Chapter 1528

Baili Xia felt her little heart racing.

Yet, when she looked at Bei Tianyou, those eyes remained so clear and bright.

This made Baili Xia scorn herself again; when had she become so narcissistic?

A man like Brother You, how could he easily fall for a woman?

Moreover, he’s her own cousin.

Regardless of whether he knows or not, it’s a fact.

But the expression on his face distinctly showed he had something on his mind.

Perhaps she could offer him some guidance?

Thinking of this, Baili Xia gently withdrew her hand that was being held by Bei Tianyou and sat down by the bedside again.

“Alright, I’ll keep you company for a little while longer.”

But as Baili Xia sat down, Bei Tianyou fell silent again.

Baili Xia just sat there looking at Bei Tianyou, while Bei Tianyou simply lay on the bed with his eyes closed.

After a few minutes, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere grew awkward.

Of course, the awkwardness was only felt by Baili Xia.

Her hands were unsure where to go, so she resorted to rubbing them together idly.

In her mind, Baili Xia kept searching for any topic to break this awkwardness.

Finally, her eyes lit up slightly: “Brother You, there’s something I want to ask you.”

Upon hearing Baili Xia speak, Bei Tianyou finally opened his eyes.

“I’ve been with the Bei Family for quite a while, and I really haven’t seen Mr. Fengjin go outside. People say he’s stayed in Jin Ye Pavilion for ten years, rarely going out, is that true?”

Though Baili Xia felt bad digging up others’ business like this.

But in such an awkward moment, all she could do was ask these kinds of questions.

Maybe she’d even learn more about Bei Qingyou and Bei Fengjin from Bei Tianyou.

“Have you ever met Uncle Fengjin?” Bei Tianyou didn’t answer directly but asked instead.

Baili Xia didn’t want to deceive Bei Tianyou, but she couldn’t mention anything about Bei Fengjin.

Otherwise, Nangong Yun wouldn’t have suspected her last time.

Though she did see Bei Fengjin from a distance on Hongxia Mountain, but it was at night then.

If Bei Tianyou asked about her being on Hongxia Mountain at night, how should she respond?

Seeing Baili Xia’s hesitation, shifting uneasily, Bei Tianyou said calmly:

“We’ve been close since we were kids, though Uncle doesn’t set foot outside.

I occasionally meet him in private.”

“That day, I knew you spent the night at Jin Ye Pavilion.”

Baili Xia was shocked; she didn’t expect such a secret to be known by Bei Tianyou already.

Did he meet with Bei Fengjin, or did he find out on his own?

Could he possibly know about Wu Ming too?

Or was he simply speculating because she brought up the topic of Bei Fengjin?

Her mind was in turmoil—just how much did he know?

But Bei Tianyou’s words quickly brought her back to reality.

“Your friend, named Wu Ming, is that right?”

“You—you know, Brother You?”

Bei Tianyou didn’t respond, which indeed wasn’t necessary anymore.

He slowly sat up from the bed, looking at Baili Xia, his voice softened: “Want to go take a look at Youyang Pavilion?”

“Go—go to Youyang Pavilion?” Baili Xia didn’t react right away.

“What, you don’t want to go?” He raised an eyebrow; this was his first time actively inviting her.

“I want to, I want to!” Baili Xia shouted immediately.

At this point, she already forgot to ask Bei Tianyou why he would take her to Youyang Pavilion.

Because suddenly she knew asking would be pointless.

Big figures never like to explain their actions.

But since she would be leaving tomorrow, being brought up tonight made her really want to visit.

At least, to tell Mom farewell…
