Lu Xinyao stood among the crowd, having witnessed everything that had just happened.
It's a real shame that this farce ended so abruptly; it was hardly entertaining.
Playing the victim to gain sympathy is fine once or twice, but if it's done every time, everyone will get tired of it.
It's all Su Yulu's fault for being too impatient; she's completely ruining her plans.
No sooner had Bai Xiaoruo run out than Xuan Mingyu chased after her. Now, it was hard to tell whose act was more dramatic.
"Yaoyao, what are you looking at? Come here, Daddy will introduce you to a friend." Lu Qianhao walked to Lu Xinyao's side, having searched for her for a long time at the banquet before finally finding her.
"What do you mean by 'meeting friends'? It's clearly Lu Qianhao trying to introduce her to a guy." Lu Xinyao looked helpless and a little impatient. "Daddy, I've told you so many times, no matter how outstanding other men are, I won't want them except for Xian Mingyu!"
"Tsk, you silly girl, how can you talk like that? Daddy is doing this for your own good. Guangxi, the eldest son of the Guang family, is the same age as you. You two will definitely have a lot in common. Why do you have to hang yourself on that vine? You should quit Qingxian as soon as possible. No matter how much you do, that Xianmingyu will never even look at you. That kind of person is not worth your affection at all."
This wasn't the first time Lu Qianhao had asked Lu Xinyao to leave Qingxian, and he had even planned various options for her, but Lu Xinyao was stubborn and insisted on staying by Xianmingyu's side, and Lu Qianhao couldn't persuade her.
“Daddy, I know in my heart whether it’s worth it or not. So what if he marries that Bai Xiaoruo? That kind of lowly woman doesn’t deserve him! Give me a little more time, and I’m sure I can get that bitch out of Xian Mingyu’s life!”
Lu Xinyao had her own plans. She refused to believe that Bai Xiaoruo could always be protected perfectly by Xuan Mingyu!
That bitch, and that damned bastard in her belly, she'll get rid of both of those obstacles!
***
Bai Xiaoruo sat by the fountain in the hotel's back courtyard, resting her chin on her hand and sighing repeatedly.
This was at least thirty sighs from her.
I still feel terrible and don't know where to go.
No matter how hard I try, nothing changes.
Her mind was filled with the words Su Yuluo had said to her at the banquet, each word like a needle pricking her.
"I know you didn't push that woman down, so why are you so gloomy?"
who?
A man's voice!
Bai Xiaoruo was startled and quickly turned around. When she saw the man standing next to her, she awkwardly stood up and took two steps back.
In the dim light, one could vaguely make out the man's handsome face, his high nose bridge, and the wicked smile on his lips. What was most striking were his dark green eyes, whether he was wearing colored contact lenses or it was his natural eye color, it was hard to tell. A black suit wrapped around his tall figure, which was neither fat nor thin.
Bai Xiaoruo looked at the man in front of her and felt that he was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
"Who are you......"
"What? You don't remember me after just two days? I saved you at the airport exit."
"Oh! I remember now, it's you." Because he was wearing sunglasses that day, Bai Xiaoruo didn't get a good look at his face. She didn't expect to run into him here again.
What a coincidence!
"Sir, thank you so much for what happened that day." Bai Xiaoruo bowed to him gratefully. If it weren't for his timely appearance, who knows how long those people would have kept bothering her.
She wanted to bow again, but the man grabbed her hand. "That's enough. I really can't accept another bow from you."
"Well, okay then." Bai Xiaoru hurriedly pulled her hand away from the man's and kept a certain distance from him.
Now that she's a married woman, it's not appropriate for her to be so intimate with him in public. If someone with ulterior motives sees this, they'll start making a big fuss about it.
"Sir, are you also a guest attending the banquet today?"
"Yes. Sweetie, you came alone?"
"No, I came with my husband."
"Husband? You're married?" There was a hint of regret in the man's eyes. He had just started to meet an interesting woman, and now she already belonged to someone else.
"Um... sir, you..."
Before Bai Xiaoruo could finish speaking, the man suddenly reached out a finger and lightly touched her lips, stopping her from speaking. "I don't like you calling me that."
"Uh, okay... but I still don't know what to call you."
"My surname is Guang, and my given name is Xi."
"Guangxi? Your name is so unique." Bai Xiaoruo was a little surprised as it was the first time she had heard such a name.
Achoo!
Perhaps because she was dressed too lightly when she came out, Bai Xiaoruo suddenly sneezed, her body shivered, and she realized that she was a little cold.
It's only early spring, and the cold wind is still biting.
Guangxi took off his suit jacket and draped it over Bai Xiaoruo's shoulders.
Bai Xiaoruo was initially a little resistant and didn't dare to wear his clothes. "No need, Mr. Guang, I'm fine."
"Put it on, it would be too ungentlemanly of me to let the girl catch a cold."
"Well... okay then, thank you."
She was initially very embarrassed, after all, these were men's clothes, and if Xian Mingyu saw them, he would definitely throw a tantrum at her again.
