Chapter 1419

“Oh, it’s Miss Baili. Why are you standing at my door in broad daylight? What are you up to?”

Nangong Yun smiled elegantly, but there was nothing but disdain in his eyes.

“To the uninitiated, it might seem like you’ve taken up a guard duty at my Wangyue Pavilion.”

Though Nangong Yun’s words were entirely mocking Baili Xia, his voice sounded inexplicably light, without a trace of harshness.

It seemed as though he was just joking with an old friend.

“Haha, has Miss Nangong claimed the entire road? As I recall, this road leads to Bi Luo Pavilion, doesn’t it?”

Baili Xia replied indifferently, her words sharp and opposing, without any embarrassment.

She’s encountered countless situations like this before, having faced many challenges, such verbal sparring was really nothing.

Seeing that the two seemed a bit at odds, Sima Liuyue quickly stepped in to mediate.

“What are you two talking about, you’re both my friends.”

She looked at Baili Xia, and said gently, “Miss Baili, why are you here in Bei Miao?”

“I came with Mr. Nangong. He’s here to treat Mr. Bei. Miss Sima, you’re in Bei Miao for…”

Having overheard the conversation earlier, Sima Liuyue didn’t hide anything.

“I’m representing the Sima Family to discuss some business deals with Miao Domain.”

Saying this, she subconsciously glanced at Nangong Yun.

It wouldn’t be proper for her to mention matters involving other families in front of outsiders.

Nangong Yun understood immediately and stepped forward to say, “Miss Sima, don’t waste time, you still need to visit Grandmother.”

“Right, upon seeing Miss Baili, I completely forgot about it.”

Sima Liuyue nodded, then looked at Baili Xia.

“Sorry, Miss Baili, I still have to visit the Old Madam.

If there’s time later, we can talk.”

“Alright, you both go ahead and get busy,” Baili Xia said coolly.

Sima Liuyue bid farewell to Baili Xia, and walked towards the main house with Nangong Yun.

Guisu glanced at Baili Xia, wanting to say something but held back after consideration.

He followed Sima Liuyue and walked away together.

Baili Xia watched them walk away, unsure of what to do for a moment.

She originally came to find Guisu, but evidently, Guisu remained by Sima Liuyue’s side with no chance of talking to him.

After thinking it over, Baili Xia decided to wait outside the main house.

If Guisu came out on his own, she could call him then.

However, she wanted to avoid running into Sima Liuyue and Nangong Yun again, lest they thought she was stalking them.

If Guisu truly wanted to come out.

Even though she had healed his hand, she lacked confidence in Guisu as a person…

…

Nangong Yun led Sima Liuyue to the main house, and a servant went to inform the Old Madam upon hearing.

They sat on the sofa waiting.

After a while, Guisu approached Sima Liuyue and said softly, “Miss, I have some matters to attend to, I’ll head out for a bit.”

Sima Liuyue glanced at Guisu, and said gently, “Is there something wrong?”

Guisu shook his head, his voice indifferent, “Just some private affairs.”

Seeing that Guisu was unwilling to share, Sima Liuyue did not press further, “Go ahead, I’ll wait here for you.”

This man, although having become her bodyguard, had a stubborn personality.

But his skills were impressive, far superior to the other bodyguards around her.

Within permissible limits, she could afford to be more lenient toward him.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he wouldn’t betray her.

Guisu nodded gently and retreated.
