Chapter 1974

Baili Xia wanted to resist, but she was truly exhausted.

This incident happened to her, and she needed some comfort.

However, she was well aware that even if Brother comforted her at this moment, in the next, she would still be all alone.

Brother… so wonderful, yet she couldn’t have him.

“Are you saying this because you don’t want me anymore?” she leaned in his embrace.

Her lowered eyelids hid the despair in her eyes, not letting him see a trace.

Mu Xiaoyao had always been a bit insensitive in this regard; seeing her calm down, he thought she had accepted it.

“No, this is true. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Uncle yourself.”

“I don’t want to ask. I never want to see him again.”

“…”

…

In the serene back mountain, Ye Hua and Xiaoxiao walked along the forest path.

This was Xiaoxiao’s first time visiting the back mountain; she didn’t expect the Mu family to have such a large private garden.

“Usually the brothers train here.”

Ye Hua pointed to a cliff dozens of meters high halfway up the mountain, with an open space below the cliff.

Xiaoxiao looked there, imagining Ye Hua and the others sweating and toiling, and her mood inexplicably became excited.

Today, Mr. Xiaojiu suddenly went out, and Ye Hua did not receive any message saying he had to follow him.

Afterwards, when he called Mr. Xiaojiu, he coldly hung up the phone, which meant he didn’t need to follow.

So, today Ye Hua was quite relaxed.

Also, because he heard before from Xiaoxiao that she wouldn’t be staying long with the Mu family and would be leaving soon.

He felt an inexplicably complex feeling in his heart, so he took her to the back mountain under the pretext of watching the brothers train.

“Can we go up and take a look?” Xiaoxiao’s legs had healed, and she couldn’t stay idle.

Ye Hua glanced at her leg, hesitated momentarily, then said, “No problem.”

Ye Hua led Xiaoxiao up the small path to the cliff top, mostly half-holding her along the way.

Though initially, both felt a bit embarrassed, the situation explained it.

Gradually, it became natural.

Standing on the cliff top, there was a feeling of overlooking the surroundings.

The spring breeze brushed against their faces, and their hair fluttered in the wind.

Ye Hua looked at Xiaoxiao’s profile and suddenly became a bit lost.

All this time, he hadn’t noticed that Xiaoxiao was such a beautiful girl.

Although not like Baili Xia and Ning Anran, still, she had her unique charm.

In early spring, the mountain wind blowing on the face still stung a bit.

After watching for a while, Ye Hua reminded her, “Let’s go down, you’ve only just recovered, don’t catch a cold here.”

“Let me stay a bit longer; we’ll go down in a moment.”

Xiaoxiao hadn’t yet had her fill of the beautiful scenery.

“Do you usually train by climbing up from below?”

“Yes.”

“Impressive.”

Xiaoxiao genuinely admired Ye Hua and the others, wondering how much they had to endure to reach such strength?

Thinking more deeply, she realized that a man like Ye Hua was someone a girl like her could never touch.

They were not from the same world at all…

“Let’s go, time to head down.”

Suddenly, a faint sense of loss crept into her heart.

Xiaoxiao lost interest and turned to walk down the way they came up.

Even if Ye Hua was usually distracted, he noticed her mood suddenly change, but he couldn’t guess why.

“Let me take you to another place,” he suggested.

“Where?”

“Follow me and you’ll find out.”

Ye Hua smiled, grabbed Xiaoxiao’s hand, and walked briskly in another direction.
