Chapter 1224

Dongfang Jin saw her gloomy expression, and his mood also became somewhat subdued.

He couldn’t stand seeing her being treated unfairly, but she seemed to be enduring unfairness all the time.

However, he…

sometimes felt utterly powerless.

“Don’t think too much about these things.

You’ll be on vacation soon.

Let’s leave this matter for the winter break to figure out.”

Baili Xia looked at him, and Dongfang Jin seriously said, “I heard that Mr.

Bei went to seek medical help from Nangong Xu.

You probably know more about it than I do, did Nangong Xu agree?”

“He agreed.

He’s prepared to go to Bei Miao at the end of the year to treat him for a while.”

After thinking, she widened her eyes, meeting his gaze: “Jin, you mean…”

Dongfang Jin nodded: “We could give it a try.”

Baili Xia clenched her small hands, not saying anything more.

Her final two exams were approaching fast, and after they were over, the timing should align well with her master’s trip to Bei Miao.

Maybe, she could follow her master to Bei Miao for a visit.

But then, how should she deal with Uncle’s matters?

“Jin, I suddenly feel like having dessert.” Her mind was in complete disarray, and without something to eat, she couldn’t calm down.

“The same place as last time?” Dongfang Jin got up without another word: “I’ll take you there.”

Baili Xia finally smiled, standing up with him and heading towards the school parking lot.

There really were many things to think about, and it was all quite confusing.

If she made a trip to Bei Miao, could she really uncover some secrets?

…

When they came out of the dessert shop, Baili Xia was in a much better mood.

She has always been such an optimistic person.

Although she still had many questions in her heart, since she had decided to focus on her exams first, for the time being, she couldn’t let these affairs disturb her.

Dongfang Jin had also spent quite a lot of time and energy recently because of her matters.

After leaving the dessert shop, he checked his watch and looked at her sideways.

“You must be busy. I can just go back to the school and study on my own; go do your things.”

Baili Xia wasn’t trying to be thoughtful, she genuinely knew that he had really spent too much time on her issues recently.

Jin, as the general manager of a big corporation, had countless matters to handle, certainly far beyond what these kids had to deal with.

“Anyway, I really appreciate you, but since I know you don’t need it, I won’t say thanks.”

She waved her hand, ready to leave on her own.

However, Dongfang Jin chased after her: “No, I’ll take you back to school.”

“No need, I can take the bus back.”

“The bus?” Dongfang Jin frowned.

“Why that look? What’s wrong with taking the bus? How many people rely on it every day?”

Baili Xia pursed her lips, aware that in the eyes of these wealthy people, buses shouldn’t even exist in this world.

But if one day the buses truly disappeared, a great number of ordinary folks really wouldn’t know how to survive.

“I…”

“I will take you back, wait here for me, I’ll go get the car,” he insisted decisively.

The parking garage wasn’t far from here, located in the small plaza ahead, and it would only take a few minutes to bring the car over.

“Don’t you dare sneak away; I will chase you all the way to the school,” he warned her before leaving.

Baili Xia nodded her head, with no choice but to agree, standing in the center of the small plaza, silently staring at him.

In fact, she had an appointment with Guisu today, though it might be a stretch to call it an appointment; it was just that it was time for his acupuncture treatment.

Being with Jin, she worried Guisu might be reluctant to show up…
