Xuan Xingze pressed the call button in front of Bai Xiaoruo—

"Hey, bro."

[Is Bai Xiaoruo next to you?]

Xian Mingyu has been calling Bai Xiaoruo non-stop since yesterday, but her phone is always switched off, which makes him a little worried about her.

He had called Xian Shaodong earlier, but his father and the others had gone out to attend a party. He said that only Xian Xingze and Bai Xiaoruo were left at home. Since he couldn't find Bai Xiaoruo, Xian Mingyu had no choice but to call Xian Xingze instead.

"You mean little one?" Xuan Xingze deliberately dragged out the sound, glancing at Bai Xiaoruo sitting opposite him.

When she heard Xian Mingyu asking about her on the other end of the phone, Bai Xiaoru shook her head, signaling Xian Xingze not to tell him her location.

She doesn't want to talk to him at all right now, and she doesn't want to answer his calls.

Is she even there?

"Well... it's hard to say."

[Why is it hard to say? Did you bully her again?]

"Hey, who bullied her? Bro, don't make false accusations. Do you think I'm such a bad person?"

[Stop talking nonsense! Where is she?!] Knowing that Xuan Xingze was deliberately dodging the question, Xuan Mingyu didn't have the patience to listen to his endless rambling.

"You didn't even keep a good eye on your wife, and now you're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask... She's probably already run off with someone else!"

[What did you say? She's not home?]

“I never said the little one was home. I just saw a handsome guy drive her away in a luxury car, and he even packed her suitcase. Bro, it looks like your wife is going to belong to someone else.”

Before Xuan Mingyu could ask any further questions, Xuan Xingze immediately ended the call.

His face was full of smugness.

Interesting, interesting. It's been a long time since I've angered my older brother. Since Little Dot doesn't want him to know where she is, I have to stand on Little Dot's side too.

"Little one, do you believe it or not, my brother will definitely be in the US within half a day."

Bai Xiaoruo rolled her eyes at Xuan Xingze, annoyed. "I just asked you to tell him I wasn't with you, why did you say all that... Are you helping me or hurting me?"

What handsome guy drove her away in his nice car? I wish someone could take her away. She doesn't have an ID card or passport on her right now, where could she go?

If Xian Mingyu really comes over, he might take his anger out on her again, which would only deepen his misunderstanding of her.

"How could it be harming you? If my brother comes back, won't you two just keep showing off your love? Sigh, I'm so pitiful as a single dog."

"Who wants to flaunt their relationship with him! I don't want him to come back!"

What good will it do if he comes back? They'll just keep arguing. Bai Xiaoru is still angry about what happened yesterday.

"Really? What if he never comes back and goes off to flaunt his relationship with another woman?"

"He...that's his freedom, it has nothing to do with me! Hurry up and order the food, I'm starving." Bai Xiaoru didn't want to continue the topic of Xuan Mingyu; just mentioning him still made her furious.

"Alright, alright, to keep you from starving, I promise you'll eat your fill tonight."

Xuan Xingze flipped through the menu and called over the waiter to order.

***

Halfway through the meal, we suddenly heard a series of crashing sounds of things breaking not far away. Most of the customers in the restaurant turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Bai Xiaoruo also turned her head to look over.

A waitress was seen bowing repeatedly and apologizing, while the customer standing in front of her was soaked in water and looked rather disheveled.

The guest didn't mind, just waved her hand and told her in fluent English to clean up the broken glass first.

"Brother Ziqian?"

What a coincidence, Brother Ziqian is at this restaurant too?

"Xiao Ruo?" Hearing someone call his name, Ji Ziqian looked up and immediately saw Bai Xiao Ruo and Xian Xingze sitting by the window.

After she left last night, he thought about it for a long time and called her several times, but her phone was always off. Ji Ziqian thought that Bai Xiaoruo was really angry and ignoring him. He didn't expect to run into her here.

Ji Ziqian walked in their direction.

Standing before Bai Xiaoruo, a hint of guilt still lingered on his face as he recalled what had happened last night. "Xiaoruo, I..."

"Hey, who are you? Do you think I don't exist?" Xuan Xingze interrupted Ji Ziqian with a hostile look.

Oh dear, I really do have a jinx. I was just telling my brother on the phone that our little one was going to be taken away by a handsome guy in a luxury car, and now, a guy has actually appeared out of nowhere.

No, even though my brother isn't here, I have to be her protector and not let her be taken away by another man.

"Xiao Ruo, who is he?"

Ji Ziqian looked blankly at Xuan Xingze sitting opposite Bai Xiaoruo. He thought that since Xuan Mingyu was not by Bai Xiaoruo's side, he would have a chance. How come a new rival for love has appeared now?

"Who do you care who I am! What do you want to do to the little one?" Xuan Xingze stood up and pulled Bai Xiaoruo, who was sitting on the sofa, up to protect her behind him.

When it comes to fighting, he's unbeatable, and this guy in front of him is no match for him either.

"Hey, don't do this," Bai Xiaoruo pried open Xian Xingze's hand and walked from behind him to Ji Ziqian. "Brother Ziqian, he is Xian Mingyu's younger brother. No one is home tonight, so we're going out to eat."

"So that's how it is..." Ji Ziqian thought to himself. One older brother is gone, and now there's a younger brother. The Xian family is really troublesome one after another.

"Brother Ziqian, your clothes are all wet. Go to the bathroom and dry them off." Bai Xiaoruo grabbed two tissues from the table and was about to hand them to Ji Ziqian.
