"Huh? What did you call me?"
"Xuan...uh...that, thank you."
He gently poked her forehead with his long, slender fingers. "Silly girl, I'm your husband."
"Oh~" Bai Xiaoruo lowered her eyes shyly.
He had previously said that they only pretended to be a loving couple in public, and that they would not interfere with each other in private. But now, there are only the two of them here, and he even refers to himself as her husband. Does that mean that in his heart, he has also implicitly accepted that she is his wife?
"Once you're better, I'll take you on a trip. Is there anywhere you'd like to go for our honeymoon?"
"Honeymoon?" Bai Xiaoruo almost forgot that this was an order her grandfather had given them a few days ago. "Hmm... I think we should go to the United States."
"Why?" He had lived there for many years and knew all the streets and attractions like the back of his hand. He was already tired of seeing them and didn't understand why Bai Xiaoruo would yearn to go to the United States.
You should know that the M country is much colder than L city right now, and there's not much to do besides the white snow.
“I heard from Grandma that you spent a lot of your childhood in the United States and grew up there. I really want to see what the place where you grew up is like. Besides, your parents live in the United States, right? If we go there, we can save money on hotels.”
"What?" Bai Xiaoruo's answer made Xian Mingyu both laugh and cry. "After saying all this, are you trying to save me money? Is our Xian family that poor that we can't even afford to stay in a hotel?"

"Plus... Mom doesn't seem to like me very much, so I have to try my best to change her opinion of me." From the first moment they met, Bai Xiaoru knew how much Fang Peiru disliked her. Although she didn't know why, she was sure it was because she hadn't done enough. Even though she didn't live with his parents, they would still see each other during holidays, and it wouldn't be good if there was always a distance between them.
"Fool, just focus on being yourself. You don't need to fawn over someone like her. Whether she likes you or not is irrelevant. What matters is me..."
It's enough that I like you.
Hsien Ming-yu almost blurted it out.
Damn it, what am I thinking?
He's only being nice to this little girl because he feels sorry for her, that's all. He hasn't fallen in love with her.
"Huh? What did you say?" He stopped mid-sentence, leaving Bai Xiaoru somewhat bewildered.
