Xiao Ruo... was chased away?
Yes, how could I forget? Xiao Ru has grown up and is an adult. It's perfectly normal for her to have a boyfriend at this age.
Over the years, Ji Ziqian has only thought about silently protecting Bai Xiaoruo, even if she is not aware of his feelings now, she will understand one day.
But now, has another rival who admires Xiaoruo truly appeared beside her?
If that's the case, I can't easily admit defeat.
"Shushu, you don't need to worry about my affairs. Don't tell Xiaoruo anything. I will tell her myself one day."
"You..." Ji Shushu wanted to say something more, but Ji Ziqian had already gone upstairs.
This blockhead! He's infuriating!
How could Ji Shushu not be anxious?
Xiao Bai is my best friend. Although I hope she can find happiness, no matter how happy she is, she belongs to someone else. But if Bai Xiao Ruo could be with Ji Shu Shu's brother Ji Zi Qian, wouldn't they become a family and be even closer?
Sigh, I wonder when Brother Wood will finally get it.

After listening to Bai Xiaoruo's words, Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen pondered for a long time.
"Little Ruo, is that really what you think?"
"Grandma... I know you and Grandpa are both very good to me, but..." Bai Xiaoruo really didn't know how to continue.
She was afraid of hurting her grandparents' feelings if she spoke too directly, but if things continued like this, Bai Xiaoruo felt she would go crazy. She really just wanted to finish her studies peacefully for the next few years, and if she had the opportunity in the future, she wanted to go abroad and pursue further education.
Lin Suqing wanted to say something more, but Xian Zhengsen pressed her hand down, shook his head, and gestured for her not to be too hasty. "Girl, Grandpa understands. It was indeed a mistake on our part to have you marry Mingyu so hastily at your age... We've agreed to everything you asked for. However, regarding the child, even if we're not in a rush now, it should be about time in a couple of years. I will try my best to reduce Mingyu's workload so he can come back to spend more time with you. You can't refuse that. You two should really nurture your relationship."
"I...I understand, Grandpa."
Developing feelings? Hopefully. Right now, Xuan Mingyu won't even meet Bai Xiaoruo. They were originally two complete strangers who were forced together. Feelings can't develop so quickly.
Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen sat for a while, exchanged a few pleasantries with Bai Xiaoruo, and then went back.
After seeing her grandparents off, Bai Xiaoruo returned to her room on the second floor, closed the door, and let out a long sigh.
She didn't know how long she would have to keep this lie from her grandparents, but after all, she had already married Xian Mingyu and become his wife. Although he didn't like her, she didn't want to expose their awkward and unfamiliar relationship in front of outsiders.

Hsien Ming-yu has just returned from a business trip to City C.
As soon as he entered the office, his secretary, Annie, quickly followed him in.
"President, um... the receptionist called you earlier."
"Turn in."
“This…” Annie hesitated, looking around, but decided to leave the matter to Xian Mingyu for the time being.
She walked up to Xuan Mingyu, lowered her voice, and said with a gossipy expression, "President, the call from the front desk was from President Bai of the Bai Group. Normally, we have no dealings with the Bai Group at all, but today President Bai actually came in person, right in my office. The scariest thing is... President Bai said that he is your father-in-law and has something very important that he needs your help with."
After hearing Annie's words, Xuan Mingyu sneered. The old fox had finally shown his true colors.
Xuan Mingyu knew exactly what Bai Minglei was planning.
"President, you find it funny too, don't you? Do you think that Mr. Bai is missing a screw in his head? Coming here to play the sentimental card, how could he possibly be your father-in-law..." Annie couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Bai Minglei, who was still sitting arrogantly in her office. She was just waiting for the boss to give the order so she could kick him out immediately.
"Go out and bring him in."
"What? Mr. President, but he said..."
Before Annie could finish speaking, Xuan Mingyu interrupted, "It's not easy to come back. If you want to go home and rest again, I'll grant your wish right away."
"No! Absolutely not! I'll bring your father-in-law... oh no, Mr. Bai! I'll invite Mr. Bai in right away."
Annie turned and quickly walked out. Since she was back, she had to be more careful and not make the boss angry again.
As Annie walked out of Xuan Mingyu's office, she was still thinking to herself: The boss neither confirmed nor told her to kick Bai Minglei out immediately, so what did he mean by calling him in?
Could it really be my father-in-law?!
But when did the boss get married? I had no idea at all?
Looks like I'll have to ask Gu Yao later.
