"I... I don't have the ability to persuade him... Aunt Qin, I'm sorry, I can't help you... But I can make the food again for you, you can take it to him."
Bai Xiaoruo doesn't want to talk to Xuan Mingyu right now.
She didn't do anything wrong, so why should she try to persuade him?
She walked out of the kitchen, took out her phone, and planned to call Ji Ziqian.
Bai Xiaoruo had promised to treat Ji Ziqian to dinner today, and they had been making plans for a long time, but she hadn't had the time yet.
Anyway, Xuanmingyu doesn't care about her anymore. What she does and who she goes out with is her freedom.
"Brother Ziqian, I have something to take care of right now and can't get away. Let's postpone the dinner invitation by an hour. I promise I'll be there on time."
[It's okay, I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes. You go ahead and do your work.]
"Okay, sure."
Bai Xiaoruo hung up the phone and went back to the kitchen.
Despite her injured hands, Aunt Qin never stopped helping Bai Xiaoruo.
"Aunt Qin, don't bother, I can do it myself."
"It's alright, it's alright, I'm just helping you pick some vegetables."
"Sigh." Unable to persuade Aunt Qin, Bai Xiaoruo stopped talking and started busying herself with cooking.
It's already 1 p.m., we need to hurry. If we deliver it too late, it won't be lunch anymore, it'll be afternoon food.
Aunt Qin offered suggestions to Bai Xiaoruo from the side.
"Young Madam, the young master loves your seafood soup the most. There are ingredients in the refrigerator, shall I go get some?"
"No need, Aunt Qin. It's just lunch for him, no need for him to eat so extravagantly." What kind of seafood soup is this? Dream on! Bai Xiaoruo wished she could add a few more spoonfuls of salt to the dish, to make him sick of the saltiness!
"Young Madam, the young master likes your crispy pork. Could you fry some while you're at it?"
"That's too much trouble, I need to get out of here in a hurry."
Want some crispy pork? Pshaw! She'd rather just give him some pork cracklings!
I simply stir-fried two dishes: fried eggs and stir-fried pork with green pepper strips, as well as a small bowl of loofah soup.
Bai Xiaoru closed the lid of the lunchbox and handed it to Aunt Qin, saying, "Okay, the food is ready. I'm going out now."
Aunt Qin and Uncle Bi exchanged a glance. They didn't want Bai Xiaoruo to go out. If it were the young mistress who delivered meals to the young master, it would definitely help the young couple reconcile their relationship.
Aunt Qin suddenly cried out in pain, as if she was dizzy and her vision was blurry. She almost couldn't hold the lunchbox in her hand.
Uncle Bi quickly helped her up, "Old woman! Old woman! Don't scare me, what's wrong?"
"Aunt Qin, what's wrong? Are you alright? I'll call an ambulance for you." Bai Xiaoruo also became nervous and took out her phone to dial the number, but Aunt Qin stopped her.
"No, no, no need to call an ambulance. I'll just go back to my room and lie down for a while. But I still need to bring the young master his meal first. I don't know if I'll be able to make it to the company... Ugh, my head hurts so much, I have no strength left..."
"This..." Seeing Aunt Qin crying out in such pain, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't bear it and took the lunchbox from her hand. "Aunt Qin, let me take your food. You should go back to your room and rest."
"Oh dear, this is not good. Young Madam, aren't you in a hurry to go out with your friends? Let's not trouble you." Aunt Qin pretended to take the lunchbox back from Bai Xiaoruo's hand, but she was still humming and groaning, pretending that her head hurt a lot.
"It's okay, I'll just tell my friend. I'll be there as soon as I drop it off." Bai Xiaoru changed her shoes at the entrance and hurried towards the door.
With about forty minutes left since He Ziqian was late, they should have enough time to get from Xianmingyu's company to the agreed location.

"Miss, we've arrived."
"Oh, here's your fare, keep the change." Su Yuluo took out three red bills from her wallet, handed them to the driver, opened the car door, and got out.
Looking at the majestic building standing before her, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
She had thought of this place a few days ago, but Xian Mingyu made all sorts of excuses, saying that he was too busy with work to take care of her.
Hmph, she's not a child anymore, she doesn't need any care.
Once Xian Mingyu marries her, she will be the rightful president's wife of Qingxian Group, so there's nothing she can't do.
Besides, she also wanted to see if the woman that Xian Mingyu longed for was here.
Today she's going to find that bitch!
Su Yulu swayed her hips and walked into the company with an air of arrogance.
Arriving at the front desk, she impatiently patted the marble table in front of her. "Hey, I'm asking you, where is the president's office?"
The receptionist glanced at her, clearly disliking Su Yulu's attitude earlier. "Miss, do you have an appointment with our CEO?"
"So what if you didn't make an appointment? Open your dog eyes and look carefully! I'm the future president's wife here. If you know what's good for you, tell me where the president's office is right now, or I'll fire you all!"
Wow, what a boastful tone.
The two staff members at the front desk exchanged a glance and then burst into mocking laughter.
"President's wife? Ha, what a joke! Every day, at least ten women come here pretending to be the president's wife. If you don't want to be thrown out, you'd better get out of here right now, or we'll call security!"
"Security guards? Ha, fine, I'm not afraid of you! Wait till I call Yu, I'll have him fire you all!" Su Yulu took out her phone, found Xuan Mingyu's number, and prepared to dial it.
