Chapter 2386

“No.”

This place might not ensure her safety, especially since he couldn’t stand seeing her being led by these people.

“The Bei Family’s medicinal field is not a place anyone can enter. Can’t you just wait for me here?”

“Why can you go in?” Wu Ming asked coldly.

“I…”

Baili Xia didn’t know what to say. If she were truly the Bei Family’s daughter-in-law, it would make sense for her to go in.

But she wasn’t and could never be.

“Wu Ming…”

Seeing Baili Xia’s predicament, he didn’t want to make things difficult for her.

“You can’t let that guy hold your hand.”

This was his only request, considering the old man wouldn’t go too far.

If anything really happened, he could rush over in time.

Moreover, with Bei Tianyou present, this girl’s safety was assured.

Baili Xia was a bit confused by his words.

But all she wanted now was to get over there quickly.

After all, making an old man wait for her didn’t sit right with her.

So she nodded and said softly, “Okay, no holding hands.”

In fact, they usually didn’t hold hands, today Brother You just wanted to avoid arousing suspicion from the old man.

Seeing that he said no more, she sighed in relief and turned to head over there.

The interaction between these two seemed normal in the old man’s eyes.

A grown man is bound to have some temperament, and even a servant is no exception.

Moreover, such a skilled man didn’t look like a servant at all.

His interaction with the girl was more like friendship.

The young girl showed no signs of being haughty and even cared about the bodyguard’s feelings, which was quite commendable.

However, all of this was somewhat puzzling in Bei Tianyou’s eyes.

Were these two really in a master-servant relationship?

Xiaxia seemed to fear him, something he felt clearly.

And the man’s stature seemed oddly familiar.

He couldn’t recall when he had seen him before.

As Baili Xia returned, Bei Tianyou returned to normal.

After greeting him, Baili Xia took the old man deeper into the field.

Bei Tianyou surely would keep watch behind the two of them.

…

The old man introduced Baili Xia to a few prized varieties, all newly developed medicinal seedlings this year.

Plus, they were cultivated quite well.

Seeing the smile on his face, Baili Xia knew how much these things meant to him.

After all, for someone who’d dealt with medicine all his life, these seedlings might seem like his own offspring.

In the end, the old man was discussing something with the workers.

Baili Xia and Bei Tianyou were left behind, sipping tea in another pavilion.

“Wu Ming… is he really just your bodyguard?”

Baili Xia didn’t expect him to ask. Who Wu Ming was to her, she truly couldn’t say for sure.

“I guess so, a bodyguard given by Uncle.”

“I noticed he treats you differently.” Bei Tianyou raised an eyebrow.

“There’s nothing different. It’s just his nature; you all know that.” Baili Xia replied with a smile.

“I mean, his feelings for you seem unusual.”

Baili Xia took a sip of tea, forcibly suppressing the emotions in her heart before looking up at Bei Tianyou.

“In my heart, he and Guisu are both people who treat me kindly, my good friends.”

“I won’t think much beyond that.”

“If Brother You is referring to romance, I don’t plan to pursue a relationship for now either.”

Despite being just a nineteen-year-old girl, she had gone through so much.

When she spoke these words, there was already a sense of maturity.

She sighed and continued, “I will find an appropriate opportunity to explain everything clearly to the old man.”
