Chapter 2211

Before getting married, Mu Lingchuan and Zimo lived in the main house.

Tomorrow, the two of them will officially move to the new residence.

“He’s getting things ready at Mo Yan Residence; there’s also a celebration there tomorrow.”

“Mo Yan Residence? Your new home?”

Baili Xia raised her brows, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

Zimo’s face flushed slightly, tacitly confirming.

“Mo Yan, Mo Yan, the name is nice.”

“Mo is from Zimo; using your name shows you mean a lot to Big Brother.”

“Mo Yan sounds like ‘Don’t speak’, is it Big Brother’s way of saying he should listen to you more and argue less?”

Zimo’s face reddened further; indeed, that’s what Mu Lingchuan said when naming it.

Was it really that obvious? Baili Xia had figured it out so quickly.

From her expression, Baili Xia also knew she was right.

“Big Brother is so good to you, what are you worried about?”

“Relax, after tomorrow, you’ll officially become Mrs. Mu.”

Zimo forced a smile, lifting her hand to quietly caress her increasingly prominent belly, a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

This child has completely changed her life.

The freedom she always pursued, the life of wandering with a sword, she had to give it up.

Watching her gesture, Baili Xia felt a warm sensation in her heart.

Unable to hold back, she asked, “Does he move?”

Zimo nodded: “Sometimes I can feel a little.”

“Really?” Baili Xia’s already expressive eyes widened even more.

“Let me feel.”

Zimo was a bit embarrassed but still allowed her to reach out and gently explore her belly.

Baili Xia closed her eyes, concentrating on feeling.

“Really, he just moved.”

Maybe the little guy inside sensed someone was playing with him, and decided to give a few kicks.

“So amazing.”

Seeing Zimo’s joyous expression, with the slight bulge showing the life taking form beneath,

Baili Xia was happy for her, but also envious.

Sadly, she would never have the chance to have her own baby…

Zimo smiled and said: “You could try if you want; you’re going to marry Mu Xiaoyao anyway.”

Baili Xia was briefly taken aback, barely managing a smile, saying nothing more.

The matter with Brother, she hadn’t disclosed to anyone that it was merely a charade.

Even if the engagement banquet was taking place in a few days, she had to follow through on the play.

As for where her real home would be, it was not something to consider now.

Crossing that chasm with Uncle, she wasn’t sure if it was possible.

“Zimo, I heard you have to get up very early to do makeup on the wedding day?”

“Yes, the servants told me to sleep early, seems like we’ll need to be up by five.”

“Ah, getting married is quite tiring.”

“I’ll come with you in the morning.”

Baili Xia didn’t want to discuss feelings too much, so she shifted the topic back to tomorrow’s wedding.

The two chatted for a long while before she left.

…

As she walked downstairs, the maids were arranging things in the hall.

Suddenly, Baili Xia noticed a familiar figure cross the hall into Mu Xuri’s study.

It was Tian, she realized.

What was she doing in Mu Xuri’s study now?

Earlier, she’d heard Wen Yu mention that when Tian was in Mu Xuri’s room, it seemed like she was discussing something private.

Now that she’s going in again, is there some other scheme at play?
