"What are you saying?" Xuan Mingyu pressed Bai Xiaoruo's shoulders, turning her to face him.
She can vent whatever emotions she has or whatever dissatisfaction she has with him.
She just wants to smash things and tear down the house; she'll do whatever she wants as long as it makes her happy.
But what Xuan Mingyu couldn't stand the most was her cold attitude towards him.
She treated him like an insignificant stranger, or even an enemy, repeatedly testing the limits of his tolerance for her.
What exactly is she trying to do?
Bai Xiaoruo remained silent.
Her bright eyes were fixed on Xian Mingyu's eyes, staring intently until, finally, sadness welled up in her eyes and her eyes gradually moistened.
"If I told you I was tired and fed up with being your obedient little wife, would you let me go?"
Xuan Mingyu was taken aback.
He gently released Bai Xiaoruo's shoulders.
What did she say?
Let her go?
How is that possible?
How could he bear to part with that?
It took him a lot of effort to finally make up his mind to change for her, and it took him a lot of effort to convince his former proud self to be so submissive and attentive to a woman for the first time.
Even when he was with Su Yuluo, aside from money and tolerating her willfulness, he had never been so careful.
He was afraid she would be bullied, afraid she would be wronged, afraid she would be in pain or uncomfortable, afraid she would be depressed or unhappy, afraid she would be afraid to be alone, afraid she would feel anxious and helpless. Even if he worked hard and was tired, often couldn't sleep well or eat, and traveled all over the world on business, he would rush back to her side overnight.
And now, they have finally gotten to where they are today.
After they confessed their feelings for each other, he became increasingly inseparable from her.
She was pregnant with their baby.
Isn't that far from enough?
He did so much, yet still couldn't win her over?
How could she say such a thing so easily?
From beginning to end, she only thought about herself. Did she ever think about him?
"Absolutely impossible!"
Let her go? Dream on!
Unless he dies... no, even if he dies, she will still be his wife, Xuan Mingyu's wife, for the rest of her life!
Bai Xiaoru chuckled twice, "Then there's nothing more to say between us."
She shook off Xian Mingyu's hand once again, turned around, and walked out of the room.
Going down the stairs, every step felt like a knife cutting into my heart.
She was the one who said those harsh words first, and she was the one who wanted to distance herself from him first, so why should she feel sad?
Why must we torment each other? Why does loving someone cause so much pain and require so much sacrifice?
He was still entangled with Su Yulu, and he had witnessed their ambiguous relationship with his own eyes, so why was he still so considerate and attentive to me as if nothing had happened?
Did she misjudge him, or did she never really understand which one was the real him?
***
Tonight's dinner was the quietest they had ever had together.
They each ate their own food, and neither of them spoke.
Xian Mingyu stopped serving Bai Xiaoruo food and tried to coax her gently.
She completely ignored him, and after finishing her meal, she went upstairs alone, supporting her back.
After finishing his meal, Xuan Mingyu went upstairs, but Bai Xiaoruo went into the bedroom while Xuan Mingyu went into the study.
Seeing that the two of them were still at an impasse, Uncle Bi and Aunt Qin were really worried about the young couple's relationship.
What exactly happened?
The master and mistress are coming back next month, and they're still at odds. What are we going to do?
Both sides are like ticking time bombs, and neither side can easily advise the other.
It's up to the two of them to slowly bring each other back together and gradually make things better.
......
11 p.m.
Hsien Ming-yu went back to his bedroom to sleep.
When he opened the door, he found that Bai Xiaoruo was not in the room.
There was no one in the bathroom.
Where did she go so late?
He went downstairs and knocked on Aunt Qin's door.
"What is it, young master?" Aunt Qin had obviously gone to bed, but was suddenly woken up by his knocking and had no choice but to open the door and come out.
"Where's Bai Xiaoruo? Why isn't she in her room?"
Thinking that she had sneaked out again and would surely pass by downstairs, Xuan Mingyu decided to ask Aunt Qin first.
"This..." Aunt Qin hesitated for a moment. "Young master, the young mistress said that starting tonight, she wants to sleep in a separate room from you. From now on, the master bedroom will be yours, and she will sleep in the guest room. She just asked me to tidy up the guest room for her two hours ago."
"What?"
Sleeping in separate rooms?
Did she get his permission before she acted on her own initiative?
Okay, okay!
She likes to sleep in the guest room, right? Then let her sleep as much as she wants!
He refused to believe it; he couldn't sleep without her.
From now on, she can sleep wherever she wants; he won't care if she sleeps on the floor.
Bai Xiaoruo, I'd like to see how long you can keep arguing with me!
***
From that night on, Xuan Mingyu really relaxed his control over Bai Xiaoruo completely.
Whether it's day or night, she is free to go wherever she wants and do whatever she wants.
She just wanted Uncle Bi to drive her out, and Xuan Mingyu never questioned it.
As long as she doesn't pack her bags and as long as he still has her ID card, he has no interest in checking her location, no matter where she wants to go.
Although the two lived under the same roof, they never spoke a word to each other again, not even exchanging glances.
