Chapter 1524

Nangong Xu seemed a bit troubled.

Looking back at the old man lying on the bed, he asked over the phone, “Is it urgent?”

Baili Xia hesitated for a moment before saying, “Yes, a bit.”

“I’m doing acupuncture for the old man right now, it’s not convenient. I’ll return as soon as I’m done, okay?”

She really wanted to say no, but she studied medicine and knew that acupuncture couldn’t be stopped halfway.

At this moment, he couldn’t leave, and it was understandable.

He couldn’t just ignore the old man.

Suppressing her anxiety, Baili Xia had to say softly, “Okay, then come find me as soon as you return.”

After hanging up Nangong Xu’s call, Baili Xia hesitated again.

The old man’s condition was like this now; she didn’t know when he’d have the time to come back.

She wanted to leave tonight, afraid that if it dragged on until tomorrow, it might be too late…

Moreover, would he allow her to leave without worry?

Without thinking further, Baili Xia immediately headed downstairs to the lobby.

At this time, most people had already rested.

Except for, Bei Tianyou.

When Baili Xia reached the corridor on the second floor of the east wing, she indeed saw a faint light shining through the crack of the study door.

She walked to the study door and knocked lightly.

After a while, a low voice came from inside.

“Come in.”

Baili Xia pushed the door open and entered.

Bei Tianyou was sitting at the desk, looking down as he went through some documents.

He didn’t lift his head, just continued reading.

Baili Xia didn’t immediately disturb him, just stood quietly several meters in front of him.

He was still busy at this time, so it must be something important.

After a while, perhaps finishing a chapter of the document, Bei Tianyou seemed to remember someone was in the room and looked up.

Seeing Baili Xia standing there with an anxious face, his thick brows lightly furrowed, he quickly asked, “Xiaxia, what’s the matter?”

Baili Xia had been holding it in for a long time, and finally, she waited until he was free.

She immediately said, “Brother You, I want to ask you for a favor.”

Bei Tianyou’s gaze fell on her, and his words were gentle.

“I thought it was Fan Yi earlier, sorry, what do you need help with?”

Baili Xia showed a trace of embarrassment on her face.

After all, he wasn’t someone from the Mu family.

It would be more appropriate to ask Nangong Xu for this kind of thing.

So it was difficult to say much.

She could only ask, “Can you help me book a flight for tonight?”

Bei Tianyou’s brow slightly furrowed, a trace of complexity flashed in his eyes unnoticed: “You’re going back?”

Baili Xia nodded, which was considered acquiescence.

“Why are you suddenly going back?” He…

wasn’t prepared for this at all.

He always thought she would stay here, at least, through the New Year, and maybe a bit longer…

He had forgotten that she wasn’t actually someone from Bei Miao, she…

would have to go back sooner or later.

“I… have some matters… to deal with back home.”

Baili Xia stammered, clearly not wanting to say more.

Bei Tianyou composed his complex emotions and asked blandly, “Did you inform Mr.

Xiaojiu that you’re going back?”

“No, this time I’m going back for personal matters,” Baili Xia replied.

“When are you planning to leave?”

“Now.”

“Now?” He was stunned for a moment, face full of surprise: “So urgent…”

“I’m sorry, Brother You, I’m… really urgent, I need to get back as fast as possible.”

She also knew that by appearing so anxious, Bei Tianyou would surely worry.

But she really had no choice now.

Things over at Zimo’s side were extremely urgent, if she delayed any longer, she really didn’t know if Xiaoxiao could persuade her.

Looking at Bei Tianyou, she pleaded with a face full of beseeching: “Brother You, please help me.”
