Chapter 2349

Baili Xia had so much on her mind that she couldn’t even remember when she returned to Bi Luo Pavilion.

Bei Tianyou wasn’t there, so Baili Xia was at a loose end and directly went to her room.

Just as she pushed the door, she immediately halted her steps and sidestepped to the side.

Her vigilant gaze swept into the room, and sure enough, she saw there was another person inside.

The tall figure stood by the window, gazing at some unknown distance.

The familiar silhouette made Baili Xia’s heart ache instantly and also left her shaken.

Whether it was excitement or something else, her emotions surged like a storm.

In the end, it was all bitterness.

“Why are you here? We’ve agreed that we owe each other nothing now, so why did he come?”

She had worked hard all day, striving to erase his image from her mind, but his arrival rendered all her efforts futile.

Why did he come looking for her?

“Why can’t I come?” A hoarse voice accompanied by a face riddled with old scars appeared in front of her as he turned around.

Baili Xia’s heart shivered, and she looked up at him sharply.

Wu Ming…

At that moment, Baili Xia felt as if she lost all her strength, nearly unable to stand.

It turned out it was Wu Ming!

When she saw his back just now, she really thought… thought… she was so foolish! How could she mistake Wu Ming for Uncle?

She was really so stupid, even misrecognizing people!

Baili Xia exhaled, though she wasn’t sure if it was a sigh of relief or disappointment; in any case, her feelings were incredibly complex.

Thinking of it, she even felt a bit pitiful, being able to confuse Wu Ming and Uncle.

However, how could those two guys resemble each other so closely?

“What kind of expression is that?” Wu Ming furrowed his thick brows, walking toward her.

Since it was Wu Ming, Baili Xia was obviously much more at ease when facing him.

“No particular expression, just surprised to see you here.”

She also walked inside and closed the door casually: “Why are you here?”

“Got fired by Mr. Xiaojiu, so I came along with you.”

Wu Ming sat down on the couch and stared at her: “I’m hungry, make me something to eat.”

He hadn’t eaten anything the whole day until now.

“Couldn’t you get food for yourself if you’re hungry? What does looking for me achieve?”

Despite saying this, Baili Xia immediately turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare food for him.

Having spent so much time together, she understood Wu Ming quite well.

When he says he’s hungry, he’s genuinely hungry, no pretenses.

If he’s not fed, it’s hard to get any pleasant words from him.

Sure enough, after bringing back the food and feeding the man, Wu Ming’s attitude improved quite a bit.

Not in the way of flattering her, but in that his expression looked better.

“Spill it, why are you here? Are you plotting something with Brother?”

Baili Xia hadn’t forgotten that Mu Xiaoyao went out right after arriving.

Her instinct told her he had something very important to do, perhaps still related to Uncle.

After all, Brother had always worked for Uncle.

“Mr. Xiaojiu fired me and told me to follow you from now on.”

Probably because he was full now, Wu Ming’s patience was better than usual.

Baili Xia’s expression turned stern: “Don’t joke around.”

“Do you think I’m the kind of person who jokes?”

Wu Ming lightly furrowed his brows, turning his head, his habitually indifferent starry eyes fixed on her fair face.

“From now on, you have to take care of my food, clothing, and shelter. When Mr. Xiaojiu kicked me out, he only gave me a plane ticket and nothing else.”
