Chapter 819: If You Feel Wronged Tell Me

Meeting Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze, Baili Xia felt a bit guilty.

Brother knew about her and Uncle’s matter, she couldn’t hide it from him.

But with so many people here, how could she possibly discuss such a thing?

Mu Xiaoyao merely glanced at her, something fleeting in the depths of his eyes.

Seeing her eyes flit about uncertainly, it was clear she felt guilty.

Suddenly, he grabbed her hand and strode forward.

“Brother, where are we going?” Baili Xia jumped, they were moving so fast they immediately left Mu Ziying and the others behind.

“Didn’t you want to eat lobsters? That stall looks fresher, I’ll take you there.”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t stop at all, still hurrying forward while holding her hand.

Baili Xia could only look back, not daring to look at Mu Xiaojiu, only toward Mu Ziying, waving at her.

Mu Ziying waved back, signaling them to go ahead, as long as they brought back the ingredients.

Only then did Baili Xia feel relieved and followed Mu Xiaoyao’s steps.

Not knowing where he was actually taking her, she could only bite her lip and stay silent.

Even if he asked her, she had nothing to say.

What was there to talk about in such a matter?

But this time, Mu Xiaoyao surprised her.

He really brought her to a large seafood stall, not asking her any superfluous questions.

“Don’t you want to buy seafood? This place is big enough, just choose.”

Baili Xia continued biting her lip, but when she looked up at him, her nose felt a bit sore.

Actually, Brother knew everything, but he didn’t pry at all, just not wanting to make things difficult for her.

Was it because he didn’t want Mu Ziying to have the chance to ask more that he brought her here to save her from the predicament?

Brother, when did you become so attentive and considerate?

“What’s the matter, not buying?” Mu Xiaoyao raised an eyebrow.

Perhaps even he didn’t know why he cared about her mood.

He was merely ordered to protect her, but her mood, good or bad, had nothing to do with him.

Yet, seeing the redness in her eyes, full of worries just now, he suddenly didn’t want to see her struggle any more.

“I’ll buy.” Baili Xia nodded firmly and when she looked at him again, there was a smile in her eyes, “Thank you, Brother.”

After speaking, she said no more, squatting down to carefully pick out the lobsters.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t say anything, just watched her with his eyes lowered.

The genuine smile in her eyes earlier, how could she be so strong?

She had been wronged at Uncle’s just before, even crying her eyes red, but now, she could already smile sincerely.

No matter how bad her mood was, she could make herself optimistic.

Such resilience, even he might not be able to achieve.

What kind of environment had she survived in to forge such a strong character?

But then again, after going through so much, if one weren’t strong enough, they would have lost hope and died by suicide long ago.

The thought of that delicate body slashed by a cold blade, becoming a lifeless corpse, his heart inexplicably tightened again.

His tall frame could no longer contain itself, and he squatted down beside her.

His large hand came down to grasp her small, outstretched hand.

His voice was very light, but each word made its way into her ear.

“From now on, if you feel wronged, tell me, I’ll help you.”

The next second, he had released her hand.

He stood up, still beside her, watching her select seafood.

Baili Xia was a bit stunned, looking up at him blankly.

Brother said, if there are grievances…to tell him.
