Chapter 370: Who Is It That Can't Forget 03_1

Dongfang Ji stared intensely at Baili Xia’s face.

Baili Xia, however, had already stood up, giving him a casual smile.

“I really need to go back now.

Being with you will bring disaster, so you’d better keep your distance from me.”

If he has a grudge with Brother, she shouldn’t get too close to him.

If this causes a misunderstand with Brother, she would be the one to suffer.

Brother’s temper is, indeed, difficult to handle.

“By the way, I was not the only one who saved you that day.”

She paused before continuing, “It was Ziying who pulled me to save you.

She’s the one who deserves the most credit.”

Whatever was going on between Dongfang Ji and Mu Ziying, it was their own business.

She was just telling the truth, she didn’t like taking undue credit.

Before Dongfang Ji could respond, she had already begun heading for the pavilion’s exit.

As she stepped out of the pavilion, however, his voice came from behind her, neither light nor heavy: “I believe you.”

Baili Xia paused in her step, her heart souring in an instant.

Had she heard that right?

This man, with whom she had no relationship, actually said he believed her!

What about Jin?

Jin had been with her for two years yet hadn’t given her a single chance to explain herself.

Was Dongfang Ji mocking her?

If he was mocking her, wasn’t that a bit cruel?

“I believe you.

I don’t think you’re that malicious.”

Dongfang Ji trailed behind her, staring at her delicate silhouette, waiting a while before speaking again.

“If I give you a chance to explain to him in person…”

“No need.” Baili Xia raised her head to gaze at the distant azure sky.

She smiled at the floating clouds, a smile both helpless yet somewhat relieved.

“Someone’s willing to believe in me, and I’m really happy about that.

Thank you.”

“As for your older brother, I’ve tried explaining before, but you should know that he’s a very stubborn man too; if he’s made up his mind, it’s almost impossible to change it.”

“You could try harder.” Dongfang Ji’s voice sounded slightly anxious.

This girl was better than he had imagined; at least, she was far better than that deceitful woman, Lu Xuening.

If possible, he didn’t want her and his brother to have any misunderstandings.

If Lu Xuening was really deceiving his brother, then that woman was indeed despicable.

Why didn’t his brother trust Baili Xia?

From what he knew of his brother, he wasn’t usually this stubborn.

Was there something unknown, something even Baili Xia herself did not know?

“I truly can help you, arrange an opportunity for you to meet with my brother alone.” He said again.

Baili Xia took a deep breath, turning slowly to look at him.

“I’ve had a few chances like that.

To be honest, I even had dinner alone with your brother just a few days ago.”

“Then why didn’t you explain?” He genuinely did not understand.

Baili Xia just laughed: “No matter how many times I explain, it’s all the same.

He doesn’t believe me.”

Having said this, she turned and left.

Watching her retreating figure, Dongfang Ji didn’t attempt to stop her this time.

He had clearly seen the helplessness and sadness in her eyes, and he felt a twinge of regret.

Still, he couldn’t understand why his brother wouldn’t believe Baili Xia.

Didn’t he realize that he was drunk that night and he might have mistaken the person?

Even if everyone else is pointing out that Lu Xuening was the one who saved him, why couldn’t he trust his own judgment?

He always felt there was a hidden secret to this whole thing, his brother wasn’t normally such an unreasonable man.

What was the reason, then?
