On the day Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu held their wedding, she had only just celebrated her 18th birthday a few days prior. Her husband was a full 8 years older than her.
In the eyes of outsi...
"Okay, I got it. I'll take her there when I have time."
As Hsien Ming-yu was driving home, waiting at a traffic light, Fang Pei-ru called.
He had just put on the Bluetooth headset and hadn't even had a chance to speak when Fang Peiru rattled off a whole bunch of things.
I repeatedly told him to take Bai Xiaoruo to the United States in a few days.
They hadn't seen the little girl for a while and missed her terribly.
Moreover, she is currently pregnant and has experienced bleeding again, which is quite serious. They are very worried about her health and want Xian Mingyu to bring her over so that they can take good care of her and let her stay for a long time, preferably until she gives birth and recovers from childbirth before returning home.
The medical technology in Country M is far more advanced than that in City L, so it will definitely ensure that Bai Xiaoruo and the baby are both healthy.
[When will you finally have time? By the time you do, my grandson will be born! How about tomorrow? I'll send someone to pick up Xiaoruo. It's fine if you don't come; you're secondary anyway. Just focus on your work. We'll take care of Xiaoruo. You haven't gained much weight despite taking care of her for so long.]
Hsien Mingyu was speechless.
Is he really his biological son?
Is Bai Xiaoruo now more precious than him?
Fang Peiru used to hope that Xian Mingyu would stay in the United States, but now she likes Bai Xiaoruo more.
To be honest, Xuan Mingyu didn't want Bai Xiaoruo to live in the US for a long time, not even to have her postpartum confinement there.
A few days were fine, but after not seeing her for several months in a row, he felt empty inside.
Although our relationship is very tense right now, we've been giving each other the cold shoulder for several days.
At least he can see her every day when he gets home. If she goes to live in the US, not only will the round trip by plane be too troublesome, but also because of his work, he won't be able to spend a lot of time with her.
Not good at all.
"Mom, let's wait a little longer. She hasn't been in a good mood these past few days. I'll take her over in a while."
[Feeling down? What's wrong? Did you upset her?]
"No."
If he knew why she was in a bad mood, he wouldn't have been giving her the cold shoulder until now, and they've been sleeping in separate rooms for several days.
Lying without her beside me feels like something's missing; I feel uncomfortable all over. Hugging a pillow or a blanket isn't as comfortable as holding her.
He couldn't bring himself to flatter her and call her back to sleep.
No matter how nicely you speak to her, it's useless; she won't pay any attention to you.
Sometimes, Xuan Mingyu wondered if the person beside him was still the same Bai Xiaoruo from before. How could she suddenly seem like a completely different person?
[She's a little girl, it's normal for her to have a bit of a temper. Just try to comfort her.]
"If coaxing her worked, I wouldn't be so annoyed all the time. Okay, Mom, I'll stop here for now. Anyway, I'll take her there when I have time."
As long as he can manage it.
I'm afraid Bai Xiaoruo won't go.
Xuan Mingyu unplugged the Bluetooth cable. The light had turned green and the car was ready to go, so he slowly started the engine.
As they approached another traffic light, Xuan Mingyu immediately noticed Bai Xiaoruo standing by the intersection.
Because her outfit today was particularly outstanding, it was hard not to see her.
It's almost dinner time, why is she still wandering the streets?
With her big pregnant belly, carrying bags in both hands, and still on the phone, didn't Uncle Bi come out with her?
Xian Mingyu pulled the car over to the side of the road, wanting to see where she would go next.
"Sister Qingyan, I've arrived. Where are you?"
[Sorry, Xiaoruo, I left my things at the store. I just got them. Can you cross over to this side of the traffic light? I'll wait for you at the restaurant across the street.]
"Okay."
Bai Xiaoruo hung up the call, put the phone in her bag, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to wait for the green light before moving forward.
Bai Xiaoruo and Mu Qingyan had arranged to have dinner together tonight. She was originally out shopping, but Mu Qingyan called to invite her, so she decided not to go back. The restaurant wasn't far away, and she could just walk there.
The green light came on on the other side of the zebra crossing, and Bai Xiaoruo walked across directly.
At the same time, a car speeding across the street was heading straight for Bai Xiaoruo without slowing down at all; it was deliberately trying to crash into her.
She had already walked to the middle of the zebra crossing when she saw the car rushing towards her. She was so frightened that her legs went weak and she couldn't move an inch.
Seeing this, Xian Mingyu immediately unbuckled his seatbelt and opened the car door to push Bai Xiaoruo away from the zebra crossing. The next second, in that terrifying instant when the car was about to hit Bai Xiaoruo—
A man suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed the already stunned Bai Xiaoruo, and pulled her aside.
The car was less than five centimeters away from them, almost brushing past them.
"Damn it! How can that bitch be so lucky!" Lu Xinyao stamped her foot in frustration and made a phone call. "Let's get out of here quickly, before anyone finds out."
Although she didn't manage to bump into her, Lu Xinyao unexpectedly received a big surprise.
She still couldn't quite believe the photo Lao Zhao sent her last time. She never expected that this bitch would actually have an improper relationship with the eldest son of the Guang Group.
She was just worried about not being able to find evidence against Bai Xiaoruo, and now it's delivered right to her doorstep.
Lu Xinyao took several photos with her phone of the two people hugging each other on the zebra crossing not far away.
This is going to be quite a show.
Just you wait and see! I refuse to believe you can be this lucky every time!
Today God spared your life, but next time, things might not be so simple!
