Chapter 1303

“I’m sorry,” Baili Xia said sullenly, her hands holding the cup, her fingers already cold.

“But I…” Bei Tianyou stared at her, a complex light flashing in his eyes before disappearing, “I’m really grateful there’s someone like you.”

“Brother You…” What did he mean by that?

“You’re finally willing to call me Brother You again?” Bei Tianyou put down the cup.

After that fleeting complex expression, he had already returned to his usual calm demeanor.

He waved his hand towards Fan Yi in the distance, and Fan Yi immediately walked over and handed the bag to Baili Xia with both hands.

“Miss Xiaxia, this is the dress Mr. Bei prepared for you. Please try it on to see if it fits.”

Baili Xia quickly stood up and accepted it with both hands.

Looking at Bei Tianyou again, the latter was already leisurely sipping tea, ignoring her.

She just didn’t understand what he meant by that emotional sentence earlier.

Grateful there’s someone like her…

Was it because he also wanted to be carefree, passionate, and kind, but found himself powerless to do so?

Taking another glance at Bei Tianyou, even when he met her gaze, there was no emotion in it.

Yet Baili Xia still felt a twinge in her heart, an inexplicable heaviness settling over her.

Suddenly, she seemed to understand why Bei Tianyou never smiled.

In such a family, smiles really were unnecessary at times.

“I’ll go try on the dress first.” Not daring to think further, Baili Xia nodded at Bei Tianyou and turned to leave the hall.

She ascended the spiral staircase back to her room.

Nangong Xu and Mu Xiaoyao’s rooms had their doors tightly closed.

They lived in the west wing on the second floor of the Bi Luo Pavilion, and the entire west wing had only the three of them.

Every time she went up, Baili Xia felt a peculiar emptiness.

It was just too big, even the rooms were large, each room at least a hundred square meters, spacious enough for an entire family to live comfortably.

And this was just one of the guest rooms, so the size of the master bedroom was imaginable.

She returned to her room without disturbing Mu Xiaoyao, not knowing what he was doing in his room.

Brother was actually very busy too.

As long as he was given a laptop, he could stay busy for days and nights.

Nangong Xu wasn’t there; he was probably in the main house giving the Old Madam acupuncture.

Today, Bei Kuangri returned with the Old Master.

Presumably, Nangong Xu was trying to obtain something from him…

Baili Xia placed the bag on the bed and took out the three dresses.

The dresses were nice, not revealing or extravagant, quite to her taste.

If Bei Tianyou had indeed personally chosen them, then it could only be said that Mr.

Bei was indeed a meticulous person.

Among the three dresses, one was a soft cream color.

One light pink, one vibrant purple.

The light pink and cream ones were both beautiful, with butterfly-edged embellishments that had a princess-like aura, clearly chosen with care.

As for the vibrant purple one…

it’s not that Baili Xia wanted to criticize Bei Tianyou; she could just tell at a glance that he had picked it casually on his way out.

He probably assumed she would like elegant colors, so the two were particularly attractive.

The vibrant purple, perhaps fearing his judgment was wrong, was a random choice to leave himself an option.

In fact, Bei Tianyou was right; under normal circumstances, Baili Xia would definitely prefer the two lighter ones.

But today, things were a bit different.

Because her mood was different.

Why confine herself to a certain frame?
