Bai Xiao's attitude had been getting colder towards Li Huan Rui ever since their argument that night. Li Huan Rui had also just realized Bai Xiao's hateful gaze every time she saw him. Li Huan Rui knew he had left such deep wounds for her, you he could go back in time he would change his decision and hold his selfishness back then. But he can't go back in time, how can he make up for all the mistakes he's done to her.
Li Huan Rui walked into the room, she looked at the woman who was combing her hair. Bai Xiao had long, beautiful black hair similar to that of their daughter. Li Huan Rui slowly walked over to him.
"Let me help you comb your hair"
"Not necessary"
Li Huan Rui seized the comb by force.
"Mr Li, you..."
Li Huan Rui combed Bai Xiao's hair carefully.
"Stop calling me with such formal greetings. We're legitimate husbands and wives, why do you still use formal calls on me?"
"Is there a rule that the wife should not call with a formal call"
"No, but don't you feel that the call shows some distance between us? "
"Isn't it like that? Mr. Li, we're just husband and wife in name"
"We are still husband and wife in the eyes of the law"
"As far as you go"
Bai Xiao was too lazy to argue. Li Huan Rui smiled triumphantly.
"My wife, your hair is so beautiful"
Bai Xiao did not react to Li Huan Rui's praise. Li Huan Rui knew it was not easy to touch the heart of a woman as cold as Bai Xiao with just a compliment.
"You must hate me so much, am I right?"
"Do I have the right to hate the esteemed young master Li"
"Jy..My wife, you know hate can turn into love"
Bai Xiao smiled bitterly.
"Why did Mr. Li suddenly say such nonsense"
"That's not bullshit"
"I used to hate someone, I really hated their existence back then, but because I hate her I think about her all the time and I don't know when that feeling is trying to be love but it's a pity that she doesn't have the same feelings for me"
"Do you want to know who that woman is?"
"I don't care who you like. I'm tired, I want to rest"
Bai Xiao took the comb from Li Huan Rui's hand forcefully and then placed it on her dressing table. The woman took a pillow and walked to the sofa.
"The bed is quite spacious, why choose to sleep on a narrow sofa"
Bai Xiao did not care and immediately lay down on the sofa. He closed his eyes and pretended not to care about Li Huan Rui.
The man sighed seeing the woman ignoring him. He walked up to her and carried her. Bai Xiao panicked.
"Mr Li, what are you doing, put me down"
Li Huan Rui put Bai Xiao on the bed and then covered her.
"My wife, isn't it more comfortable to sleep on a mattress than on a couch. The air is also cold if you sleep without a blanket you can get sick. Sleep comfortably. I'm not gonna force you to sleep with me"
"I'll spend the night in the dorm room"
Li Huan Rui then left the room. Before closing the door she turned her head towards Bai Xiao but that woman immediately closed her eyes. Li Huan Rui then went to his study. There was actually not much he could work on, he was just repeating the documents he had previously checked.

"Mama, papa, today Yimin will stay at grandma's house"
"Why ? Don't you like living in this house? "
"Not so, papa. Yimin just wants to see Hua Hua"
"Why not ask Xia Hua to come?"
"What can? "
"Of course"
"But Yimin promised Hua to meet her at grandma's house. Maybe next time"
"Alright, papa's gonna get you in line"
"No need, papa. Uncle Zhu will come to pick me up"
"Uncle Zhu? "
"He's a driver in our family"
Bai Xiao answered Li Huan Rui's confusion.
"Sign Uncle Zhu to not pick me up. We're gonna come to their house"
"But, papa aren't you busy"
"No. After all, there is a tradition for women to go home to their parents after marriage so why not all of them. Isn't he wife?"
"Yes"
Bai Xiao replied hesitantly. Yimin looks unhappy with his papa's proposal. The goal went so that his mother and his father could spend time together because their relationship looks stiff.
"What's wrong?"
"Papa, is your relationship with Grandpa bad? Yimin doesn't want you guys to fight"
"Then you can go with your mama"
Yimin is getting sullen.
"Papa, don't you understand what I mean?"
Li Huan Rui frowned.
"Papa, why are you so slow to understand. Yimin didn't go away"
Yimin.
"Yimin, you haven't finished your meal yet"
"Yimin is full"
Li Huan Rui turned his head towards Bai Xiao who was focused on his food.
"What's wrong with Yimin"
Bai Xiao simply shrugged his shoulders. He actually knew what his daughter meant he wanted Bai Xiao to be alone with Li Huan Rui. Bai Xiao had heard Yimin call Mo An An and talked about this.
Dreet
Li Huan Rui took the phone out of his pants. He swiped the green button.
"Hallo, mama"
Li Huan Rui turned his head towards Bai Xiao then he walked away.
"Mama, I told you that I don't want to go on a date you arranged"
'Huanrui, try to meet him first. She used to be at the same university as you and also she is the daughter of the mayor in H city if you can be with her it would be good for the company as well"
"Mama, I..."
"Huanrui, at least meet him first. Mama has already arranged a meeting for you guys and mama is unlikely to cancel the appointment, right? Huanrui, you're not going to humiliate mama are you?'
Li Huan Rui sighed.
"Alright but mama don't force me to get in touch with her"
'All right'
Li Huan Rui then turned off the phone.
***
"Can't you change your clothes in the bathroom"
"Wife, why are you so embarrassed to see your husband take off his clothes?"
"Wife is okay if you want to see..."
"No, what I want to see your body for"
Li Huan Rui approached Bai Xiao who was still standing in front of the door and defeated his gaze.
