AMRWFA -Chapter 218 So She Was Also the White Moonlight

As someone who was always eating gossip about others, Ruan Yaoyao never expected that one day the gossip would come back to bite her.

When she saw the “label” above her ex-boyfriend Bai Zhengqi’s head, she instinctively wanted to cover her eyes.

Because it read—“The Beloved You, and Her Who Was the White Moonlight.”

【Age-gap romance!】

【Sigh… they’re already so old, and they’re still doing an age-gap romance?】

【A man in his forties and a girl who’s just come of age—are they sure this isn’t a grandpa–granddaughter relationship?】

【Eye-burning!】

【Seriously eye-burning!】

Xu Nannan nearly spat out the coffee in her mouth.

Wait!

Mom, who are you talking about?!

Aren’t you and Uncle Bai about the same age—how did this suddenly become a “grandpa–granddaughter relationship”?!

At this moment, Bai Zhengqi was looking at Ruan Yaoyao with deep affection, just like back then—when he wore a school uniform, standing under the sunlight, gazing at her who stood in front of him with the same tender eyes.

Many years had passed. He had grown old, and she… too…

【Pah!】

【I’m not old!】

【I’m forever eighteen!】

Ruan Yaoyao glared angrily at Bai Zhengqi, completely unable to understand why he and his little girlfriend’s relationship had dragged her into it.

【Aahhh… so it’s not just being cast as the evil mother-in-law, I’ve even become the malicious white moonlight in someone else’s romance?!】

【How am I malicious?!】

【All I did was tell Bai Zhengqi a few words, telling him not to toy with a young girl’s feelings—and suddenly I became some scheming old woman trying to break them up?!】

【I…】

“Yaoyao, it’s been so many years. You’re still as beautiful as ever.”

Bai Zhengqi truly hadn’t expected this. Ruan Yaoyao, now in her forties, still maintained herself so well that when she sat next to her daughter, they didn’t look like mother and daughter at all.

To someone unaware, they might even think they were sisters.

Unlike the slightly immature Xu Nannan, Ruan Yaoyao had the charm of a mature woman—yet her clear eyes still carried a hint of youthful innocence. It was an irresistible combination.

Bai Zhengqi’s heart began to beat faster—thump, thump—just like it did all those years ago.

“You asked my daughter to bring me here just to say this?” Ruan Yaoyao said lazily.

She originally had no intention of rekindling anything with her ex-boyfriend. And now seeing him as the male lead in a “grandpa–granddaughter romance,” she had even less interest.

【This kind of old dried meat—how could it be as cute as young fresh guys?】

【I wonder how that girl even fell for him. Was she deceived?】

Flipping through the storyline involving Bai Zhengqi and that girl, Ruan Yaoyao couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.

【So she’s actually his adopted daughter? Tsk tsk tsk…】

【A little cutie raised by his own hands—no wonder he ended up falling for her. He really brought it on himself.】

Xu Nannan: Adopted… raised?!

Oh wow!

Didn’t expect that, Uncle Bai is actually quite modern!

But whether that little girl is sincere or not…

“You…” Bai Zhengqi said in a doting tone, smiling. “You’re still the same as before. So direct. Don’t you think you should save me some face in front of your daughter?”

Ruan Yaoyao rolled her eyes.

“Save you face? Why should I? You know I only tell the truth. What, you expect me to lie in front of my daughter? I don’t want to teach her bad habits.”

“How have you been these years?”

“I’ve been great. What’s not great about it? My husband died early, my son is filial, I have money to spend, I can do whatever I want—there’s nothing better than this.”

【Unlike you, who even going out has to report to a little girl, or she’ll throw a tantrum.】

【And you seem to enjoy it too! You like being surrounded by someone treating you like their whole world…】

“I’m sorry,” Bai Zhengqi said. “I’ve been abroad all this time. I didn’t know your husband passed away so early. If I had known, I would’ve come back long ago.”

Ruan Yaoyao looked puzzled.

“My husband dying early or not—what does that have to do with you? Don’t tell me you want to rekindle things with me. That won’t happen. I don’t eat leftover food. If I date, I’ll only date younger guys. Not you.”

Bai Zhengqi couldn’t help touching his face.

“Am I… old?”

This morning he had even dressed carefully and asked his little girlfriend how he looked. She had said he was handsome, charming—the most attractive mature man in the world.

So why, in Ruan Yaoyao’s eyes, had he become leftover “reheated food”?

“A man in his forties—how is that not old? You’re practically at the age of knowing your destiny!” she rolled her eyes.

Bai Zhengqi: “……I’m a few months younger than you.”

“And so what? Even if you’re a few months younger, you’re still in your forties. That’s old. I already have four grandchildren—I’m at grandma age. How can you not be old?”

“I’ve never been married,” Bai Zhengqi said seriously. “Since we broke up, I’ve never had another girlfriend.”

Xu Nannan: Is that true?

Didn’t my mom just say you’re in an age-gap romance?

【Yes yes yes, you didn’t have a girlfriend—but you had companions!】

Ruan Yaoyao quickly pulled up information on Bai Zhengqi’s so-called “companions” and even started counting.

【1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…】

【One per year—at least twenty over the years!】

【And this counts as no girlfriend?!】

Xu Nannan: Damn!

So as long as it’s just a “money relationship,” it doesn’t count as a girlfriend? Learned something new.

“You don’t seem to believe me,” Bai Zhengqi said.

“What about your companions?” Ruan Yaoyao asked bluntly. “Even if it was just once, it counts. So are you saying none at all? Don’t tell me you’ve been saving yourself for me. We’re all adults—no need to lie. I’ve given birth to children. I can understand these things.”

Bai Zhengqi immediately looked embarrassed.

He suddenly felt that Ruan Yaoyao was not as cute as she used to be. Back then she was direct too, but she still had some restraint. Now she could say anything.

And in front of her daughter too… she really…

Just as Bai Zhengqi was reorganizing his thoughts, a fashionable young girl suddenly rushed in behind him, carrying a Chanel bag.

She glared at him and swung her bag at him.

“Bai Zhengqi! What are you doing? Who is this woman?!”

Her finger pointed straight at Ruan Yaoyao.

Then, as if recognizing her, her pupils suddenly widened.

“It’s you?!”

Yes.

She recognized her.

In Bai Zhengqi’s desk drawer, there was a diary with a photo inside. She had seen it countless times.

The first love in his heart—the white moonlight.

“You came back to the country for her?!”

The girl’s eyes filled with disbelief, then tears welled up instantly as she looked at Bai Zhengqi.

“Bai Zhengqi, you lied to me! You’re a liar—I hate you!”

Then she stomped off in her high heels, running away.

“Tingting, listen to me!” Bai Zhengqi panicked immediately. After apologizing to Ruan Yaoyao and her daughter, he hurriedly chased after her.

“Mom… what’s the relationship between that girl and him?” Xu Nannan asked, eyes full of gossip.

Ruan Yaoyao also looked curious.

“Well, isn’t it obvious? His little girlfriend.”
