Chapter 2046 Male Friend?

Owen said this in Chinese.

Ever since he made up his mind to pursue Bai Tingxue, Owen has been practicing Chinese.

He hopes that one day they can communicate without using foreign languages, and he hopes that one day he can express his love to Bai Tingxue in her native language.

So, the first Chinese sentence he learned was "Xuexue, I love you." He repeated it hundreds of times, and now it finally came in handy.

Bai Tingxue was stunned for a long time before she realized what Owen had just said. Her face suddenly turned red, and she covered her mouth and couldn't say anything.

Owen seemed to sense her embarrassment, and he slightly curled his lips and changed the subject considerately: "I changed my name for you, shouldn't you change your name for me too? Don't call me Mr. Owen anymore, just call me Owen, okay?"

Owen's voice became a little more lazy because of fatigue, and it sounded more and more magnetic.

Bai Tingxue held the phone tightly, and it took her a long time to prepare herself mentally. She called out in a low voice: "Owen."

Owen's laughter came from the other end of the phone again: "Xuexue, I'm very happy. I've never been so happy as now."

Bai Tingxue's ears suddenly became hot, and she coughed lightly and said: "You should take a rest. You must be very tired from working overtime every day."

"Well, I'll go back and give you a New Year's gift after I'm done with this."

Bai Tingxue opened her mouth, but she didn't refuse in the end, and whispered: "Well."

After ending the call with Owen, Bai Tingxue turned her head and met her mother's inquiring eyes.

"Tingxue, who were you talking to on the phone just now? It took so long?"

Bai Tingxue looked at her mother and suddenly felt guilty: "Just... just a friend."

"Friend? Boyfriend?"

"Mom!" Bai Tingxue blushed and subconsciously retorted, "Just a male friend."

"Oh, is that so?" Bai's mother seemed to believe Bai Tingxue's words, but her expression clearly said: "It's really just a male friend, you are not lying to me, right?"

Bai Tingxue was embarrassed, but she didn't know how to explain to Bai's mother. After all, she and Owen are just ordinary friends now.

Fortunately, Bai's mother didn't dwell on this issue. Seeing that her daughter didn't want to say more, she changed the subject and told her true intention.

"Your father and I are going to the Ji family. Do you want to go with us?"

The Ji family and the Bai family are old friends. They visit each other at the beginning of each year to keep in touch.

This year is naturally the same, except that her daughter was rejected when she confessed to Ji Chengze last year, so her attitude towards him is not just a matter of circumstances.

In previous years, Bai Tingxue went with Bai's father and mother. This year, the two elders did not want to embarrass their daughter too much, so whether to go or not still depends on Bai Tingxue's own wishes.

Bai Tingxue pondered for a moment, and finally smiled reluctantly: "I am not feeling well, Mom, you and Dad go, I won't go."

Bai's mother was not surprised by this, and said with a sigh of relief: "Okay, then, you stay at home, we will go over there."

"Yeah."

Bai Tingxue looked at Bai's mother's back as she walked away, and unconsciously put her hand on her chest.

To this day, her heart still hurts when she hears or thinks of Ji Chengze, but the pain is not as great as when she was rejected at the beginning.

Perhaps time is really a panacea for healing pain. When the day comes when she will no longer feel pain for him, perhaps...
