Chapter 1428

“Okay, we understand.”

Baili Xia once again comforted the two subordinates, urging them to take good care of their injuries.

Only then did she exchange a glance with Fan Yi, and the two of them left the backyard together.

“It must be him.” Once outside, the fury in Fan Yi’s eyes instantly ignited.

“I lost to him; the brothers all know this. How could they mistake him?”

Earlier, that brother was embarrassed to say he was defeated, but that was the truth.

“I want to ask him personally.” Baili Xia said softly, her face somber.

Mistaken identity is unlikely, but why?

Fan Yi stepped forward to block her way: “Miss Xiaxia, a person like him, I worry…”

Baili Xia shook her head.

From what she knew of Guisu, she didn’t believe he would go back on his word so quickly.

Could there be a hidden truth?

It’s still that avenue outside Wangyue Pavilion.

Baili Xia hadn’t decided what excuse to use to meet Guisu.

She couldn’t believe Guisu would truly break his promise, but Brother You’s subordinates wouldn’t lie in front of him.

What exactly is going on?

She hadn’t gone in yet but saw people coming out of Wangyue Pavilion from afar.

Sima Liuyue and Nangong Yun walked out talking and laughing, planning who knows what today.

Now when seeing Nangong Yun, Baili Xia was filled with anger.

But no matter what, she must keep her composure.

She was not here today to cause trouble with Nangong Yun.

Why did Guisu promise not to harm Bei Tianyou’s men, only to seriously injure them shortly after?

She wanted an answer, one that justified her trust in Guisu.

Sima Liuyue and Nangong Yun came out, and Guisu still walked behind Sima Liuyue.

He was never a talkative person, but today, he seemed even more reticent.

Baili Xia didn’t know why she suddenly felt this way, but upon seeing his utterly expressionless face, a peculiar feeling arose within her heart.

As if…

suddenly, he seemed a bit unfamiliar, a bit out of reach…

“Oh, I guessed who was on duty at my door again; it’s just you, idiot.”

Nangong Yun, sharp-eyed, instantly noticed Baili Xia’s presence.

These words made Fan Yi, who had been following Baili Xia out of concern, so furious he wanted to take action.

Nangong Yun wasn’t like this before; ever since returning to the Bei Family, he had completely changed.

In the past, although both he and the young master knew that Nangong Yun appeared elegant and generous on the surface, at heart, he was a cruel and malicious woman.

But this time, her malice was fully displayed on her face.

On her finely made-up face, there was no longer a trace of elegance or composure.

Anyone unaware might think Baili Xia had taken her man.

Of course, the truth was just as Fan Yi thought, but how could Fan Yi know about such things?

Baili Xia grabbed his big hand, pulling the impulsive Fan Yi back.

She was only here to find Guisu, and there was no need to clash with Nangong Yun at this moment.

She walked over, not even glancing at Nangong Yun, and was too lazy to utter a single unnecessary word.

Her gaze swept over Guisu’s expressionless face before meeting Sima Liuyue’s eyes.

“Miss Sima, there are some matters I wish to resolve with Guisu. I wonder if you could grant me the convenience?”

Sima Liuyue looked at her indifferently, her thin lips gently curling up.

“Guisu belongs to me. How can I lend him to you to fulfill your chaotic needs?”
