Chapter 1388

“I helped him with the selection, that was under the condition we agreed upon. Naturally, I will do seriously what I promised.”

So, I can only help him with selecting talent.

As for other things, those are extraneous matters, and he doesn’t need to worry.

“Let’s go back to eat, I’m hungry.” Mu Xiaoyao strode forward toward the front yard with his long legs.

Baili Xia followed behind him, looking bewildered.

Just now, Brother really put in an effort and was so dedicated, making her think that he, like her, was so eager to work on Bei Tianyou’s affairs.

But now, with Brother’s words, she really just realized that how could she and Brother be the same?

She completely considered Bei Tianyou as if he were her own cousin, and since it involved the Bei Family, she had to give it her all.

But indeed, the matter didn’t have much to do with Brother.

Mu Xiaoyao could see her disappointment, but this time, helping Bei Tianyou was only to let her into the Youyang Pavilion.

He didn’t have much interest in other matters; after all, he had plenty of his own things to be busy with.

This girl wouldn’t know that for the past few days, he had been working until three or four in the morning to redo two defense systems.

And because of Uncle’s matters, he had to leave as early as seven or eight in the morning.

With the time spent eating, bathing, and using the restroom all day, how much time was there to sleep?

Baili Xia watched his back, the sunset casting a long shadow on the ground.

She didn’t know why, but at this moment, she suddenly sensed his exhaustion and loneliness.

Why is Brother…

just like Uncle, so lonely?

Is it because of her lack of understanding that he feels upset?

She chased after him, gently tugging at his sleeve, “Brother, I didn’t mean to blame you, I’m just… just…”

She lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

“You just feel that the blood running through you makes this your own matter, too.”

How could Mu Xiaoyao not see what she was thinking?

It’s just, seeing her so preoccupied with Bei Tianyou, it inexplicably made him feel a bit uncomfortable.

He always thought she belonged to their Mu family, but now, she had found her true family…

“I’m sorry, my attitude wasn’t good just now.” Baili Xia gave him a smile, “Will you forgive me? How about I give you a massage tonight?”

Seeing the weariness even more pronounced on his face.

These past few days, has something been troubling him, leaving him exhausted?

“Okay.” Something flickered in Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes as he suddenly placed a hand on her shoulder, pulling her along toward the front yard.

He had decided, this girl belonged to the Mu family, as for matters involving the Bei family, he could help, but he wouldn’t let the girl be left to them.

He didn’t like…

the feeling of completely losing her.

The two initially planned to go back to their rooms to shower, then eat.

But as soon as they entered the front yard, they saw Fan Yi rushing back in with a few others.

Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao stopped, watching them.

Fan Yi approached Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao, giving a bow, looking troubled.

“What’s going on?” Baili Xia’s heart skipped a beat, she had a feeling that something bad was about to happen again.

Fan Yi hesitated before finally speaking up.

“Miss Xiaxia, the third person also… also ran into trouble.”

The people behind had also come over, and only then did Baili Xia notice they were carrying someone.

The person was already unconscious, covered in blood.

Baili Xia was stunned for a moment, looking at Fan Yi, “Is this another brother? The last one?”
