Xuan Mingyu glanced at Lu Xinyao briefly before looking away. "Let's go."
In his eyes, there was only Bai Xiaoruo.
"Ming..." Before Lu Xinyao could call out to him, Xuan Mingyu and Bai Xiaoruo had already pushed their shopping cart to the other side of the supermarket.
Although Lu Xinyao harbored resentment, she dared not vent it in such a setting.
No matter how angry she was, she still had to save face as the eldest daughter of the Lu family.
However, she couldn't bring herself to swallow this insult completely!
Lu Xinyao watched the petite figure walk away into the distance, a sinister glint flashing in her eyes. "Let's see how long you can be so smug. Once I find something on you, you'll be begging for mercy on your knees!"
Today's humiliation will be repaid to me tenfold one day!
......
The mushroom prices have been set, and we've bought almost everything we need. Time to go home and cook.
Bai Xiaoruo was distracted and almost bumped into a small cart being pushed towards her. Xuan Mingyu quickly pulled her aside.
"What are you thinking about? Is there anything else you want to buy?"
"No," she replied listlessly.
After paying, I pushed the trolley down the elevator and walked all the way to the parking lot.
Hsien Ming-yu put the large bags from the trolley into the trunk one by one.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at Xuan Mingyu beside her and wondered to herself, "We've been walking all this way, why does he still look so calm? Doesn't he have anything else to say to her?"
"Hey." Bai Xiaoruo tugged at his clothes.
What did you call me?
"Uh, well..." Bai Xiaoruo had been so smug in front of Lu Xinyao just now because she was sure that Xian Mingyu would protect her, and she was just showing off in front of her. But now that it was just the two of them, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't bring herself to say it.
If he finds out that I just used him as a shield, will he be very angry?
"Husband..." she said softly, her head lowered.
"Um?"
She was speaking so softly, like an ant, that she was afraid someone would hear her.
"Oh dear, I have something important to tell you." Bai Xiaoruo lightly punched his chest with her fist. "You and her... you're obviously very familiar with each other, why are you pretending not to know each other?" Her tone was sarcastic.
Why are there so many women surrounding him? One after another, batch after batch, it's really giving Bai Xiaoruo a headache.
She knew she shouldn't be jealous or overthink things, but she still couldn't help feeling a little angry whenever she thought about it.
"so what?"
He clearly knew what she wanted to ask, but he pretended!
"She seems to...like you a lot..."
Xuan Mingyu saw through Bai Xiaoruo's little scheme at a glance, but did not expose her immediately.
"Does she mean I have to like her back just because she likes me?"
"But..." She wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start.
Bai Xiaoruo asked him in a different way: "So...did you ever date her? She's...one of your many ex-girlfriends, isn't she?"
Xian Mingyu raised an eyebrow. She shrank back and looked down at her shoes, her mind in turmoil.
What nonsense is this idiot thinking about now?
Just now in the supermarket, he was confidently arguing with Lu Xinyao, but as soon as we came out, he became as timid as a little mouse.
"What would you think if I said yes?"
"I...I..."
She stammered for a long time, then fell silent.
I felt immense unease.
Did they ever really get together?
So, what else could she think?
Does he expect her to be happy for him and applaud?
His sweet talk must have fooled countless girls, and he was just too naive to admit his mistake.
No, what is there for her to be sad about? No matter what, she is now his rightful wife, and she has the most say. She and he are equals, so why should she be afraid?
"So what? No matter what, you're mine now. If you dare to do anything behind my back that's wrong to me and the baby, I'll... I'll take the baby and run far away so you'll never find us again."
As soon as Bai Xiaoruo finished speaking, Xuan Mingyu paused for two seconds, then suddenly burst out laughing.
What should he say to her? He was just saying that casually, but she took it seriously.
"What are you laughing at? I'm serious! If you don't believe me, I'm leaving right now!" Bai Xiaoruo said angrily, turning around to walk in another direction from the parking lot.
How could her short legs possibly match his speed? Xuan Mingyu grabbed her hand and pulled her directly into his arms.
"Okay, I believe you. Walk so fast, be careful you don't get dizzy and nauseous again."
He took off his mask; since it was just the two of them, there was no need to hide anymore.
"None of your business." She buried her face in his chest, still feeling very uncomfortable.
He does this every time.
Whenever she felt like throwing a tantrum, a hug from him would instantly calm her down by half.
These past few days, it wasn't that she was inherently short-tempered, but since becoming pregnant, even the slightest setback would inexplicably make Bai Xiaoruo want to lose her temper. She would become unhappy if anyone angered her.
"If I don't care, who do you expect to care about you?"
Bai Xiaoruo didn't say anything, her little face buried in his chest. Xuan Mingyu was worried that she would suffocate.
