Chapter 1546

“What? Not happy to see me?” Mu Xiaojiu’s large hand landed on her shoulder.

With a gentle tug, she was already back in his embrace.

The two bodies collided together, and their breaths instantly merged.

It was as if they were destined to stand together, becoming a natural unity simply by being together.

Guisu glanced at the two of them indifferently, not saying anything.

He took another look at Baili Xia, then turned and left.

Since Mu Xiaojiu was here, the girl didn’t need him to see her off.

Walking away so haughtily…

Baili Xia let out a sigh, her gaze pulled back from his tall silhouette.

No matter what, at least Guisu had promised to stay and help Bei Tianyou.

With this, she could finally return to Jin City with peace of mind.

Bei Tianyou nodded slightly to Mu Xiaojiu, “Didn’t expect Mr. Xiaojiu to come personally. Time is tight, so I won’t invite Mr. Xiaojiu in for tea.”

This girl was eager to return home, he knew.

Even a moment’s delay would only make her more anxious.

“There will be chances in the future.” Mu Xiaojiu held Baili Xia, responding to Bei Tianyou with a calm smile.

“These days, the girl has been troubling you, Mr. Bei.”

His tone, his posture, clearly regarded Baili Xia as his own.

Bei Tianyou just nodded lightly, without speaking.

If the information was correct, the girl was no longer part of the Mu family.

The old man had acknowledged Baili Yang’s legitimate granddaughter, so Baili Xia was merely a guest staying at the Mu family.

He looked at Baili Xia’s slightly flushed face and said, “Since you call me Brother You, Bi Luo Pavilion will always be your home.”

“If things don’t go well, or if someone bullies you, Brother You will always welcome you back home.”

“Brother You…” This sounded so sentimental, like she was leaving her maternal home.

Moreover, Baili Xia knew that this was indeed her maternal home.

Thinking about parting with her cousin and grandparents without even seeing them made her nose tingle a bit.

“If someone bullies her, I think it shouldn’t require Mr. Bei’s intervention.”

The man beside her tightened his long arm, holding her more firmly in his embrace.

Although his smile seemed gentle, it carried a hint of cold indifference: “I won’t let anyone bully her.”

“Uncle…” Baili Xia looked up at his resolute face.

These words warmed her heart when she heard them.

Since when did Uncle learn to say such considerate things?

Perhaps even Mu Xiaojiu didn’t know why he felt the need to say such things to Bei Tianyou.

It’s just that, seeing the subtle feeling between Baili Xia and Bei Tianyou made him inexplicably uncomfortable.

Even though he knew very well that they were indeed family…

“Where’s Wu Ming?” Baili Xia was still looking around.

Since Bei Tianyou was aware of Wu Ming’s existence, she didn’t need to deliberately hide it.

Looking up at Mu Xiaojiu, her eyes carried a hint of surprise: “Isn’t he coming back with us?”

“Wu Ming has other arrangements, so I came to personally bring you back. Also, I wanted to personally thank Mr. Bei.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze fell on Bei Tianyou, nodding again.

Bei Tianyou’s lips curved slightly, and he said casually, “Mr. Xiaojiu, you’re too polite.”

Baili Xia glanced at the two of them, wondering if she was being overly sensitive.

She felt there was something strange about the atmosphere between them.

It didn’t seem hostile, but why was there always a hint of sparks in the air?

Was she overthinking it?
