Chapter 2083

When the servants went upstairs, Mu Xuri finally looked at Baili Xia and said, “How about taking An Ran with you to pick out the wedding dress?”

“She has nothing to do this afternoon, so she can help pick out the wedding dress and she could also be the bridesmaid then.”

The words made Wen Yu’s heart ache uncontrollably.

He spoke up for Ning Anran, but did he ever consider her feelings?

Baili Xia smiled faintly, her lively eyes slightly lifted, her gaze falling on Ning Anran.

“Does An Ran want to go too?”

She asked casually, without a hint of rejection.

Ning Anran couldn’t help but feel a tightness in her heart, having just been taught a lesson at school by her a few days ago.

Even though Zimo was around this time, she dared to say, if Baili Xia wanted to make her suffer, Zimo definitely wouldn’t stop it.

She didn’t want to go, but the way Mu Xuri said it, it was clearly to give her a chance to get close to Baili Xia, and to find out more about her.

While hesitating, not knowing how to refuse, Wen Yu spoke up.

“I think An Ran probably doesn’t want to go. How about I go instead?”

“I’ve seen a lot and can give more advice.”

As soon as these words were spoken, it hit two birds with one stone.

It pointed out Ning Anran’s reluctance, while making her own desire to go sound like she was genuinely helping Zimo choose a wedding dress.

Ning Anran felt a trace of displeasure emanating from Mu Xuri.

She turned her eyes slightly, a flash of hatred glistening in her eyes.

“What is Mrs. Wen talking about? Zimo is a friend I grew up with, accompanying her to choose a wedding dress, I will go no matter how busy I am.”

“Moreover, if I go, I can also choose the bridesmaid’s dress.”

Implies that she is the one qualified to be the bridesmaid, and Mrs. Wen is too old, unfit for the position.

After speaking, she stood up and walked behind Mu Xuri, lightly placing her hand on his shoulder.

“It’s just, Uncle, I initially planned to give you a massage this afternoon. If I go, I probably won’t have the time.”

Her soft fingers gently kneaded on Mu Xuri’s shoulder, such a coquettish appearance, it was the first time Baili Xia had seen it, she couldn’t help but hold Ning Anran in contempt.

Mu Xuri was Mrs. Wen’s man, this was well known outside.

She pleased Mu Xuri like this in front of Mrs. Wen, did she consider Wen Yu’s feelings?

And the way she spoke gave no face to Wen Yu at all.

Baili Xia always thought Ning Anran was just a pawn used by Mu Xuri.

How could she compare to Wen Yu?

But now it seems that the situation isn’t as she thought.

She glanced at Wen Yu from the corner of her eye, and sure enough, saw her face already clouded with anger, a pair of Phoenix eyes filled with fury.

Maybe, she didn’t dare to lose her temper just because Baili Xia was present.

Mu Xuri lifted his hand, gently patting the soft, boneless back of her hand on his shoulder.

“It’s fine, just go, you can give me a massage next time.”

He then looked at Wen Yu and said blandly, “You should stay out of this, it’s something for these young folks.”

Wen Yu’s face turned red, even though there were a million things she wanted to say, she couldn’t speak them.

She could only respond softly, lowering her head, and remain silent.

At this moment, all she could do was hate herself for having chosen the wrong person to follow.

Even Mu Xuri knew she was not young anymore, but he never thought of giving her any status.

After following him for so many years, in others’ eyes, she was probably just stuck as a mistress.

Baili Xia watched her look, and her heart unexpectedly softened a bit.

She hadn’t imagined that this woman, even under Ning Anran’s thumb, could live so pressed down.
