Chapter 454: Chapter 454: e Back Chapter 454: Chapter 454: e Back “The Shang Family has nothing to do with me, never had, never will. I am just Bai Xiao, my parents are the eldest of the Bai Family, and my brothers and sisters are the relatives who raised me. No one else matters to me!” Bai Xiao firmly defined her relationship with the Shang Family.
“How can no one else matter? What am I, chopped liver? I’m not ‘no one else’,” An Zhiyuan protested, feeling slighted. After all the trouble of marrying a bride, his bride didn’t seem to keep him in her heart, and that stung.
Seeing An Zhiyuan get genuinely mad for a change, Bai Xiao laughed uncontrollably.
“Big brother An, you’re my man, you’re one of us! How could you be ‘no one else’? You’re being so irresponsible, considering yourself an outsider,” she teased.
An Zhiyuan frowned, his little woman was being mischievous.
“Ah, I’ll deal with you sooner or later!” An Zhiyuan leaned closer, whispering in her ear, accidentally brushing his lips against her earlobe, his breath somewhat heavy and warm.
Bai Xiao blushed! Embarrassed and awkward, ever since they got their marriage certificate, An Zhiyuan had been unavoidable, just no real opportunity had arisen yet. This married couple had been incredibly busy this past month, not even settling into their own little home yet.
Not to mention the house assigned to them was still being tidied up; they should find it ready upon their return, especially now that An Zhiyuan’s status had changed.
But the look An Zhiyuan was giving her, only a fool wouldn’t know what he was thinking.
“We are on a bus, mind the surroundings!” Bai Xiao warned him.
The way An Zhiyuan looked at her now! Just like a big bad wolf spotting a little bunny.
Couldn’t wait to gobble her up.
“Now you think of the surroundings? What were you doing just before?” An Zhiyuan looked at Bai Xiao, who seemed quite pleased with herself, and felt a tickling in his heart, his fingers tightening around her wrist.
“Stop being improper!” Bai Xiao panicked, although there weren’t many people on this sleeper bus besides them two on the lower bunks and one person sleeping above. Still, with people passing by frequently, being seen by others while both dressed in uniform wasn’t a good look.
“Marrying a wife is not easy at all!” An Zhiyuan muttered under his breath, but he did rein in his behavior a great deal.
They arrived at the Capital City, and An Zhiyuan alone carried two suitcases while Bai Xiao, hands in her pockets, followed beside him, speaking softly about her last visit to the Capital City, just like a docile wife.
Leaving the station, they saw An Zhigao waving at them from a distance.
“My big brother came to pick us up!” An Zhiyuan informed Bai Xiao on the bus that his brother knew they were ing back and insisted on picking them up personally.
He really couldn’t refuse.
Exiting the platform, An Zhigao came over, took the luggage from An Zhiyuan’s hands, and punched him squarely in the chest, “You nearly scared your brother to death, acting all heroic. I almost had a heart attack but seeing you safe and sound in front of me relaxed me instantly.”
His eyes genuinely reddened, having worried for so long, fearing something might happen to his brother. Even though he knew the dangers were part of the job, nobody could anticipate the emotional turmoil when a loved one faced such dire life-or-death decisions.
An Zhiyuan laughed, “Big brother, look, I’m fine, aren’t I? Don’t worry, your little brother is tough! Besides, your sister-in-law is a doctor. Here, Bai Xiao, this is my big brother; big brother, this is my wife Bai Xiao.”
Bai Xiao stepped forward, “Big brother!”
