“Alright, got it.”

Long Ting agreed, but a hint of doubt surfaced in his eyes.

“Miss Xiaxia, do you feel that something will happen tomorrow?”

Baili Xia nodded: “Yes, but I’m not sure either. We can only do our own preventive work.”

“For the bride and groom, and the medical room at Sihai Residence, you should deploy more people.”

“Okay, I will focus on arranging that when I get back.”

Baili Xia said no more; after all, Long Ting was not her subordinate.

He has been with Uncle for a long time, so he would probably only listen to him.

Giving him work assignments like this feels somewhat inappropriate.

“Then I’ll trouble Captain Long Ting.”

Long Ting cupped his hands and nodded to Baili Xia.

“I’ll head back first, there are still many places that need arrangements.”

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Direct and efficient, this Captain Long Ting really doesn’t beat around the bush.

After Long Ting left, Baili Xia looked at Yu Le and asked, “Is Uncle not at the base?”

“No.”

Baili Xia knew it was pointless to ask; if he were here, Uncle would have contacted her immediately.

She’s done all she can, now it’s just a matter of seeing what happens tomorrow.

…

After dinner, Baili Xia returned to her room.

Just as she sat down for a moment, there was a knock on the door.

She opened it to find a young maid standing outside, a smile in her eyes as if there was good news.

“Miss Xiaxia, Mr. Bei is here to see you.”

Baili Xia then understood why the maid had that expression—she was lovestruck.

She already anticipated they would come and immediately followed her downstairs.

In the hall, Bei Tianyou and Guisu were sitting on the sofa, with Fan Yi standing by, waiting for Baili Xia.

“Brother You.”

Before reaching downstairs, Baili Xia called out.

Seeing them again, she felt indescribable joy.

Although she knew they arrived in the afternoon and were at the main house,

many things there were inconvenient to discuss, so she hadn’t gone to find them.

Bei Tianyou looked at Baili Xia, lips gently raised.

Baili Xia briskly stepped down the stairs and came before them.

“Guisu, Fan Yi.”

After greeting the two, she sat down on the sofa.

“Didn’t expect that Big Brother invited you both here too.”

Bei Tianyou casually replied, “It’s Mr. Mu’s wedding; if we didn’t come, wouldn’t people say we’re disrespectful?”

Baili Xia chuckled; such talk might fool kids, but she would never buy it.

What a proud person Brother You is; he wouldn’t care about others’ opinions.

Moreover, if he didn’t come, the Bei Family could send someone else.

Baili Xia asked, “Did only you come from the Bei Family?”

Bei Tianyou raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is there someone else you wish to see?”

As if predicting her thoughts, he continued:

“Grandpa hasn’t been feeling well lately, so he decided not to trouble himself with traveling.”

Baili Xia’s heart tightened; she urgently asked, “Did Grandpa have health issues?”

“Just the old problem. Mr. Nangong isn’t there, so there’s less care.”

Baili Xia felt even worse; because of her injury at the time, Uncle had Master come back.

In a way, she’s responsible for this.

Seeing her expression turning sour, Bei Tianyou consoled, “Don’t overthink it. It’s an old ailment; nothing serious.”

Baili Xia nodded and said, “Once things are settled here, I’ll visit Grandpa with Master.”

Bei Tianyou watched Baili Xia, his indifferent gaze tinged with complexity.

Some things remain elusive and hard to grasp.
