Chapter 2081

Seeing Mo keeping her head down without saying anything, Baili Xia got a bit anxious, raising her voice slightly.

“What’s going on? Hurry up and tell me, Mo.”

As if suddenly startled, Mo lifted her head and met Baili Xia’s gaze.

“It’s nothing, I’m just a little scared.”

“Scared of what? Getting married?” Baili Xia looked surprised. How could someone as strong as Mo be afraid of something?

Thinking about it, she realized that since being with Brother, Mo had changed a lot.

She had become more tender, a bit indecisive, no longer the decisive and hot-tempered Mo.

“What’s there to be afraid of about marriage? Being with the one you love, you should be happy.”

Baili Xia had never experienced it, so she didn’t know what getting married truly felt like.

But in her mind, marriage was a promise between two people, a unity of life and death, inseparable.

It’s the inevitable stop for great love; without marriage, there’s no way to truly bind people together.

Mo shook her head, unsure of what to say.

She understood all this, but was this person really the one she loved?

She didn’t have that feeling at all; if it weren’t for the child, she wouldn’t have come this far.

Now, as the day drew nearer, her heart grew increasingly uneasy.

“It might be something like pre-wedding jitters, I’ve heard a lot of people get it.”

“Don’t worry, once you’re really married, you won’t be this nervous.”

Baili Xia said seriously, as if she was an expert on love.

Unbeknownst to others, her own affairs were still a mess.

“How about this, tomorrow I’ll go with you to the bridal shop to pick out a wedding dress, it’ll be relaxing.”

“I guarantee once you see those beautiful dresses, you’ll be eager to get married immediately.”

Mo smiled softly and nodded, as if to reassure Baili Xia.

She wasn’t particularly interested in looking at wedding dresses.

But being able to go out with Xiaxia was good, better than staying cooped up at the Mu Mansion every day.

Seeing her agree, Baili Xia felt relieved.

“So it’s settled, we’ll have Brother accompany us tomorrow.”

After planning for the next day, they chatted with Xiaoxiao for a while, and that’s when Ye Hua returned.

After returning Xiaoxiao to him, Baili Xia accompanied Mo back to the main house.

After seeing her to the main house, she returned to the Sihai Residence.

As she approached Sihai Residence, she saw a black car parked at the gate from afar.

Baili Xia felt a wave of joy and quickened her pace.

When she reached the hall, she saw Mu Xiaoyao looking indifferent as he descended from the second floor.

Seeing Baili Xia, he paused momentarily, then walked over to her.

“Brother…” Baili Xia called softly.

“You’re heading out again?” Seeing him in haste, she inquired.

Mu Xiaoyao nodded, a trace of pity crossing his face as he said softly, “I’ve been really busy lately.”

This period had indeed been busy, leaving him no time at all to spend with this girl.

Even in the mornings, he let the driver take her to school.

“Where have you been? I haven’t seen you at all.”

“You,” naturally referring to him and Uncle.

Mu Xiaoyao’s tired gaze fell upon her, hesitated for a moment but didn’t speak.

What he and Uncle were doing couldn’t be disclosed to this girl.

Seeing the fleeting disappointment in Baili Xia’s eyes, his gaze dimmed.

Feeling that his attitude wasn’t quite right, he explained, “Uncle and I are working on something important.”
