Chapter 1300

Baili Xia was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed.

Only the servants were in the hall; Nangong Xu and Mu Xiaoyao were busy with their own things.

Upon entering the hall, Bei Tianyou was not in a hurry to have Baili Xia try on clothes.

He summoned a servant to brew them a pot of premium Red Rain Green, then looked up at Baili Xia.

“Come over, have a drink with me.”

Baili Xia originally planned to find an excuse to return to her room, but after meeting his sincere gaze, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

She walked over, sat down across from him, picked up the cup to taste, but couldn’t discern anything special about the tea.

“The name of this tea is Red Rain Green.

Only when the seasons change from summer to fall do we have a red rain, and only then do the youngest buds wish to emerge, hence the name.”

“Red rain?” Baili Xia was a bit puzzled.

Bei Miao seemed scenic everywhere, with pleasant views and good weather.

Does such a place also experience red rain?

“The red rain in Bei Miao is different from what you often talk about. Bei Miao’s red rain is formed by steam from the Red River, natural, without any corrosive effect. On the contrary, it can even enhance beauty.”

Bei Tianyou poured her another cup, leisurely introducing it.

“Red rain doesn’t occur often; sometimes, you can count the yearly occurrences on one hand.”

“So, this tea is very precious?” Baili Xia looked at the cup, which held seemingly ordinary tea, and shook her head.

“I am just a crude person who doesn’t know how to appreciate this tea.

It’s wasted on me.”

“Have I been neglectful in some way recently, making you unhappy?” Suddenly, Bei Tianyou changed the topic.

Baili Xia couldn’t quite react; weren’t they just talking about red rain and tea?

She looked up at Bei Tianyou, her lips slightly moving.

“It seems you have a big opinion of me.” Bei Tianyou leaned back against the sofa.

His leisurely demeanor made him appear as if he was above the ordinary world.

Transcendent, elegant, not at all like someone dominating the business world.

Now, he looked more like a master from beyond the material world.

Baili Xia withdrew her gaze and looked at the cup in front of her on the coffee table with a trace of hesitation.

She shouldn’t bring personal feelings into her interactions here with everyone, yet she unknowingly did so.

She couldn’t forget the first time she came, when she was massaging Tang Jixin, and Tang Jixin spoke in a semi-conscious state.

“Qingyou, hurry, hurry…”

Tang Jixin and Bei Qingyou should have a very good relationship, perhaps even deep feelings.

Why Tang Jixin was always taking excessive medication, why she sometimes seemed normal but other times a bit manic.

She knew there had to be some conspiracy or secret hidden within, but she was powerless.

Tang Jixin, maybe, really is my aunt…

“I thought there was nothing you couldn’t openly discuss with me.”

Baili Xia didn’t speak, and Bei Tianyou continued to stare at her face, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

“Was it only my assumption?”

“…Brother You, I’m sorry, I just… there’s indeed some… confusion.”

She didn’t know how to express it; she did feel a bit stuffy and resistant initially, all because of his attitude towards Tang Jixin.

She really didn’t want even someone as unworldly as Brother You to get entangled in the intrigue and cold indifference of the wealthy.

But in fact, he was born into a wealthy family, inherently part of it, so how could there be talk of whether he was involved or not?
