"I, I... I really didn't mean to..." Ji Shushu was almost crying, and she didn't know what to do.
Could something have happened to Xiaobai?
With her stomach pain subsiding, Bai Xiaoruo comforted Ji Shushu, "Shushu, I'm fine. Don't take it to heart. It was just my own carelessness."
"But, but..." Ji Shushu glanced fearfully at Xuan Mingyu behind Bai Xiaoruo. His fierce and menacing appearance seemed to be about to devour her whole. It was terrifying.
Bai Xiaoruo turned back to look at Xuan Mingyu. She was alright now, so why was he still keeping such a fierce and stern face?
Shushu was terrified.
"What are you glaring at me for? Stop being so fierce to Shushu," she said, standing on tiptoe and pinching his cheeks with both hands. "Give me a smile."
Xian Mingyu irritably removed Bai Xiaoruo's hand and pulled her back into his arms. "What are you laughing at! If something really happens to you, will it be too late? It's clearly her fault. Are you an idiot? Why are you taking the blame?"
"I......"
"Xiaobai, don't say anymore. It's all my fault. I'm sorry... I... I'll go far away so I won't hurt you anymore." Ji Shushu choked up and ran out.
"Shushu!" Bai Xiaoruo and Annie called out in unison, but she had already disappeared.
What should we do now? The wedding is about to start in half an hour.
Bai Xiaoruo was about to chase after him when Xuan Mingyu pulled her back, saying, "Don't run around. You're pregnant now."
"Don't hold me back, I'm going to find Shushu!" Ji Shushu ran off like that, what if she encountered danger? Bai Xiaoru was really worried.
"Xiao Ruo, don't worry, I'll have Gu Yao go find her." Annie picked up her phone and started calling Gu Yao.
Ji Shushu is unfamiliar with this place and didn't bring her wallet or phone with her, so she definitely can't have gone very far.
If it were someone else looking for her, they wouldn't recognize her. At least Gu Yao knows her. Once he finds her, he can persuade her to come back.
"Hello? Is this Gu Yao? Where are you?"
[What's wrong?] Gu Yao was still checking the venue setup. The wedding was about to begin, and there couldn't be any mishaps.
"Go find Shushu now, you must bring her back before the wedding starts."
[Looking for her? What happened to her?]
"Oh dear, I can't explain it to you right now. You should go look for her quickly. She didn't have her phone or wallet with her. Go find her before she gets too far."
[I understand, don't worry, I'll go right now.]
Gu Yao hung up the phone, feeling quite helpless.
What is that crazy girl up to now? Today is Annie's wedding, she's really going too far.
"Xiao Ruo, don't worry, Gu Yao will definitely be able to find Shu Shu."
"Yes. Sister Annie, I'm so sorry, Shushu has caused you trouble. I apologize on her behalf. Shushu isn't usually like this."
"Oh, what's there to apologize for? I didn't take it to heart, I understand. When I was your age, I had an even fiery temper than Shushu, if it weren't for my darling..."
Uh... here we go again...
She's about to launch into another long, drawn-out love story with her sweetheart...
However, it's good that Sister Annie isn't angry. Hopefully, Gu Yao can find Shushu soon so that today's wedding can proceed smoothly.
"Alright, don't worry about Gu Yao coming to find you. Sit down first." Xuan Mingyu pulled Bai Xiaoruo to sit on the sofa.
I was worried she would get tired from standing for too long.
Bai Xiaoruo looked annoyed and didn't know what to say to Xian Mingyu.
"Does your stomach still hurt? Should we go to the hospital again?"
"No need to go, the wedding is about to start, I'm fine." Having been to the hospital twice in one day was exhausting, and Bai Xiaoruo felt uncomfortable just from the smell of disinfectant everywhere.
If we go to the hospital again, by the time we get back, the party will almost be over, so what's the point?
Would you like some water?
Bai Xiaoru shook her head.
Are you hungry?
She shook her head again.
Xian Mingyu wanted to ask her something more, but Bai Xiaoruo grabbed his hand and shook her head again, "Don't worry about me, I'm not hungry or thirsty, I'm fine from head to toe."
"But you..." Her expression suddenly turned serious. "From now on, you can't always have such a sullen face. I don't like it when you're like that."
"I never get angry so easily, what I was doing just now was..."
"I don't care. You said you'd listen to me completely today and not talk back." This was something they agreed on before going to bed last night. Today is New Year's Eve, and he has the whole day to himself. No matter what she wants to do or say, he can't contradict her.
Hsien Ming-yu was completely speechless.
He was defeated by her; he had no way to deal with her.
Of course, you should listen to your wife.
"Also, if Gu Yao brings Shushu back later, you can't yell at her anymore. You have to talk to her nicely."
"How else can we talk this out? She's already bullying you, and I have to put up with my wife being bullied?" Xuan Mingyu was still angry when he thought about how Ji Shushu had pushed Bai Xiaoruo so roughly.
I'm afraid she's hiding something from me just to protect Ji Shushu.
"What happened just now was an accident. Shushu really didn't do it on purpose, so don't be so petty."
"But she just now..."
"Alright, I know what you're going to say, but I know her better than you do," Bai Xiaoru interrupted Xian Mingyu.
