Mr.CEO Looks Exactly the Same as My Son!-Chapter 718: Feeling a Bit Uncomfortable

Her gaze occasionally darted towards the man beside her. Compared to two years ago, Beichen Rui was even more impressive and mature now. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The cold aura around him somehow made him even more captivating.

"Sister-in-law, I wonder if Brother Rui ever told you that when we were kids, I once broke something of his, and he got really angry with me. It scared me to death at the time. Now that he has a sister-in-law, his temper must have improved quite a bit, right?"

Ye Xinluo glanced over at Beichen Rui, who was still looking down, absorbed in his phone.

But wasn’t that just his style? Whoever messed with his things would inevitably earn his wrath.

"Did he have a bad temper as a kid?" she responded absentmindedly. Her abdomen was aching intensely due to her period, but Liang Qianqian clung to her arm, leaving her no choice but to soldier on and respond.

"It wasn’t too bad. I remember joking with Brother Rui back then, saying I would marry him when we grew up!"

The remark caused Ye Xinluo to furrow her brows slightly. Regardless, that was a childhood thing, and now that she and Beichen Rui were about to be married, was it really appropriate to say this in front of her?

Thinking this, she smiled politely, her intention to brush off the conversation dissipating somewhat. But Liang Qianqian seemed oblivious to her reaction, continuing on her own, "I remember asking Brother Rui to play house with me. Thinking back now, it was quite funny..."

Suddenly, as if realizing something, she covered her mouth with a hand, and after a moment, spoke apologetically, "Sorry, sister-in-law, I didn’t mean anything by it. Please don’t mind."

She turned to glance at her. Though she was saying sorry, there was no trace of apology in her eyes. Originally nonchalant, Ye Xinluo actually felt a little bothered after hearing her say that.

Feeling inexplicably uneasy, she sensed that Liang Qianqian was deliberately saying these things for her to hear. She sorted out her thoughts and suppressed her feelings, putting on a polite smile as she responded amicably, "It’s okay."

A surge of pain hit her abdomen, and she instinctively squeezed the hand she had resting beside her as Liang Qianqian continued to chatter away, clinging to her arm.

"Come here." Beichen Rui’s calm voice rang out. She looked up at him to see he was looking at her. Seeing her unresponsive, he repeated, "Come here."

Only then did she realize he was calling her. She gave an apologetic smile to Liang Qianqian and walked over to Beichen Rui. As soon as she sat down, the man leaned in, whispering, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Her instinctive reply was a soft "Mm," only then realizing a question. Wasn’t he just engrossed in his phone?

Before she could process it, he spoke again, "Do you want to rest upstairs?"

"No, no need." Especially with guests around; retreating upstairs might invite gossip.

"Don’t worry about them; I’m here," he said, seeming to perceive her thoughts.

"Really, no need. Sitting for a while will be fine." She gave him a slight smile, signaling that he shouldn’t worry.

Their interaction caught Liang Qianqian’s attention from a short distance away. She shifted towards Beichen Jue, looping her arm through his as she spoke, "Grandpa Bei Chen, look at how loving Brother Rui and sister-in-law are. It makes me so envious. I want a boyfriend too."
