Chapter 2385

Meeting Bei Tianyou’s clear, transparent gaze, Baili Xia finally relaxed; she’d really just been overthinking everything.

Brother You’s eyes were completely clear, without a trace of impurity in them.

With such a good Brother You, how could she still let her thoughts run wild?

She gathered herself, lowering her head a little shyly.

Of course, this shyness was only for the old master to see.

Before everything about Bei Qingyou was brought to light, letting everyone think she and Bei Tianyou had a special relationship, at least for the time being, would make her actions in the Bei Family less open to criticism.

Otherwise, for no reason at all, Old Madam and Bei Qingyue would never believe she stayed without any agenda of her own.

After all, she was still a college student, not yet graduated.

If Bei Tianyou wanted a private doctor, there was simply no reason he would choose someone like her.

Staying in the Bei Family raised too many questions; instead, it would only make people suspicious.

She just didn’t know what Bei Tianyou himself thought of all this—she kept making excuses to stay here; wouldn’t he suspect anything?

Or did he simply not care, even if he did suspect?

After all, he never asked about anything she did.

“Silly girl, there’s nothing for you to be shy about.”

“Since you’re going to be one of the Bei Family, you should know a little about the Bei Family’s business.”

“Yes, sir.”

Even though she felt helpless, Baili Xia still agreed first.

“You’re still calling me ‘sir’?”

Baili Xia was a bit stumped. Could it be…

“Sir Bei…” she called softly.

It seemed that sometimes, she did call him that.

If she had to call him “Grandpa” the way Brother You did, she really couldn’t bring herself to say it.

He was her grandfather on her mother’s side; how could she possibly call him Grandpa?

The old master knew she was embarrassed and didn’t want to make it hard on her.

Patting her small hand, he slowly stood up.

“Come walk with me over to the medicinal fields. I’ll introduce you to some of the new varieties we cultivated this year.”

Seeing him get up, Baili Xia immediately stood as well and went over to support him.

Bei Tianyou still stood there with an indifferent expression, ready at any time to await the old master’s instructions.

Seeing them about to leave, Wu Ming strode forward to follow.

At that moment, Fan Yi stepped up and blocked his path.

“Sorry, you can’t go in.”

“Why?” Wu Ming let out a cold snort.

His skills were good, but he was still a bit green.

“Anyone who isn’t part of the Bei Family is not allowed into the medicinal fields.”

Fan Yi’s voice was still icy, as if he were just stating a simple fact.

Even though he knew full well he was no match for this man, whatever he ought to do, he would risk his life to get it done.

Hearing the argument behind her, Baili Xia stopped, letting go of the old master’s hand.

“Sir, let me go talk to my man. He doesn’t understand the rules here…”

“This friend of mine has a terrible temper, but he’s only here because someone asked him to protect me, so…”

The old master hadn’t expected that before he could even speak, she’d already offered so much explanation.

This girl was becoming more and more likable.

“All right, it’s fine. Go explain it to him.”

The old master nodded, standing there to wait for her.

Baili Xia turned, nodded to Bei Tianyou, then walked over that way.

Seeing her approach, Fan Yi stepped aside.

Even so, no matter what, he had to guard this place.

The Bei Family’s medicinal fields could not tolerate any outsiders entering.

Even he could only stand guard here and wait for the young master to come out.

As for Baili Xia, she was the granddaughter-in-law personally acknowledged by the old master, so of course she could go in with them.

“Wu Ming.” Baili Xia pulled him aside.

“Wait here for me, all right?”
