“Oh, I see.”

Baili Xia’s face was a little flushed. She shifted her gaze, looking at the road beneath her feet.

Having a brother-like figure feels so good; no matter where he goes, she’s willing to follow.

Watching the interaction between these two and seeing the girl’s captivated look, Wu Ming clenched his fists tightly.

His nails seemed to have dug into his palms, yet he felt no pain.

He really wished he could find someone to vent his frustration on intensely.

Even though he knows that Bei Tianyou is her cousin.

But, so what if he’s her cousin?

A cousin is still a man!

…

After passing a small path, Baili Xia saw Sir Bei just ahead.

She didn’t know what he was discussing with the workers there.

She freed herself from Bei Tianyou’s large hand and ran directly towards Sir Bei.

When the distance between the two was close enough, Baili Xia stopped.

She stood there, tidied her clothes and long hair, then stepped forward.

Perhaps, she wanted to show her best side in front of the elder.

The two men following her watched this side of her, their lips unconsciously curving upwards slightly.

This girl has always been like this, hiding her heart to let everyone see her good side.

Maybe she couldn’t bear to let everyone feel sad because of her sadness.

Having been with her for so long, how could Wu Ming not know?

“Sir Bei.” Baili Xia called out softly.

Sir Bei steadied himself before slowly turning around.

Before he could turn completely, Baili Xia had already reached him.

At this time, the workers also stepped back.

“Xiaxia, you’re here.” Sir Bei’s voice sounded peaceful, carrying bits of joy.

“Yes, sorry for keeping you waiting.”

“It’s nothing, Grandpa just arrived too.”

Sir Bei looked in good spirits today, perhaps due to a pleasant mood.

Baili Xia was afraid he might be standing too long, so she supported him and walked toward the nearby pavilion.

“Sir, why did you ask me over today?” Baili Xia asked softly.

“What’s wrong, little girl, you’re not willing to come over?”

“No, that’s not what I meant.”

“It’s just that this is the Bei Family’s medicine field, I’m an outsider, worried…”

“Worried about what?” Sir Bei frowned.

“You and You’s marriage should be arranged soon.”

“Otherwise, this silly girl will always see herself as an outsider.”

Sir Bei glanced back at Bei Tianyou: “Did you hear that? You brat, stop dawdling.”

“If my granddaughter-in-law runs away, I won’t forgive you.”

When speaking of these things, Sir Bei truly seemed full of vigor.

“Alright, I got it.” Bei Tianyou furrowed his brows as he responded.

Baili Xia furrowed her brows, glancing back at him.

Knowing it’s a fake matter, Brother You answered so smoothly, which really doesn’t fit his character.

Moreover, at this rate, wouldn’t it be even harder to clarify later?

Bei Tianyou gave her a reassuring look and smiled slightly.

Baili Xia really couldn’t understand him; is his concern for her based on feelings?

If it’s really like she thinks, that’ll be troublesome.

Any misunderstanding can be cleared up, except for love.

She suddenly felt impulsive, wanting to go up and tell him she’s his sister.

But, it can’t be spoken, at least not now.

However, Bei Tianyou’s gaze didn’t seem to have any mixed feelings.

Their closeness today was probably just for Sir Bei to see.

Usually, they wouldn’t hold hands while walking, except for today.
