Chapter 2218

Guisu suddenly asked, “Did you recover your memory?”

His voice was very low, so low that only Baili Xia could hear it.

Baili Xia was stunned: “No, why do you ask?”

She didn’t know where she had slipped up, allowing Guisu to see through it.

“I saw you over by the main house.”

“Are you investigating past events?”

There was a clear flash of panic in Baili Xia’s eyes; she hadn’t expected to be discovered by Guisu while hidden in a corner of the main house.

Guisu spotted her; did Brother You see her too?

“No, I just happened to be passing by for something.”

“Why didn’t you come out to meet us?”

Guisu’s questions came one after another, leaving Baili Xia no room to think.

Any hesitation would make him think she was lying.

“You should know that there is some discord between me and Uncle, and I really don’t want to see him.”

Guisu’s sharp eyes locked onto Baili Xia, trying to see if she was deceiving him.

But, he saw nothing.

“Guisu, stop being so suspicious.”

“I know you want to stay, but Brother You really needs you over there.”

“No need to wait until his competition is over; I’ll go visit you in Bei Miao in a while.”

“Exactly when?” Guisu clearly wasn’t letting her dodge the question.

Baili Xia was a little frustrated; dealing with this paranoia was really hard.

How could she determine the time?

Things had escalated to this point, and she had to settle the vendetta before she could leave.

“Around a month, probably.”

She could only make up a time, just to get by.

Guisu finally relaxed a bit, not pressing further.

Seeing him agree, Baili Xia wanted to quickly urge him to leave, lest more trouble arise.

“Alright, you should go back now; I have to get up early tomorrow morning.”

Guisu still didn’t want to leave; having met Baili Xia again, he just wanted to stay by her side.

“Go back quickly, or I’ll really get angry.”

Guisu finally stood up, gave Baili Xia a deep look, and reluctantly walked out.

Finally sending Guisu away, Baili Xia lightly let out a breath, feeling somewhat relieved.

She glanced at the time; it was almost eleven o’clock.

She hurried upstairs to her room.

She quickly showered, and at last, she could lie down on the soft bed.

Baili Xia soon fell asleep, but she couldn’t sleep peacefully this night.

Throughout the night, nightmares followed one after another.

Sometimes dreaming of Xiaoxiao in trouble, sometimes dreaming of Zimo in danger.

Sometimes she dreamt of Uncle facing danger.

Baili Xia woke from the dreams several times, but each time she fell asleep again, new nightmares followed.

Finally, at half past four in the morning, the alarm rang.

Baili Xia sat up abruptly from bed, wide awake.

After a night’s sleep, not only did her body fail to relax, it even felt somewhat sore.

Knowing Zimo had to apply makeup early, she could no longer afford to be tired and immediately got up to wash.

Finished washing, she dressed in a casual outfit and headed out.

Actually, Zimo needed makeup, but she did too.

Because, she was Zimo’s only bridesmaid.

This night, the roads of the Mu Mansion were brightly lit.

Baili Xia felt none of the pre-dawn darkness, walking quickly under the lights to the main house.

At this moment, several servants were already working in the main house.

Seeing Baili Xia, they greeted her respectfully, “Miss Xiaxia.”

Baili Xia nodded and asked, “Has the bride started her makeup?”

A servant replied, “The makeup artist just went in.”
