Chapter 719: Reluctance a bit of reluctance_1

Ning Anran might have understood Baili Xia’s concerns.

However, emotions are something not even one can control.

How much can others interfere?

“I like him, but I never thought about being with him.”

She continued to hold Baili Xia’s hand, her smile bitter.

“Xiaxia, do you understand?

Who doesn’t like a man like Mr.

Xiaojiu?

But, who can truly have him?”

“I do like him, I just can’t help but idolize him because he’s so outstanding.”

“But there’s a kind of liking, called ‘happy to adore from afar’.

I’ll keep it in check, unless…”

Unless Mr.

Xiaojiu could fall for her too.

But she left those words unsaid.

Some things are better left unsaid, as others wouldn’t understand anyway.

“I’m not blaming you.” Baili Xia laughed lightly, giving her hand a comforting pat.

“I understand how you feel, I know there are many girls who like Uncle. It’s not strange that you like him.”

She just didn’t want her to bear her feelings for Uncle too heavily.

Stifling her emotions will only bring her greater pain, unless Uncle liked her back.

“So… we’re still friends, right?” Ning Anran looked at her face, asking tentatively.

“We just had a fight, what’s all this about?”

Baili Xia shook off her hand, her smile was more relaxed this time.

“I should go now, Brother won’t wait for me if I’m late.”

“Are you really getting engaged to Mu?”

As she saw her out, Ning Anran couldn’t help but ask.

“I…

I didn’t mean to pry, it’s just that I overheard the servants talking about it.”

“I don’t know.” She really didn’t know, who knew these things.

It was those men who were making all the decisions, nobody cared about her wishes.

“I’m leaving now for real, if he doesn’t wait for me, I’ll have to take the bus.”

…

Upon leaving the Sihai Residence, before she could even reach the main house, Baili Xia had already sensed something amiss in the front courtyard.

Moving forward, she saw Mu Ziqing hiding behind the flower bushes, staring intently at the courtyard of the main house.

“Ziqing, what are you doing hiding here?”

Baili Xia walked over and looked in the direction she was gazing.

Just as she had expected, in this family, besides Uncle, there was only one other person who could capture her attention.

Bei Tianyou, he and the old master were standing in front of the main house, it seemed…

they were about to leave?

For some reason, a sudden sense of loss tugged at her heart.

An inexplicable feeling of reluctance.

It was strange to feel this way for someone she wasn’t close to.

Why was it so?

“What are you doing suddenly appearing here, you scared me to death!”

Mu Ziqing placed a hand on her chest, shooting her a reproachful look.

Have you ever heard the phrase ‘scare someone to death’?

Baili Xia just laughed, not saying anything.

This international superstar, who seemed a bit difficult to get along with in the beginning.

After getting to know her longer, it turned out she wasn’t so bad, aside from being a bit proud and conceited.

Looking forward again, she suddenly frowned, “… Shengxue?”

She didn’t know if Shengxue was really that sensitive, but Baili Xia was so far away from her.

She just lightly called out to her and like as if it heard her, the horse swished its tail .

It turned around and suddenly rushed towards her.

With Shengxue’s commotion, all eyes in the courtyard turned their attention to them.
