Bai Xiaoruo squatted on the ground for a long time until her legs went numb.
She didn't know where she could go, nor when Xian Mingyu would return.
He dared not go back inside, afraid of upsetting his mother again.
At that moment, a pair of shiny men's leather shoes appeared in front of Bai Xiaoruo, and the small, curled-up girl was completely enveloped by the tall figure in front of her.
She paused for a moment, then looked up. It was Xian Mingyu.
His face was expressionless, unsure whether to blame her or feel helpless towards her.
She came out in such cold weather, wearing so little clothing.
"what are you doing here?"
"I...it's nothing, I just felt a bit stuffy in the room, so I came out for some fresh air."
She made up a reason, stood up, and prepared to go back inside. Just as she turned around, the man behind her grabbed her already frozen hand.
It's very cold.
Her body was trembling.
That idiot.
Why do I always manage to make such a mess of taking care of myself?
"Come here." Xuan Mingyu pulled Bai Xiaoruo back in front of him.
He took off the dark gray scarf from his neck and tied it around her neck, and also took off his black coat and gave it to her to wear.
Bai Xiaoruo shrank her head, not daring to look at him.
She didn't know how to face him.
His scarf and his coat still carried his scent.
It was very warm, and it instantly drove away all the chill from her body.
As he draped his coat over her shoulders, he said apologetically, "I promised to spend some quality time with you here, but I have work today, so I'll have to reschedule for tomorrow."
"No, it's okay."
As long as he still remembers, that's enough.
She was happy whenever he was around, whether she was having fun or just watching him work.
Has Grandpa given you permission to return to the company?
“No. Grandpa just doesn’t want me to get involved in Qingxian’s affairs anymore, it doesn’t mean he can control me here. This job was arranged for me by my dad.” He tugged at the collar of her coat, gently pulled her closer to him, bent down, and kissed her cold little head. “Let’s go inside.”
"Um."
***
Everyone was present at dinner that evening, except for Fang Peiru.
Xian Shaodong only said that she was not feeling well and was resting in her room and did not want to eat.
Bai Xiaoruo had been hungry for a whole day, so she was most eager to eat at mealtimes.
The elders also took good care of her, telling her not to take what happened in the afternoon to heart. Fang Peiru was actually all bark and no bite; she would get used to it. Once they were all more familiar with each other, she wouldn't keep pointing fingers at Bai Xiaoruo.
Bai Xiaoruo nodded and silently picked at the rice in her bowl.
After all, she was Xian Mingyu's mother. No matter how upset she was, she wouldn't hold a grudge against her elders. However, Bai Xiaoruo kept Fang Peiru's words in mind all afternoon. She had to get up early tomorrow and couldn't stay in bed any longer.
Hsien Mingyu, who was standing to the side, was completely confused. He had been outside all day and had no idea what had happened that afternoon.
"What are you talking about?" He glanced at Bai Xiaoruo, who was eating heartily beside him.
The little girl's appetite was much better tonight. She almost finished a big bowl of rice and ate all the vegetables he put on her plate. Last night, she only ate a few grains of rice and a few pieces of vegetables.
I guess the food tonight really suited her taste.
"There's nothing there," Bai Xiaoruo replied vaguely to Xian Mingyu.
She quickly finished her meal, grabbed a tissue from the table to wipe her mouth, and got up to go upstairs.
She needs to go to bed early tonight so she can wake up early.
***
Nine o'clock in the evening.
After discussing today's work with Xian Shaodong in the study, Xian Mingyu returned to his room to find Bai Xiaoruo already fast asleep in bed.
This puzzled Hsien Ming-yu.
Why is she going to bed so early tonight? Usually, I can see her running around around until 11 pm, and sometimes she's even lying on the bed playing on her phone.
Is it because she was bored after her phone was confiscated that she started going to bed early?
......
After taking a shower, Xuan Mingyu walked to the bedside, lifted the blanket next to Bai Xiaoruo, and lay down directly inside.
With a swift motion, he scooped the little girl, who was sleeping on the edge, into his arms.
At first, I simply held her waist while we slept, but I couldn't control the restlessness in my heart.
Every time I see her, it's like I'm addicted to drugs.
I really want to eat her up.
No matter how much she eats, you can never get enough of her.
Just holding such a sweet and soft little girl in my arms, I feel uncomfortable if I don't do something with her.
His hands gradually became restless. Just as his large hand lifted her nightgown, before he could make the next move, his large hand was grabbed by a soft little hand.
Perhaps because she slept too much today, Bai Xiaoruo's sleep is not very deep. She woke up as soon as Xuan Mingyu got into bed and hugged her.
I just don't want to open my eyes yet.
"Stop it, I'm so tired, I want to sleep."
He's not tired at all, even though we just finished doing it last night? Doesn't he get tired at all?
"Bai Xiaoruo, did you go out to steal today?"
"I just want to sleep, you can't do that to me."
She had only managed to fall asleep for a short while when he woke her up. She should have just gone to sleep in the guest room.
Just once.
"don't want."
"If I say I want it, then I want it."
She couldn't possibly refuse.
"You...uh!"
He straightened her lying body and rolled over, pinning her beneath him.
