Chapter 1533

Baili Xia paused for a moment, then frowned and said, “Brother You, you’re joking around again, if you keep this up, I’ll ignore you.”

Bei Tianyou responded calmly, his voice utterly composed.

“I’m not joking, I said it straight to grandmother that day, we’re going to get engaged, right?”

“That’s not because…”

Just as she was about to explain, something suddenly came to her mind and Baili Xia stopped talking.

“Could it be that you’ve been lying to her?” Bei Tianyou continued for her.

Baili Xia dared not say in front of Bei Fengjin that she was merely placating the Old Madam.

For a moment, her face flushed red with shame, unsure of how to respond.

Watching the expression on this young girl, Bei Tianyou felt a little amused inside, a faint hint of joy appearing between his brows.

Such a look was rare in Bei Tianyou’s eyes, even Bei Fengjin felt moved upon seeing it.

This child, although loved dearly by the Old Madam and holds great power in the Bei Family, is naturally not fond of smiling.

Since he was not yet ten, smiles have seldom appeared on his face.

Yet now, while with Baili Xia, he seemed indescribably relaxed and at ease.

The atmosphere between the two was indeed harmonious, but…

That night on Hongxia Mountain, the one accompanying this young girl was someone else.

“Alright, Tianyou.” Noting Baili Xia’s embarrassment, Bei Fengjin spoke up to halt Bei Tianyou.

He looked at Baili Xia, his voice sounding somewhat soft.

“This child appears unruly here with me, not at all like how he is outside, Miss Xiaxia please don’t mind.”

Baili Xia was slightly stunned, somewhat unable to believe her ears.

What kind of person Mr.

Bei is, definitely the prominent face of the Miao Domain, standing toe-to-toe with Mu Xiaojiu.

Ever since Baili Xia met him, he has consistently maintained that icy, indifferent demeanor.

If anyone barely smiles, she would first think of Bei Tianyou.

Bei Fengjin’s words indeed overturned Baili Xia’s understanding of Bei Tianyou.

“Mr. Bei, I’m really just here with Mr. Nangong for Brother You’s treatment, not in that kind of relationship with him.”

For some reason, she simply did not wish to utter a word that would cause misunderstanding before this elder.

Fengjin is very, very good to You’er, and she really, really likes him.

Bei Fengjin just smiled lightly, that smile, like a spring breeze brushing the heart, indescribably refreshing and pleasant.

The first beauty of Bei Miao…

Baili Xia couldn’t help but sigh.

What could have made Bei Qingyou leave him for two years, and instead be with other men?

Based on timing, she should have been born during the two years Bei Qingyou was missing.

Bei Qingyou…

truly decided to leave Fengjin.

Her heart filled with inexpressible melancholy.

Such a fairy-like man, who could bear to leave him?

Bei Fengjin seemed to pay no heed to her little thoughts, turning to enter the room.

“Don’t just stand outside, come in and sit.”

He had long seen through the emotional affairs of young people.

These should be left for the young to decide themselves.

Bei Tianyou and Baili Xia followed him into the room, and for the first time, Baili Xia saw the interior of the room.

The room was simply laid out, divided into two parts by a screen.

On the side near the door, there was a table and a few chairs.

Flanking either side were two large cabinets, filled to the brim with an assortment of bottles and jars.

Baili Xia couldn’t understand what Bei Tianyou was intending by bringing her here to meet Bei Fengjin late at night.
