Chapter 2088

Baili Xia sat by the window, watching the bustling streets, and sighed at how pleasant life could be.

Suddenly, her gaze sharpened, locking onto a passerby.

The girl walked over from afar, dressed in black leather jacket and pants, looking extremely efficient.

But that wasn’t the most important thing, what caught Baili Xia’s attention was her face.

This face seemed familiar.

Yet no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t recall where she had seen it before.

Through the glass, Baili Xia’s gaze was tightly fixed on the girl’s face.

As the distance drew closer, her eyes followed the girl’s movement.

Until the girl walked past the window, she still couldn’t figure out who it was.

“Xiaxia, what’s wrong?” Noticing her deep in thought, Mo asked with concern.

Baili Xia’s brows furrowed as she continued to try to remember.

“I saw someone familiar, but I can’t remember who exactly.”

She raised her hand to rest on her forehead.

She faintly felt this person was very important to her, but why couldn’t she recall?

“Perhaps it’s just resemblance, there are many people who look alike.”

Seeing how hard she was thinking, Wen Yu comforted her.

“Yeah, if you can’t remember, let it go.” Even An Ran spoke up.

Baili Xia wanted to give up; maybe, as they said, it was just someone who looked similar.

She gathered her thoughts and decided not to think about it anymore.

Who would have guessed, just as she settled back, her body jolted as if struck by lightning.

“I’m going out for a bit!”

She suddenly stood up and quickly exited the café.

No need to ask, they guessed she was probably going after that person.

“I’ll go take a look.” Mo stood up, also wanting to chase after her.

Baili Xia went out on her own, Mo felt a bit worried.

But just as she was about to leave, a large hand tightened, holding hers firmly.

“Sit down,” Mu Lingchuan said calmly.

“I want to check on Xiaxia.”

Despite saying this, when faced with Mu Lingchuan’s resolute gaze, Mo was left with no option.

She sat back down on the chair, feeling anxious.

She didn’t know who Xiaxia suddenly went out to chase.

If it was a bad person, what would she do?

Mu Lingchuan glanced at Ning Anran.

His meaning was clear; none of them were suitable to chase after Baili Xia.

Mo was pregnant, so he had to stay with her, and Wen Yu was an elder.

Only Ning Anran was convenient.

Ning Anran was extremely unwilling to go; wasn’t this creating an opportunity for her to be with Baili Xia?

It would be fine not catching up, but if she did, wouldn’t she be setting herself up?

However, under Mu Lingchuan’s intimidating gaze, she truly didn’t dare refuse.

“I’ll go.”

She forced a smile onto her face, stood up, and slowly walked towards the café’s exit.

…

After leaving the café, Baili Xia looked ahead and could vaguely see the girl in black attire.

She started running wildly along the road, chasing in the direction where the girl disappeared.

She couldn’t let her leave, absolutely not!

Perhaps she made too much noise, as the girl turned her head to glance back just as Baili Xia was about to catch up.

It seemed she knew Baili Xia was chasing her, and her pace clearly quickened.

Despite Baili Xia’s efforts to chase, after a while, the distance between them grew instead.

Baili Xia chased several hundred meters, crossed two roads, yet found she had lost sight of her.

This was somewhat unbelievable; after all, with her current skill, it was rare for a girl to escape right under her nose!
