The Maybach finally stopped, and the driver opened the door for them.
Bai Xiao walked in front without saying a word. Hu Ke followed behind him like a duckling.
“Young Master is back. The meal has just been prepared.” The housekeeper, Bian Fang, welcomed him at the door. She placed her slippers at Bai Xiao’s feet and looked up to see Hu Ke following behind.
She had long received a call from Yu Wei and learned the ins and outs of the matter. In the face of such a person, Bian Fang did not have a good expression, but because of her identity, she still gave Hu Ke a pair of slippers and placed them aside.
Hu Ke nodded at her. After changing into her slippers, she tidied up her shoes and entered the room.
After Bai Xiao returned home, he ignored Hu Ke and went to the dining room.
He had not eaten all day. Now that he was hungry, he did not want to talk to Hu Ke, so he ignored her.
Hu Ke could not find Bai Xiao after changing her shoes. It was impolite to run around in someone else’s house. Hu Ke hesitated for a moment and stood quietly at the door, waiting for Bian Fang’s arrangements.
“Young Master has gone to the dining room. Please come with me,” Bian Fang said coldly. She brought her to the dining room and left.
After all, Hu Ke was pregnant with a child from the Bai family. It was not appropriate for Bian Fang to go overboard, but it was still fine to make the little girl feel uncomfortable.
The table was filled with delicacies. Bai Xiao was already eating by himself, but when Hu Ke looked around, he realized that there were only bowls and plates in front of him. There were no chopsticks or spoons.
Hu Ke hesitated for a moment and decided to sit quietly. She could not accept using her hands to grab food to eat.
After Bai Xiao finished eating, he returned to his room and did not look at Hu Ke from the beginning to the end. Living under the roof with this woman was already his limit. He was afraid that he would be triggered if he looked at her again.
After Bai Xiao left, Bian Fang came out to clean up the dishes. She glanced at Hu Ke without batting an eyelid and sighed in her heart. What was the young lady doing? Why did she have to get pregnant before marriage and even come here to force a marriage?
“Miss Hu, please follow me. I’ll take you to the guest room.” After packing up, Bian Fang looked at Hu Ke, who had been waiting silently at the side, and sighed.
Bian Fang left after bringing Hu Ke to the guest room. She held her breath and felt extremely awkward. After all, she had worked in the Bai family for almost 20 years. Although she was not a famous person, most of the time, Bai Xiao would thank her.
However, this person only nodded. Up until now, she had not said a word. She was more arrogant than anyone else!
Bian Fang thought about it unhappily and went to do her own things.
Hu Ke did not realize that something was wrong. She felt that Bian Fang might have just been a little careless. Although her attitude towards her was a little cold, it was better than keeping an eye on her 24 hours a day.
Although the guest room was not as big as the master bedroom, there was a desk and an independent bathroom. After taking a shower, Hu Ke finally felt more comfortable.
She sat at the desk, picked up a pen and paper, and began to write something.
By the time Hu Ke put down the pen and shook her sore wrist, almost two hours had passed.
Hu Ke had not eaten since noon. She did not notice it when she was writing seriously, but when she was done, she realized that she was extremely hungry. Her stomach was starting to hurt.
Hu Ke sighed, opened the door, and walked out.
She had to find something to eat. Otherwise, she would probably have a stomachache tonight.
Bai Xiao’s place was not very big. Hu Ke found the kitchen according to her memory. She opened the fridge to find some milk or snacks, but she heard a voice behind her.
“What are you looking for?”
Hu Ke trembled in fear. When she turned around and realized that it was Bian Fang, she heaved a sigh of relief. She gestured with her hands. [Am I disturbing you? I’m a little hungry and want to find something to eat.]
Bian Fang looked at her seriously gesturing and recalled that she had not said a word since she entered. He suddenly realized that this girl did not seem to be as arrogant as he thought. She did not know how to speak.
Bian Fang felt a little guilty when she realized this. She thought about how she had deliberately not given her cutlery at night, causing her to come out in the middle of the night to find something to eat. She couldn’t bear it and felt a little ashamed.
What had she done! Bullying a disabled person would send her to hell!
