Seeing this, Annie's eyes widened in shock.
What's going on here?
Not only did I run into Xiao Ruo tonight, but the boss is here too!
Good heavens, what a damn coincidence!
I thought that since the boss hadn't come to the company for several days, management had become lax, and she had let herself go, taking leave to travel abroad with her sweetheart.
I haven't even started playing properly yet, and I can already see the boss in Japan! And he's with Bai Xiaoruo too.
Is this... a direct public announcement between them?
Xiao Ruo is truly a formidable young woman. Annie has worked at the company for so many years and has never seen the boss get close to any woman. Even the beautiful and elegant Lu Xinyao couldn't catch his eye. Yet, in just a few months, Xiao Ruo has accomplished all of that!
When Bai Xiaoruo got lost and couldn't find him, she was really scared. She thought that Xuan Mingyu would only focus on Luo'er and wouldn't come looking for her.
"What good is 'sorry'? What am I supposed to do if something really happens to you? Are you an idiot?! Do you even know how worried I am about you?!"
He yelled at her repeatedly, but deep down he was genuinely worried about her and afraid of losing her.
Xuan Mingyu searched for Bai Xiaoruo for a very long time, mistaking countless people along the way. He almost called the police and even considered sending more people over, even turning the place upside down, just to find Bai Xiaoruo.
Bai Xiaoruo remained silent and offered no rebuttal. She knew she was wrong and shouldn't have wandered around aimlessly. She was genuinely confused at the time, which was why she wanted to explore.
But......
Is he really worried about her? If something really happened to her, or if she was almost taken away by bad guys like just now, would he be nervous?
A sigh escaped her lips.
Hsien Ming-yu, why do I feel like I understand you less and less?
You don't love me. I'm just a stranger living with you under the title of your wife. There's clearly someone more suitable for this position.
Sometimes you're cold and distant towards me, yet at other times you show concern and possessiveness.
What am I to you?
How I wish this moment could be frozen in time, so that he could belong to her alone.
If you don't think about anything, nothing will happen.
If only it could always be like this.
"Um, well..." Annie, who had been left out for a long time, coughed lightly twice.
Xuan Mingyu released Bai Xiaoruo from his arms, but his hand was still around her waist.
He then noticed that Anne was there too.
It's not a holiday, so why is she here instead of working at the company?
"Ahem, hi! President... What a coincidence..." Annie chuckled awkwardly, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward in the face of Xuan Mingyu's completely expressionless and cold demeanor.
As expected, the boss is still the same boss. I thought a boss in love would become more kind and gentle, but well, I was just daydreaming.
So fierce...so scary...how did Xiao Ru manage to subdue the boss?
"Um, well... Xiaoruo hurt her foot. I was going to take her to the hospital, but..."
"knew."
These three simple words interrupted Anne before she could finish speaking.
Anne chose to keep quiet.
Okay, the boss doesn't need her, so she won't say anything more.
Xuan Mingyu glanced at Bai Xiaoruo, who was holding him close. He had originally intended to teach her a lesson when he first found her, so that she would never dare to run around and make him worry again.
But when Annie told her that Bai Xiaoruo was injured again, her kimono was all dirty and her face was streaked with tears, her anger vanished instantly, and she couldn't do anything about it.
That damn little girl always manages to inexplicably sway his heart.
Xuan Mingyu scooped her up in his arms and prepared to take a taxi to the hospital.
***
At the hospital.
Bai Xiaoruo's ankle sprain wasn't serious; there was only a slight redness and swelling. The doctor applied ointment to her, and He Xianmingyu instructed her to apply it regularly every day. She would be able to jump around again in a couple of days, and it wouldn't affect her walking.
No need to be hospitalized, you can go straight home.
Annie and her boyfriend also came over. She was very worried about Bai Xiaoruo, after all, she was one of her few good friends in L City.
Bai Xiaoruo sat on the hospital bed, with Annie and her boyfriend by her side, while Xuan Mingyu was outside talking on the phone again.
Bai Xiaoruo really admired Luo'er. Just how much did she have to say to Xuan Mingyu? Once they got back, wouldn't that woman be eager to stick to him day and night?
I am truly pathetic; this so-called wife is so utterly pathetic.
She thought he would really care about her, but it turned out he was still focused on Luo'er.
Annie held Bai Xiaoruo's hand tightly, extremely excited, "Xiaoruo! My God! You can't deny it now, can you? Tell me quickly, how far have things progressed between you and our boss? You even came to Japan together! And I just saw it, when he hugged you, oh my, that worry, that tension, you can't lie."
"Sister Annie, it's not what you think. He and I, we..." Bai Xiaoru couldn't think of any reason to explain herself.
"Don't even think about making excuses anymore. Look, when you came to stay at my house before, the boss came to my house in person to ask you to come back, and you told me you were just friends. Now you've gone abroad together, and you were hugging so tightly just now. Don't tell me you're still just friends, huh? If you ask me, you're boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't you?"
