Chapter 1532

“Do you really have to go back, even ignoring Uncle’s words?”

Wu Ming stared intensely into Baili Xia’s eyes, his voice turning cold.

Baili Xia knew Wu Ming was angry.

But after all, he wasn’t Uncle.

No, even if Uncle were here, she couldn’t back down.

She nodded firmly and said, “I have to go back.

I’ll explain to Uncle once I’m there.”

“In that case, take care on the road.

I’ll inform Uncle and have him arrange for someone to meet you.”

After saying this, Wu Ming turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

His steps no longer carried the ease they once did, now burdened with a sense of helplessness.

He tried everything to stay here with her, to protect her, but in the end, she insists on returning to that place.

Could it be that everything is already predestined, and there’s no escaping it?

If there’s no way to escape, then the only choice is to face it head-on…

Wu Ming left, and watching his departing figure, Baili Xia felt a slight pang of guilt.

Even though she didn’t know what exactly she was feeling guilty about.

Just, seeing his lonely figure, why did it tug at her heartstrings for some inexplicable reason?

Why is it like this…

She shook her head, trying hard to shake off the heartache whose origin she couldn’t understand.

As long as she thought of Zimo, none of it mattered anymore.

The other matters would have to wait, explanations would come later.

She glanced at Bei Tianyou and stepped back to his side.

When Wu Ming was talking to Baili Xia, Bei Tianyou stood waiting in the center of the courtyard.

When Baili Xia came back, he asked, “So, did you make him unhappy?”

Baili Xia forced a light-hearted smile and said, “Let’s go, I’m still waiting for my gift.”

Bei Tianyou said nothing more and stepped into the Jin Ye Pavilion hall.

In the Jin Ye Pavilion, someone only comes to tidy up and cook each day.

At other times, no servants stay here.

At that moment, it was impossible for Bei Tianyou to find a servant to ask where Bei Fengjin was.

After thinking for a bit, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Arriving at the backyard, he indeed found a room with the lights on.

This was the room from which Bei Fengjin had emerged the last time Baili Xia and Wu Ming were there.

Bei Tianyou and Baili Xia reached the door, and Bei Tianyou gently knocked on it.

After a while, someone opened the door from the inside; Bei Fengjin appeared at the entrance.

“Uncle Fengjin.” Bei Tianyou promptly greeted with politeness.

Upon seeing Bei Tianyou, Bei Fengjin’s eyes brightened, and a layer of smile spread across his face.

“What brings you here?”

Baili Xia had never seen him smile; every time she’d met him, he was always so cold.

Now, he seemed somewhat pleased to see Bei Tianyou?

Bei Fengjin’s gaze passed over Bei Tianyou and landed on Baili Xia, filled with a bit of surprise.

Just after sending Wu Ming off, how did Baili Xia come again?

If she were to come, shouldn’t it be with Wu Ming?

Seeing him staring, Baili Xia gently called out, “Mr.

Fengjin.”

“Hmm.” Bei Fengjin slightly nodded, his gaze still lingering on her face a moment longer than intended.

However, knowing she wasn’t You’er, this face, no matter how similar, held no meaning.

Seeing Bei Fengjin’s gaze fixated on Baili Xia just now, Bei Tianyou said lightly.

“So, how is she? This is the girl I like, not bad, right?”

Bei Fengjin was slightly taken aback, having seen Baili Xia and Wu Ming at Hongxia Mountain before.

They seemed so close, surely they were in a relationship, right?

So, Tianyou also likes her?

Not only Bei Fengjin, but even Baili Xia was startled by Bei Tianyou’s words.
