Chapter 2061

Zimo, before leaving, cast a slightly worried glance at Baili Xia.

It always seemed that the smile on Xiaxia’s face was so pale.

No longer having that past lightheartedness and ease.

Regarding her marriage to Mu Xiaoyao, whether it was forced or not, Zimo was genuinely anxious for her.

Marriage is a lifelong matter, and although no matter what decision Baili Xia made, she would support her.

But, she’s still afraid she might make the wrong decision.

Meeting Zimo’s gaze, Baili Xia felt warmth in her heart, gently nodded, and gave her a reassuring smile.

Now, with Xiaoxiao like this, the biggest worry is Zimo.

She must not have any more accidents, just focus on taking care of her pregnancy.

She didn’t want Zimo to be involved in her own matters at all.

Zimo was finally pulled away by Mu Lingchuan.

Baili Xia turned back, and her eyes met Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze.

Mu Xiaoyao looked down at her, a hint of complexity in his eyes.

“What’s the matter?” Baili Xia asked softly.

Mu Xiaoyao’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if pondering something.

He shook his head, not speaking.

Letting his arm be held by Baili Xia, the two walked out of the hall.

Once they exited the main courtyard, Mu Xiaoyao suddenly said, “You might be very tired like this.”

Baili Xia’s heart trembled, her steps unconsciously halted.

Realizing her slight loss of composure, she quickly calmed her mind and caught up with Mu Xiaoyao’s pace again.

“I also want to be more relaxed, but I have no choice.”

“Besides, Brother, didn’t we already agree?”

“If, in the end, you don’t want me, I’ll calmly accept it, but now, I cannot…”

“I won’t not want you.” Mu Xiaoyao’s words dispelled all her worries.

If someone didn’t want, then perhaps… it was her own matter.

She probably didn’t know, he… never allowed himself to break a promise.

“Since it’s like this, let’s not talk about such things in the future.”

Baili Xia lowered her head and gave a seemingly relaxed smile.

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her, wanting to say something, but ultimately didn’t.

The path ahead this girl has chosen, no one can change anything.

Since it’s like this, all he can do is accompany her well and protect her.

Baili Xia held onto Mu Xiaoyao’s arm as they walked slowly down the road.

Not until the surroundings were completely devoid of people did she raise her head to look at him again.

“Just now, I saw blood on the ground, was Uncle injured?”

Thinking about it, she added, as if afraid he’d misunderstand: “I was just casually asking, no other sentiments, Brother don’t misunderstand.”

“Why so cautious? Even if there are, isn’t that normal?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s words were not out of spite; in fact, he didn’t even understand what spite was.

Given Baili Xia’s relationship with Uncle and the past affections, no matter what she does in the future, those feelings existed.

Caring, isn’t that a normal thing as well? What is there to misunderstand?

However… mentioning this, Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes dimmed slightly.

He stopped walking, looked down at Baili Xia, and said indifferently, “Yesterday, Uncle was attacked.”

His gaze locked tightly onto Baili Xia’s face; he wanted to see if this girl truly didn’t care anymore about Uncle.

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, her face took on a heavy expression. “Was he seriously injured?”

“Are you still concerned about these?”

“Of course, he is my Uncle after all. If I’m going to marry you in the future, then I need to care for him even more.”
