay attention to them, then they will be taken away by them.”

Bai Meiyue didn’t say anything, nor did Bai Jixuan butt in on the conversation. Neither of the siblings had any idea what to say in this situation; they had never once thought that their big brother would suddenly become so popular all of a sudden. They knew that their brother was good-looking, but he wasn’t rich, and he didn’t have his way with words either. Only someone like Tong Huan, who was looking for a stable partner, would like him.

But now it was the end of the world, and Bai Zhan was no longer the same ordinary teacher. He was a powerful ability user, and he had a big base behind him. Of course, many women would flock to him. Xu Yiyi might not have had the intention, but there were several women who did have this intention. It was no longer like in the past, where women would only give him a glance and then walk away. Now, every time a woman saw Bai Zhan, she would stop and then try to chat with him.

Bai Zhan was not smart when it came to such things and would stop to chat as well, as he thought that these women were only talking with him. No wonder Tong Huan was so alarmed. Coupled with Xu Yiyi getting friendly with Bai Zhan, Tong Huan was getting more and more panicked. What was more, the situation outside was no longer as optimistic as before. Even if Bai Zhan married Tong Huan, he could still keep another woman by his side if he wanted to. There was no law anymore after all!

Tong Huan liked Bai Zhan, and this was her first time liking a guy. In her eyes, Bai Zhan was good in every way, even when he had two children. She couldn’t help but panic with other women flocking toward him day in and day out.

Bai Meiyue had to spend a long time comforting Tong Huan, and she asked her to trust in the character of her brother. There was no way Bai Zhan would do something foolish after getting involved with a character like his ex-wife. Once Tong Huan had calmed down, Bai Meiyue and Bai Jixuan walked out of the dining area. Bai Jixuan was covered in sweat, and he couldn’t help but mutter, “I wonder if my brother regrets getting in a relationship.”

Tong Huan was nice, but she was too needy, and his brother —well, he was not up for the task. Especially not with that mouth that was filled with nothing but ice.

Bai Meiyue also had the same feeling, even when she didn’t say it out loud. She wondered what her brother was thinking. If he liked Tong Huan, why was he not giving her the sense of security? Why allow such a mess to continue? It was because of this attitude of his that the Feng family succeeded in scheming against him and their family. If her brother had opened his mouth and fought back, then things would have been different.

She sighed and said, “Don’t think too much. Maybe Brother Zhan has his own thoughts.”

“What thoughts can he have? He needs someone who can read his mind. Not someone who wishes to stay close to him all the time but cannot understand him. Tong Huan is a good woman but she is not the one for my brother.” Bai Jixuan shook his head and walked away, wishing the drama to stop for even a day.
