Was it due to her forcefulness that he felt his heart becoming unstable, fluttering like it had taken a hit from her?
"You're alright! You're alright! You're alright!" The joy of going from hell to heaven made Bai Xue lose her usual calmness, babbling excitedly.
"If anyone's not alright, Mrs. Su, it's you." I was only in a minor car accident, does she need to get so worked up?
Any outsider unaware of their situation, seeing her behavior, would think she loved him deep down and feared losing him!
Su Yan is both smart yet dull. After all these years, he still failed to see Bai Xue's intense feelings, strong enough to burn a person.
"As long as you're alright." Even if the one who's really not alright is her!
"Mrs. Su, you're pressing on my wound." Holding her like this made him uncomfortable, even somewhat...
Annoyed!
Because he was actually feeling something!
Su Yan, you coward, have you been away from women for so long, or what?
He scolded himself internally.
Upon hearing she's pressing on his wound, Bai Xue immediately pulled back, examining him, "Where did you get hurt? Let me look!"
"You're not a doctor, so what use is it if you look? And Mrs. Su, stop pretending to care about me. It makes me sick, nauseous." Su Yan twisted her concern stubbornly.
Bai Xue's face turned pale and cold.
She hid her eyes, raised her head, posing arrogantly, "You're the husband I managed to acquire after much difficulty. Until I get tired of you, I won't allow any of my belongings to get damaged!"
Being called her 'possession' annoyed Su Yan. Who did he, Su Yan, think he was? She actually dared to treat him as an object!
Both of them were like hedgehogs. Any attempt to get closer to the other would end in pain.
Bai Xue had not expected to see the person she had met at the club. Therefore, Yang Minhan's visit surprised her.
"Miss Bai." The smile on Yang Minhan's face indicated she had some request or favor to ask.
Bai Xue agreed to meet her because of Yang Minhan's connection to Qiao Tian, who was a good friend of Su Yan.
"Miss Yang, why are you looking for me?" She asked directly.
"I want to talk to Miss Bai privately, and in a quiet, undisturbed environment." Yang Minhan was also straightforward. She was quite impressed with Bai Xue on that evening, thought they were quite similar. So, after considerable thought, she decided to visit her.
Bai Xue asked Xiao Ai to leave and instructed that no one should come in without her permission.
"Miss Yang, please speak."
"You can call me Minhan, everyone calls me that. We could consider each other as friends. Calling me Miss Yang is a bit too distant!" Yang Minhan tried to build a connection with a cheerful smile. "I'll just call you Xiao Xue!"
"Minhan." Bai Xue went along with it naturally. A businessman never refuses a smiling face. An additional friend means an additional path.
"Xiao Xue, if I may be so bold, it seems you and your husband don't get along very well?" Yang Minhan said while feeling slightly embarrassed, as this was, after all, a personal matter.
"If you came to me because you want to know about marital issues between my husband and me, I'm afraid I can't help you." Bai Xue hated when people started asking about her and Su Yan. Their issues were private, and outsiders asking about them were interfering!
Upon hearing Bai Xue's displeasure, Yang Minhan scratched her head, feeling awkward, "I'm sorry, Xiao Xue. I'm not that good with words."
She was used to being straightforward and didn't know how to go about asking indirectly about their relationship.
"Minhan, just tell me why you're here!"
