I didn't have any money on me, and my leg was injured so I couldn't walk fast...
If I were really kicked off the bus, I probably wouldn't be able to walk back until dark.
One minute... five minutes... ten minutes passed, and Xuan Mingyu didn't say a word, making Bai Xiaoruo tremble with fear and dare not utter a sound.
Finally, the bodyguard who had just gotten out of the car suddenly opened the door and came back in, carrying a box. He handed it to Xuan Mingyu and said, "Young Master, everything is taken care of."
"Hmm." Xuan Mingyu took the box but did not open it.
It turned out that the bodyguard had just gotten out of the car to help Xuan Mingyu with something. As for what he was talking about, Bai Xiaoruo couldn't understand it anyway, so she just pretended to be deaf and didn't bother him.
The next second, Xuan Mingyu placed the box in his hand on Bai Xiaoruo's lap. "This is yours. The only number you dialed in your contacts is mine. Remember to save it. You can add whatever you want to the nickname."
"What?" Bai Xiaoruo looked bewildered and quickly opened the box—
Inside, a brand new cell phone and an adorable rabbit pendant lay quietly.
Bai Xiaoruo only looked at it for two seconds before putting the lid back on and returning it to Xuan Mingyu.
"I can't accept this."
“Tell me your reasons.”
She's such a grown woman and doesn't even have a cell phone. Doesn't that make it inconvenient for her to go out? This was only the first time I'd ever given her something, and she refused it without hesitation. I really don't know what Bai Xiaoru is thinking.
"I don't need this... Besides... I don't know how to use it, so you should return it and not waste the money."
Actually, two years ago, Ji Ziqian wanted to give Bai Xiaoruo a cell phone as a birthday gift. However, before he could even start buying one, Bai Xiaoruo refused to accept it. She didn't want Ji Ziqian to spend money and felt that she was too busy with her studies at that time, so a cell phone would be useless. Therefore, Ji Ziqian had to give Bai Xiaoruo a different gift instead.
This year's birthday was still simple. Because she lived at school, Bai Xiaoruo and Ji Shushu bought a small cake together in the dormitory to celebrate. The next day, Ji Ziqian gave Bai Xiaoruo a gift, which was a very delicate crystal bracelet. Bai Xiaoruo liked it very much, but she was worried that it was too expensive and that Ji Ziqian had spent too much money. She asked several times to make sure that the price was very cheap before she dared to accept it. However, she rarely wore it out, for fear of losing it.
In short, Bai Xiaoruo would never accept a gift from anyone, as long as it was valuable.
"I never return things I buy. If you don't accept them, I'll just throw them away."
As he spoke, Xuan Mingyu took the box that Bai Xiaoruo had just returned and actually rolled down the car window, ready to throw it out. Bai Xiaoruo nervously grabbed his hand, "This cost money, after all. It would be such a waste if it broke. If someone else picks it up, they can still use it. Wouldn't that be a great bargain..." It was as if the phone had been bought with Bai Xiaoruo's money. She was extremely distressed and stared intently at the box in Xuan Mingyu's hand, afraid that he would really throw it away in the next second.
"Then I'd be happy to let others benefit from it."
"I don't want to! Don't throw it away! I'll take it, okay?" Bai Xiaoruo quickly snatched the box back and held it tightly to her chest, determined not to let Xian Mingyu lose it.
Although I don't know how to use a mobile phone, I can learn slowly. Anyway, it should be no different from using any other electrical appliance. I can learn by reading the instruction manual.
"How much did you pay for this phone? I'll try my best to find a job after I start working, or during my holidays, and I'll definitely pay you back for the phone."
“Not many, just this number.” Xian Mingyu held up three fingers.
300? No way, how could it be so cheap? This phone looks really high-end, it should cost more than that. Shushu bought a new phone that cost several thousand before. "3000? I will definitely find a way to pay you back, it just will take a while. If you don't believe me, I can give you an IOU."
Xian Mingyu glanced at her, somewhat amused and exasperated. This little girl was still so stubborn about returning his money.
Xuan Mingyu had never cared about such a small amount. 3,000? How could she even think of that? It was far too cheap for the true value of the phone.
Other women would jump for joy upon receiving such a phone, wishing they could immediately smash and throw away their old ones. But Bai Xiaoruo was different. She was either constantly thinking about how to refuse to accept it, or she was preoccupied with repaying Xian Mingyu's money. If he actually accepted her money, what would he be considered? A gigolo?
Thirty thousand.
"W-what? This is way too expensive!" Bai Xiaoruo's eyes widened.
How long would it take me to save up this money? It's so expensive! Why can't he just buy a cheaper one? That way I could use it without feeling guilty.
Bai Xiaoruo was really troubled by suddenly accumulating such a huge debt.
"Go find some paper and pen, I'll write you an IOU."
The more Bai Xiaoruo kept bringing up the matter of repaying the money, the more displeased Xian Mingyu became. "I didn't force you to repay me, Bai Xiaoruo. Are you in such a hurry to sever ties with me?"
"I......"
Xian Mingyu scoffed, "If I had brought you a divorce agreement, would you have signed it so readily?"
divorce?
What serious words.
Bai Xiaoruo had never even considered it.
It's such a shame that they got divorced over just a cell phone.
She couldn't get a divorce. Even if he didn't love her, it didn't matter; she could disregard that. She just couldn't get a divorce; Bai Xiaoruo really didn't want to at all.
