Chapter 1441

After seeing off Mu Xiaojiu, Baili Xia went straight back to Bi Luo Pavilion.

Although when Uncle was leaving, he left her those words that truly made Baili Xia feel like crying.

But more tearful now, she was almost about to collapse.

She had been holding on for so long; her body was already very uncomfortable, and she urgently needed to lie down and rest.

Just as she got upstairs, she actually saw Mu Xiaoyao walking towards her room.

“Brother,” Baili Xia called out, hurriedly squeezing out a little smile.

Afraid her weak appearance would attract his attention.

However, Mu Xiaoyao seemed to have something urgent at the moment and didn’t pay much attention to her actions.

Furthermore, he didn’t notice her frailty.

He turned around to look at her and spoke softly, “Just got back?”

Baili Xia nodded lightly, “Looking for me?”

As she spoke, she bypassed Mu Xiaoyao, walked to her door, and opened it.

She only opened the door a crack, not intending to let Mu Xiaoyao in to sit.

If there was anything, it’s best to say it quickly.

She needed to rest; she really couldn’t hold on any longer.

But this matter can’t be known by Brother; otherwise, he would certainly go and make trouble for Guisu.

Mu Xiaoyao hummed in response, his gaze resting on Baili Xia’s face as if searching for something.

Baili Xia felt Mu Xiaoyao’s searching gaze and quickly raised a hand to her forehead, rubbing it.

“What’s wrong?

Not feeling well?”

“Hmm, today was a bit exhausting; I want to rest early.”

Mu Xiaoyao nodded, knowing Baili Xia had accompanied Mu Xiaojiu for a long walk and might indeed be tired.

“I need to go out for work these few days and might not be around for a while,” Mu Xiaoyao said lightly.

“Where are you going?” Baili Xia asked casually, still keeping her hand on her forehead, seeming uninterested in the fact that he was leaving.

This Brother, ever since coming to the Bei Family, she hadn’t seen him much; basically, he went out every day.

Baili Xia knew Mu Xiaoyao was here not just to be with her; he surely had his own tasks.

“This time, it might be a long period. While I’m not around, stay close to Bei Tianyou,” Mu Xiaoyao added with a slightly heavier tone.

“How long?” Baili Xia lowered her hand, realizing this time might be different from before.

Mu Xiaoyao gently shook his head and said slowly, “Not sure, it might be quite long.”

After a pause, he added, “Take care of yourself; Uncle will send someone to protect you.”

Baili Xia smiled softly and said gently, “Protect me?

I don’t need protection.

With Brother You here at the Bei Family, who can come and harm me?

Besides, if anything happens, I can also find my master.”

“I’m just responsible for informing you.”

“…”

Baili Xia was speechless; indeed, regarding Uncle’s decisions, both she and Mu Xiaoyao were only informed.

Once it’s Uncle’s decision, who can change it?

Still, not wanting to think about that, Baili Xia looked at Mu Xiaoyao and casually asked, “Brother, where exactly are you going?”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t respond, merely saying lightly, “I should leave now, take care of yourself.”

Finished speaking, he turned around and walked downstairs.

Baili Xia felt a bit dazed.

Why watching him leave this time truly seemed like he was going for a long time.

Instinctively, she chased after him, “Brother…”

“Don’t worry, Uncle’s people will arrive soon; he will protect you.”

“Are you leaving Bei Miao?” she suddenly felt a little panicked.

Not even sure what she was thinking, but overall, panicked.
