Chapter 2224

Mu Lingchuan and Zimo stood facing each other, appearing like obedient students, completing the procedures under the guidance of the master of ceremonies.

“Let us all bless this newlywed couple, may they be united in heart and live happily together for a hundred years.”

Finally, the ceremony was completed.

This was a wedding banquet combining Western and Chinese traditions—simple yet not understated—and all the guests were immersed in it.

“Please all guests wait a moment, the performance will start shortly.”

Following this, the master of ceremonies led Mu Lingchuan and Zimo into the hall to tidy up in a room.

Baili Xia finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to follow them.

Once inside the hall, she immediately tugged at Zimo’s clothes.

“Zimo, I don’t feel well.”

Zimo stopped, turned back with a concerned expression.

“What’s wrong? Where do you feel unwell?”

Seeing this, Mu Lingchuan also approached, looking down at Baili Xia.

“I have a stomachache.” She clutched her belly, a hint of pain on her face.

“What’s going on? Did you eat something bad?”

“No, I didn’t eat breakfast this morning.”

Mu Lingchuan said, “I’ll call a doctor over to check on you.”

Baili Xia quickly shook her head, “No need, I’ll go see my master.”

Nangong Xu was among the guests, so finding him would be convenient.

Mu Lingchuan nodded, “Alright, let him have a look, come back when you’re better.”

Zimo was still a bit worried, “Should I accompany you?”

Baili Xia forced a smile, “It’s okay, you’re getting married today. It’s not okay if the bride runs off with me.”

Since she was still able to joke, it seemed nothing was seriously wrong, and Zimo felt relieved.

Baili Xia exited the hall and began searching for Nangong Xu among the guests.

Very quickly, she found him, but sitting at the table were also Mu Ziying and Mu Ziqing.

Seeing Baili Xia approaching, a hint of doubt flashed in Nangong Xu’s eyes.

“Why did you come out?”

Baili Xia glanced at Mu Ziying and Mu Ziqing, and softly said, “My stomach suddenly feels very uncomfortable, I’d like you to check it.”

Mu Ziying said, “You looked fine just now, why suddenly not well?”

“I don’t know either.”

Nangong Xu took Baili Xia’s wrist, his fingers gently touching the pulse.

The pulse was steady, completely normal.

He raised his eyebrows, meeting Baili Xia’s gaze.

Those lively big eyes seemed to be conveying some information.

“Maybe it’s something you ate, let’s go to the medical room and get you some medicine.”

After saying that, Nangong Xu stood up, ready to leave.

Mu Ziying saw they were about to go and quickly said, “You better hurry back, there’s going to be a performance soon, I heard there are many stars.”

Mu Ziqing teased, “You see stars every day, why are you still chasing them?”

Mu Ziying stuck out her fragrant tongue, “It’s not you I want to see.”

Baili Xia smiled and nodded, quickly getting up to follow Nangong Xu.

Leaving at this time was really noticeable.

On the way, several people asked them where they were going, but thankfully with Nangong Xu there, no one suspected anything.

Outside Mo Yan Residence, once they were on the road and out of sight, Nangong Xu stopped walking.

He turned to look at Baili Xia, asking softly, “What’s going on?”

“Uncle and Brother haven’t returned yet; I’m worried something might have happened to them.”

Nangong Xu pondered briefly, then immediately took out his phone and dialed Mu Xiaojiu.

The call went through, and Baili Xia could hear the faint ringing on the other side.

Her heart instantly stirred with excitement, finally being able to contact Uncle.

However, the ringing continued without anyone answering.

Nangong Xu furrowed his brows, a trace of unease rising in his eyes.

“Let’s go, we’ll head back to Sihai Residence first.”
