"Does it...do I believe it...that important?"
She didn't want to get involved with him on this topic anymore. It was really unnecessary. Whether it was true or false, whether she believed him or not, she had no right to interfere in his private life, did she?
"Of course it's important! Answer me quickly."
Seeing Bai Xiaoruo's hesitant expression, Xian Mingyu seemed a little anxious.
He just wanted to know what he meant to Bai Xiaoruo. Did she really not care at all? Just how magnanimous was she?
"I have no idea......"
This was the only answer Bai Xiaoruo could give to Xuan Mingyu.
She didn't know... she really didn't know...
Her mind was in a mess; she really didn't know what would change whether she believed him or not.
"What?"
"I really don't know how to answer... Even if nothing really happened between you and them, it has nothing to do with me. After all, to you, I'm pretty much the same as those promiscuous women..."
Isn't this exactly how Hsien Ming-yu has always viewed her?
If he loved her, cherished her, and wanted to hold her in the palm of his hand, how could he have repeatedly humiliated her in those ways, trampling all her self-esteem underfoot?
She cried countless times and begged for mercy, but he always pretended not to see it, and her heart grew cold.
I don't know if she should continue to like a man like him...
"Bai Xiaoruo, is this how you always belittle yourself?"
"Isn't that right? Have you ever truly considered me your wife from the bottom of your heart?" Her nose became a little sore, and her eyes were red. She turned her face away, not wanting him to see her like this.
"If you had truly tried to understand me, to understand my life, you wouldn't always accuse me of things that aren't true... That night, I really didn't know that Ziqian would suddenly kiss me. I was completely unprepared. I had clearly rejected his advances. At that time, I knew I was home late, and my phone was dead. I was afraid you would call me, so I rushed back... Whether you believe me or not, what I said is true. I know I lied to you. It was wrong of me to go to Ziqian's birthday party, but... in my heart, you are truly more important than him, much more important."
She broke free from his hand, opened the door, and ran out into the cold wind.
I didn't expect any answer from him, but I finally got to say what was on my mind, and I felt a huge sense of relief.
After Bai Xiaoruo left, Xuan Mingyu pondered for a long time.
Could it be that he really misunderstood her?
***
Bai Xiaoruo carried the tray through the back door of the kitchen. The maid in the kitchen took the tray from her and placed it aside. "Young Madam, the room has been prepared for you. Let me show you up."
"Okay, sure."
Sure enough, once back in the warm house, the cold wind that had been blowing outside was instantly swept away.
The maid led Bai Xiaoruo all the way to the third floor, the top floor.
There weren't many rooms on the top floor, only five in total. The maid led Bai Xiaoruo to the second room.
"Young Madam, this is the place. If you have any requests, just press the bell inside, and we will hear you."
"Okay, thank you. You can go now. You've worked hard."
"Of course, young mistress." The maid turned and went downstairs.
During dinner tonight, my grandmother mentioned that the room she prepared for her was the children's room where Hsien Ming-yu lived when he was a child. However, the small children's bed inside was replaced with a soft, two-meter-wide bed several years ago.
Before Xuan Mingyu married Bai Xiaoruo, he would stay here every night whenever he had time to come here.
However, in recent years he has been busier with work and has acquired several houses of his own. In addition, since his commute to work is not convenient, he rarely stays here anymore. At most, he just eats dinner and leaves.
Bai Xiaoruo took a deep breath and reached out to turn the doorknob of the room in front of her—
She opened the door and was completely astonished by what she saw.
This children's room, apart from the bed being a bit too big, also has all the toys for little kids, including a rocking horse and toy cars.
She accidentally stepped on a small toy on the ground, which made a "squeak squeak squeak" sound, almost startling her.
The entire wall is covered with fun and cute cartoon murals, and there are star and moon chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The bookshelves are filled with all kinds of books, including literary, horror, and comic books.
Near the balcony, on the floor, there was a large, soft white wool blanket with many small toy cars on it.
The entire room's floor was covered with soft cartoon foam puzzle pieces, so you wouldn't feel any coldness under your feet; the whole room was extremely warm.
I never expected that Hsien Ming-yu would have such a childish side.
He's grown up so much, yet he still has all those childhood toys.
As Bai Xiaoruo approached the desk, she noticed a thick photo album and two photo frames on it.
Judging from the photos, one is a picture of him standing at the university gate with his grandparents during his university years. He was still very young then, and his smile was very shy. The other is a picture of him when he was a child, standing with a large group of children. With that arrogant look in his eyes, Bai Xiaoruo recognized him at a glance.
From childhood to now, apart from shedding his childishness and naivety and growing taller, he really hasn't changed much.
