"I told you not to run around, what's the rush?" Fortunately, she was caught in time without any serious injury.
Xian Mingyu looked at Bai Xiaoruo in his arms with a mixture of helplessness and anger. When he first met her, he thought she was very quiet, not talkative and timid. But once he got to know her, she was like a wild child who had run wild and was impossible to catch. She was also argumentative and stubborn.
But there was no way around it; no matter how lively and energetic the little girl was, he still had to keep an eye on her.
Sometimes I think she has her cute side. She's small and can be pinched and hugged as much as she wants. Apart from being a little absent-minded, she rarely worries him or goes against him.
If he hadn't met Su Yulu back then, but instead met this little girl first, perhaps she would have stirred his heart even more.
No, what idiotic thing am I thinking? Six years ago... Bai Xiaoruo was only 12 years old at most back then. Even if he knew her then, how could he possibly like a mere child?
"knew."
Bai Xiaoruo gripped Xian Mingyu's sleeve tightly. She truly knew she was wrong and would obediently stay by his side.
After crossing the street, we finally arrived at the jewelry store that Bai Xiaoruo had been longing to visit.
Xuan Mingyu was initially reluctant to go in with her. It seemed strange for a grown man like him to go into such a shabby jewelry store. However, he couldn't resist Bai Xiaoruo's insistence, so he eventually humbled himself and went in with her.
Bai Xiaoruo wanted to buy some things, some trinkets, but she always struggled to make a decision, so she needed someone to help her choose.
When Hsien Ming-yu refused to spend time with her, she would blurt out, "You said it yourself, today your time belongs to me."
He had no choice but to go along with it, no matter how much he disliked it.
Stepping into the jewelry store, which wasn't actually small, Bai Xiaoruo was dazzled by the wide array of trinkets on the shelves. She wandered around looking at everything, while Xian Mingyu stayed close by her side, paying for whatever she wanted to buy.
"You know what? When I first walked into a store like this when I was little, I thought that when I grew up, I would definitely open a store like this too~" She wandered around, still undecided about what to buy. However, Bai Xiaoru really liked the decoration style of this jewelry store. It was very beautiful and also very childlike and cute.
"Then your dream is too superficial."
Xuan Mingyu's sudden remark shattered Bai Xiaoruo's beautiful dreams.
"Tch~ How is that superficial? Girls, what girl doesn't like these pretty little things?" She turned around and glared at him, annoyed. There was really no way to communicate with this guy.
Bai Xiaoruo walked to a shelf, picked up many small boxes, inside which lay many different styles of bracelets. She took one out, put it on her wrist and looked at it. "Does it look good?" she asked Xian Mingyu for his opinion.
Bai Xiaoruo touched the bracelet on her wrist; the sparkling crystals strung together made her really like the design.
"Most of what's sold here is fake. If you like it......"
Before Xian Mingyu could finish speaking, Bai Xiaoruo quickly covered his mouth with a nervous expression, raising a finger to make a "shh" gesture, signaling him not to speak so loudly.
He was very tall, and Bai Xiaoruo had to stand on tiptoe to cover his mouth.
Xuan Mingyu forcefully pried her hands away, somewhat displeased. "I'm just stating the facts. Why are you covering my mouth?"
"Hey! Don't speak so loudly! If the boss hears us, we might get kicked out."
Bai Xiaoruo lowered her voice and looked around to see if the shop owner was nearby.
"Idiot!" He reached out and flicked her forehead. "This is the US, who can understand your Chinese?"
"Huh? Oh right..." Bai Xiaoruo only then noticed that the customers who came here to buy things were all foreigners who spoke fluent English. Unless they screamed very loudly, no one would pay any attention to them.
Bai Xiaoruo took off the bracelet and put it back in its original place. Actually, after looking at it a few more times, she didn't really like it anymore.
As she walked, she noticed a pile of porcelain dolls on the shelf.
She picked up one of the yellow cat porcelain dolls, which was very cute.
This porcelain doll is only the size of a palm and is exquisitely crafted.
"Wow, it's so pretty," Bai Xiaoruo touched it, and it felt really nice. "If I give this to Shushu, she'll definitely love it."
Ji Shushu loves cats the most and has several cats at home, so when Bai Xiaoruo saw this cat porcelain doll, she immediately thought of her friend.
"You haven't even bought one for yourself, why are you worrying about other people's?" Xian Mingyu really couldn't understand why Bai Xiaoruo liked such cheap things. In the past, every time he gave Su Yuluo a gift, she would choose something expensive, and the more expensive the gift, the happier she would be.
"It's a rare opportunity to get out and have fun, so of course I can't just think about myself. Hmm... how about you help me pick one out as a gift from you?"
"Me? The things here are so cheap, how could they be worthy of my status as Xian Mingyu's wife?"
Xuan Mingyu originally planned to take Bai Xiaoruo to the mall to shop for designer brands, but she insisted on coming here and wandered around for a long time without wanting to leave.
Bai Xiaoruo didn't care about status or wealth at all; she would like anything given to her by Xuan Mingyu.
"I love the things here. If you don't give me some, you're a cheapskate!"
“Who’s stingy?” Xuan Mingyu glanced at the trinkets on the shelf, picked up a chubby plastic rabbit and handed it to Bai Xiaoruo. “Here, this is for you. It looks exactly like you.”
