When Bai Xiaoruo woke up again, it was because she was hungry.
Perhaps it's because I ate too little for dinner yesterday that I'm starting to feel hungry now, or perhaps it's because I was exhausted by Xuan Mingyu last night that I feel hungry.
When I woke up, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
This was the longest sleep Bai Xiaoruo had ever had.
I woke up with a sore back and aching waist, feeling weak and unable to move.
The pajamas that Xuan Mingyu violently tore last night are nowhere to be found, but Bai Xiaoruo has been dressed in a new set of pajamas.
Knowing that her immune system was already weak due to the cold weather, every time Xuan Mingyu had taken advantage of her since the beginning of winter, he would remember to dress her properly after Bai Xiaoruo fell asleep, so as not to let her catch a cold.
Actually, he is annoying, always gruff and rarely speaks nicely to her. He gets angry at her at the drop of a hat and never thinks he is wrong. Both of them are stubborn, so arguments and cold wars happen most often. However, he also has a good side to her, a considerate and warm side, but he just doesn't put on an act in front of her.
Bai Xiaoruo still gets angry when she thinks about last night.
Last night, he really didn't let her sleep.
She was tormented until the middle of the night, and he made her dizzy countless times. She begged for mercy countless times until dawn broke and he himself was sleepy before he let her go. Bai Xiaoruo fell asleep in a daze, exhausted and sleepy. She didn't know what happened after that.
Oh no! This is terrible!
Bai Xiaoruo suddenly threw off the covers and sat up.
Looking at the pillow, Xian Mingyu was long gone; there wasn't even a trace of warmth left. He had been gone for a long time.
Why didn't he wake her up together?
This isn't L City, it's not the new hospital, and it's not their own home. Oh no, they're up so late on their first day here. If his mother finds out, she'll definitely scold him again.
Bai Xiaoruo hurriedly got out of bed, washed up, changed her clothes, tied her hair into a neat ponytail, put on her contact lenses, and rushed downstairs.
Downstairs, even lunch had been finished, and the servants had cleared away the dishes.
The four elders were sitting happily on the sofa watching TV when Bai Xiaoruo walked down the stairs with a loud "thump, thump, thump," which made everyone on the sofa look at her.
Jian Yuemei chuckled, "Little girl, are you finally awake?"
Bai Xiaoruo's ponytail made her face look even smaller, and she looked even smaller overall. With her big, round eyes blinking and a cute, childlike expression, plus her pink sweater dress, people would believe she was still a middle school student.
Fang Peiru glanced at Bai Xiaoru, who was still standing on the middle of the stairs. With her sharp eyes, she immediately noticed the two little hickeys on Bai Xiaoru's fair neck. She knew without a doubt whose "masterpiece" it was.
My son spoils this little girl too much; he's really pampered her rotten.
She doesn't do housework, gets up late, needs to be waited on every day, and is picky about food. The Bai family's small, low-class company can't bring any benefits to the Xuan family. In other words, Xuan Mingyu marrying Bai Xiaoruo is like giving away his money. Everything he does is a gift to the Bai family and to Bai Xiaoruo. She doesn't help his career at all.
He rejected so many good girls, so why did he fall for Bai Xiaoruo?
Looking at her small frame, she probably can't lift anything, it's like raising multiple children. What use is there in marrying such a useless girl? What can we expect her to do?
Originally, it was thought that it was only because of the interference of Xian Zhengsen and Lin Suqing that Xian Mingyu had no choice but to marry Bai Xiaoruo. But now it seems that Xian Mingyu's love for Bai Xiaoruo is the main reason. His precious son has been completely captivated by this little girl and is deeply infatuated with her.
Bai Xiaoruo nervously rubbed her hands as she came downstairs and stood beside the four elders. "Dad, Mom, Uncle and Aunt, good afternoon."
"Hmph, what's so good about it? You've saved on breakfast and lunch. You're really easy to feed." Fang Peiru sneered, giving her no kind look whatsoever.
When she first married into the family, she did countless dirty and tiring jobs. After Bai Xiaoruo arrived, she received all the love and pampering from Grandpa Xian, Grandma Xian, and Xian Mingyu, and was treated like a precious jewel.
Although Xian Shaodong advised his wife not to speak too harshly, this time he also sided with Fang Peiru. "Xiaoruo, our Xian family has its own rules. Even if Mingyu dotes on you and exempts you from learning many things, as the mistress of the Xian family, you can't just be lazy and do nothing. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Brother, Xiao Ruo is still young. Let's not bring up those rules so early," Xian Shaonan advised.
“What do you mean ‘little’? We’re all adults. Now that she’s married into our Xian family, everything has to be done according to the rules.”
Bai Xiaoruo lowered her head, her lips pressed tightly together, at a loss. It was all her fault; she shouldn't have been so sleepy.
"I'm sorry, I will definitely change in the future and promise I won't get up so late again."
"Guarantee? What do you have to guarantee?" Fang Peiru stood up and walked up to Bai Xiaoru. "Lift your head! Mingyu isn't here, so what are you pretending to be pitiful for! Are you planning to complain to him?"
"No, no." Bai Xiaoru kept shaking her head. She really didn't mean it, and she wouldn't tell Xian Mingyu.
Jian Yuemei stepped forward to speak up for Bai Xiaoruo, "Sister-in-law, Xiaoruo is still a child. Don't be so harsh on her. She's your daughter-in-law, after all. It's not good for anyone if things get tense, especially with Mingyu..."
"Just because she's my daughter-in-law, I have the right to control her! Sister-in-law, one day your Aze will also get married. If he marries such a lazy woman like my good-for-nothing son, I don't know who will be more troubled!" Fang Peiru interrupted Jian Yuemei, her tone utterly impolite.
