Chapter 1437

Mu Xiaojiu smiled faintly and said slowly, “Old Madam is as strong as ever, not at all inferior to the young ones.”

The Old Madam immediately smiled like a spring breeze, “Haha, you truly know how to speak well.”

“Alright, since you’re leaving, take care on the road.

I’ll have Tianyou see you off.”

“No need to trouble Mr.

Bei, my people have already prepared a car.

They’ll come to pick me up.”

The Old Madam responded with a nod, clearly having anticipated that Mu Xiaojiu would make his own arrangements.

Saying Tianyou would see him off was just a formality.

“Old Madam, I’ll take my leave now. You should rest more.”

After speaking, Mu Xiaojiu stood up and slightly bowed to the Old Madam.

“Alright, I won’t see you off too far. Take care on the road.”

After greeting the Old Madam and Bei Tianyou once more, Mu Xiaojiu turned and walked out of the hall.

“Uncle, let me see you off.”

Baili Xia quickly stood up as well and followed Mu Xiaojiu out the door.

Whether or not he noticed Baili Xia’s reluctance to part with Mu Xiaojiu, Bei Tianyou merely saw Mu Xiaojiu off to the hall and then took his leave.

Although he didn’t directly escort them to the main gate, it was indeed somewhat impolite.

But, the girl Baili Xia’s eyes were already slightly red.

How could Bei Tianyou continue to intrude?

After Bei Tianyou left, Mu Xiaojiu looked at Baili Xia.

Seeing her complexion gradually become pale, he stopped and looked down at her.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Baili Xia lifted her head, meeting his gaze, and tried her best to pull out a reassuring smile.

“It’s nothing, I haven’t slept well these past few days.

I guess walking a bit has made me feel tired.”

Pausing for a moment, she then slowly said, “Uncle, I…

you…”

She hesitated, uncertain of what to say.

Actually, regardless of what she intended to say, she only hoped to spend a little more time with him.

Even for a moment longer, it would be good.

After this farewell, she really didn’t know when she would see him again.

“Right, you’ve been in Bei Miao for so long, but it seems you’ve yet to properly tour the Bei Family, have you?”

“I…

I’ll show you…”

“You know this place better than I do.

Take me around and let’s have a look.” Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes held a hidden smile.

The girl had thought for so long before coming up with such a lame excuse, but at least he understood her intentions.

The little creature also wished to spend more time with him.

Turns out, she would miss him too.

Before seeing her, he indeed felt a little anxious inside, afraid that she might actually not want to see him.

“Okay.” Baili Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

She dared not look up at him, only lowering her head as they walked together toward the backyard.

Uncle…

such a clever person, has he already seen through her reluctance?

Along the way, the two did not speak.

The wind quietly blew, brushing against them with an indescribable softness.

After reaching the path in the backyard, Baili Xia suddenly lifted her head to look at him, “Are you really not in a hurry?”

His time had always been so precious.

Mu Xiaojiu just looked at her, about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

“Who says the wind doesn’t understand the hardships of the world, the flowers don’t know the sorrows of the earth? Who wouldn’t know that in the cold night, the chill wind weeps alone, the flowers wilt in sadness…”

Her singing…

Baili Xia’s face flushed, suddenly feeling a bit flustered.

Uncle was actually willing to use her song as a ringtone.

She had thought he would definitely change it once he returned.

This ringtone truly surprised her.
