I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family-Chapter 146 - 147 Ye Xiu Really Burned High Incense

"Ye Xiu is truly blessed to have found such a great man like Bai Da. I heard she doesn’t even have to hand over her salary; Bai Da really adores her."

"Did you hear? Ye Xiu bought a watch, cost her several hundred."

Her life, bit by bit.

Every sentence Bai Da had said that once moved her.

And today, that person who brought the message, looked at her with such disdainful eyes. As if she had committed some unforgivable crime.

"Ye Xiu, Bai Da is in trouble, how can you still have the nerve to teach here as if nothing happened?

Your heart must be made of iron, he fainted because of you."

At the time she was in such a rush, she hadn’t thought it through, but as she entered the village, the looks from everyone along the way were actually somewhat...

She felt like a criminal, a criminal who had hurt Bai Da. Although they did not voice it, their glances, their actions, all but made it clear.

It was too terrifying, her heart was ice-cold.

So cold, she shivered.

"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu, what’s wrong? Why are you shaking?"

Bai Da was extremely distressed, wishing he could suffer in Ye Xiu’s place, but Xiuxiu kept her eyes closed, refusing to look at him or speak.

This couldn’t go on, Bai Da immediately spoke up.

"Xiuxiu, shall I take you to see a doctor, okay?"

Ye Xiu’s eyes suddenly opened wide, she looked at Bai Da, her gaze void of any emotion, as if she did not want him to exist.

This made Bai Da even more panicked. He felt that although Xiuxiu was right before his eyes, she was slipping through his fingers.

"Xiuxiu, no need to go, please don’t scare me, okay?"

Bai Da tucked Ye Xiu in, then sat by the side.

His Xiuxiu was right here, but he felt they were miles apart, so far that he couldn’t grasp.

Ye Xiu closed her eyes, she had no strength left to speak.

Time just passed by, the room quiet except for the sound of breathing.

Tonight was exceptionally long.

...

Early in the morning, before five, Ye Xiu got up. She promptly packed her things, ready to head back to school, waking Bai Da in the process.

"Xiuxiu, didn’t you take leave?"

Why, then, are you leaving?

It couldn’t be, absolutely not.

"If you still want us to have a future, let me go. I need time, I can’t face you now; every time I see you, I can’t help but think of conspiracy theories, I find you terrifying, Bai Da, let me cool down, otherwise I’ll break down."

Ye Xiu looked at Bai Da calmly, a night had passed and she still couldn’t calm down. Even now, although she appeared composed, her heart was in turmoil.

She might have never truly understood this man in front of her.

Behind his honesty, perhaps lay conspiracies you can’t see clearly.

She felt afraid, hesitant. Even, a bit terrified, and mainly, disillusioned.

Suddenly, she felt grateful that Xingxing wasn’t here because Bai Da’s possible coldness would have turned Xingxing into something unimaginable.

"Xiuxiu, don’t be afraid of me. How can you be afraid of me? I am your husband."

Bai Da’s eyes, already reddened from a sleepless night, now looked even more terrifying.

"So, you want to calm down, is that it?"

She needed to think thoroughly about their relationship, to clear up what to do next.

"Alright..."

Bai Da’s word ’alright’ seemed to expend all his strength.

"I’ll have Bai Yu and Bai Ye take you."

Bai Da slumped completely, as if he had lost all his energy.

"Mom, let me take you. Let Bai Ye go cut pig grass."

Bai Yu immediately came out and followed behind Ye Xiu.

"Alright."

Ye Xiu knew that if she didn’t agree, Bai Da would not let her leave, so she might as well just agree.

The two women left the village and they encountered several people along the way, all of whom were watching her.

This time, she stood up straight, not caring in the slightest.

"Mom, did you have an argument with Dad?"

As they were about to reach the town, Bai Yu, who had been holding back the whole way, finally couldn’t help but ask.

"I thought you wouldn’t speak."

Ye Xiu actually understood this son very well; his thoughts had always been deep, and it was often unclear what he was really thinking.

But one thing was for sure: Bai Yu was smart. He knew exactly what he wanted and how to go about getting it.

"Can I know why? Because of Bai Zhi? Actually, Dad never made her do anything; it was Bai Zhi’s own choice to do those things, she wanted to contribute, right?"

Bai Yu never felt they had made any mistake; it was Bai Zhi’s own willingness, whether it was doing housework or whatever, she never spoke up, so who was to blame.

"So you think it’s justifiable to watch your sister take on everything?

Bai Yu, I’m actually disappointed in you; I always thought you were a good brother, but it turns out..."

Bai Yu, I know you must think I’m being unreasonable. Your father is so tired, how could I still argue with him, right?"

Bai Yu frowned; that wasn’t what he meant.

"There’s no need to deny it, I can see it clearly. Let me tell you, the issues between your father and me, whether I’m angry or not, they are purely our business, and they have nothing to do with you, understand?"

Ye Xiu didn’t know what Bai Yu was thinking, but it was clearly written on his face that he blamed her.

"Mom, how can it have nothing to do with us? Everyone will talk." It was a matter of losing face.

People would say, "Look, that family is arguing."

"If you don’t talk about it, if your father doesn’t mention it, who would know? Arguing is normal, but making it known to everyone, whose fault is that?

Moreover, Bai Yu, you are being somewhat selfish. In your heart, what I feel is not important; what matters is that it embarrasses you, right?

Let me guess, in your heart, is there only yourself?"

Ye Xiu watched as Bai Yu’s face changed, the smile on her lips disappearing. This was her son, so self-centered.

"I apologize; I did neglect you all and didn’t bring you up well, but Bai Yu, you have to understand something; I am your mother. It’s not your place to interfere in what I do, understand?

You can blame me, you can even hate me, but the one thing you can’t do is control me. If you think you can influence my thoughts, then let me tell you, you are too naive. Go back. To have you as a son, I am truly sad."

Ye Xiu’s words stabbed him deeply and also ripped away the facade he had always maintained.

"Mom, I’m also very disappointed that you see me this way; I was just concerned about you."

Bai Yu’s pupils narrowed, and his gaze darkened. He had not expected his mother to be so cutting now, showing no mercy.

"Go back."

Ye Xiu didn’t want to say more and simply walked away. Bai Yu stayed in place for a long time, his hands clenched tightly until Ye Xiu’s figure was no longer visible.

Perhaps,

Perhaps,
