Chapter 1186

“When did Brother learn to speak like this?”

Baili Xia smiled faintly, but did not turn around, still gazing out the window.

“He’s always been this way in handling matters, never likes consulting with others.”

“He decided to let our engagement proceed, even if I went to see him, he would surely give reasons for me to obey.”

She understood Uncle too well, and because of that understanding, even the strength to confront him had been worn away.

Mu Xiaoyao, however, disagreed: “If you don’t speak up clearly, you’ll always feel resentful.

Even if you know you can’t change the outcome, isn’t it possible to accept it with peace of mind?”

“I won’t.” Baili Xia turned her head, staring at his handsome face.

“Why would he be like this?

Brother, you’ve lived with him for so many years, has he always been this way?”

“Always like this.”

“Why?”

She truly didn’t understand, how can a person’s personality be so cold, so solitary?

When there’s something, can’t he discuss it with others?

Or is it that Uncle was also shocked by today’s turmoil, his thoughts unable to function normally?

But at that time, she saw everything clearly.

Maybe, when the upheaval happened, everyone present was shocked, but among them, Uncle was completely unaffected.

He was so calm from beginning to end, so quiet, even, there wasn’t a ripple in his eyes.

Those who didn’t know would think he had foreseen this incident, that he had anticipated today’s meeting.

Although the two had a good relationship, and have already promised a lifetime commitment.

Yet, whenever something happened, she could see clearer each time.

It wasn’t him as a person she saw clearer, but their relationship, which she could never penetrate, never fully understand.

How could such a relationship continue, last a lifetime?

“I still say the same thing, if you have something on your mind, it’s better to speak directly to him. Both hiding away and not speaking a word, will only make the relationship worse.”

Mu Xiaoyao lowered his head looking at her, lightly speaking a truth he himself wasn’t sure of.

Baili Xia clenched her fists.

Outside, the sound of the maid walking upstairs slowly drifted in.

Baili Xia suddenly stood up, walked to the wardrobe, and took out a light coat to wear.

She turned around and walked towards the door.

Mu Xiaoyao did not chase after her, just calmly watched her walk away.

The maid stood at the door, brushing past Baili Xia, who walked away so hurriedly she missed the chance to call out to her.

She looked back at Mu Xiaoyao, stunned: “Mr.

Mu, then, this meal…”

“Take it away,” Mu Xiaoyao waved his hand and stopped paying attention to her.

He turned back to look at the chair Baili Xia had just been sitting on, a complicated glow in his eyes that even he couldn’t fathom.

Not to mention Baili Xia couldn’t see through Uncle, even he himself couldn’t.

But as a man, he thought it doesn’t matter if he can’t see through, it’s no big deal.

As long as he firmly believed that Uncle would never harm him, would never do anything that wronged him, that was enough.

Could it be that a woman’s thoughts and a man’s thinking are never in sync?

Is it because a lover’s eyes can’t tolerate the slightest fault, that relationships become even more complicated?

Looking at the gloomy twilight outside the window, he suddenly found his mood inexplicably sinking.

His mood, it seems, isn’t so good.

But why it isn’t good, he couldn’t say.

Having obeyed Uncle for so many years, now, could it be that like Baili Xia, he too had begun to harbor some rebellious feelings?
