Xuan Mingyu placed the bag he was carrying on the table and opened the lunchbox inside. There were two layers. The first layer contained various delicious-looking snacks, and the second layer contained Bai Xiaoruo's favorite shumai. Of course, in addition to these foods, there was also a can of hot milk.
Bai Xiaoruo's eyes lit up when she saw the shumai. She used to make it herself and rarely ate it outside.
She took out disposable chopsticks from the bag, tore open the packaging, picked up a shumai, and started eating.
It's still very warm, and the fragrant and soft glutinous rice flavor is very rich.
The shumai contains not only dried shrimp and stir-fried diced meat, but also finely chopped mushrooms, creating a multi-layered texture that makes it especially delicious.
"It's so delicious! Where did you buy it?"
"I just bought it casually," Xuan Mingyu replied to her nonchalantly.
Actually, he hadn't eaten breakfast on the way here, but he wasn't very hungry yet, so he bought what Bai Xiaoruo liked to eat first, and would grab something to eat later when he got to the company.
Ji Shushu has already chosen the dress she wants and tried it on. She will be coming here to get her makeup done tomorrow, so she doesn't need to take it with her.
From afar, Ji Shushu and Annie could smell the fragrance coming from Bai Xiaoruo's place.
"Xiaobai, I've finished trying on the clothes. What are you eating?"
"This is super delicious, do you want some?" There were ten shumai in the whole box, and Bai Xiaoruo had already eaten four. Perhaps she was really hungry, or perhaps it was because she was pregnant. Although she was a picky eater, she would either not touch anything at all or eat her favorite foods until she was stuffed.
Annie recognized the logo on the lunchbox at a glance. "Wow, this is from Yuehefang! Xiaoruo, you're so lucky! Every time I go there to queue, I have to get up really early and wait forever before it's my turn."
Yuehefang is a famous snack shop in L City. It is the only one in the city and there are no branches. Each snack is limited to 300 servings per day, and each person can only order a maximum of two servings. Once sold out, it closes. It is often sold out before 10 am. Even if you queue up for a long time, you may not be able to get a serving. Although the price of the snacks is several times higher than other places, it wins because of its unique taste. So even if you have to queue up for a long time, there will always be long queues.
Knowing that Bai Xiaoruo liked shumai, Xuan Mingyu even called Gu Yao to ask him which restaurant made the best shumai.
When they arrived at Yuehefang, the queue was already almost across the street. Fearing that Bai Xiaoruo wouldn't be able to wait, and not wanting to look for other shops, Xuan Mingyu paid several times the price and haggled with the owner for a long time. In the end, the owner secretly took a portion from the back door for him, saving him the trouble of queuing.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at Xuan Mingyu sitting next to her, then at the shumai on her chopsticks, and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
He just said he bought it for her casually, but it must have taken him a lot of effort.
***
It wasn't the weekend, so after dropping Bai Xiaoruo off at home, Xuan Mingyu had to go back to work.
Before leaving, he gave her a long list of instructions.
Xuan Mingyu hired two bodyguards to protect her at home. Whenever Bai Xiaoruo wanted to go out, she had to be accompanied by bodyguards.
Sharp knives are forbidden. If you are hungry, have your bodyguard buy you food. The food must be prepared by a five-star restaurant. You cannot order unclean takeout. You cannot sweep or mop the floor. Even if you think something is dirty, you cannot touch it yourself.
Hands should not be touched by cold water; if you must wash your hands, you must use hot water.
Even indoors, you must wear socks and warm, furry shoes; you cannot go barefoot on the floor.
If you experience any stomach discomfort or physical ailment, call him immediately. If you don't have time to call him, have your bodyguard call him right away.
Most importantly, you should never eat raw or cold fruits, and you should drink plenty of hot water, not cold water.
Xuan Mingyu kept repeating himself, and Bai Xiaoruo was getting tired of hearing it.
"Okay, okay, you go to work now."
It's already 10:30 in the morning. Xuan Mingyu usually has to be at the company by 9 o'clock. He's already so late. If he weren't the boss, he would have been fired long ago.
Did you hear what I said?
"Oh dear, I heard you. You'd better hurry up and get to the company. Your employees will start to complain about you."
"Who dares to have a problem with me!" Xuan Mingyu glanced at the two bodyguards standing behind him. "You two, get out and close the door behind you!"
"Yes, young master."
The two bodyguards immediately turned around and left the house.
"Why did you call them out?" Bai Xiaoruo asked, looking bewildered.
Didn't he say he was going to leave these two people to protect her? Why were they called out again?
Xian Mingyu didn't speak, but pulled the person in front of him into his arms.
Sometimes I really wish every day was the weekend, so I didn't have to work and could spend every day with her.
I just want to delay the time, delay it a little longer, so I can spend a few more minutes with her.
He picked her up and placed her on the dining table. Before Bai Xiaoru could react to what he was about to do, he turned slightly and swiftly sealed her slightly parted lips with a domineering kiss.
After a long and lingering kiss, he reluctantly let her go.
Hsien Mingyu lowered his head again and kissed her smooth forehead. "Be good at home and wait for me to come back."
"Hmm." Bai Xiaoruo lowered her head and nodded.
My lips are almost swollen from his kisses, and I can still faintly smell his scent on them. I'm so shy.

"Please, this bag cost me 50,000 when I bought it, how come it's only worth 500 here? No way, you need to re-evaluate it for me. I've only used this bag twice, you need to give me at least 40,000, otherwise I won't sell it."
