"Then I won't work. Anyway, in your eyes, everything I do is terrible."
"That's not what I meant... Just focus on recovering these next few days, and pretend I never said anything."
"So, will you come to see me every day these next few days?" Su Yulu looked at Xuan Mingyu with expectant eyes.
"I will try to make time for it, but I can't guarantee that I can come every day."
"Why? Are you... afraid that woman will find out about us? Are you afraid she'll be unhappy?" The more he didn't want that woman to know, the more she wanted to escalate the situation, hoping to force that woman to reveal it.
Xian Mingyu didn't evade the question. He understood Bai Xiaoruo's personality. Even if she were here, she wouldn't show her unhappiness on her face. He and Su Yuluo had nothing left, so she wouldn't be jealous like this. "She knows you. She knows everything about what happened between you and me."
Did she know?
Did Hsien Ming-yu really tell that woman everything about their past?
Does that mean she has no leverage left?
No, no, I won't be defeated by that woman so easily!
There's always a way to force her to show herself. She can't afford to lose her composure. This time, she must find a way to keep Xian Mingyu here!
"Oh, I see. Well then, just pretend I didn't ask anything. I... if I hadn't seen the recent news, I wouldn't have known you really married someone else... I'm happy for you, really, I wish you happiness."
"It's good that you think that way. I also hope that you can find your happiness soon." Xian Mingyu thought it would be difficult to coax Su Yulu, but he didn't expect her to agree to let go of the past so quickly.
Well, it's finally time to put an end to their relationship.
Outside the door, Mu Bie leaned against the wall, carrying a large bag of food, but did not go in.
I thought that Xuan Mingyu wouldn't come so quickly after receiving the news, and I even thought that he wouldn't care about Su Yulu's life or death after he had Bai Xiaoruo.
Unexpectedly, he still came here.
He couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it seemed to be a pleasant conversation, and he couldn't join in.
She glanced down at the food she was carrying and realized there was no need to give it to her; she was happy enough with Xian Mingyu there.
Even after all these years, they are still the most dazzling couple in public.
Those who have already lost from the start have no right to dream.
He threw the food he was carrying into a nearby trash can and turned to leave.
***
Country M.
A shopping mall.
"This red one looks good and is perfect for summer."
"It's too old-fashioned, no way, this white one is better."
"Why wear white? It's unlucky! How about this pink one? It's so pretty and cool."
"What's with the 'cool' part? It looks like a lingerie outfit! Who do you expect her to wear that for? Pregnant women should definitely focus on keeping warm!"
Bai Xiaoruo sat on the sofa with a headache, listening to Fang Peiru and Jian Yuemei constantly comparing clothes to her body, and arguing from time to time.
She was at her wit's end.
After browsing and choosing for several hours since noon, I bought a whole bunch of things. I feel like I could go a month, no, three or four months without wearing the same maternity clothes twice.
Aren't they overthinking this? She's only a few months pregnant and will give birth soon. Regular clothes are fine, but there's no need to buy so many maternity clothes.
Besides, summer hasn't even arrived yet, and most of them are buying summer clothes, so Bai Xiaoruo doesn't understand the point of buying them.
So she doesn't need to wear it in winter, right?
Although unwilling, they dared not say it and could only mutter to themselves.
Sigh, shopping with elders is so tiring.
Bai Xiaoruo yawned; she was sleepy.
She goes to sleep at this time every day.
Even when they're out and about, if they get sleepy, Xianmingyu can hold them and they can fall asleep right away by leaning on his shoulder or lying on his lap. But today they're out with his mother and aunt, so how are they going to sleep?
"Xiao Ruo, what do you think of this one?"
"Okay, okay." Bai Xiaoru yawned again, rubbed her eyes, and didn't even bother to look at the clothes.
Jian Yuemei put the clothes back on the hanger. "Tired? Oh dear, that's true. Your mother and I were so busy looking at the clothes that we almost forgot you should take a nap."
"It's okay, I can manage."
"Alright, alright, don't push yourself. We've bought enough clothes, let's go home. If we're missing anything, we can come out and buy it again tomorrow."
What? You're going on such a big shopping spree tomorrow?
Bai Xiaoruo looked dejected, angry but unable to speak out. Sigh, this is so annoying.
At this moment, she really missed Xian Mingyu. How wonderful it would be if he were here.
......
As soon as she got home, Bai Xiaoru changed her shoes and quickly ran back to her room upstairs.
She wanted to see if Xian Mingyu had sent her any messages or made any phone calls.
When she excitedly walked into the room, picked up her phone from the table, and started browsing.
A few seconds later, all that followed was another disappointment.
It's been a whole day.
There was nothing there—no phone number, no messages from him.
It was as if there was absolutely no need to contact her.
Hmph! So he's the only one who'll ignore people! Fine, then she doesn't care anymore. If he's so busy, let him be busy. Don't expect her to call him first!
Just as Bai Xiaoruo was about to put her phone down and go to sleep, a sudden vibration accompanied by a pleasant ringtone startled her.
