Chapter 2450

The old man glanced at her, deliberately putting on a stern face.

“Do you think I’m not qualified to be called grandpa? Is that why you don’t even want to call me that?”

“How could it be? I just…” Baili Xia looked down at him.

A half-second later, she sighed and smiled: “Alright, grandpa.”

Being accepted by her grandfather made Baili Xia naturally very happy. Although it’s grandpa, it sounded like family.

Compared to Sir Bei, which felt distant, it was certainly much better.

She smiled slightly and continued to busy herself.

As usual, after Baili Xia finished giving him acupuncture, the old man was already fast asleep.

After tidying up the needles, this time Baili Xia didn’t hurry to leave.

Quietly, she took a chair over and sat beside the old man, silently watching him sleep.

Wanting to reach out and touch his cheek, her hand extended halfway, she forcefully retracted it, afraid of waking him up.

Baili Xia pursed her lips, her hands resting on the armrest of the recliner, supporting her chin.

Suddenly she found she didn’t want to leave so quickly after all.

To realize she could accompany her grandfather up close unexpectedly became such a joyful thing for her.

However, she knew she couldn’t stay here forever. If anyone saw her later, it would certainly raise suspicions.

Exhaling lightly, Baili Xia slowly stood up, picked up her small medicine case, took one last deep look at the old man, and then turned to leave the room.

Grandfather, wait for me. As long as I have the time, I will definitely come to accompany you.

…

After leaving the old man’s room, Baili Xia called his personal servant and instructed him to take care of the old man, then hurriedly left.

However, as she stepped onto the path back to Bi Luo Pavilion, she saw Bei Xier and a young man walking out together from Wangyue Pavilion afar.

Bei Zicheng… Seeing that man, Baili Xia couldn’t help but lightly furrow her pretty eyebrows.

Why is he with Xi’er? It looks like they planned to go out together, which seems a bit unusual.

As far as I know, Bei Zicheng didn’t originally know Bei Xier.

If they had met before, it would have only been at last night’s banquet.

How could two people who met just last night become this familiar?

Moreover, they were laughing and talking, which was so unlike Bei Zicheng’s style.

Bei Xier might not understand Bei Zicheng, but she knew well enough.

To achieve his goals, he would think of any possible strategy.

This time he approached Bei Xier, but for what? Is he planning something bad again?

She absolutely couldn’t let him succeed!

With this thought, Baili Xia instinctively wanted to follow them to see what was happening.

But, after taking two steps, she stopped.

If she just went over, what should she say?

Should she directly tell Bei Xier how bad Bei Zicheng is, and advise her not to follow him?

It seemed inappropriate.

Baili Xia shook her head vigorously, hesitated for a moment, and then decisively returned to Bi Luo Pavilion.

This matter cannot be told to the Old Madam, nor can it be left alone, so she could only find Wu Ming.

As long as he was there, he would definitely come up with a good solution for her.

Even if he couldn’t think of anything, taking him to find them would ensure Xi’er’s safe return.

For some reason, Baili Xia trusted that guy who always opposed her.

But when she got back to Bi Luo Pavilion, she looked everywhere but couldn’t find any trace of Wu Ming.

What to do?
