Chapter 1898: Capítulo 1898: Chapter 1901

Looking at the cup of tea in his hand, Guisu slowly withdrew his hostility.

To go to such lengths for Baili Xia, Mu Xiaojiu genuinely cared about her.

Otherwise, with Mr. Xiaojiu’s ability to measure time in billions, how could he spend it so casually on Baili Xia?

Because of this, Guisu had almost no hostility left toward Mu Xiaojiu.

Used to be his enemy for the sake of Lu Xuening.

Now, concerning Lu Xuening, it no longer held any significance for him.

“Why not tell her? What exactly is her relationship with Baili Yang?”

Guisu wasn’t skilled at playing mind games, but this didn’t mean he was naive.

He just didn’t feel like using his brain to think about such deeply plotted matters.

“Is she Baili Yang’s real granddaughter?”

“Not necessarily.” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t want to reveal too much, but he spoke the truth.

The identification report would come out soon; he just wasn’t convenient to collect it yet.

Coming to Bei Miao alone, whether or not someone was watching him from behind, nobody could guarantee any eventuality.

As of now, he hadn’t sensed any danger, but since it involved Baili Xia, whatever he did needed to be cautious.

That report needed to be retrieved somehow.

“No matter what, Baili Yang held extraordinary significance for that girl.”

With Baili Xia’s personality, Baili Yang once protected her like that.

Even if Baili Yang wasn’t her biological grandfather, she couldn’t just let him die unjustly in prison.

Doing nothing before everything was clarified was the best approach.

“She can’t remember many things—is it related to Lu Xuening?” Guisu asked again.

“Maybe.” Mu Xiaojiu still offered no clear answer because he hadn’t seen it firsthand.

“She has toxins in her body, presumably from Lu Xuening. As for what Lu Xuening did to her before dying — it’s all guesswork.”

Guisu stared at his scarred face, speechless for a moment.

Gradually, he had figured out the crux of this matter.

But, to let Baili Xia stay peacefully at the Mu family and at his side, should they really let her never recall those things?

“Someday she will remember. What will you do then?”

Mu Xiaojiu just held the cup and slowly drank the tea without answering.

Taking one step at a time, he didn’t think too far ahead.

Because it wasn’t easy to consider.

Guisu stared at his face, although it was marked with scars.

The resolute eyebrows and extraordinary aura.

Suddenly, an indescribable sadness washed over him.

Sad… not knowing why he felt sad.

Maybe, just knowing that with Mu Xiaojiu around, everywhere was that girl’s home.

With Mu Xiaojiu, why think too much?

Finally, he raised the cup to his lips, draining the tea inside…

…

Seeing the woman early in the morning, Baili Xia seemed unfazed.

Inner turmoil notwithstanding, her expression was calm and indifferent.

Turning around, she was about to head toward the backyard.

“Walking so fast, won’t you even hear my apology?” Nangong Yun called from behind.

“I have other matters. There’s no need to listen to apologies. You’re forgiven.”

Baili Xia waved her hand, displaying generosity.

Wu Ming exhibited a change today, unexpectedly willing to help Guisu train Bei Tianyou’s brothers early in the morning, a phenomenon as strange as the sun rising from the west.

However, since he was kindly helping, she was naturally happy.

Now, she couldn’t resist not going to check it out.
