Aunt Qin put some of the empty plates back in the kitchen.
A few seconds later, Hsien Ming-yu's phone rang again.
Before Xuan Mingyu could even touch his phone, Bai Xiaoruo had already taken it from him.
She didn't look at the caller ID immediately. She was curious why Xian Mingyu always seemed a little guilty. Who was calling him that made him so nervous?
"what you do?"
Bai Xiaoruo mustered her courage and looked him straight in the eye. "Although I said I forgive you, no matter what, I am your wife, and I have the right to see your privacy."
She glanced at the number and felt a sharp pain in her heart. She immediately swiped to reject the call.
"Okay, here's your phone back." Bai Xiaoruo put Xuan Mingyu's phone back in its place, her eyes a little red. "This is the first time I've done something so outrageous. I won't do it again. Our dinner is over now. She must have something urgent to tell you. Go and keep her company." Bai Xiaoruo turned her back, biting her lower lip, not wanting Xuan Mingyu to see her foolish tears. "You can stay with her for as long as you want. I won't care about you anymore. Really, I can take care of the baby all by myself." Her voice was choked with sobs, and tears still fell uncontrollably. She felt terrible, so pathetic.
I can't take it anymore, I really can't go on.
She lifted her foot to leave, but as soon as she took a step forward, her hand was tightly grasped by Xian Mingyu.
"You, you stop holding me, let go! I, I just need to calm down by myself, I won't cause you any trouble."
"Idiot, haven't I made myself clear enough? What kind of person do you take me for? Don't I have the right to choose for myself?"
Bai Xiaoruo wiped away the tears on her face, her eyes red, and turned to look at him.
She didn't quite understand what he meant.
Xian Mingyu took her hand and pulled her into his lap to sit down. He took two tissues from the table and wiped her tears. "Why are you crying so much? You just finished crying this afternoon, and now you're crying again."
Bai Xiaoru pouted, feeling wronged. She reached out and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he would disappear from her sight at any moment.
She wasn't being jealous on purpose. She snatched his phone and rejected his calls simply because she didn't want to hear him talking on the phone with that woman named Luo'er again. Every time he ignored her, her heart ached.
I really want to be more domineering, more possessive, and less pathetic.
Xian Mingyu comforted her back. She was crying so hard, and he felt bad for her too. "Don't cry. Crying will hurt your health and the baby. I know I made you feel insecure, but this is the last time. I will make everything clear at once."
Bai Xiaoru sniffed and looked at him, puzzled. "What do you want me to explain?"
Just then, his phone rang again.
Looking at the caller ID, she gripped his shirt tightly. That woman was calling again. He'd answer, wouldn't he? She couldn't stop him anymore, could she?
Xian Mingyu patted the little head of the person in his arms, "Don't worry, I will explain everything clearly."
He had just picked up his phone and pressed the call button when Su Yulu's coquettish voice came from the other end, tinged with a hint of impatience.
[Yu, why didn't you answer my calls? What are you busy with? I cooked a lot of delicious food, all your favorites...]
Before Su Yulu could finish speaking, Xian Mingyu interrupted her, "No need, I won't go, and I won't again."
[What? Why? Yu! You promised me! You would stay with me! You would only ever love me, how could you break your promise! Aren't you afraid I'll...]
"Luo'er, perhaps I should have been honest with you sooner. I'm sorry for keeping it from you for so long, but as I said before, I waited for you to come back for six years. But it turns out I waited for the wrong person. You've changed, and I've changed too. We can never go back to the way things were."
“I’ve already told Ayan to put away all those weapons. You can still live in that house, but I won’t give you any more money. You should support yourself and start a new life. As for the promise I made to you, I really had no choice at the time. I couldn’t just watch you die. But from now on, don’t do anything like threatening me with your life. You know what I hate most is being threatened. I won’t hold the past against you. I hope you’re well. That’s all.”
[No! No! Yu, you can't do this to me! How could you get married? How could you marry someone else? The person you love is me! Me! Yu, come back! I won't let you leave me! You said you would help me, you said you would!]
Bai Xiaoruo snatched Xuan Mingyu's phone again and pressed the call-end button.
She didn't want to hear that woman's screams anymore.
"Satisfied?" Xuan Mingyu didn't blame Bai Xiaoruo at all.
He gently pinched her cheek.
Her domineering manner is actually quite cute.
"It's not like I asked you to say those things." Bai Xiaoru pouted and muttered under her breath. Was he really that unhappy about her cutting ties with her ex-lover?
“I’m not trying to please you. I should have said these things a long time ago, but I always hesitated. Her emotions have always been very unstable. I don’t want to hurt her, but I know that if some things aren’t made clear from the beginning, the damage will only grow.”
