Chapter 2264

The banquet ended on a cheerful note, and even though Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xuri were at the same table, no one mentioned the events of the morning.

After the meal, just as Baili Xia was about to leave, someone suddenly called out to her from behind.

She stopped and looked back, only to see Bei Tianyou, Guisu, and Fan Yi.

“Brother You.”

Seeing him, a smile appeared on Baili Xia’s face.

But Bei Tianyou’s expression was not as relaxed.

“We’re heading back tonight.”

Baili Xia was slightly taken aback, but then remembered that Brother You had mentioned to her before that they would leave after the banquet.

Seeing her look of surprise, Bei Tianyou raised an eyebrow.

“Come on, I’ll walk you back.”

After saying that, he walked out of Mo Yan Residence first.

Baili Xia knew that Bei Tianyou probably had something to say to her.

There were too many people around, so he used the excuse of walking her back.

She turned to look at Mu Xiaojiu’s table, where Uncle was still sitting, dealing with the guests who kept saying their goodbyes.

Previously, Brother You was at the same table as him. Now that he’s come to find me, could it be that he’s discovered something?

“Miss Xiaxia,” Fan Yi called softly, bringing Baili Xia back to her senses.

Her gaze returned to Bei Tianyou, who had already walked several meters away in just a few seconds.

“Oh.”

Baili Xia responded and quickly caught up with his pace.

Once they left Mo Yan Residence, Baili Xia and Bei Tianyou walked in the front.

Guisu and Fan Yi followed behind, also looking around, as if they were on guard for something.

After walking for a few minutes and getting some distance from Mo Yan Residence, Bei Tianyou suddenly spoke, “Have you tried the Awakening Spirit Pills?”

Baili Xia shook her head, “I haven’t had the chance.”

She didn’t need them at all, so why waste such good medicine?

Looking into Bei Tianyou’s clear eyes, Baili Xia asked, “Brother You, is there something you want to tell me?”

Bei Tianyou lifted his head slightly, looking into the distance.

After a few seconds, he brought his gaze back to Baili Xia.

“Has something happened at the Mu Mansion?”

Baili Xia was momentarily stunned, her gaze swept over Bei Tianyou and quickly shifted elsewhere.

“No, why do you ask?”

How did Brother You know about what happened at Sihai Residence in the morning?

But as she thought about it, she understood.

She was the bridesmaid and the best friend of the bride,

Also, neither the groom’s uncle nor his younger brother was present. If there wasn’t something important keeping them away, it would be quite unusual.

But what could be so important that none of the three could attend?

“Really nothing happened?”

Bei Tianyou’s gaze didn’t shift from Baili Xia’s face, continuously watching her.

Her obviously evasive eyes immediately revealed the hint of unnaturalness she tried to hide.

“I noticed that Mr. Xiaojiu and Mr. Mu Lingchuan seemed a bit different than usual when they left.”

Baili Xia felt her earlier reaction was too obvious and quickly composed herself.

“Maybe they were too tired. I was with the bride and not with Uncle, so I don’t know what happened to them.”

Such a slightly dismissive answer obviously couldn’t convince Bei Tianyou. He didn’t want to meddle in the Mu family’s matters.

But if it involved this girl, he couldn’t help but worry.

“Why did it take so long for you to return after leaving Mo Yan Residence this morning?”

“I wasn’t feeling well, so I went back to Sihai Residence to lie down for a while. Who knew that when I woke up, it was already afternoon.”

Baili Xia smiled, seeming a bit embarrassed.

“It’s all my fault.”
