Day after day, a week passed, and the relationship between Xuan Mingyu and Bai Xiaoruo still seemed to be delicate.
Aside from their wedding night, he never returned to this home, and Bai Xiaoruo lived her quiet life.
I went to and from school as usual, did my homework in the evening, and used my free time to draw.
Aunt Qin often tried to persuade Bai Xiaoruo to get along well with Xian Mingyu, but Bai Xiaoruo wouldn't listen. Since he didn't like living here or seeing her, what was the point of forcing him?
I heard he's gone on another business trip, and he'll be gone for several weeks. Bai Xiaoruo thought, maybe this marriage will just stay like this forever.
Since Bai Xiaofu went to prison, Xiao Yaran has not caused her any more trouble. The incident in Lan Di seems to have faded away with time.
Bai Xiaoruo gradually felt that her current life was a new beginning for her.
However, everything here was given to her by the Xian family, and it's impossible for her to just sit there as a young mistress forever.
Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen returned from their trip and went straight to Bai Xiaoruo and Xian Mingyu's newlywed villa without even saying hello.
Bai Xiaoruo was watering the plants in the courtyard when she saw her grandparents dressed in exotic clothing. She was so startled that she almost dropped the watering can.
“Little Ruo, our baby~ We’re back~” Lin Suqing walked excitedly to Bai Xiaoruo and hugged her tightly.
Bai Xiaoruo was still stunned and at a loss.
"How have you been lately, my little darling? Have you been having a sweet time?" Lin Suqing released Bai Xiaoruo and looked at her still flat stomach with a meaningful gaze.
"Grandma, I..."
"It's windy here, let's go inside and talk, so my precious great-grandson doesn't get cold~" Lin Suqing carefully helped Bai Xiaoruo into the house, with Xuan Zhengsen following behind, along with three bodyguards carrying gifts in their hands.
Bai Xiaoruo was ashamed. What kind of precious great-grandson was this? Grandma's imagination was a bit too rich.
As soon as she entered the house and sat on the sofa, Lin Suqing began to introduce the gifts she had brought to Bai Xiaoruo one by one.
"This is imported goat milk. Little Ruo, you're too thin, drink more to supplement your nutrition... And these are all kinds of nutritional supplements that are good for mothers trying to conceive. And these... I've carefully researched them all; they're all excellent guides for mothers trying to conceive. They're very detailed, and there are also baby guides and pregnant mother guides... Little Ruo, you should take a look when you have time. And... these little clothes," Lin Suqing gently stroked the sets of adorable baby clothes, even clothes for toddlers. The more she looked, the more she liked them, her face beaming with joy. "I saw these while shopping and couldn't resist going in to take a look. I really liked them at first sight and thought I'd buy them first. Babies grow so fast; they'll grow up so quickly. We need to prepare clothes for different age groups, and..."
"Okay, Grandma, stop talking. I... I'll take it all."
Grandma bought so many things for the baby, which made Bai Xiaoru feel even more guilty. She didn't know how to tell Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen the truth.
My grandparents are really good to me, but... I'm afraid I'll disappoint them as their granddaughter-in-law.
Half a month has passed, and she and Xian Mingyu are still like strangers, each living their own lives.
"Xiao Ruo, has Mingyu been bullying you lately? Is he good to you? He doesn't have to go to work today, it's the weekend, why don't I see him at home?" Lin Suqing lovingly took Bai Xiao Ruo's hand.
“He…he’s fine. Mingyu is away on a business trip these days, so Grandpa and Grandma won’t be able to see him.”
"Another business trip?" Lin Suqing looked at Xian Zhengsen sitting next to her with some dissatisfaction. "What's wrong with you? You know that the young couple has only been married for a short time, so why do you keep sending Mingyu on business trips? At this rate, when will my precious great-grandchild be born into this world?"
"Well... these are the busiest times for all the branch offices lately, so it was unavoidable for Mingyu to go and help out." Faced with his wife's questioning, Xuan Zhengsen looked aggrieved.
"With so many companies, isn't it exhausting for Mingyu to keep running around like this? Don't the companies have any other candidates who can substitute? If Mingyu has to do everything himself, won't he eventually fall ill from overwork? Will you only step in then?"
Hsien Cheng-sen helplessly comforted his wife: "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I'll explain it in a bit. Let Mingyu finish his work in the next few days and then I won't let him go on business trips anymore."
Lin Suqing has always doted on Xian Mingyu the most, cherishing him since he was a child. However, since Xian Mingyu started elementary school, Xian Zhengsen has begun to strictly manage him according to the Xian family rules. The usually cheerful and active Xiao Mingyu has gradually lost his smile.
It was only after meeting Su Yuluo during his university years that his originally dark and cold world was filled with vibrant colors.
"Grandma, Grandpa, Mingyu is away on a business trip, after all. Please don't be like this. I'm really fine. I'll take good care of him and make sure he doesn't get sick."
"Silly child, do you think your grandfather and I can't tell whether he's good to you or not? Sigh, Xiaoruo, you've really suffered. But Mingyu isn't a bad person at heart. He just hasn't let go of the past yet. In the future, he'll understand how good you are to him." Lin Suqing also understood that Bai Xiaoruo must have suffered a lot when they suddenly arranged for her to marry Xian Mingyu. She was so young, and Xian Mingyu still couldn't forget Su Yuluo.
Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen genuinely believe that Xian Mingyu will one day like Bai Xiaoruo as much as they do. She is kind and sensible, and compared to Su Yuluo's scheming and selfishness, Bai Xiaoruo is more suitable to be the young mistress of the Xian family.
