Bai Xiaoruo was standing in front of the Ji family's gate, making a phone call to the family's driver.
Upon seeing her, Ji Ziqian quickened his pace, ran to her side, snatched the phone from her hand, and immediately ended the call.
Bai Xiaoruo looked bewildered. Why did he come out too?
"Brother Ziqian, what are you doing?" Bai Xiaoruo was a little angry. Why did he hang up on her for no reason?
Ji Ziqian didn't answer her question. He suddenly pulled her into his arms and made a move to kiss her.
"No!" Bai Xiaoruo turned her face away, placing her hand between him and her, resisting his touch.
“Brother Ziqian, you said you wouldn’t force me.”
She didn't like Ziqian at all.
He is now like a stranger who only cares about his own goals and does what he wants, without considering her feelings.
Ji Ziqian smiled wryly and reluctantly released the person in his arms. "If it were Xian Mingyu who wanted to kiss you, you certainly wouldn't refuse, would you..."
“I… Brother Ziqian, these are two different things.”
When it comes to forceful kisses, the order in which they are kissed is never a factor.
"I don't like this. Please don't mention him again in the future, or I will really lose my temper."
She is no one's puppet. Will mentioning Xian Mingyu over and over again make him feel better?
"Brother Ziqian, you should go back. We both need to calm down."
"I'm so sorry, I can't accept it so quickly right now... Please give me a little more time, I will try to adjust myself."
She's really tired right now and just wants to go home and rest.
"How much longer? How much longer do I have to wait?" He pressed his hands firmly on her shoulders, his tone full of accusation.
He had waited for far too long, so why was she still so preoccupied with Xian Mingyu?
What exactly is the difference between him and that guy? Why can't she see him?
"Let go! Brother Ziqian, you're hurting me!" Bai Xiaoruo frowned as her shoulder was pinched painfully.
Ji Ziqian then realized the pain his rude behavior had caused her and hurriedly released her, saying, "I'm sorry... Xiao Ruo, I..."
Bai Xiaoruo took two steps back, keeping her distance from him, and said in a cold tone, "It's nothing... Brother Ziqian, give me back my phone, I really have to go back."
"Xiao Ruo, please don't... [referring to what my mom said]..."
“I won’t take it to heart. Auntie is right, I really am not good enough for you. I was the one who asked to be with you in the first place, and if you ever want to break up, I will respect your choice.” Bai Xiaoru interrupted Ji Ziqian first.
She understood the reasoning, it didn't matter. She was used to being treated differently from others, it had always been the same since she was a child.
"No, Xiaoruo! I don't want to break up with you. As long as I talk to them nicely, they will definitely listen to me. Xiaoruo, don't be discouraged, we will definitely be able to stay together forever."
"I hope so. I really should go back."
Ji Ziqian had no choice but to return her phone.
"Xiao Ruo, I'm sorry." Besides saying sorry, he really didn't know what else he could say to her.
"It's okay... I'm leaving." Bai Xiaoruo just smiled. She stopped standing at the door to make the call and planned to walk to the intersection outside to make the call.
She really needs some peace and quiet right now and doesn't want to say anything.
***
The old house of the Xian family.
Today is the birthday of the old lady, Lin Suqing. The old lady sat on the sofa with unease. The guests had been there for a long time, but the banquet had not yet started, and she was unwilling to go on stage to speak.
"Grandma, go get something to eat first. You haven't eaten anything since noon." Xian Mingyu walked over, wearing a dark blue suit.
The guests were getting impatient; everyone was waiting on an empty stomach, and it was already 7:30 p.m.
This dinner is a bit too late.
"I don't want to eat. Whoever is hungry can go and tell the kitchen to serve the food first."
"Grandma, it's your birthday today. If you don't eat, who will dare to start eating first? Please go and eat first, okay?"
Lin Suqing glanced at Xuan Mingyu beside her, her anger rising. "I'm not going! I'm going to wait here for Xiao Ruo to come. If she doesn't come tonight, I'd rather starve than eat."
"Grandma! What are you saying! She's not a member of the Xian family anymore. What does her coming or not have to do with your birthday!"
"How can this be alright? You're the one who drove your perfectly good wife away! Go out and see if Xiao Ruo has arrived yet! Don't get in my way!" The old lady had a terrible temper, and apart from Bai Xiao Ruo coming over, she had no mood for celebrating her birthday at all.
"You brat, why don't you do as your grandma says and go out to take a look!" Xian Zhengsen, sitting next to Lin Suqing, also chided her.
Xian Mingyu was at a loss with the two elders, but he didn't really plan to go out and look for Bai Xiaoruo.
She can come or not if she wants; why should he serve her?
At this moment, Uncle Chen rushed in to report, "Master, Madam, the young mistress has arrived, it really is the young mistress."
"Oh my! That's great! Little Ruo has finally arrived!" Lin Suqing and Xian Zhengsen were overjoyed, finally welcoming Bai Xiaoruo.
Hsien Mingyu, standing to the side, was not happy and angrily rebuked Uncle Chen: "What young mistress is this! She has a name! She has absolutely no relation to our Hsien family!"
