Chapter 1945

Baili Xia looked at Guisu, took a deep breath, and said, “I hope you can protect Brother You for a while longer.”

Guisu’s thick brows were still furrowed; clearly, he couldn’t accept this reason.

His task here was already completed. Was this girl afraid that if he went back with her, it would bring her trouble?

“I will find a job myself, supporting myself is absolutely no problem, and I can even support you, as long as you’re willing.”

Guisu stared at her face; this tiny palm-sized face made the chill on him dissipate a bit.

“You live at the Mu family, and it’s inconvenient for me to be by your side at all times. However, as long as I’m in Jin City, you can call me at any time.”

“Guisu, you should have your own life. How can you be at my beck and call?”

She’s not some empress who needs to be waited on constantly.

She sighed lightly, looking at his cold and hard-lined face.

“Brother You just won. He will represent the Miao Domain in the autumn competition of Bei Miao.”

“At this time, many people will definitely target him. With you by his side, I can be at ease.”

Baili Xia could only patiently explain. She could see that Guisu didn’t want to stay here anymore.

She originally wanted Guisu to go back with her and help her during the investigation process.

But thinking of the potential danger Brother You might face, she still couldn’t rest easy.

Brother You really needs Guisu more than she does now.

Guisu remained silent, and he would obey Baili Xia’s arrangements.

But does protecting Bei Tianyou mean he shouldn’t care about her?

Lowering his eyes in thought for a while, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

“How long do I have to stay here? Do I have to wait until the Bei Miao competition ends?”

Baili Xia was taken aback. She had no idea when it would end.

If someone really targets Brother You, it probably won’t stop before the competition.

After thinking it over, she finally said, “Let’s just wait and see for a while.”

Having Guisu stay here the whole time wouldn’t be fair to him either.

But Brother You’s safety was more important, so she could only delay. If everything seemed fine, then she would let Guisu go back.

The words sounded vague, but Guisu understood Baili Xia’s meaning.

“Staying here is fine with me, but if you go back and run into danger, what then?”

Baili Xia smiled and reassured him, “At the Mu family, I won’t be in danger.”

“Aren’t you going to investigate those matters?”

Guisu didn’t believe her at all. If she went to investigate past events, no one could guarantee what she might encounter next.

Especially since Mrs. Xue said she would soon recover her memories.

Once she regained her memories, how would she face those matters alone?

His determined gaze landed on Baili Xia, forcing her to confront the issue.

Baili Xia maintained a faint smile, her face showing no trace of emotion, her words light and casual.

She stepped forward and took Guisu’s large hand.

“I’m not a child anymore. Having gone through so much, I’ve long since learned how to protect myself.”

“Don’t worry, no matter what happens after I go back, I will exercise discretion.”

She paused, and a sincere look filled with absolute trust gleamed in her eyes.

“If I really encounter danger, I will definitely give you a call.”

She finished, offering a slight smile, playfully adding, “Of course, the premise is that you’re willing to have your phone on for me.”

Guisu was slightly stunned, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face.

This girl, is she still upset about not being able to find him before?

But how could he really let her go back by herself?
