He had only teased her a little, but seeing her huffy expression, Xuan Mingyu found it extremely cute.
Playing with her is truly one of the greatest joys of every day.
It was almost time, and he reluctantly patted Bai Xiaoruo's head. "Alright, I really have to go to the meeting now. Be a good girl and wait for me to come back here."
"good."
After Xian Mingyu left, Bai Xiaoruo was the only one left in the office.
He had never left anyone alone here before; Bai Xiaoruo was the first.
All of this was clearly visible on the surveillance footage.
In the central control room, two graceful figures stood together.
Her gaze was fixed on Bai Xiaoruo, who was pacing back and forth in Xuan Mingyu's office.
"He really doesn't care, leaving her alone in his office."
"What tricks did that bitch use to make Yu treat her so well! Last time I wanted to stay here alone, he wouldn't even let me. What should we do now?"
"Don't rush. Aren't they going to a banquet together tonight? I have that invitation too. Of course I won't miss such a good opportunity to make my move."
"What are you planning to do? You have an invitation, but I don't. How am I supposed to get close to her?"
"I don't need you, I can still handle her! Even now, can't you see? Bai Xiaoruo is pregnant, and her belly is the easiest target!"
"What? This bitch actually... How despicable! No wonder Yu was so careful to protect her, I never expected her to do something like this! If this child is born, she will definitely hold an even greater place in Yu's heart."
"Hmph? Give birth? Who can guarantee that she will actually give birth to this child?"
This time, Bai Xiaoruo has no chance of escaping.
She's been hiding for so long, making it very difficult for them to find her. Now that she's back in L City, and Xuan Mingyu can't always be by her side to protect her, why worry about not having enough opportunities to strike?

Bai Xiaoruo was almost bored to death in Xuan Mingyu's office.
I sat on the sofa, then touched and fiddled with everything. Sigh, there weren't even any books to read here. All the documents were locked in cabinets. The decor was also extremely simple. Apart from a desk, a laptop, a coffee table, a few sofas, and a few potted plants, there was nothing else.
Doesn't he find working in this environment every day boring?
She walked around to his desk and suddenly noticed a blue folder on it.
Huh? What's this?
Could it be some kind of important document to him?
Bai Xiaoruo picked it up but didn't dare to look through it, hesitating whether to send it to Xuan Mingyu.
But I don't know where he's having a meeting. If he finds out I'm wandering around, he'll definitely be very angry.
At that moment, Hsien Ming-yu suddenly pushed the door open and came in from outside.
Bai Xiaoruo quickly put down the folder in her hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing much... By the way, are you done with your meeting?"
"Not yet, I forgot something." Xuan Mingyu strode over to her and took the folder she had just put down.
"Oh, this is what you're looking for. I was just wondering whether I should send it over to you."
"Looks like we're on the same wavelength," he said, putting his arm around her shoulder and kissing her head. "I'm going now. You can play anywhere here, just don't get too close to my desk, okay, baby?"
"ah?"
Bai Xiaoruo was still looking bewildered when Xuan Mingyu had already left the office with the folder.
She touched the spot where he had just kissed her; just now, he had called her "baby"!
Ugh, that's such a cheesy way to address someone.
She was a little happy; it seemed he really doted on her.
Since he wouldn't let her near his desk, she might as well stay away.
Bai Xiaoruo looked up at the clock on the wall. It was already past four in the afternoon. His meeting probably wouldn't last too long.
***
When Xuan Mingyu and Annie finished their meeting and walked back to the office together, they opened the door to find Bai Xiaoruo already asleep on the sofa.
This little scatterbrain.
I told her before that if she was sleepy she should go back to the rest room to sleep, but she slept outside without even covering herself with a blanket.
"Huh? What's wrong with Xiaoruo...?"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't wake her up."
Annie silently shut her mouth. She was just too happy. She hadn't seen Bai Xiaoruo since her wedding day and missed her terribly.
They said they didn't want to wake her, but Bai Xiaoruo woke up as soon as they entered the door.
She rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up. What time is it? How did she end up sleeping here?
"Have you slept enough?" Xuan Mingyu walked over and sat down beside her.
"Huh? Did you finish your meeting?" Bai Xiaoruo, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed. It wasn't that she hadn't slept enough; she had just dozed off for a while.
"We're done driving. If you haven't had enough sleep, sleep a little longer. I'll carry you out."
Ugh~ These two are so mushy. Standing at the door, Annie suddenly felt like a super bright, sparkling light bulb. If she had known Xiao Ru was coming to the company today, she wouldn't have come to hand in her report at this time.
"No need, holding me like that will attract a lot of attention. Didn't you say you were going to buy me a dress? When are we going to buy it?"
Bai Xiaoruo couldn't wait to choose a dress to wear to the banquet tonight.
"I'll take you to my friend's place to pick one out in a bit."
"Uh-huh."
Annie timidly placed the documents she was holding on Xuan Mingyu's desk. "President, I'll head back now. See you tonight, Xiao Ruo!"
