Chapter 1294

Watching the few people walk away, Baili Xia’s gaze remained fixed ahead, unable to calm her inner turmoil.

Just a moment ago, she was so close to the Old Master, and now she watches Nangong Yun being so close to him.

She dearly hopes that one day she could also reunite with the Old Master and properly show her filial piety.

Earlier, when the Old Master looked at her and called her “You’er,” the tenderness in his eyes was so overwhelming, it almost drowned her.

The love the Old Master had for Bei Qingyou was undoubtedly the truest and purest, and the longing in his eyes was so clear for her to see.

This genuineness, even the Old Madam couldn’t compare.

Suddenly, her right hand was tightly grasped.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t say a word, simply pulling her to leave.

His figure, indescribably cold!

Clearly, he was angry.

Baili Xia noticed it too and quickly apologized, “Brother, I’m sorry.”

Mu Xiaoyao remained silent, merely holding her hand and walking in a sullen manner.

Baili Xia silently blamed herself; she truly was too emotional earlier.

Even though she had previously promised them she wouldn’t reveal her identity until everything was clear.

Yet her actions just now, if someone suspected, they might investigate their matters.

Baili Xia hung her head low, like a child who had done something wrong, allowing Mu Xiaoyao to drag her all the way back to the room’s entrance.

…

Baili Xia took out the key and opened the door, stepping into her room, with Mu Xiaoyao following her in.

Evidently, his anger towards Baili Xia had not subsided yet.

“Alright, Brother, don’t be angry anymore. I’ll definitely be more careful in the future.”

Mu Xiaoyao walked over to the coffee table, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it down.

Seeing him staying silent, Baili Xia added, “I really realize my mistake.

I promise there won’t be a next time.”

Only then did Mu Xiaoyao glance at her and said calmly, “What you did was very risky.”

Baili Xia nodded vigorously; as long as he spoke, everything could be discussed.

She feared nothing more than his prolonged silence.

“I know, thank you for caring, Brother. I assure you it won’t happen again.”

Seeing her speak so earnestly, Mu Xiaoyao gently shook his head, as if to let it go.

He could tell that her excitement earlier wasn’t intentional.

However, such a lapse shouldn’t be allowed.

Baili Xia poured him another cup of tea, pushing it in front of him.

Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “By the way, there’s a banquet on their side tonight. I want to go see Youyang Pavilion.”

Mu Xiaoyao, just about to take the cup of tea, paused his hand, then pulled it back.

He understood what Baili Xia meant.

Since confirming the blood relation and roughly confirming that Bei Qingyou might be Baili Xia’s biological mother, she wanted to visit Youyang Pavilion, where Bei Qingyou used to live.

Tonight is the banquet, so everyone’s attention would naturally be focused there.

Youyang Pavilion already had few people, and today many servants would probably be allocated for the banquet.

With fewer people, it was indeed a good opportunity.

But Mu Xiaoyao shook his head, “No, I don’t have time to accompany you.”

Tonight, the Bei Family is hosting a banquet with many important guests to attend.

For example, Uncle.

However, Baili Xia wasn’t aware of any of these arrangements.

Though Mu Xiaoyao knew Uncle would come, he was unaware of the plans after his arrival, so he couldn’t leave on his own accord.

He needed to first welcome Mu Xiaojiu to discuss the plan.

“I don’t need you to accompany me, I’m just going for a look,” Baili Xia continued to persuade him.