"That's really so"
Li Huan Rui gripped Bai Xiao's chin and forced her to look at him. Bai Xiao looked at this man in front of him. Bai Xiao's cheeks flushed looking at the man's field chest and also his six pag belly. He immediately brushed aside Li Huan Rui's hand and shifted his gaze.
"My wife, you look so embarrassed like this"
"Stop joking. Bai Xiao turned around to open the door but Li Huan Rui hugged her from behind and held her hand.
"Mr Li, what are you doing. Let go of me"
Bai Xiao struggled but Li Huan Rui tightened his embrace.
"Wife, let your husband hold you for a second"
"Mr Li, off"
"No"
Li Huan Rui was still not satisfied with teasing his wife. Bai Xiao finally used the martial arts he had learned and brought down Li Huan Rui.
Li Huan Rui did not expect Bai Xiao's strength to be so great.
"Wife, why destroy our sweet momens"
"Mr Li, I'm warning you not to tease me like that anymore and for whom you're acting like a couple flirting with each other. Mr. Li, if you do it one more time I can do more than slam you"
Bai Xiao was about to come out but when he heard Li Huan Rui complain of pain he stopped.
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to be so weak"
Bai Xiao did not slam it hard of course he knew that Li Huan Rui was just pretending to be in pain. Li Huan Rui stopped being irritated and stood up as usual. His wife was not easily deceived. Bai Xiao then left the room. Li Huan Rui smiled bitterly as to why it was so difficult to get his wife's attention.
***
Li Huan Rui said goodbye to his wife who was in the living room.
"Wife, I want to go out"
"Yes"
Bai Xiao only responded briefly. He did not need to be affectionate since there was nothing in the living room other than them.
"Will papa go?"
Li Huan Rui turned towards her daughter. She was glad her daughter spoke to her. He thought his daughter was still angry not wanting to talk to him.
"really. Papa has to see someone. Papa go first"
Li Huan Rui gently rubbed her daughter's hair and left.
"Mama, don't you think Dad looks weird?"
"Any? What's so weird?"
"Papa wearing casual clothes, don't you always wear formal clothes?"
"So papa must've gone not for a job"
"Darling, you don't have to think about that seriously"
"But mama, what if papa meets another woman and the woman tries to snatch papa"
Bai Xiao did not care much about it. However, they are not really loving couples. Of course he had no right to forbid Li Huan Rui from meeting or relating to anyone. But he could not show this to his daughter.
"No, your father is not that kind of person. Your father will not leave us. Honey, don't think badly of your papa"
"Mama, do you trust papa" .
"Well, husbands and wives should not be slow"
Yimin smiling. Although the relationship between mom and dad looks stiff but they have a bond of trust. Yimin doesn't feel so bad even though he's still afraid of what if someone snatches his papa.
***
On the other hand Li Huan Rui met a woman arranged by her mother. The woman had a beautiful face, white skin and an alluring smile that even her voice was so gentle. But the woman's charm did not affect a Li Huan Rui, however for Li Huan Rui there was only one woman in his sight - his wife.
The girl named He Mulan was trying to attract the attention of Li Huan Rui. He praised Li Huan Rui about his performance as president of Shen company. However Li Huan Rui only responded briefly. He Mulan tried to find other talk.
"Sir Li, what kind of woman do you like?"
Li Huan Rui was silent for a moment. He wanted to answer the type he liked like his wife but he could not reveal the identity of his wife.
"I don't have it"
"really? Mr Li, then can our relationship still continue after this meeting?"
He Mulam looked on expectantly. He had long admired this man in front of him. The woman aggressively held onto Li Huan Rui's hand but was immediately teped off by him.
"I'm sorry, miss, but our meeting is quite up here"
Li Huan Rui then stood up and left. He did not care about the woman who kept calling him. Li Huan Rui did not like any other woman touching him and he also did not want to deal too long with another woman. Li Huan Rui just wanted to go home and spend time with his wife and daughter. But the woman was trying to chase him.
Bai Xiao and Yimin were in a taxi. They saw the scene where the girl grabbed Li Huan Rui's hand. Yimin forced her to go to this place, could it be that her daughter knew about this. She could see a sad and disappointed expression on her daughter's face but suddenly her expression changed showing a smile. Bai Xiao looked at the direction of his daughter's gaze, he saw the woman sitting on the ground and Li Huan Rui left her just like that and got into the car.
"Mama, it looks like you're right. Papa will definitely not leave us. No woman can seduce us or take our father away from us"
Yimin's smile grew wider, he was glad his papa was being rude to the woman who tried to seduce him. He knew he shouldn't have to be suspicious. He now knew why his mother believed in his father.
"Mama, let's go home"
"Wait, 'cause we're out what if we all go shopping"
"All right"
Bai Xiao deliberately went shopping so that she could have an excuse when Li Huan Rui knew they were out.
***
When they returned, Li Huan Rui was in the living room. Yimin immediately approached and hugged his papa.
"Yimin, where have you been?"
"We went shopping"
"Why do you have to go shopping alone, you can ask the waiter to shop"
"They already have a lot of work and Yimin is bored at home so I take her shopping to disappear her boredom"
"That's right, papa shopping is exciting"
"Good if you're having fun"
Li Huan Rui gave a warm smile to his daughter. He then approached Bai Xiao and took over her plastic groceries.
"You bought quite a lot. I'll take it to the kitchen"
"No need, I..."
"Wife, I don't want you tired of lifting heavy stuff"
"It's not..."
Li Huan Rui first took over the plastic.
"You must be tired of going around to shop so take a rest"
Li Huan Rui then left them. Yimin smiled brightly even though he failed to make his mom and dad spend time together but he was quite satisfied to see the attention of his father to his mother. His father treated his mother well in contrast to his father's attitude to the woman, he would tell his grandmother how good her father was.
