“I think, the old man is so enlightened, he will surely understand.”

Baili Xia looked at Bei Tianyou, paused for a moment, then continued to speak.

“Brother You, I am truly grateful for your help, but this misunderstanding…”

“No problem, we’ll talk about it later. For now, at least you can avoid some unnecessary trouble, right?”

Bei Tianyou poured himself a cup of tea, no longer looking at Baili Xia.

His words indeed moved her.

It’s just… she bit her lip, lowered her voice when no one was paying attention.

“Brother You… Aren’t you at all curious why I came to the Bei Family?”

“Whatever ties between you and Uncle Feng Jin are your own business, why should I ask?”

Bei Tianyou raised an eyebrow, a complex light hidden in his eyes.

Baili Xia’s heart trembled; she and her father… It turned out Brother You knew about the connection between her and Bei Fengjin.

Bei Tianyou looked at her black bright eyes filled with unease, and couldn’t help but curl his lips into a faint smile.

“Why panic? Are you after his good looks, or interested in his medicine-making techniques? These, I won’t ask.”

“Brother You…” Baili Xia’s lips trembled lightly, yet she couldn’t utter a single word.

Is this really what he thought? Just believed she wanted to learn medicine-making techniques from Bei Fengjin?

Unexpectedly, Bei Tianyou suddenly straightened his face, stared directly at her: “Then, will you do anything to harm the Bei Family?”

“No, absolutely not!” She is a child of the Bei Family; how could she do anything to harm it?

This “won’t” was absolutely sincere.

Therefore, the smile on Bei Tianyou’s lips returned.

“Since you won’t harm the Bei Family, what’s wrong with you staying here? Why should I dig deeper and make you unhappy?”

Thinking of that lonely figure, Bei Tianyou couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

“Uncle Feng Jin has never liked associating with others, yet you’re the special exception along with Wu Ming. If you can bring more smiles to him, I wouldn’t oppose you being close to him.”

“Brother You…” Baili Xia’s heart felt sour, but she only looked at him, without speaking.

Why is he always so good, always… so touching?

There’s not a trace of romantic feelings between them, yet this doting, this kindness, truly warms the heart.

When can she finally recognize this brother?

“Let’s go, Grandpa is waiting.” Bei Tianyou rubbed her head.

“To freely come and go in the Bei Family, using the title ‘girlfriend’ is rather convenient. Just as I don’t want to be forced into marriage, this works well.”

“Brother You…”

“Besides calling me Brother You, can you say something else?”

Baili Xia sniffed and almost cried from the warmth.

She patted her cheeks, trying to lighten her expression.

Turning back to look at him, she finally smiled again: “I can say… what I want to say is, don’t hold my hand today.”

“Why not let me hold it.” Bei Tianyou deliberately reached out to hold her hand.

Baili Xia stuck out her pink tongue, immediately dodging away, refusing to let him “hold” it.

“I don’t know why, anyway… I just can’t.”

Sticking out her tongue again, she made a face, then hurriedly chased after the old man.

Who knows why, why did Wu Ming just say this casually, and she truly listened to him?

Why… care so much about his feelings?

Baili Xia really doesn’t know why, anyway… just listen to him.

Avoiding arguments later.

Hmm, she just doesn’t want to argue with him.

That guy, arguing is such a headache.
