Xuan Mingyu was taken aback.
He didn't expect Bai Xiaoruo to say that suddenly.
[Because of what you said, I've decided to stay in the US a few more days before going back.]
"ah?"
Bai Xiaoruo suddenly felt worried. She should have known better than to say she missed him. Could it be that Xian Mingyu really wouldn't be back for several days? Was it because he didn't want to see her?
"Then, can I take it back? I don't miss you anymore. Can you come back soon?"
Upon hearing Bai Xiaoruo say that she wanted to take back her original words and stop thinking about him, Xian Mingyu refused to accept it. This little girl changed her mind too quickly. Of course she had to look forward to him every day and every moment. If she didn't want to think about him, who else would she want to think about?
[Who gave you permission to take it back? You're not allowed to think about it with anyone but me, do you hear me?]
"Huh? Oh..." Bai Xiaoruo didn't understand what Xuan Mingyu meant at first, but after thinking about it carefully, her confusion turned into satisfaction.
He's only allowed to think about him... How petty of him!
[I'll get back as soon as possible. You just go to sleep and eat as usual, don't worry about him.]
Originally, Xuan Mingyu didn't want Bai Xiaoruo and Xuan Xingze to be alone. He knew his younger brother's temperament too well. He was stubborn and full of tricks. Over the years, not only were his teachers and professors often driven to the point of being furious with him, but anyone he held a grudge against could not escape being played a prank on by him.
Isn't a simpleton like Bai Xiaoruo exactly the kind of person Xuan Xingze loves to bully? After all, she's his wife in name only, and bad rumors about her won't do him any good. So, of course, Xuan Mingyu is on Bai Xiaoruo's side.
"Okay, I understand."
***
After finishing her call with Xian Mingyu, Bai Xiaoruo returned to her room and found that Xian Xingze was also on the phone, looking all cocky and lounging with his legs crossed.
"Brother, I really don't know what kind of taste you have. Take Su Yu from six years ago, for example... Okay, I know what to do." Xuan Xingze was still on the phone with Xuan Mingyu when he noticed Bai Xiaoruo coming in. Xuan Xingze immediately thought of a funny prank, so he quickly hung up the phone and scolded Bai Xiaoruo to come and clear the dishes.
Bai Xiaoruo vaguely heard a little bit of what he was saying on the phone, but she didn't know who he was talking about, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
"Hey! You at the door, hurry up and come over here and take the bowls away."
Ever since she found out he was Xuan Mingyu's younger brother, Bai Xiaoruo was no longer timid as before. She mustered her courage and angrily walked up to Xuan Xingze, "What do you mean 'at the door'? I have a name! Besides, I'm your sister-in-law, you have to respect me!"
"Sister-in-law? Oh my, don't you even go to the bathroom and look in the mirror to see your own behavior? You really know how to flatter yourself."
Xuan Xingze suddenly stood up from his chair, and Bai Xiaoruo's previous righteous indignation immediately weakened by half.
"What, what are you going to do?"
He approached her step by step, while Bai Xiaoruo could only retreat step by step.
When she finally retreated to the back of the sofa, Bai Xiaoruo realized that she had nowhere left to go.
Meanwhile, Xuanxingze continued to approach, and the distance between the two gradually shortened.
"What do you want me to do to you?"
He propped himself up on the sofa with both hands, leaned down, and stared at Bai Xiaoruo in front of him.
"You, you, you, don't do anything reckless! I, I'm your sister-in-law! If you dare to do anything to me, when your brother comes back, I, I'll tell him! Then you'll be dead!" Bai Xiaoru was so nervous that she couldn't speak properly. She turned her face away and placed her hands on Xuan Xingze's chest, resisting his approach.
Oh no, oh no, how could things have turned out like this?
I should have just listened to Xian Mingyu and stayed far away from him. That guy is really a lunatic!
"You still want to threaten me with my brother? Go ahead and call him back. It's just the two of us here now. Even if I did something to you, he can only settle scores later. By then, it'll be too late. Guess who my brother would prefer, me or you?" He smirked, his fingers lightly tracing Bai Xiaoruo's face, making her glasses suddenly seem extremely irritating.
"Impossible! Don't do anything rash, I, I won't give in to you!" Bai Xiaoruo closed her eyes tightly, not daring to look, silently praying in her heart: Please, where is my savior? Someone please come and save me.
Xuan Xingze directly removed Bai Xiaoruo's glasses. Feeling uncomfortable with her face looking empty, Bai Xiaoruo suddenly opened her eyes and met Xuan Xingze's gaze.
Their eyes met, so close that they could see everything so clearly.
Looking at the fair and tender face in front of him, with her round and dark eyes, Xuan Xingze suddenly realized that she wasn't so ugly after all. Even without makeup, her skin was still fair and rosy without any flaws. It seemed that he had really found a good match.
I thought Xian Mingyu was blind to marry a country bumpkin like Bai Xiaoruo, but I never expected that she would have such a pure and innocent look behind those thick-rimmed black glasses.
"Take off your reading glasses, you're not bad looking at all. It's such a waste of you to be with my brother, with that icy face. Besides, there's such a big age gap between you two, it's like an old cow eating young grass. Why don't you come with me, I'll take you out to eat and drink well every day, how about it?" He gently pinched her delicate chin and moved closer to her again.
Bai Xiaoruo was truly terrified by Xuan Xingze's repeated provocative words. She used all her strength to quickly push Xuan Xingze away and ran to the door. "Don't dream about it! I'm, I'm your sister-in-law! I won't give in to you. Do whatever you want with me, but I will never betray your brother!"
