AMRWFA -Chapter 276 Why Are You Keeping a Toy Boy?

By the time Ruan Yaoyao arrived, Bai Zhengqi had already sobered up and was lowering his head, coaxing someone.

Tingting was crying her eyes out, questioning whether Bai Zhengqi even had a heart. She was young and beautiful—how could she possibly be worse than that old woman?

Ruan Yaoyao: “…”

【If you want to scold him, just scold him. Why drag me into it?】

Yu Xiangqiao: Exactly!

How is my mom old?

She even looks younger than me!

Looking at Ruan Yaoyao’s increasingly youthful face after cultivation, Yu Xiangqiao felt a surge of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

That face—absolutely stunning!

If she just stood out there, who would believe she was a grandmother?

People might even think she was some newly married “stepmom.”

“Why are you here?” Bai Zhengqi looked up, surprised to see Ruan Yaoyao.

Ruan Yaoyao pointed at the woman beside him. “Well, your girlfriend called me over.”

Hearing her voice, Tingting looked up. Her tear-streaked face immediately turned to shock. “Why do you look even younger again? What kind of injections did you get? They’re amazing!”

She almost forgot Ruan Yaoyao was her romantic rival and instead wanted to ask for beauty tips.

A woman in her forties or fifties looking younger than her?

My god!

How is that even fair?!

Last time she saw her, she wasn’t this beautiful.

Ruan Yaoyao blinked innocently. “Don’t you know? Staying away from men is the secret to staying young.”

Whether it was because Ruan Yaoyao sounded too serious or Tingting was too gullible, she actually started considering it seriously. “Really? Just staying away from men can keep you young?”

Bai Zhengqi immediately cut in, like a wolf protecting its territory. “Don’t listen to her nonsense. She’s keeping a toy boy herself!”

Tingting suddenly remembered—wasn’t that why Bai Zhengqi got so drunk yesterday? Because he found out his “white moonlight” wasn’t as pure as he thought—she even kept a younger man?

“You’re lying! Zhengqi said you’re keeping a toy boy… How shameless! At your age, still going after men so much younger than you—have some decency!” Tingting snapped, feeling like she had almost been fooled.

This woman… could she be trying to rekindle old feelings?

She instantly grew wary.

Yu Xiangqiao perked up her ears.

What?

My mom has a toy boy?

Really?!

That’s great news! If my husband finds out his mom found new love, he’ll be thrilled!

“What toy boy?” Ruan Yaoyao had no idea what they were talking about.

Tingting pinched Bai Zhengqi. “Answer the question—what toy boy?”

Bai Zhengqi hissed in pain, complaining she used too much force.

Tingting quickly apologized. “I didn’t mean to… sorry…”

Feeling somewhat comforted, Bai Zhengqi turned to Ruan Yaoyao. “That guy with the surname Xie—did you forget? The one you brought with you yesterday. He even declared his claim over you. I don’t know what you’re thinking—at your age, finding someone that young…”

【Oh, so they mean Xie Xiuming.】

【He only said that to help me out anyway—because you kept butting in.】

【A good ex should act like they’re dead. Who’s like you, wanting everything at once?】

Ruan Yaoyao looked at him with disdain. “I’m still better than you. Xie Xiuming is at least a mature man in his thirties. Unlike the one you’ve got—has she even come of age? If she hasn’t, that’s illegal.”

Yu Xiangqiao deflated: Oh, so it’s Xie Xiuming… I thought it was someone else.

“I’m an adult! I turned eighteen ages ago!” Tingting protested immediately.

“Oh, so you just turned eighteen. That’s pitiful—already tricked by an old man like him,” Ruan Yaoyao said sympathetically. “My youngest son is older than you. Dating someone old enough to be your father—are you sure you’re not brainwashed?”

“Who’s brainwashed?! We’re true love—true love! Do you understand? You old woman, you just got to him earlier. Otherwise, he would never have looked at you!”

Ruan Yaoyao smirked. “If you know he doesn’t care about me, why call me here? To show off your love? He already said I have a toy boy—why would I want him?”

She looked Bai Zhengqi up and down, clicking her tongue. “Honestly, at his age, I wonder if he even has the strength left in bed.”

Bai Zhengqi quickly covered Tingting’s ears, grinding his teeth. “Ruan Yaoyao, that’s enough! Don’t corrupt a child!”

Ruan Yaoyao rolled her eyes. “A child? A woman about to be coaxed into bed, and you’re telling me not to corrupt her? Who’s corrupting her—you or me? Don’t slander people. Girls in their twenties are still in college, crying for their moms over small bumps. But yours? Just turned eighteen and already chasing after an ‘uncle,’ declaring ownership everywhere, afraid someone will steal her precious treasure… He’s already been chewed over by who knows how many women. I’m not interested in leftovers.”

Bai Zhengqi snapped, “Who are you calling leftovers? Ruan Yaoyao, don’t go too far!”

“Too far? Weren’t you the ones who brought this on yourselves?” she shot back. “I told you ages ago—I’m not interested in you. That was years ago. Stop reheating old leftovers. Even if you want to, at least check if I’m interested. But what do you do? You keep playing the devoted lover in front of your young girlfriend and dragging me into your story. Why? What am I to you—a prop you use whenever needed? If you want props, why not use all those women you keep? Those ‘Jinhua,’ ‘Yinhua,’ ‘Cuihua’ types? Why drag me into this? Aren’t all your flowers enough? Move them one by one and let them crush her!”

Tingting pulled Bai Zhengqi’s hand away, catching the word “flowers.” “What flowers?”

“Nothing. Don’t listen to her nonsense,” Bai Zhengqi said quickly.

But Ruan Yaoyao wasn’t about to cover for him. “The women he keeps. Ever since he broke up with me, he’s had several every year—pure college girls, career women, girl-next-door types… you name it. Girls like you? At least eight have passed through his hands.”

Tingting was stunned. “Impossible! Uncle isn’t like that! He’s someone who’s been hurt before—he wouldn’t do such things. Your photos, your love letters, the hairpin you gave him—he keeps them all carefully in a safe. If I hadn’t found them by accident, I wouldn’t even know how deeply he hid them…”

But as she looked at Bai Zhengqi, doubt crept into her eyes despite her words.

After all, those “flowers”… she had seen them before.

At the time, she didn’t think much of it, assuming they were just employees at his company.

She even muttered to herself that his female employees looked too flirtatious, keeping a close watch on them.

Later, they disappeared, and she thought he had fired them.

Now, thinking back… maybe they weren’t employees at all.

Maybe they just got out of his car after they were done.
