She then asked Xuxu, “Third sister-in-law, you’re going home?”
Xuxu smiled. “I’m heading to the office. Your third brother is taking me out for lunch, then we’re going shopping. He said that I don’t have any appropriate clothes for Country M and insisted that I should buy some.”
She stood up and took her bag, a blissful smile on her face.
Even Su Yue was jealous, not to mention Bai Jing.
When would she be able to eat and shop with Uncle Ming in public?
That blissful smile would ever only be Xuxu’s. Bai Jing stared at her in a daze, and she couldn’t conceal the envy in her eyes.
She recalled all the intimate moments Yan Rusheng and Xuxu had.
He was cold to everyone except Wen Xuxu.
Only Wen Xuxu seemed to be able to make him put down his airs and make him happy and relaxed.
The first time she met the man, he had observed her with a cold gleam in his eyes, but as she stood before him, she felt like he saw right through her.
She had thought, ‘How could such a good-looking man exist? How could someone be so perfect and elegant, just like a prince that came out of a fairytale?’
She wanted to look at him, but she didn’t dare to.
“Bai Jing.”
Bai Jing was recalling her first encounter with Yan Rusheng when Su Yue had returned from sending Xuxu off.
“Hmm?” Bai Jing’s thoughts were interrupted and she felt guilty.
Su Yue was already by her side. She asked, “Did your mother and that disgusting fellow find trouble for you?”
Bai Jing shook her head. “No.”
“Okay.” She apologetically said, “I’m sorry, I ran into Uncle Ming on the way back. He dragged me over to his ward for a while and I lost track of time.”
It shocked Bai Jing. “You went over to Young Master Ming’s ward?”
She looked shocked, but it didn’t reach her eyes.
“Yup.” Su Yue nodded. She bent over and sat down on the bed. She looked at Bai Jing with a serious look, and she asked, “Bai Jing, can you keep my relationship with Uncle Ming a secret?”
“I’ve got it.” Confused, Bai Jing asked, “Even from your third sister-in-law?”
Su Yue nodded. She bowed her head and mumbled, “I know that I shouldn’t keep it from my third sister-in-law. She treats me so well and I feel bad about keeping this from her, but I don’t know how to bring it up. It feels so embarrassing.”
She looked up at Bai Jing, blushing to her ears. “Think about it. Uncle Ming is my third brother’s classmate. They grew up together and he’s eight years older than me. I’ve been calling him ‘Uncle’ all this time and now I’m dating him. It feels so weird.”
Bai Jing smiled. “It is a little weird, but isn’t this kind of relationship the new trend?”
“Alright, just keep it a secret for me.” Su Yue was still embarrassed and she was blushing. She quickly changed the topic. “Have some food first. What do you want for lunch? I’ll find Uncle Ming later and ask him to buy it for you.”
She passed Bai Jing the bag of things she bought earlier.
Bai Jing took the bag from her and opened it. She took out a small piece of bread and started eating it.
She said, “There’s still quite some time until lunch. I’ll decide later.”
