Chapter 1355

“Aren’t you clever? Figure it out yourself.”

Baili Xia pouted a little, but fortunately, without her realizing it, Nangong Xu had already bandaged her wound.

Brother’s distraction technique really worked; she barely felt the pain earlier.

To be honest, she was very afraid of pain.

…

After Nangong Xu finished bandaging Baili Xia, they both went to Bei Tianyou’s study.

Seeing them approaching, the servant opened the study door without needing a knock and invited them in.

As soon as they entered, they saw Bei Tianyou sitting behind the desk, emanating a cold aura, his face livid, so chilling it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Fan Yi was kneeling on the opposite side of the desk, his head lowered, motionless.

Seeing Nangong Xu and Baili Xia enter, Bei Tianyou’s expression softened somewhat.

He motioned for them to sit down, then looked at Fan Yi and said coldly, “Apologize to Miss Xiaxia.”

Baili Xia was momentarily stunned, only to see Fan Yi turn around while kneeling, bowing his head to face her.

“Miss Xiaxia, I’m sorry.”

The guilt on Fan Yi’s face was obvious, yet his words contained a sense of resolve.

Baili Xia knew he felt somewhat guilty about his actions today toward her.

But even if he had the chance to do it over again, he would still stick to his way.

This wasn’t about whether his actions were right or wrong; as long as it was good for his master, it was right in his mind.

It was like Ye Hua’s loyalty to Mu Xiaojiu.

Such people, Baili Xia could understand.

She gave a gentle smile and said softly, “It’s nothing, you didn’t do anything wrong. If I were in your position, I’d certainly do the same.”

Fan Yi looked up at Baili Xia, momentarily stunned.

He hadn’t expected her to be so magnanimous and forgive him so easily.

After all, his actions today might have prevented her from ever coming back.

“Why are you still dazing off?

I came back just fine, didn’t I?”

Appearing to see through Fan Yi’s thoughts, Baili Xia smiled again, “Get up quickly.”

Fan Yi remained still, his face showing even more shame.

“Since Xiaxia forgives you, let it go this time. In the future, don’t make such decisions on my behalf again.”

Only then did Bei Tianyou feel a bit better, the chill around him dissipating somewhat.

Fan Yi just nodded without responding.

Seeing him like this, Bei Tianyou couldn’t help but feel a bit stifled.

But Fan Yi’s loyalty was something Bei Tianyou understood too.

“Forget it, you go ahead and take care of things.”

Only then did Fan Yi get up, bow again to Baili Xia, and then leave.

Once Fan Yi left the study, the atmosphere inside eased a bit.

Nangong Xu picked up a cup and took a sip of tea.

Putting the cup down and looking at Bei Tianyou, he said plainly, “I heard from Xiaxia about the assassination attempt, and it seems likely that it was done by someone from the Bei family.”

Bei Tianyou was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Nangong Xu to boldly say such things to his face.

It’s important to know, such words were quite serious!

“Why do you say so?” Bei Tianyou’s gaze stayed on Nangong Xu, eyes without a trace of emotion.

“When you went out, I heard the car you took was the most inconspicuous one, suggesting the outing was likely a last-minute decision.”

Talking about someone else’s family matters, Nangong Xu remained expressionless; such calmness made it hard for others to dislike his meddling.

Nangong Xu continued plainly, “It seems only Bei family members have the opportunity to know your movements.”

And how many informants there are just in this courtyard remains unknown.
