Did I hear that right? She clearly said so much just now, about the journey and what she was going out to do; she definitely went out to play.
Before Xian Mingyu could ask any further questions, Bai Xiaoruo was already eager to hang up the phone.
"I'm hanging up if you don't have anything else to say." She was still angry. Why did he only call her now? Where was he before?
She's not important to him at all!
[Don't hang up! Don't you want to hear my voice?] Hearing her soft voice, Xuan Mingyu felt much more at ease. Why was she in such a hurry to hang up?
"It's you who doesn't want to hear my voice. A busy person like President Xian wouldn't remember a nobody like me." Bai Xiaoru snorted coldly, not wanting to pay any attention to him.
Are you angry?
"Hmph, now you want to coax me? Too late."
[I haven't even said I'd coax you yet.]
"Then why did you call me? I'm hanging up! I don't want to talk to you!"
[Okay, okay, I was wrong. I was just teasing you. Of course I'll try to make up with you.]
She's really got a temper when she's pregnant, so you can't really provoke her with jokes that are just meant to be.
"What do you mean, 'teasing me'? You just enjoy bullying me!"
[Only someone like you would I want to bully. I might not even bother with anyone else.]
"Who cares if you talk to me? If you're so capable, then ignore me for ten days, half a month, or even after the baby is born."
[Really not that rare?]
"Isn't that exactly what you wanted?"
[Who said that? I can't bear to part with it.]
[Okay, don't be angry anymore. I didn't mean to call you so late. I was really busy before, and I haven't even had a bite to eat since last night.]
"Last night? What time is it in L City now? Haven't you eaten anything all day?" Bai Xiaoruo was anxious when she heard that Xuan Mingyu hadn't eaten yet. No matter how busy he was at work, he couldn't miss his meals. Missing one meal was one thing, but how could his body take it if he didn't eat anything all day?
[I just woke up, it's... already afternoon. Let me chat with you a bit longer, then we'll go out to eat.]
In affluent residential areas like Junjiang District, food delivery is impossible. The only options are to cook at home or drive out to find food.
"and you......"
"Miss, the destination has arrived." The car had already arrived at the hotel entrance, and the driver turned around to remind Bai Xiaoruo in fluent English.
She asked the driver how much it would cost, took out a few bills from her wallet and gave them to him, thanking him.
"I'm a bit busy right now. I'll call you back when you get back if you're still free. That's all for now."
She hurriedly hung up the phone, opened the car door, and got out.
Before Xuan Mingyu on the other end could even ask what she was going to do, Bai Xiaoruo had already hung up the phone.
What's she rushing off to? It's so late, who gave her permission to go out?
I'll have to check her whereabouts records later.
......
"Xiao Ruo!"
While Bai Xiaoruo was still looking around blankly, searching for Ji Ziqian, he spotted her at a glance.
The next second, she was completely at a loss as Ji Ziqian hugged her tightly in his arms.
He misses her so much; it's been several months since they last met.
"Hey, Ziqian, let go of me first, I can't breathe."
He held her so tightly that Bai Xiaoruo was afraid he would constrict the baby in her belly.
"Sorry, I'm a little excited to see you."
"It's okay. By the way, Ziqian, didn't you say you were going to have dinner? Let's hurry up, the restaurant will close soon."
"good."
......
In the restaurant.
Ji Ziqian flipped through the menu. Although he had already ordered, he still wanted to order something else for Bai Xiaoruo.
"Xiao Ruo, are you really not going to eat?"
"I've already eaten a lot, so you can eat."
"Well... let me order you a glass of watermelon juice, it used to be your favorite."
"No need, Brother Ziqian, I can't eat such cold foods right now."
"Why? I know, you're worried it'll be too cold, right? I'll have the waiter make it and bring it over directly, without ice."
"No..." Bai Xiaoru lowered her eyes and touched her slightly protruding belly. Her coat was too thick to show anything, but it would be very obvious once she took off her clothes. "I'm pregnant, so I can't drink anything cold. Can you get me a glass of warm water?"
"Thud!"
The menu book in Ji Ziqian's hand fell to the ground with a dull thud.
"What did you say?"
A baby? She's pregnant? Is it that man's child?
How could this be? She and that man had actually progressed to this point; they had a child together!
"Brother Ziqian, didn't Shushu tell you?"
Even his sister knew, but he was the only one kept in the dark.
How ironic!
"Xiao Ruo, you...you're so young, how could you...it must have been that man who forced you, right? Tell me, I'll sue him! This child, this child...you're so young, how can you be a mother!"
“Brother Ziqian, he didn’t force me. This child is something we both wanted. Besides… I’m an adult now, and I will be responsible for my actions. We are husband and wife, and it’s perfectly normal to have each other’s children, right?”
"What kind of husband and wife are you!"
