9 p.m.
Bai Xiaoruo walked out of the bathroom humming a song after taking a shower.
I'll comb my hair a little longer and then I can go to sleep.
Tomorrow is my first day back at school, so I can't be late.
As she sat down at her vanity to pick up a comb and brush her hair, the light from the French windows suddenly caught her attention.
What happened?
Bai Xiaoruo got up, walked to the French windows, opened the window, and stepped onto the balcony.
At this moment, in the starry night, the sky is filled with countless Kongming lanterns that have been released.
What a nice view.
Why would anyone release a sky lantern at this time?
Bai Xiaoruo looked down and saw two dark figures squatting at the front door of her house, fiddling around and releasing Kongming lanterns from there.
It was too dark to see the faces of the two figures.
Who's so bored as to come to someone's doorstep and put these things there so late at night?
Bai Xiaoruo decided to go downstairs and take a look.
She used her key to open the large iron gate outside the courtyard, went outside, and looked around.
There was nothing there, not a single person in sight.
Could I have misread it?
She had just turned around to go back to sleep when a tall figure suddenly grabbed her from behind and hugged her tightly.
Bai Xiaoruo was startled and struggled to get up. "Let me go! Let me go... mmm!" Before she could shout for help, her mouth was covered.
"Shh! Don't shout, it's me." He couldn't let her call everyone over, otherwise everything he had done tonight would be for nothing.
Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Bai Xiaoruo instantly realized who it was.
Who could it be? It was him again!
This is never going to end! Are all the terms in the divorce agreement meaningless?
She stomped her slipper hard backward, and the man holding her from behind turned pale with pain and had no choice but to let go of her.
"I just hugged you, did you have to kick me so hard?"
My feet really hurt. When did this girl become so rude?
"Serves you right! Who told you to take advantage of me!" Bai Xiaoru glared at Xuan Mingyu angrily. "I'm warning you, this is the last time! If you touch me like this again, I'll castrate you!"
She wasn't joking with him.
Does he even understand what divorce means? Two people who have completely severed all ties should have no further contact.
So what is he doing right now?
What's the point of coming back to her?
Not wanting to waste any more words with Xian Mingyu or face him again, Bai Xiaoruo quickly ran back to the courtyard.
Just as I was about to close the iron gate—
"Wait a minute! Ouch!"
Xian Mingyu couldn't outrun her; his hand got caught in the crack of the iron gate just as she closed it, and his palm was pinched hard.
Realizing she had pinched him, Bai Xiaoruo quickly opened the door.
"What happened? How's your hand?" She was so frightened that she quickly grabbed his hand that had just been pinched and examined it carefully.
A deep red mark was left in the middle of my palm, and the skin was broken.
Seeing the pained expression on his face, Bai Xiaoruo panicked. "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. Are you stupid? Why did you block the door with your hand?"
It must have hurt a lot, right? She accidentally hurt him again.
Bai Xiaoruo held Xian Mingyu's hand and blew on it, hoping it would make him feel better.
She had just looked up when she realized that Xian Mingyu's eyes were fixed on her.
Bai Xiaoruo felt a little awkward under his gaze, so she put his hand down and resumed her previous indifference. "You should go back and apply some medicine. I'm going back too."
"Don't go!"
He had just grabbed her hand when Bai Xiaoruo was startled and quickly pulled away, "Don't touch me!"
How many times does she have to tell him before he stops bothering her?
Last time, I went back with him because my grandfather was sick. What reason did he have to come here so late at night this time?
Bai Xiaoruo took two steps back, keeping her distance from the man in front of her. "I'm begging you, please don't come here again. Otherwise, I'll move immediately and leave L City. Are you satisfied now?"
"Do you have to do this to me?" He pressed down on her shoulders, eager to explain, "Bai Xiaoruo, listen to me, Su Yuluo and I really have nothing left. It all ended six years ago. Didn't you want to know why I married you back then? Fine, I'll tell you now—"
"That's because the day before I agreed to go to your house, Grandpa told me that Su Yuluo had married someone else and had children during the six years since she left me."
“I thought I would marry no one but her in this life. I thought I would never fall in love with anyone else but her. But I never expected that the reason she left me was because of betrayal... I was really powerless at the time. I had no choice but to accept that fact. In the end, I decided to follow my grandfather's arrangement and marry you.”
"When Su Yuluo first came back to my side, I wavered and struggled. I even thought about bringing forward the divorce agreement. But in the end, I still couldn't do it. I fell in love with you. I can't live without you. It's not because you are a substitute for anyone else. You are the only person I want."
"You, what you said... is it all true?"
So, this was his real reason for wanting to marry her?
Su Yuluo... she's actually been married... and even had a child...
That woman is absolutely terrifying...
How many unknown secrets does she still hold?
“It’s true, I really didn’t lie to you. If you don’t believe me, you can come back with me and ask Grandpa, or you can even investigate it yourself. I didn’t lie to you, and I have no reason to lie to you.”
