Chapter 1633

Seeing Baili Xia seemingly restless, Feng Gang smiled at her.

“Is Miss Xiaxia looking for Miss Zimo?

She said she’s not coming down.”

“Oh!” Baili Xia nodded, finally settling down.

Zimo doesn’t like crowds, so it’s normal for her not to come down.

Moreover, she wasn’t familiar at all with Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying; she was lazy to interact with them.

However, she wasn’t curious about why Zimo didn’t come down, but about not really understanding what the old man meant.

Actually, it was Mu Ziying who asked the question that had been on her mind.

She looked at the old man, smiling with curved eyes: “Grandpa, why did you suddenly ask us to have dinner today?”

There wasn’t any warning beforehand, and she and Sister Ziqing were almost about to start eating.

Mu Ziqing didn’t have much to say.

Recently, the Mu family was in a mess, with Ziying being outside and completely unaware of it.

But, since she was recently in Jin City, she had heard some things.

She heard that her dad’s shares were cheated out quite a bit by some woman from outside.

She heard that the woman…

had someone backing her, and it seemed…

to be related to Uncle.

Today, Uncle was not here, which left Mu Ziqing with many questions in her heart.

But understanding that in such matters, they as juniors have no place to say anything, they can only pretend to know nothing.

The old man looked at Mu Ziying and smiled: “Isn’t it because you and Xiaxia are both back, so I thought we should all have a meal together?”

Mu Ziying pouted a little, initially wanting to say that grandpa had lately not cared much about them and was only concerned about Ning Anran.

But thinking it over, she realized these things shouldn’t be said.

Sister mentioned, given the many family affairs lately, they shouldn’t speak recklessly to anyone.

Mu Xiaoyao consistently sat quietly on the side, not fond of talking, just silently listening.

During the meal, Mu Ziqing inquired with Baili Xia: “Mr.

Bei…

how is he now?

Is there…

anything special…”

“Do you want to ask if he has a girlfriend?” Baili Xia had long known about Mu Ziqing’s feelings for Bei Tianyou.

However, it didn’t seem like Bei Tianyou had feelings for Mu Ziqing.

The goddess has her heart but the prince is dreamless; in such matters, outsiders really have nothing to say.

She smiled and said: “Probably not, but Brother You has always been engrossed in work and doesn’t seem very interested in these matters.”

“…Oh.” Mu Ziqing responded indifferently and said no more.

The meal wasn’t particularly pleasant, with the old man asking Mu Ziying about what new experiences she had while she was out recently.

The simple-minded Mu Ziying was the most optimistic; no matter what grandpa asked, she answered with great interest.

Baili Xia watched her smiling face, involuntarily feeling envious of her.

Perhaps, someone without much ambition, might live more freely and comfortably.

At least, not with so many worries…

Lunchtime quickly ended, and just as Mu Xiaoyao was about to pull Baili Xia up to stand and bid farewell to the old man.

The old man suddenly looked at Baili Xia and spoke softly: “Today, I still feel a bit unwell, Xiaxia, you’re skilled with needles, why not help me with a few more?”

Baili Xia was taken aback, staring at him inquiringly: “Now?”

“Do you have something to do?” The old man furrowed his brows, unable to resist raising a hand to rub his temple.

“Old master, are you still feeling unwell?” Feng Gang immediately approached.

The old man nodded, sighing lightly: “Getting old, this time, it’s probably not that easy to recover.”
