Xuan Mingyu glanced at the little guy in Bai Xiaoruo's arms with slight disdain, not daring to get too close. "Why is he drooling so much?"
Since Mu Qingyan gave birth to Xiao Dou Dou, Chi Hao has become a stay-at-home dad, often taking Xiao Dou Dou out to play. Xuan Mingyu has also seen the little guy many times.
Whether watching Chi Hao skillfully change Xiao Dou Dou's diaper or feeding him milk powder, Xuan Mingyu would run as far away as possible and never get close.
To him, the baby was like a little devil, either crying endlessly or making a fuss, which was terrifying just to think about.
Giving in to Bai Xiaoruo and letting her keep the baby was already his biggest concession, but expecting him to take care of the baby every day like a full-time stay-at-home dad is absolutely impossible!
Mu Qingyan took the little guy's bib and wiped his drool. "He's about to grow teeth, so of course he drools a lot. Another reason is that he likes Xiao Ruo too much. He drools whenever he sees a pretty girl."
"Really? You like me? I like you too." Bai Xiaoruo tugged at his chubby little hand. Facing the adorable baby, her voice softened considerably. The little guy smelled sweetly of milk, and his plump body was simply irresistible.
Seeing how much Bai Xiaoruo liked this little one, and thinking that in a few months she might be carrying his little rival, Xuan Mingyu's face darkened. How could she like someone else? Not even this little brat!
Xuan Mingyu took the baby from Bai Xiaoruo's arms and handed it back to Chi Hao, saying, "Keep an eye on your son and don't let him have any improper thoughts about my wife."
As a result, as soon as Xiao Dou Dou left Bai Xiao Ruo's arms, he burst into tears. Chi Hao couldn't soothe him, and he only behaved when he was held by Mu Qing Yan.
Bai Xiaoruo was speechless. "Look at you, you made him cry. How old is he? What nonsense are you spouting?"
While coaxing Xiao Dou Dou, Mu Qingyan teased, "Mingyu, you can't say that. If Xiao Ruo were carrying a girl, you might still be holding her and not wanting to let go."
Xian Mingyu put his arm around Bai Xiaoruo and said, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, Xiaoruo is mine alone."
Mu Qingyan and Chi Hao exchanged a glance. Oh my, who would have thought? It turns out that someone is so possessive. The baby hasn't even been born yet, and he's already afraid that someone will steal his wife away.
"It's getting late, Qingyan. Help her pick out a suitable dress. We're going to a banquet tonight."
"Okay~ I'll take care of it. I'll make sure your wife looks gorgeous. Not only will our little Dou Dou drool, but you'll be drooling too." Mu Qingyan handed the now-stopped Dou Dou to Chi Hao and pulled Bai Xiaoruo to pick out a dress.
......
"Xiao Ruo, just tell me what kind of dress you like, and I guarantee I'll find one you like."
Bai Xiaoruo followed Mu Qingyan, looking around as they walked, occasionally touching the dresses that passed by; each one looked so beautiful.
Actually, she doesn't have many demands now. Her belly is getting bigger and her waist is getting thicker. She only wears one outfit to banquets, so she just wants something simple.
"Anything is fine, as long as it's not too revealing."
"Don't worry, even if you wanted to expose yourself, I wouldn't dare let you," Mu Qingyan glanced at Xuan Mingyu, who was still chatting with Chi Hao on the sofa outside. "Your partner wouldn't allow it."
Bai Xiaoru just smiled. That's true. She didn't need to say it. If it were really revealing, Xian Mingyu would never have let her wear it out.
That guy is incredibly domineering; he wants to control everything.
In the end, Mu Qingyan chose a light pink floor-length dress for Bai Xiaoruo. The top was a halter-neck V-neck design, with a white fluffy vest. The light pink star-studded ribbon covered the red marks on her neck without feeling out of place. Instead, it made her look sweet and elegant.
The vest was just long enough to cover her lower abdomen, and you couldn't tell she had a protruding belly unless you looked closely.
Because Bai Xiaoruo is currently pregnant, it is not appropriate for her to apply too much makeup. Mu Qingyan only applied some light makeup to Bai Xiaoruo, and slightly curled her long black hair for a casual and natural look.
Bai Xiaoruo always carries contact lenses in her bag, and she puts them on directly when applying makeup.
Compared to her usual ordinary and self-conscious self wearing black-rimmed glasses, her radiant makeup and outfit instantly made her appear confident and beautiful.
"Okay, see? Are you satisfied?"
Bai Xiaoruo slowly opened her eyes and, seeing her dramatically changed appearance, happily stood up from the dressing chair. "So beautiful, sister, you're amazing!"
"Hehe, what's the big deal? You should dress yourself up more often, especially after having a baby. You already have a great foundation, I just added a few touches. If you dress up properly, not only Mingyu, but any man would stare at you."
"That's such an exaggeration..."
"Are you done testing? It's time to leave."
Hsien Ming-yu opened the door to the dressing room and walked in.
If we arrive late, it won't matter, but the host will give a long speech before the banquet starts, so it won't affect anything.
"Alright, alright, what's the rush? Xiaoruo and I haven't even had a proper chat yet." Mu Qingyan held Bai Xiaoruo's hand. "Xiaoruo, come visit me again when you have time. We've exchanged numbers, so let's hang out sometime."
"good."
After saying goodbye to Mu Qingyan and Chi Hao, the car headed directly to the host's house where the banquet was being held.
