Chapter 1125

Dongfang Jin still felt uneasy and added: “You can follow me, I’ll protect you…”

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Mu Xiaojiu standing nearby.

“When has a member of my Mu family ever needed the protection of someone from your Dongfang Family?”

While speaking, Mu Xiaojiu approached Baili Xia and pulled her over to his side.

Dongfang Jin merely snorted coldly without bothering with Mu Xiaojiu, his gaze still fixed on Baili Xia.

“Remember what I said, don’t put yourself in danger.”

After speaking, he nodded and then did not persist any further, turning to walk towards Qin Yimo and Sima Liuyue who were chatting.

It seemed like he had agreed to accompany his mother to visit Sima Liuyue.

Baili Xia just didn’t know that Qin Yimo and Sima Liuyue were acquainted.

Once Dongfang Jin left, Baili Xia hurriedly pushed away Mu Xiaojiu, who was embracing her.

Now this gesture, in front of so many people, those who know would think it was a senior showing affection for a junior, but those who don’t would definitely think they are a couple.

Although they were indeed in a relationship, it hadn’t been made public yet, so this secret love could only be hidden away.

Baili Xia pushed a few times but found she couldn’t budge him; the man beside her was still holding her very tight.

However, it was just his large hand on her shoulder, making it look like the affection of a senior for a junior.

Baili Xia was nervous because she truly felt guilty.

“Uncle…” Baili Xia gently called out.

Only then did Mu Xiaojiu restrain his aura and slowly relaxed his hand that was somewhat stiff.

Before everything is settled, patience is still necessary.

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Baili Xia and after a long pause, uttered a few words.

“Stay safe.”

After that, he turned and walked towards Sir Mu.

Watching the retreating back of Mu Xiaojiu, Baili Xia lightly stuck out her tongue.

Being with this man was really stressful; sometimes he acts willfully without considering the consequences.

Perhaps, once everything is out in the open, it won’t be like this anymore.

Thinking about it, in her mind, she unexpectedly envisioned some of their lives together in the future.

Those moments of living together, that intimacy, and sweetness that would make anyone envious…

Suddenly nudged by someone, Baili Xia snapped out of her daydream.

“What are you thinking about, looking so silly?” Mu Ziying teased from the side.

“It’s nothing, just pondering things.” Her cheeks turned a shade of red, and Baili Xia quickly changed the subject.

“Yeah, what do you think, how come Sima Liuyue seems to be very close to Mr. Jin’s mother?”

Mu Ziying followed Baili Xia’s gaze.

Qin Yimo was holding Sima Liuyue’s hand, which had been clasped like that since they met, never parting.

The two of them were deep in lively conversation.

From the kind expression in Qin Yimo’s eyes, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Sima Liuyue, without a hint of falsehood.

During the two years Baili Xia stayed at the Dongfang Family’s villa, she had never seen Sima Liuyue come to the Dongfang Family, nor heard of her having any close relationship with Qin Yimo.

“It’s not that strange, Dongfang Jin’s mother and Sima Liuyue’s mother were good sisters in the past, and they had a great relationship.”

“Good sisters?” Baili Xia was slightly taken aback, such relationships within the Eight Big Families were quite surprising to her.

“But when I lived in the Dongfang Family’s villa for two years, I never saw Sima Liuyue visit.”

Mu Ziying pursed her lips: “That might be because Sima Liuyue’s mother passed away many years ago. However, it’s said that Qin Yimo has always been very good to Sima Liuyue.”
