"I......"
Never mind, there's nothing wrong with telling him the truth.
"It's lost."
Lost? Where did you lose it?
"What? You're heartbroken? It's gone, it's gone. Anyway, it was a gift from you, so if I don't want it anymore, I can just throw it away." Although Bai Xiaoruo was being stubborn, she was still a little regretful inside.
My perfectly good phone is gone just like that.
Thinking back to that time, I was really angry.
He said such hurtful things, and when she thought about how the phone he gave her was actually used to monitor her, Bai Xiaoruo was so angry that she threw it away in a fit of rage.
Now, I don't know if someone else has picked it up.
"I'm not worried about the phone... If you like losing them, I can buy a hundred, a thousand, you can lose them all, you can smash them. But you have to understand, if you don't have your phone with you, I won't be able to find you. What if, like last time, I can't get to you in time and you suffer at the Bai family's house?"
"I'm not a child anymore, where can I run off to? Is that why you're using your phone to monitor me? Have you ever truly trusted me?" Bai Xiaoruo finally spoke out all the words that had been building up in her heart for days.
Bai Xiaoruo was angry not only because Xuan Mingyu misunderstood her with those unfounded and hurtful words, but also because he used his phone to monitor her.
Her every move was under his surveillance; what personal freedom did she have left?
Just because she married him doesn't mean she was his prisoner or his servant.
After listening to Bai Xiaoruo's accusations, Xuan Mingyu seemed to be deep in thought.
Now that Bai Xiaoruo already knew that he had someone install a chip in the phone before giving it to her, there was no point in hiding it from her anymore.
"I admit, I had ulterior motives at first..."
That phone served two purposes: first, to make it easier to contact Bai Xiaoruo; and second, to track all of Bai Xiaoruo's whereabouts. He never liked the Bai family, and he thought that Bai Xiaoruo had ulterior motives for marrying into the Xian family. In order to monitor her actions, he connected the chip in his phone to hers, so that he could track her down immediately no matter where she went, regardless of whether there was a signal or not.
Of course, when it comes to the Bai family, Xian Mingyu will not be frank with Bai Xiaoruo directly, for fear that she will overthink things.
"It's not that I don't trust you, but I'm so afraid of losing you that I did it this way... so that I can see everything you do." This was his true feeling. If he wasn't worried about her, why would he travel so far, leaving his work unfinished and even his sleep untouched, just to see her?
"you......"
Bai Xiaoruo was somewhat surprised by Xuan Mingyu's answer.
So that's what he was thinking?
She turned her face away somewhat embarrassedly, "How could you lose me? I'm not that petty... Okay, it was wrong of me to lose my phone, I'll go get it first thing tomorrow morning." Hopefully, it's still in that lawn.
"Alright, it doesn't matter whether we pick it up or not. I'll just have someone make you a new one." He ruffled her soft hair, then pulled her back down to lie down. "Go to sleep, I'm really sleepy."
"Hmm... Goodnight."
"Good night."
Xuan Mingyu reached out and turned off all the lights in the room, then held the person in his arms and closed his eyes peacefully.
***
The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning.
Bai Xiaoruo woke up after only a few hours of sleep.
Her brain's biological clock was reminding her to get up early today.
As soon as I opened my eyes, the soft sunlight streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, instantly brightening the room.
Hsien Ming-yu, who was beside her, was still fast asleep.
Bai Xiaoruo gently removed Xian Mingyu's large hand from her waist, lifted the blanket, and tiptoed out of bed.
She first went to the French windows and pulled the curtains closed, not wanting the glaring sunlight to disturb his precious sleep.
He finally got to sleep for a while, so Bai Xiaoruo certainly didn't want to wake him up so early.
Although she verbally promised last night not to pick it up, the phone was so valuable, and it was the first gift he ever gave her, so she still wanted to retrieve it.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained or been very sunny these past few days. I hope that phone is still working properly and not broken.
Wearing a thick coat and a hat, Bai Xiaoruo went downstairs.
Fang Peiru and Xian Shaodong also opened the door and came downstairs at that moment, and Bai Xiaoru met them.
Good morning, Dad and Mom.
"Good morning." Xian Shaodong smiled at her in a friendly manner.
"It's rare to see you up so early. I heard noises upstairs last night. Was that Mingyu coming back?"
“Yes,” Bai Xiaoruo nodded truthfully, “but he’s going back to L City soon.” She had to find his phone quickly, otherwise she would lose contact with him again while he was away. “Mom, I have to go out for a bit. I’ll come back for breakfast later.”
With that, Bai Xiaoru hurriedly went downstairs and headed outside.
......
Bai Xiaoruo stood in the courtyard, pushed up her glasses, and looked around.
She remembered that she had probably left her phone around here that night.
It hasn't snowed for the past few days, and the grass on the lawn has grown quite tall, making it difficult to find your phone.
Her belly is now so big that she can no longer squat down so easily; she can only bend over to look and search.
Although her back ached and she was very tired, Bai Xiaoruo was only thinking about finding her phone as soon as possible, and she didn't feel tired at all.
