Every time she sits in the car, Bai Xiaoruo pays special attention to the scenery outside the window.
Throughout the journey, Xuan Mingyu and Bai Xiaoruo remained silent.
until--
The car was taking a route that was increasingly deviating from Bai Xiaoruo's original way home, which made her suspicious. Where was it going? Was it taking a different route back?
"Where are you taking me? Aren't we going home?"
"Uncle Bi is still in the hospital, and Aunt Qin is too busy taking care of him to think she can spare the time to serve you."
"The hospital? What happened to Uncle Bi? What's wrong?"
"Don't talk so much nonsense if it's none of your business." He glanced at the little girl beside him, his gaze finally settling on a certain spot. "Don't worry, a little thing like you with absolutely no talent wouldn't be worth much if you were sold. I won't lay a hand on you."
Bai Xiaoruo noticed where Xuan Mingyu's eyes were staring and quickly covered it with her hand, saying, "You're the little one!"
That guy is really bad!
Just a few minutes ago, I felt so warm inside when he hugged me. Humph! I never imagined he had other ideas!
"Oh?" Xuan Mingyu raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to Bai Xiaoruo beside him. "Have you seen it? Or...experienced it?"
"You!" Even if Bai Xiaoruo was stupid, she could understand the other meaning in Xuan Mingyu's words. She blushed and hurriedly pushed him away with both hands, "I didn't!"
She accidentally aggravated her thigh injury, and the pain made Bai Xiaoruo instantly go limp and dare not move anymore.
It hurts!
When will I ever get better? I'm so useless!
"I'll have the doctor come and check on you again when we get back." Seeing her worried little face all day, Xian Mingyu felt inexplicably annoyed.
He didn't know what had gotten into him. Uncle Bi and Aunt Qin weren't home, and there were other servants in the house, but he still decided to take Bai Xiaoruo to his own private villa. Apart from his Luo'er, he had never taken any other woman there before.
He could have simply abandoned Bai Xiaoruo in a hospital or some remote mountain village to fend for herself, but... thinking about how it's been over three months since their wedding, and he's neglected her for just as long, she's never complained or made a fuss. Aside from the Xuan family covering some miscellaneous school expenses, she's never asked him for money. Unlike those extravagant socialites who wear gold and silver or designer clothes every day, she always wears the most ordinary cheap clothes, without even a decent piece of jewelry.
She had no airs whatsoever, nor any haughty arrogance; she was not at all like the young mistress of the Xian family should have.
Therefore, Xuan Mingyu believes that since his Luo'er has already married someone else and even become a mother, shouldn't he slowly accept reality?
Even if you don't love this little girl, you don't necessarily have to keep ignoring her.
***
The car came to a smooth stop at the entrance, and Xuan Mingyu personally carried Bai Xiaoru out of the car, with his bodyguards following closely behind.
In fact, this private villa is not luxurious at all; in fact, it is rather desolate.
There are no servants to order around, and no hot meals to cook for you. Apart from freedom, quiet, and the occasional disturbance from a part-time housekeeper, the atmosphere here is just an ordinary house that can shelter you from the wind and rain, much like the home of an ordinary family.
This was once the home that Xuan Mingyu wanted to prepare for him and Su Yuluo, a home that belonged to the two of them.
Few people know about this place, so it's safe, relaxing, and carefree.
Now, only Xuan Mingyu remains. Apart from those fragmented memories, his Luo'er is no longer the same person he once was.
Xuan Mingyu carried Bai Xiaoruo directly upstairs to his room, saving her from running around and causing trouble.
I called the family doctor on the way here, and we'll be there soon.
A few minutes later, before the family doctor arrived, the takeout that Hsien Ming-yu had his bodyguard order randomly was delivered.
Three bodyguards came in carrying several bags of food and placed them next to the bed so that Bai Xiaoruo could easily reach them.
Since they didn't know what Bai Xiaoruo liked to eat, they just bought whatever they could find, following Xuan Mingyu's instructions.
They offer wontons, fried noodles, kebabs, fast food boxes, millet porridge, pizza, bread, and all sorts of delicate snacks.
It's not that Xian Mingyu can't cook; it's just that he once swore that he would only cook for his Luo'er, the only woman in his life. Apart from her, even if he went into the kitchen again, it would only be to cook for himself, and no one else was included.
Anyway, Xiao Ruo is only staying here for one night, and someone will send her back tomorrow. There's no need to go to the trouble of finding a chef to cook for her.
"This is all your dinner. I have something to do, I'll come see you later," before leaving the room, Xuan Mingyu added one last thing: "No matter what happens, no matter how curious you are, you absolutely cannot go to the third room on the left, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Why?"
Xuan Mingyu did not answer Bai Xiaoruo's question, but left the room and closed the door behind him.
After he left, Bai Xiaoruo was left all alone again.
Actually, I was quite nervous because this was my first time visiting his private villa and his private room.
He probably spent those days and nights lying here instead of going home to sleep.
The room had a gloomy and dull atmosphere, consisting mainly of black and white, which was monotonous and lacked any aesthetic appeal.
Are all boys' rooms like this?
