"Then I'll let you hit me back. That should calm you down, right?"
"real?"
Bai Xiaoruo was skeptical.
He still wants her to hit him?
"Really, but go easy on me. I have to go back to work in a bit; I still need my looks to make a living."
"Tch~"
His words made Bai Xiaoruo very happy, and all her previous resentment and anger towards him vanished at that moment.
"Then close your eyes, I'm going to fight back."
Why do you need to close your eyes?
"I'm afraid you'll faint from fright if you see blood."
"Is it really that serious? You're trying to murder your husband?"
"I'm not telling you. Hurry up and close your eyes, or I won't talk to you anymore," Bai Xiaoru urged.
He has to go back to the company soon, right? If he delays any longer, it will be almost time for him to get off work.
"Okay, okay, I'll close it."
Pregnant women come first, so just go along with her.
Hsien Ming-yu closed his eyes.
The moment he closed his eyes, Bai Xiaoruo was stunned. This man was truly handsome.
His eyelashes were very long, and his skin was so good that many girls would be ashamed of themselves. It was fair and delicate, and even at such a close distance, you could hardly see any pores.
If you said he was eight years older than her, no one would believe it.
With such a naturally good foundation, even if she quits her job and becomes a gigolo, making a living off her looks wouldn't be a problem at all.
It's such a pity that such a handsome face has been ruined.
A few seconds later, instead of the loud slap and pain he expected, Xuan Mingyu felt only a gentle pinch on his cheek before she quickly released him.
"Okay, that's all. I forgive you."
Xuan Mingyu opened his eyes again. "Is this what you call hitting?" He felt no pain at all. He thought she was going to really hit him hard.
"What? You're not satisfied? Then I won't forgive you."
"Alright, alright, I'm satisfied." Xuan Mingyu pulled Bai Xiaoruo's hand again and kissed it. "From now on, we will never quarrel again, never have a cold war again, and live happily ever after. Right now it's just the two of us, but after the baby is born, it will be a family of three."
"But... what about her?"
Bai Xiaoruo hesitated.
Can she really let go of everything and live a good life with him?
She had been rejected by him countless times, and his cold words still seemed to echo in her ears. Now, she really dared not hope for anything more.
"You mean Luo'er?"
"Um......"
They call each other "Luo'er" all the time, so intimately. Bai Xiaoruo would never believe that there's really nothing between them.
"She was my first love when I was in college. At that time, we were very much in love, and I would give her anything she wanted."
"And then? You went to university... and so many years have passed since then, why haven't you married her?" Bai Xiaoruo asked impatiently.
"Before I met you, I always thought that my family disliked her because of the difference in our social status, especially my mother, who always tried every means to prevent Luo'er and me from being together. Later, even my grandfather, father and grandmother stood on the same side as my mother."
"So... if your family had agreed to you being with her back then, you would have gotten married immediately, right?"
"You could say that, but what I didn't expect was that one day six years ago, she suddenly disappeared, as if she had vanished into thin air. I couldn't find her anywhere. I sent many people, but no matter how much we inquired or searched, we couldn't find her..." Xuan Mingyu told Bai Xiaoruo about the general situation back then.
This was also the first time he had proactively brought up his past stories with someone.
This was the first time I wanted to be honest with her, to make her feel safe, and to let her know that he was serious about her and the baby.
He has completely let go of the past, and all he wants in the future is to be with Bai Xiaoruo and their baby.
For the first time, he was so serious about wanting to take responsibility for her.
After listening, Bai Xiaoruo roughly understood and her heart calmed down a lot.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, Bai Xiaoruo still wanted to believe Xian Mingyu one last time.
It also gives me a chance to get to know him better.
Their journey from strangers to husband and wife certainly required a great deal of adjustment and understanding.
Instead of overthinking other things, why not try to accept all these natural changes?
She is his wife, his rightful and legally recognized wife, and now she is carrying his baby. She is the one who has the most right to speak. Why should he be afraid of a woman with whom he still has lingering ties in the past?
As long as he has her in his heart, what is there for her to be afraid of?
"That's it, understand? I promise you, I won't go to see her anymore. Besides work, I'll just come home and be with you, okay?"
"You have to keep your word and not lie to me again."
Xian Mingyu held up three fingers, looking at Bai Xiaoruo with deep affection, as if he were about to make a solemn vow, "I promise, otherwise I will..."
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, I believe you." Bai Xiaoruo covered his mouth first, preventing him from saying anything.
There's really no need for oaths or anything like that. She doesn't want to hear any oaths he makes, especially since they're not exactly good words. If they come true, she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
