Besides, she's not someone to be trifled with; she'll fight back.
Su Yulu isn't the only one who knows how to feign pitifulness to gain sympathy.
Bai Xiaoruo pulled up her long-sleeved pajamas and handed them to Xian Mingyu to show him her wrist, which had been scratched red by Su Yuluo. "She kept pulling me and wouldn't let me leave, and she scratched my hand until it was all red... I almost fell down because of her. If I had fallen down, the baby would have been lost, and you wouldn't have had a son or a wife."
"Is that so?" Xuan Mingyu touched the red mark on her wrist with concern. "Does it still hurt?"
"It hurt, it hurt so much! I almost cried, but I couldn't find you anywhere." Bai Xiaoruo certainly wouldn't miss the chance to act cute. Her voice was soft and sweet, and her big, round eyes blinked, making her look incredibly pitiful.
Hearing Bai Xiaoruo say that, Xuan Mingyu's heart clenched in pain.
It's all his fault. He shouldn't have let her go find something to eat alone, otherwise she wouldn't have been bullied.
The red mark on her wrist couldn't possibly have been caused by Bai Xiaoru pinching herself.
I never imagined that Luo'er would turn out like this.
"Honey, hug me." Bai Xiaoruo reached out her arms for Xuan Mingyu to hug her.
"Okay, hug me." He carried her to the bed, pulled the blanket over her exposed little feet to keep them warm.
"Does it still hurt a lot? I'll go get some medicine for you to apply."
"Hmm, no need for ointment, just give me a kiss." She held her wrist to his lips.
Xian Mingyu looked at Bai Xiaoruo's outstretched hand with a wry smile, "Is it really that simple?"
"yes."
He gently held her wrist and kissed the red mark. "Is it all done?"
"Almost there."
He gave her another kiss, "Are you done yet?"
"It seems like it's still a little short."
Seeing her smug smile, Xuan Mingyu instantly understood Bai Xiaoruo's intention in acting coquettishly.
She didn't actually have a wrist pain; this little rascal was already resorting to tricks. He pinched her soft, white face. "Kissing your wrist won't work. I have a more effective method."
"What... um." Before she could finish speaking, he leaned in and kissed her slightly parted lips.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist, deepening the kiss. Bai Xiaoruo didn't flinch; she wrapped her arms around his neck, closed her eyes, and responded shyly.
After a long kiss, he held the person in his arms and kissed her again. "Be a good girl and go to sleep tonight. I have to go out for a while and may be back late. You don't need to wait for me."
Bai Xiaoruo tugged at his sleeve, not wanting him to leave. "Where are you going? Are you going to see Su Yuluo? If you go to see her, I'll never talk to you again."
"It's not to see her, it's work."
"Really? You're not lying to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, I guarantee I'm going to work."
He held up his little finger, wanting to make a pinky promise with her.
"Okay, then be careful on the road. If you really have to drink, don't drink too much." Bai Xiaoruo also raised her little finger and gently hooked it with Xian Mingyu's finger. Then, they both gave each other a thumbs-up.
This was their mutual promise; they meant what they said and wouldn't lie.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."
After covering Bai Xiaoruo with a blanket and coaxing her to fall asleep, Xuan Mingyu got up and left.
