Chapter 2328

No wonder there never seemed to be that feeling between Xiaxia and Mu Xiaoyao, now that everything’s over, no one mentions that wedding anymore.

But what about her and Mr. Xiaojiu?

Since it was fake with Mu Xiaoyao, could there also be something wrong with the feelings she shared with Mr. Xiaojiu?

Xiaoxiao’s gaze never wavered from Baili Xia’s face, and she continued to ask, “And you and Mr. Xiaojiu? Mr. Xiaojiu seems to treat you very well, aren’t you still thinking about him?”

This time, Xiaoxiao clearly saw a strange look in Baili Xia’s eyes.

That complex emotion was completely different from when she was asked about the wedding with Mu Xiaoyao.

Baili Xia seemed to be stunned, her eyes losing their shining luster.

Her gaze fell into a corner of the room, uncertain of how to explain to Xiaoxiao.

Seeing this response, Xiaoxiao became even more sure of her thoughts.

She pressed on, “I can tell you still care about him, right?”

Baili Xia took a deep breath, sat up from the bed, looked at Xiaoxiao, and shook her head.

She said nothing, got up, and walked to the wardrobe to start packing again.

Her actions already gave Xiaoxiao the answer, and with a shallow sigh, she said no more.

It was unclear how much time passed before Xiaoxiao looked at Baili Xia’s back and sighed again.

“Actually, I did it on purpose earlier, Xiaxia, don’t be mad.”

“I know, you want me to stay and be with Uncle, so that you have a reason to be with Ye Hua.”

“Pff…” Xiaoxiao nearly choked on her own spit.

Naughty Xiaxia, how could she think of her like that?

She just didn’t want to see her sad!

When Baili Xia looked back at her, the sadness that had pressed on her was already gone.

Now, talking about Mu Xiaojiu with others, Baili Xia was no longer as evasive as she had been over the past month or more.

She could let go better than anyone.

“You and Ye Hua being together is your own business, why should it be affected by anyone else?”

“That’s not it at all,” Xiaoxiao gave her a look, “Don’t purposely change the subject, I just want to know, have you really decided to let go of Mr. Xiaojiu?”

“I’m not in a position to ask for it.” If she could, why wouldn’t she?

Some pains must be endured, but Baili Xia firmly believed that with time, all pain would eventually pass.

“You really have a good perspective,” Xiaoxiao muttered, continuing to help pack her things, without saying anything else.

Perhaps, time really is the best medicine.

No matter what wounds or pains there are, with time, everything might be resolved, right?

But she wasn’t Baili Xia, she ultimately didn’t know Baili Xia’s true thoughts.

Some things, even if one spends a lifetime, cannot be changed.

She couldn’t ask for Uncle, truly couldn’t.

Better to let go, and go their separate ways.

“Don’t take those, they’re not mine, I don’t want them.”

“Understood.”

…

At around nine in the evening, Mu Xiaojiu returned from outside.

Recently, he seemed particularly busy, so busy he only had time to make porridge for Baili Xia.

For several days, during the daytime, he was nowhere to be seen at Sihai Residence.

He would prepare the porridge in the morning, and then head out, not returning until nine or ten at night.

However, this side of Mr. Xiaojiu really opened everyone’s eyes.

A business warrior and domestic man, who had ever seen this side of him in all these years?

For Miss Xiaxia, he really changed a lot, so much that one could not imagine.
