"You have no idea, she cries as soon as I mention going to school. I'm too lazy to waste my breath on her. Just find out as much as you can. Company matters are important, and you don't need to report all the trivial things to me in such detail." Just thinking about Bai Xiaoruo's tearful appearance gave Xuan Mingyu a headache. She wasn't an important person to him, so he would never comfort her. At most, he would just go along with her.

Whether she was dressed or naked, he couldn't be bothered to look.
Bai Xiaoruo, huddled in the blankets, puffed out her cheeks angrily. "Little brat, little brat! Why does he always call me little? I'm clearly an adult, but in his eyes I'm nothing at all."
