"good."

Bai Xiaoruo only had Ji Ziqian take her to the intersection and didn't go any further in.

She can go back alone; if she gets too close to the Xian family, they'll find out she's with Ji Ziqian.

"Xiao Ruo, I'll head back now. Be careful on your way."

"Okay, you be careful too."

Bai Xiaoruo opened the car door and got out, walking silently towards the Xuan family's house.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, Xuan Xingze rushed out and pulled her into the house.

"What are you doing? Have you seen a ghost?" Bai Xiaoruo was almost pulled down by him. What was he panicking about?

"Thank God! Little one, you're back."

"What's wrong?"

“My parents came back right away and asked where you had been. I just told them you were sleeping upstairs. My aunt almost went upstairs to check on you.”

If her elders found out that Bai Xiaoruo was still out so late, she would definitely get scolded.

"Then what?"

"Of course I couldn't let her come to your room. I had to beg and plead with her to stay."

Bai Xiaoruo breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, thank you. But I haven't settled the score with you for hitting Ziqian at the restaurant tonight!"

"Settle accounts? Settle accounts for what? Kid, please use your brain. Do you really think that guy is a good person? He's tried to take advantage of you and touch your hand so many times. Of course I can't let him get away with it!"

As Xuan Xingze spoke, he also got angry, "I think I didn't hit him hard enough. You have to beat someone like that to death!"

"Are you still not done yet? What are you hitting me for! If you've got the guts, come at me next time!"

Looking at the small figure in front of him, Xuan Xingze swallowed hard and said in a cowardly tone, "I would never hit a girl. Besides, if I really hit you, my brother would never forgive me... He'd put a knife to my throat."
