Xu Qiming hinted to her that he had a lot of time.
"Sister Xue has always been so impressive, not useless like me." Bai Wanrou expressed with both resentment and envy.
If she were a person like Bai Xue, she wouldn't be like this now, she would be the one with Su Yan!
"The Second Miss and CEO Bai are completely different kinds of people and can't be compared." not everyone could be as strong as Bai Xue.
"I know, I can't compare with Sister Xue." Bai Wanrou lowered her head.
"Second Miss, I didn't mean it that way!" Xu Qiming panicked a little.
"I know what you meant, you don't have to explain, I am truly useless." She was timid, weak, and couldn't even protect the person she loved the most.
"No, the Second Miss is not useless! The Second Miss is just too kind!" Xu Qiming urgently grabbed her hand, hoping she would lift her head to listen to his explanation.
"You don't need to say those words to comfort me." Bai Wanrou, who was wallowing in self-pity, didn't notice him holding her hand and kept her head down.
"I'm not comforting Second Miss, I genuinely don't think Second Miss is useless. Any man would like someone like Second Miss!" Xu Qiming was a man, so he also liked her.
Xu Qiming grew up with Bai Xue. Bai Xue's mother always treated him and his father well, so he should have liked Bai Xue, and considered Meng Shaomei and Bai Wanrou, the outsiders, with hatred.
Indeed, when he first heard that Meng Shaomei was to move in, he disliked and opposed her and her daughter. But after seeing Bai Wanrou, he couldn't bring himself to dislike her. He ended up liking this shy, delicate, and timid cadenza.
Xu Qiming, as the son of a servant, was just a handyman to be bullied by those young girls in high society.
Although Bai Xue had never bullied Xu Qiming, she had been spoilt with a high-handed attitude since childhood. If she asked him to do something, he had to do it. Her commanding tone constantly reminded Xu Qiming of his low status.
But Bai Wanrou was different. She would sweetly refer to him as Brother Xu, and when she asked him to do something, it was always with a shy request, "Brother Xu, can you help me get that?"
She was very polite, and in Xu Qiming's eyes, she treated him as a friend, as an equal.
In addition, Meng Shaomei was not kind to Bai Wanrou. If things didn't go as desired, she would hit Bai Wanrou. The fragile, pitiful she was the easiest to evoke sympathy. Xu Qiming's tenderness towards her gradually turned into affection.
Bai Wanrou and Bai Xue are two completely different people.
Bai Xue was strong, smart, wealthy, talented, and influential, and most men could not lift their heads when standing beside her. A person like Bai Xue was more suited for men to watch from afar, while Bai Wanrou, with her delicacy and pitifulness, which needed constant protection, could attract men's instinct to protect, satisfying their masculine ego.
Thus, Xu Qiming believed that all men would like someone like Bai Wanrou.
"Is that so?" Bai Wanrou looked up, only to realize that her hand was being held. She blushed in embarrassment and quickly withdrew her hand.
Xu Qiming felt a bit uneasy too, but mostly he was disappointed.
After a while, Bai Wanrou lifted her head timidly, "Brother Xu, after I left, was Su Yan anxious when he couldn't find me?"
Although Meng Shaomei had told Bai Wanrou that Su Yan had been trying to find her several times, she still felt uneasy. She knew how capable Su Yan was after returning to the Su Family.
