Chapter 45, Last night was a restless one

Bai Xiao peeled beans with single-minded dedication as Chen Wenxiang and Bai Xuan, under the pretense of being "in-laws," visited the Ye Family for the first time. They were neither offered water nor snacks, a treatment so lacking that it was an embarrassment.

There was a need to find some topic of conversation; otherwise, sitting in silence was just too awkward.

Seeing the dark circles under Bai Xiao's eyes, Chen Wenxiang asked with concern, "Xiaoxiao, you should start using eye cream. Look, you've got dark circles."

"The best eye cream wouldn't work," Bai Xiao finally stopped peeling green beans and looked up with a sigh, "I was tormented for half of the night, how could I not have dark circles?"

"What?" Chen Wenxiang's face lit up with joy.

A young couple awake and restless in the middle of the night? If only Bai Xiao's belly would show some promise and carry the Ye's dragon seed, then the Bai Family would soar high with success.
