After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 22 Confirmation

"You can choose not to be a good person, but you can't be a pervert," Lin's father quietly advised Lin Xingzhu just before leaving, taking advantage of Bai Xiying's momentary distraction.

Lin Xingzhu: "?"

Lin's father coughed lightly. "I see that Xiaoying really likes you."

Without hesitation, Lin Xingzhu smiled and replied, "So she is my girlfriend."

But what does that have to do with being a good person?

Lin's father shot her a glare. "I'm not saying you should take pride in that. We're decent people; don't learn those twisted tricks from others and do something perverted."

After the recent incident with the Qiao family, Lin's father had heard about Qiao Zijing's preferences and was utterly shocked.

Today's brief interaction had greatly increased Lin's father's fondness for Bai Xiying. He liked her a lot, especially since she was genuinely good to his daughter.

Lin's father genuinely hoped Lin Xingzhu would continue to act in such a stable manner, but out of concern and a hint of guilt, he couldn't help but offer a quiet reminder.

Lin Xingzhu suppressed her thoughts and replied, "Dad, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Satisfied, Lin's father nodded and urged, "Hurry up, don't keep Xiaoying waiting."

Once in the car, Lin Xingzhu buckled her seatbelt and, glancing at Bai Xiying who had played along for most of the day, admired, "I didn't expect your acting skills to be so good."

Not only had her dad not noticed anything off, he had genuinely treated Bai Xiying as a future daughter-in-law.

Bai Xiying recalled Lin's father's attitude towards her as they were leaving and shyly touched her smooth nose, "... He is quite approachable."

Lin Xingzhu responded, "In any case, we passed this test today."

She sighed in relief, not mentioning her father's earlier warning.

It was all fake, so what was there to talk about for the future?

Bai Xiying also let out a soft sigh.

Acting had long been second nature to her, but when the person she was acting with had such good intentions, it made her feel somewhat uneasy.

Leaving the Lin family, her tense nerves could finally relax a bit.

Monday morning.

While Bai Xiying was delivering a report to the office, Mu Muqing called her over.

Bai Xiying turned back, puzzled.

Mu Muqing hesitated for a moment, then waved her off, allowing her to leave.

Bai Xiying obediently closed the door and went back to her workstation.

Just as she settled in, a colleague's voice chimed in, "Xiying, are you planning to sign up for the ASHY design competition?"
