He Jiayu didn’t reply, but forced himself to continue listening .
The voice on the other end sounded arrogant and roguish . “I heard you’re married? To some petty doctor? Heh, I bet you’re regretting it now . If you’re with me, at least you can get as many LV and Dior bags as you want . Why stick around that little piece of shit?”
He Jiayu’s face darkened .
Who on earth was this man?
As if realizing how awkward this one-sided conversation was, the man cleared his throat and said, “Meet me at Qingqing Gallery tomorrow night at seven . See you then . ”
He hung up after that .
He Jiayu raised an eyebrow, tossed the phone aside, and sat down quietly on the sofa with his legs crossed .
Su Xiaomo walked out of the bathroom, rubbing her wet hair with a towel and her skin pink from the shower . She was surprised to see He Jiayu sitting there . “Why are you not in bed?”
Mr . He was all about a healthy routine and he always went to bed early after putting Cuddlie to sleep .
He Jiayu smiled mildly . “Come here . ”
Su Xiaomo went up to him and He Jiayu used more force than necessary to pull her down onto his lap .
“Hey… what are you doing? Cuddlie will be up for her milk in a moment…” Su Xiaomo struggled . He Jiayu lowered his voice, which was as mellow as the sound of a cello . “I’m just… doing your hair for you . ”
Embarrassed, Su Xiaomo stopped struggling .
He Jiayu adjusted her position, then began to carefully blowdry her hair .
“Cutie He… You’re so gentle when you’re not in bed…” Su Xiaomo mumbled . The hairdryer was a little noisy and He Jiayu had to switch it off to speak . “What was that?”
“Nothing! It was nothing!” Su Xiaomo denied right away .
To He Jiayu, that anxious look on her face was more like… guilt .
He Jiayu blinked, then said slowly, “Tomorrow is my day off . What shall we do?”
“Wow, really?” Su Xiaomo was pleasantly surprised .
Being a doctor was hard work . He Jiayu might be called away in the middle of the night for a surgery, and it had been a while since they last went on a date .
“Yup . ”
Su Xiaomo happily sketched out a plan . “Let’s take Cuddlie to her health checkup first, then leave her at Xiaxia’s . After that, we can grab something to eat and go see a movie!”
“Alright . ” He Jiayu nodded . He then added casually, “We can check out a gallery while we’re at it . ”
The next day .

They took Cuddlie to her health checkup and got her vaccinated before leaving her with the Sheng family, asking An Xiaxia to look after her for a while .
“Where do you want to eat?” He Jiayu asked .
“Anywhere will do . ” Su Xiaomo was in a great mood . She was never the sensitive type and had failed to notice that He Jiayu had been acting sulky since last night .
They went to watch a movie after lunch .
It was a coming-of-age movie .
And the story was about first loves .
Su Xiaomo knew about He Jiayu’s first love, who was Luo Qianran, the girl who had died for him .
As for her… Sigh . Some things were best left unsaid .
However, He Jiayu asked in an earnest voice, “Momo, did you have boyfriends before?”
Despite He Jiayu’s mild tone, Su Xiaomo spat out her drink at those words .
Wiping her mouth hastily, she asked in a surprised tone, “Why do you ask?”
Seeing her reaction, He Jiayu narrowed his eyes, looking like an animal that was checking out its prey .
“Heh… oh, didn’t you say we’re going to a gallery?”
She abruptly changed the subject . He Jiayu gave her a pensive look, then played along .
“That’s right . ”
The movie ended at that moment .
He rose to his feet, looking a little forsaken .
“Come, let’s go visit Qingqing Gallery . ”
