Chapter 33: Interaction

Bai Xiao subdued Hu Ke almost effortlessly and easily caught her. Hu Ke remembered her previous experience and did not resist. She looked straight into Bai Xiao’s eyes. Her expression seemed to ask ‘are you ok?’

Bai Xiao looked at Hu Ke, whose expression did not change, and his heart did not skip a beat. His mood, which had finally improved, became irritable again. He realized that Hu Ke did not need to do anything to successfully break his defense.

The private rooms on the third floor were all reserved by Wen Huai when she was negotiating with others, or they would only be used when VIP customers needed them. Therefore, the dance floor downstairs was peaceful, and the environment was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

“How long are you going to pretend to be aloof? Don’t you find it embarrassing to use such despicable methods? You’re already pregnant. I hope you know what to do and what not to do.”

Even though Hu Ke was already used to Bai Xiao’s accent from time to time, she could not help but feel disgusted. Coupled with the fact that her stomach was already uncomfortable during pregnancy, she could not help but retch.

“Urgh—”

Bai Xiao’s words were interrupted. He looked at Hu Ke in disdain and strode towards the elevator. “Alright, come home with me. I won’t be responsible if anything happens outside alone.”

When Bai Xiao was a little further away from her, Hu Ke felt that her breathing was smoother. She rubbed her stomach and recalled the adverse effects of pregnancy written in the information she had read. She could not help but feel melancholic.

She had to leave Bai Xiao as soon as possible. Being with him would only make her adverse reaction stronger.

The driver had been waiting downstairs. After picking up Hu Ke and Bai Xiao, he drove towards the small villa.

On the way, Bai Xiao kept sending messages to others on his phone. Hu Ke did not want to pay attention to him. She leaned against the car window and closed her eyes to take a nap. She was woken up by Wen Huai’s message.

When Wen Huai went upstairs and realized that she was not around, she almost lost her soul. She thought that something had happened to Hu Ke. After confirming that she was safe, she turned off her phone with a long sigh and reminded Hu Ke to send her a message after she left to not scare her without saying anything.

During this time, Bai Xiao had been looking at her with interest.

Hu Ke couldn’t speak, so she would always use “Mhm” to express her affirmation and “Ah” to express her denial. This was the first time Bai Xiao had seen Hu Ke communicate with someone on the phone.

After Hu Ke hung up, Bai Xiao slowly said, “Are you born mute?”

Hu Ke rolled his eyes at him, got out of the car, and walked upstairs. She thought to herself, ‘How long have you been investigating me? Why are you still asking such a question?’

Bai Xiao looked at Hu Ke’s back and chuckled before returning to his room.

Bai Xiao walked to his room and seemed to have thought of something. He went down to look for Bian Fang.

Bian Fang had just finished cleaning the kitchen. When she saw Bai Xiao coming down, she hurriedly asked respectfully, “Young Master, what can I do for you?”

“Does Hu Ke have a record of her meals and work schedule for the past two days? Let me take a look.”

In order to ensure the health of the fetus, the family hired a nutritionist in addition to Bian Fang. The daily dietary standards were matched and recorded, including morning sickness.

Bai Xiao flipped through the week’s situation and instructed Bian Fang, “In the future, send her a cup of milk every night before bed. Prepare some food that suppresses nausea and morning sickness. Send it up to her later.”

Bian Fang agreed and began to prepare.

After Hu Ke took a shower, she wiped her hair and went downstairs to pour some water. She happened to bump into Bian Fang, who was bringing her milk. Bian Fang smiled gently and handed the milk to Hu Ke. She pulled her to a chair and took a hairdryer to dry her hair.

“Young Master just said that you should drink a small cup of milk every night before you go to bed. This is freshly heated. There’s also sugar added to increase your immunity and it’s good for sleep. Drink it first. I’ll help you dry your hair.”

Hu Ke was stunned for a moment. She did not know what Bai Xiao was up to. He had just said that she had evil intentions, but in the next second, he asked someone to heat up milk for her to drink.

Was Bai Xiao suffering from schizophrenia?

Hu Ke considered the question doubtfully, but drank the milk.

The milk with sugar was warmed by the small stove. After drinking a cup, her entire stomach felt like it was ironed.

Bian Fang helped her blow dry her hair. Under the warm yellow light, there was only the buzzing of the hairdryer. Her scalp was also massaged by someone with moderate strength. Hu Ke closed his eyes in satisfaction and enjoyed it.

By the time her hair was dry, Hu Ke was about to fall asleep. Bian Fang gently woke Hu Ke up and urged her to go upstairs to sleep.

Bai Xiao sat at his desk and looked at the best investment plan that he had discussed with Wen Huai at the bar.
