Secret That Can't Be Hidden

Hearing that it would easily affect the fetus, the atmosphere between the two of them eased a little.

Bai Xiao turned around and returned to his room. Hu Ke sat on the sofa and took deep breaths with the nutritionist to calm herself down.

In the future, Bai Xiao and her would live separate lives!

Previously, Bai Xiao dealt with the company's matters every day and left early in the morning and returned late at night. The two of them hardly saw each other. Those few days, Hu Ke lived happily.

Initially, she thought that their relationship had eased and they could get along peacefully. She did not expect Bai Xiao to look for trouble the moment he returned.

This time, Hu Ke was really angry. She held her stomach and rested on the sofa for a long time.

Upstairs, Bai Xiao was also sitting on a chair and sulking. When he saw Hu Ke, he felt his brain fill with blood.

Originally, when he was working in the company, he was already annoyed by the battle of wits and courage with the old foxes of the board of directors every day. When he came back, he even had to quarrel with Hu Ke.

Bai Xiao felt that he needed to find a master to take a look at their birth characters and see if they were natural enemies.

Hu Ke calmed herself down and went upstairs. These few days, Wen Huai had been busy dealing with the bar and urging her to get married. She was so anxious that he could not sleep.

Hu Ke had learned how to mix incense at home, and the materials she had bought had arrived. She planned to make some calming incense for Wen Huai so that she could at least have a good sleep.

White chrysanthemums, acacia flowers, sandalwood, lilacs… Dozens of materials were placed in a small mortar by Hu Ke to grind. She then added essential oil to mold them into the shape of a small tower suitable for lighting.

Hu Ke looked at the remaining incense and decided to light it for herself tonight.

Hu Ke lit the incense and fell asleep not long after. Bai Xiao was still tossing and turning in the next room, unable to fall asleep.

After a few rounds, Bai Xiao was annoyed. He went downstairs and sat on the sofa alone to sulk.

The lack of sleep made him more and more frustrated. In front of his subordinates and family, he was still the cold and reliable CEO.

However, every time he was alone in the dead of night, Bai Xiao felt that there was a high chance that he would turn into a wild beast. He was so frustrated that he only wanted to kill someone.

Hu Ke suddenly woke up in the middle of the night. She got up and looked at her phone. It was past three in the morning. Hu Ke yawned and decided to go downstairs to drink some water before sleeping.

The water dispenser was around the corner. The lights in the villa were not turned on, and only the small wall lamp on the stairs shone to ensure that the owner would not fall because he could not see the way clearly.

Under the light, Hu Ke could vaguely see a figure sitting motionless on the sofa.

Hu Ke became vigilant. Although she knew that the villa's security was very good, she was still afraid of an accident.

She approached cautiously step by step. Before she could reach the sofa, the figure spoke.

"It's me. Stay back."

It was Bai Xiao. Hu Ke heaved a sigh of relief and put down the porcelain cup in her hand.

She originally thought that if it was a bad person, she would use this to hit him. Now that she realized that it was Bai Xiao, Hu Ke was relieved. She planned to turn around and get some water before going upstairs.

Bai Xiao looked at Hu Ke's back and the redness in his eyes intensified.

He opened the living room window in frustration. The cold wind in the middle of the night blew in with the fragrance of flowers, making Bai Xiao feel better.

Hu Ke went upstairs. Thinking of the blood vessels and dark circles in Bai Xiao's eyes, he hesitated for a moment, took a small incense tower, lit it, and went downstairs.

Bai Xiao was blown by the cold wind for a long time before he felt his anxious emotions calm down. He looked at the gradually rising light outside the window and decided to go back to bed for a while.

It was one thing whether he could sleep or not, but the most important thing was to conserve his energy and prepare for today's meeting.

Bai Xiao walked upstairs and saw Hu Ke walking down the stairs. She seemed to be holding something in her hand.

"Why are you walking around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Checking WeChat steps?" Bai Xiao's tone was very bad. He still had a grudge against Hu Ke and felt that nothing good would happen once she came.

Hu Ke could not be bothered to explain to him. She stuffed the incense plate containing the small incense tower into Bai Xiao's arms and was about to leave.

Anyway, Hu Ke had already written the things to take note of on the paper. It was up to Bai Xiao to read it.

However, Bai Xiao clearly did not intend to let her off so easily. He placed the small incense plate on the table and pulled Hu Ke into his arms.
