Xuan Mingyu winked at Annie and Gu Yao, signaling them to go out first.
There were only the two of them left, but Lu Xinyao showed no fear at all, and instead chuckled.
She naturally answered whatever he wanted to ask.
"Mingyu, now that it's just the two of us here, I don't need to worry about others when I call you this..."
Xian Mingyu grabbed her wrist and pulled Lu Xinyao in front of him. "Tell me! How did you get that photo!"
"Ouch! That hurts! Be gentle! I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay?"
He gripped her so tightly that Lu Xinyao felt like her bones were about to be crushed. It was the first time she had ever seen Xuan Mingyu so angry.
"Speak!" Xuan Mingyu didn't want to waste any more words with her; he even found it disgusting to look at her.
With her wrist finally free, Lu Xinyao gently twisted it, and it didn't hurt so much anymore. "The photos were given to me by someone else, it has nothing to do with me."
"Which other person?" Xian Mingyu suppressed his anger. If she weren't the daughter of that old fox Lu Qianhao, and if Qingxian and Hongsheng still had business dealings, he would never have been so polite to her.
"Others are others. If you're so capable, go check it yourself. That's all I can say. Whether the photos are real or fake, you can have anyone verify them. Anyway, I won't lose anything."
“Mingyu, I told you long ago that that woman is no good. You should divorce her as soon as possible and be with me. Although our Hongsheng is not even a tenth as big as your Xian family, I can be of great help to your career.”
Perhaps this is Lu Xinyao's real purpose.
How ridiculous... When did Xian Mingyu become someone who can be threatened like this?
"Marrying Bai Xiaoruo would really be of no use to me. She's not as pretty as you, and she doesn't have as good a figure as you."
Lu Xinyao looked at Xian Mingyu with anticipation. Was what he said true?
This was the first time he had ever praised her like that.
I knew it! What is it about that bitch that attracts Xian Mingyu? If I had known it was this easy to change his mind, I should have done it sooner.
"Mingyu, I..." Lu Xinyao's hand had just touched Xian Mingyu's arm when he ruthlessly shook her off. Lu Xinyao was puzzled. What did he mean by that?
"No matter how outstanding or good you are, in my heart, you can't compare to even one ten-thousandth of Bai Xiaoruo!"
Just because she can investigate something doesn't mean he can't.
After saying this, Xuan Mingyu walked around Lu Xinyao and left the conference room.
Lu Xinyao was the only one left in the conference room.
She stood there blankly, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
It was as if he had lifted her high into the air, and then she was plunged hard into the deepest abyss.
He is so cruel.
Why? Why do you always reject me? What's so good about that bitch? What makes her so lovable to you?
Hsien Ming-yu, you just wait!
The more you cherish something, the more I want to destroy it completely, no matter what!
***
11 p.m.
Without Bai Xiaoruo by his side, Xuan Mingyu tossed and turned in bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.
He got up, put on a coat, and went downstairs to get his car.
Tomorrow will be the third day they agreed upon, and he will be able to take her home tomorrow. But right now, he can't wait to go to the Ji family to see her.
All the way there, Xuan Mingyu's mind was filled with the photo that Lu Xinyao had put on the big screen in front of everyone in the conference room earlier that day.
He immediately had Gu Yao find someone to verify the authenticity, and the conclusions were consistent.
The photo is genuine, without any color correction or retouching, and shows no signs of being photoshopped; it's just a perfectly authentic photo.
This also confirms that the person in the photo is indeed Bai Xiaoruo.
Xianming thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. He had protected her very well these past few months, and since she became pregnant, he had never let her go out alone. Guangshi had only moved into L City this month.
How exactly did she and the young master of the Guang family meet?
Moreover, judging from the photos, they seem very close, and their relationship appears to go beyond that of ordinary friends.
Xiao Ruo'er, how many things have you been hiding from me?
......
After Bai Xiaoruo finished adding the last stroke to the paper, she was also extremely sleepy.
I put down my colored pencils and stretched.
Ugh, so tired.
I haven't painted for this long in a long time, like tonight.
Bai Xiaoruo turned around and glanced at Ji Shushu, who was already fast asleep on the bed.
This girl, I don't know what's wrong with her tonight, she came up to sleep right after eating, and she even snored a few times now and then.
However, Bai Xiaoruo was used to it. When they lived in the dormitory together before, Ji Shushu would occasionally snore until dawn.
Unlike Xian Mingyu, who never snores, and who lets her sleep soundly in his arms...
Bai Xiaoruo was taken aback.
Sigh, what am I thinking?
I've only not seen him for a few days, why do I miss him so much?
Bai Xiaoru shook her head, trying to stop thinking about it. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became; those images just wouldn't go away.
He's coming to pick her up tomorrow...
I both want to go back and don't really want to.
I want to see him, yet I don't want to see him...
I'm really torn.
The more I think about it, the more confused I get.
I should get up and move around a bit before going to sleep, so I don't get leg cramps in the middle of the night.
