Chapter 740 He Huaixu: I Want to Sleep with You Tonight
"..."
Bai Luoshuang stood frozen in place, staring at Ms. Xia Xun in astonishment.
Did the mother-in-law agree to their divorce?
"Cough cough cough..."
Pei Jinwu had just returned with fruit when she heard this and was so startled she almost fell over.
Mother.
Is this how you try to reconcile people?
Hearing the cough, Xia Xun instantly snapped back to reality.
"Mom means that this is definitely He Huaixu's fault. But after all, they are husband and wife, and there are no fundamental issues, so let's give him another chance."
"Mom, it's not Huaixu's fault."
Bai Luoshuang pursed her lips, her face pale, and said, "Our marriage was an accident."
"Mom knows."
Xia Xun held her hand, without any hint of blame, but rather with heartache: "You were also a victim of what happened back then."
"Tell your mother if you have feelings for Huaixu?" Xia Xun continued, "I don't know about marriage matters, and it's not appropriate for me to interfere."
"Give each other a chance. Mom doesn't want to see you regret it."
She certainly had feelings for He Huaixu.
That's why I was able to keep him by my side all this time.
He has the right to pursue love; she cannot be so selfish.
"Whatever decision you make, Mom won't blame you."
Xia Xun patted her hand and said gently, "I will always be your mother."
Mother?
Upon hearing those two words, Bai Luoshuang's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
If it weren't for Ms. Xia Xun, she would have almost forgotten what it feels like to have a mother.
Why did you suddenly start crying?
Xia Xun was quite frightened when he saw Bai Luoshuang shedding tears.
I was thinking, "I didn't yell at her, did I?"
at this time.
He Huaixu, who was always watching his wife, turned his head and saw Bai Luoshuang wiping her eyes.
He frowned, stood up, and strode into the back garden.
"What's wrong?" He Huaixu leaned down and asked, "Why are you crying?"
"I..." Xia Xun was at a loss for words, afraid of being misunderstood as a wicked mother-in-law who made things difficult for her daughter-in-law. "I didn't say anything!"
"fine."
Bai Luoshuang raised her head, her eyes moist, and said softly, "My mother-in-law is very good to me, which reminds me of my mother."
"Oh dear." Xia Xun breathed a sigh of relief and comforted her, "I thought it was nothing serious. Don't worry, just treat me like your own mother from now on."
"..."
He Huaixu pursed his thin lips, took a tissue and gently wiped her face, not forgetting to tease her: "I thought my mom had turned into a wicked mother-in-law and was trying to intimidate the new daughter-in-law."
"You brat, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xia Xun slapped him, suppressing a laugh. "Fine, you two chat, I'm going to check on your dad."
"Um."
He Huaixu nodded, sat down next to Bai Luoshuang, and looked at her face.
"..."
Upon meeting the other person's gaze, Bai Luoshuang subconsciously lowered her head.
He Huaixu frowned.
He noticed that when the two were alone, Bai Luoshuang always kept her head down and didn't like to look at him.
“Bai Luoshuang…” He Huaixu called her.
"Um?"
Bai Luoshuang looked up. She had just cried, her eyelashes were still wet, and her eyes looked as if they had been washed with water. A single glance from her could strike someone's heart.
He Huaixu's gaze deepened, and he asked in a low, husky voice, "Are you afraid of me?"
"No." Bai Luoshuang shook her head and silently looked away.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I dare not look.
The two are about to get divorced, and regardless of He Huaixu's motives, his attitude towards her has changed drastically.
She must stay alert at all times to ensure she doesn't get too deeply involved.
"..."
He Huaixu withdrew his gaze, looking into the distance, feeling a heavy weight in his heart.
She didn't dare look at him, but she chatted happily with Gu Jingnian.
"..."
Bai Luoshuang pursed her lips, wondering what she had done to offend him, and took the initiative to start a conversation: "Why don't you ask what my mother and I talked about?"
"What else can we talk about?"
He Huaixu looked up at her, a smile playing on his lips. "Ms. Xia Xun must have given me a real dressing down."
"How did you know?" Bai Luoshuang asked in surprise.
“In this family, we men have no status,” He Huaixu said slowly. “Regardless of who is right or wrong, just take the initiative to admit your mistake.”
Is that so?
Bai Luoshuang's eyes lit up, and she praised without reservation: "Dr. He, your family atmosphere is so wonderful."
Do you like it?
"like."
Bai Luoshuang answered without thinking. The atmosphere in the Bai family was very oppressive, while the atmosphere in the He family was very serious.
His family is different...
Everyone was so vibrant, even my mother-in-law was so interesting.
She really liked this feeling.
"I'll bring you again next time if I like it," He Huaixu said meaningfully.
next time?
They will return to Nanzhou in a few days, and after seeing their grandmother, they will discuss the divorce.
There are still 30 days left in the divorce cooling-off period, and they don't have much time left.
Will I ever have another chance to return to the capital?
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, it's raining."
Just then, Song Mingji, who was not far away, shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Let's go back."
He Huaixu bent down and picked up Bai Luoshuang. Just as they returned to the living room, it started to rain.
It was quite a surge, accompanied by lightning.
It got dark very quickly.
"It was sunny just a moment ago, how come it suddenly started thundering and raining?"
Song Mingji scratched his head and complained unhappily, "I even prepared an outdoor barbecue, and now it's all ruined."
"With such heavy rain, everyone should stay home today."
Xia Xun glanced out the window and said worriedly, "The villa is located on a mountain, and with thunder and rain, it's not safe to drive there."
“Those with partners can stay in one room, the third brother can stay in the study, and Black Fox and Qingli can stay in another room. There are enough rooms at home, so let’s stay here tonight.”
"OK."
Pei Jinwu was the first to speak up, raising an eyebrow: "Third Brother is having barbecue tonight, and I want to eat some."
"Safety is important."
Others chimed in, saying that staying one night was no big deal.
He Huaixu and Bai Luoshuang, however, remained silent.
If she and He Huaixu share a room, wouldn't they have to sleep in the same bed?
They've been married for three years and have never slept together.
"Why isn't Second Sister-in-law saying anything?" Pei Jinwu leaned forward and deliberately said, "You're not thinking of risking going back, are you? Third Brother's barbecue is delicious, have a taste."
"Um."
Bai Luoshuang remained silent, but He Huaixu answered first, "The rain is too heavy, and it would take too long to go back, which is indeed unsafe. Since Mom and Dad have asked, let's stay here for the night."
"..."
Bai Luoshuang blinked, met everyone's puzzled expressions, and finally nodded.
——
After eating barbecue.
It was already 10 p.m., and the rain was still pouring down.
The others returned to their rooms to wash up and rest.
Bai Luoshuang sat on the large bed, observing the cozy arrangement of the room.
Fresh and elegant, it suits her taste perfectly.
There's no sofa.
"Thud—"
The door to the room opened, and He Huaixu came in carrying a bag. "These are clothes and toiletries that the family prepared for you."
"Thank you." Bai Luoshuang took it and looked at He Huaixu. "How are you going to sleep tonight?"
Whether it was out of dislike or not, he never slept in the same bed with her.
"?"
He Huaixu lowered his eyes and stared at her, speaking in a low, husky voice: "There are no extra beds at home, and no sofa in the room."
The unspoken message: I want to sleep with you tonight.
——
There will be more updates.
