Preparation? What do we need to prepare?
Hsien Ming-yu gradually regained consciousness, although his head still ached from being drunk.
When he saw Bai Xiaoruo, who was covering her disheveled state with a blanket, and his own bare upper body, his disgust for her instantly reached its peak.
Despite his young age, he has quite a few tricks up his sleeve.
What are you doing here?
"I......"
As soon as Bai Xiaoruo opened her mouth, Xuan Mingyu had no interest in listening to her explanation. He got up from the bed and put his shirt and suit back on.
He took his phone out of his suit pocket and called Gu Yao.
Gu Yao, who had already returned home, was lying in bed with the covers on, ready to sleep until dawn when he suddenly received a call from Xian Mingyu, which surprised him.
When I took him back earlier, wasn't he already fast asleep? Even if he was awake, with his newlywed wife by his side, enjoying their sweet time together, would he really have time to call me?
Gu Yao had just answered the phone, and before he could even speak, he heard Xian Mingyu's furious voice on the other end: "I'll give you ten minutes. Come pick me up now."
"What? Pick up...Are you still asleep? Didn't I already take you to your wife? Where are you going so late?"
"Who told you to send me here? Now! Get over here right now!"
Before Gu Yao could finish speaking, the call was disconnected.
Gu Yao looked completely innocent. Could it be that the young couple had a fight so late at night?
If it were just a matter of friendship, Gu Yao honestly wouldn't bother with this kind of thing at this time. But since the other person is his boss, he can't refuse to go.
After hanging up the phone, Xian Mingyu paced back and forth in the room, feeling extremely agitated.
Drinking really does lead to trouble, especially in this situation. If I hadn't woken up, wouldn't I have really had to give in to this woman?
Bai Xiaoruo didn't know if she had done something wrong, or why Xuan Mingyu was so angry. She put on her slip dress, threw back the covers, got up, put on the slippers by the bed, and walked to Xuan Mingyu's side. "What's wrong? I was just too nervous and that's why I said that. I can..."
The moment her hand touched Xian Mingyu's arm, he flung it away without a second of tenderness, saying, "Don't touch me!"
Bai Xiaoruo was so frightened that she took two steps back, trembling with fear, and dared not touch Xian Mingyu again.
She had never had a boyfriend before and didn't know how to please him; she really didn't mean to make him angry.
"I'm sorry, I just..."
Just then, Xuan Mingyu's phone rang. It was Gu Yao calling, so he must have already arrived downstairs.
Xuan Mingyu bypassed Bai Xiaoruo, opened the room door, and went downstairs.
"Where are you going so late? I..."
Bai Xiaoruo followed him out. Just as she reached the door, Xuan Mingyu got into the car and drove away quickly. In the quiet night, only Bai Xiaoruo was left standing there.
The night wind was cool, but Bai Xiaoruo, wearing a thin slip dress and open-toed slippers, felt no cold at all.
At this moment, her heart was far colder than her physical body.
She's not stupid; she can see it.
He left on their wedding night, in a hurry, preferring to leave in the middle of the night rather than stay a minute longer where she was.
He didn't like her, not just disliked her, but loathed her.
Bai Xiaoruo should have known better than anyone else that what more could she expect from a marriage devoid of love from beginning to end?
On her wedding night, she was probably the first bride to be coldly left in the house by her husband.
It's ridiculous, and ironic. Sure enough, the position of the young mistress of the Xian family isn't so easy to hold.
***
Inside the car.
Gu Yao was focused on driving, but couldn't help glancing at Xuan Mingyu sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
"Did you two have a fight? You know better than I do what day it is tonight. Is it really appropriate to leave the bride alone at home like this?"
"Shut up, don't mention her to me..." Xuan Mingyu rubbed his forehead in annoyance. "Take me to Jiangbin, I'll be staying there for the next few days."
Jiang Bin is another villa under Xuan Mingyu's name, and it is also his most private space. Few people come here, and there are no servants to serve him. He only occasionally hires a few hourly workers to clean the house. Because it is close to the city, the surrounding area is very lively, and it is naturally relatively secluded.
Grandpa and Grandma are going on a world tour tomorrow. If Bai Xiaoruo knows what's good for her, she should behave herself as the young mistress of the Xian family, not have too many unrealistic ideas, and not tattle on anything to Grandpa and Grandma.
As long as you don't cause trouble for yourself or cross his bottom line, you can still keep this so-called wife title.
"I see."
Presumably it wasn't a pleasant matter, Gu Yao didn't ask any further questions.
