Recalling those painful experiences in the Bai family, Bai Xiaoruo still feels lingering fear.
It was a terrible, painful dream.
Even after waking up and leaving that place, it still lingers in my mind like a nightmare.
"You're still saying it's good even after all this?" The smile on her face made Xian Mingyu's heart ache. She was always so optimistic. No matter how much she suffered or how much pain she endured, she always thought of the good side first, leaving only a little bit of the bad side for last.
"That day... if I had been on time and gone to see your grandfather with you, perhaps you wouldn't have been targeted by the Bai family... I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Bai Xiaoruo was stunned. Had she heard correctly?
"Am I dreaming? You're actually apologizing to me?"
That's incredible.
In Bai Xiaoruo's eyes, Xuan Mingyu always had an arrogant and domineering attitude. Not to mention asking him to apologize, even if he was clearly in the wrong, he would push the blame onto her. Moreover, he would never say many nice things to her. But today, he said a lot.
She suddenly felt that her injury was worth it, and that she was so happy to receive an "I'm sorry" from him.
Actually, she didn't blame him at all. He was a very busy man, so it was normal for him to be too busy to spend time with her. She didn't dare to hope for too much.
Just then, Uncle Chen suddenly walked in from outside.
"Young Master, it's Ayan on the phone."
Hsien Mingyu glanced at the still-connected number in Uncle Chen's hand and felt inexplicably irritated.
Didn't he just spend some time with Su Yulu? What else could she possibly want?
Xuan Mingyu glanced at Bai Xiaoruo on the hospital bed. He originally wanted to ignore the call, but fearing that Su Yuluo might do something extreme again, he had no choice but to answer it.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Su Yulu's familiar voice on the other end—
[Yu, I'm shopping at the supermarket now. I'll cook you something delicious tonight. I hope your tastes haven't changed, right? You used to take care of me all the time. I've learned a few dishes over the years, so I can make them for you to try. When are you coming over for dinner?]
“I…” Xuan Mingyu hesitated.
Because they were very close, Bai Xiaoruo could clearly hear the woman's voice on the other end of the phone, although she couldn't make out what she was saying.
She's not stupid; she's always been very self-aware.
In Xian Mingyu's eyes, she was never the most special person.
"If you're busy, go back. I'll be fine here by myself. It's okay if you don't come to see me again. There are so many nurses and doctors here who can take good care of me."
Xuan Mingyu glanced at Bai Xiaoruo on the hospital bed, and he clearly saw the hint of disappointment in her eyes.
He knew that she was actually reluctant to let him go, but she was also afraid of delaying his plans.
He stood up and went outside to the balcony to answer the phone.
"I have something to do tonight, so I won't be coming over for dinner. You can eat by yourself. I'll come see you tomorrow."
Xuan Mingyu still prefers to spend more time with Bai Xiaoruo.
After all, she had only just woken up, her injuries hadn't healed yet, and she still needed a lot of care.
[But I wanted to eat with you! Why did you wait until tomorrow to come and keep me company? I think I just heard a woman's voice. Yu, are you with another woman and don't want me anymore?]
"Luo'er, I will keep my promise to you, but don't forget the promise you made to me... Stop being unreasonable. I prefer the Luo'er who understood me back then to the Luo'er I am now."
"I...I understand." His words left Su Yulu speechless for a moment.
Yes, she promised him she wouldn't make unfounded suspicions about him anymore.
But... she clearly heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone just now, there's no way it could be fake.
Who is he with? A woman who is more important than her?
"Miss Su, would you like to continue shopping?" Ayan pushed the supermarket cart for her. Su Yulu had been wandering around the supermarket for half a day.
Su Yulu glared at Ayan, annoyed. "What are you still shopping for! I'm going home!"
"yes."
Ayan dared not say another word.
Serving this Miss Su is truly a difficult and arduous task.
......
Xuan Mingyu returned the phone to Uncle Chen and sat back down next to Bai Xiaoruo.
He took her hand again. "Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Bai Xiaoruo was a little surprised. Why hadn't he left yet?
Didn't that woman on the phone just now urge him to go back?
Why does it feel like I'm still dreaming after waking up? Is this really the Xuan Mingyu she knows? Isn't he being unusually nice to her?
"Can I... eat whatever I want?"
"Of course, whatever you can name, I can have someone buy it for you."
“Hmm…” Bai Xiaoru thought about it seriously, “I don’t want to eat anything bought from outside. I want to… eat the porridge you make, is that okay? The one you cooked when I had a fever last time.”
Bai Xiaoruo still fondly remembers that taste.
Especially since it was the first time he had ever fed her himself.
Who doesn't like the feeling of being valued and cherished? Even though she knew she didn't deserve it, Bai Xiaoruo still longed for it. She wished he could treat her a little better, even just a tiny bit, just a little bit of his attention.
“That’s easy. I’ll go ask Uncle Chen to buy the ingredients, and I’ll make it for you in a bit.”
"Really? Xian Mingyu, you're so kind, thank you." Bai Xiaoruo was very excited to receive his consent, and she couldn't wait to taste the porridge he made.
