Bai Xiaoruo awkwardly hid behind Xian Mingyu, saying, "Hello."
Chi Hao was somewhat amused and exasperated. He didn't look like a fierce or menacing person, did he? Why was Yu's little wife so afraid of him? "Hello, I'm Chi Hao. Yu and I are good friends. I attended your wedding too." He extended his hand to shake Bai Xiaoruo's.
The next second, someone next to Bai Xiaoru slapped away Chi Hao's outstretched hand.
"No need for a handshake."
Chi Hao rolled his eyes at Xuan Mingyu and withdrew his hand, saying, "Look at you, so stingy."
Are you afraid he'll steal his wife?
"Mingyu~ You haven't been here in so long~ Come, come, have some tea, I just brewed it."
At this moment, a tall and sweet girl with big wavy hair walked over and immediately took Xian Mingyu's arm, trying to pull him to the other side.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaoruo was not happy.
Where did this admirer of his come from? She's still standing here, is she pretending she doesn't exist?
Bai Xiaoruo's face turned red with anger. She glared at Xuan Mingyu beside her, thinking, "He dares to go with me, let's see what happens!"
If she had known his admirer was here, she would never have come here to buy a dress.
Mu Qingyan, who was holding onto Xuan Mingyu's arm, glanced at Bai Xiaoruo beside him and asked, "Mingyu, who is this?"
She answered her own question with delight: "Oh~ I know, you must be the little girl my husband mentioned, right? Hello~ It's nice to meet you~" She generously extended her hand to Bai Xiaoruo.
"Husband?" Bai Xiaoruo was a little confused. Who was she calling?
"Yeah, hasn't Mingyu mentioned me to you?"
Bai Xiaoruo glanced at Xuan Mingyu beside her. He's quite something, isn't he? He's got a harem, with several wives. She thought Su Yuluo was enough of a headache, but now another one has appeared.
She scoffed, "He never said that. I only found out today that his harem is much larger than I imagined!"
"Huh? Does he have a harem?" Mu Qingyan asked curiously. It was the first time she had met Bai Xiaoruo, and why did she seem to have some kind of problem with her?
Seeing Bai Xiaoruo's sullen expression, Xuan Mingyu knew that the little girl must have misunderstood.
Before he could explain, Mu Qingyan continued, "Logically speaking, it wouldn't be unreasonable for me to call you sister-in-law, would it?"
"Sister-in-law?" Bai Xiaoruo was completely dumbfounded.
How did she become his sister-in-law again? She's not Xian Mingyu's...
"You two aren't..." she voiced her question.
"Not what?" Mu Qingyan instantly understood Bai Xiaoruo's doubts. "Oh dear, you misunderstood. Mingyu is my junior. I've always treated him like a younger brother. How could I have any improper thoughts about him?" Mu Qingyan hugged Chi Hao, who was standing next to her. "He is my husband."
Chi Hao nodded with a nonchalant expression. "That's right. Yu, how long have you two been married? Haven't you mentioned us to your wife yet?"
Mu Qingyan is a year older than Xuan Mingyu and they were classmates at the same high school, so she naturally became his senior. At that time, they were both members of the student council, so they were quite close. Chi Hao and Xuan Mingyu met in college and were roommates at first. After Xuan Mingyu got together with Su Yuluo, he moved out. Later, when Chi Hao won Mu Qingyan's heart and introduced her to his friends, he learned about the relationship between Xuan Mingyu and Mu Qingyan.
It's quite a coincidence.
When Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu got married, only Chi Hao attended. Mu Qingyan was heavily pregnant and about to give birth in a month, so it was inconvenient for her to attend. All her impressions of Bai Xiaoruo came from what Chi Hao had heard about her after attending the wedding. Today, she finally saw her in person.
Although the store is registered under Chi Hao's name, the actual head designer is Mu Qingyan. Her childhood dream was to create her own brand and design all kinds of beautiful clothes. Chi Hao went to great lengths to cater to Mu Qingyan's tastes in order to win her over.
Every piece of clothing and every detail here was designed by Mu Qingyan herself; Chi Hao only provided her with financial assistance.
Mu Qingyan affectionately took Bai Xiaoruo's hand and asked, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"Hello, sister. My name is Bai Xiaoruo. I'm sorry, I misunderstood you earlier." Bai Xiaoruo was a little embarrassed. She had been thinking of her as a rival in love, but she didn't expect that she was actually Xian Mingyu's senior.
"Bai Xiaoruo? What a cute name~ It sounds like a little white rabbit," Mu Qingyan then noticed Bai Xiaoruo's slightly protruding belly. "Are you pregnant too? How many months along are you? Mingyu is really something, he's so tight-lipped, he didn't even tell us about something this big." Mu Qingyan gave Xuan Mingyu next to Bai Xiaoruo a reproachful look.
"also?"
"Yes, you can't tell yet, can you? I'm pregnant too! I just found out a few days ago at the hospital. I'm only ten weeks along, still very small compared to you," Mu Qingyan said, patting her flat belly with a happy expression. This is her second baby; her firstborn is still playing in his crib. "Xiao Ruo, would you like to see my baby? He's very lively now and loves pretty girls the most."
Bai Xiaoruo nodded. "I thought so. So you have another baby."
"Yes, come here, I'll take you there."
Hsien Ming-yu and Chi Hao followed behind them.
Originally, she brought Bai Xiaoruo to buy a dress, but unexpectedly, she ended up playing with the carefree Mu Qingyan.
