At first, Shang Muxia had subconsciously wanted to retreat, but in the end, she did not avoid her and accepted her touch. Neither of them spoke. Just as Bai Ye was about to turn around and take care of the matters, Shang Muxia suddenly called out to him.
"What's wrong?"
When she said the name Lin Zhiqian, her heart was exceptionally calm, and even a little disgusted. She didn't know if it was because of her change of heart, or if she had really let go of her previous feelings.
Faced with his question, Shang Muxia was in a difficult position. Thinking back to the harsh words Lin Zhiqian had said to her in the alley that day, she didn't know how to say it.
After a long silence, she threw aside the difficult part and only said the most important part. "I asked him before. Although he didn't answer directly, he seems to agree."
When she told him the news she had received from Lin Zhiqian, Bai Ye felt extremely happy. With happiness in his eyes, he probed: "Does that mean you're on my side?"
It was only then that Shang Muxia realized that something was wrong, and she was slightly stunned. In the face of his sudden question, he was also stunned in the face of his own heart. This time, she also hesitated for a long time, but in the end, she didn't say anything.
Seeing her lower her eyes as if she was avoiding the question, Bai Ye decided not to press her any further. After all, it was not suitable for her to interfere in this matter. Therefore, Bai Ye lowered her hand and said slowly: "Lin Zhiqian has a hard time escaping this matter, but the mastermind may not necessarily be him, or perhaps it's more than just him."
That being said, did he already know that the matter of the Bai Enterprise was related to Lin Zhiqian?
"You don't have to worry about these things. You just have to stay here. Tell me anything you need or don't feel well, or tell the servants at home. I will take care of the company as soon as possible, so you don't have to worry. "
Worry? Remembering how often she had been lost in thought in the gallery, she seemed genuinely worried about him. Withdrawing her thoughts, she felt a bit of warmth in her heart towards Bai Ye's caring instructions. Just now he was talking about the domestic servant. Was he saying that she was now his family? Or was it just because she was his surrogate mother? Family...
"I'll head back to the company first. Don't go out alone, if there's anything, just let Sun Yong follow. Otherwise, Lin Zhiqian will find a chance to hurt you again. " Bai Ye interrupted Shang Muxia's thoughts and explained in detail.
"Alright."
Shang Muxia looked at him, then watched him leave until his figure disappeared from her line of sight. But there was still the shadow of the night in her eyes, and she did seem to feel something for this man.
She looked away and sat down on the soft bed and looked around the room again. Exquisite, warm. She took a deep breath, and the smell of him lingered. Unconsciously, the corner of her lips revealed a trace of a smile.
… ….
On the other side of the road, the traffic was flowing like water. Liu Yunfei was sitting in a red Bentley with both hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, the hatred in her eyes spreading to the surroundings.
She thought, for Bai Ye to drive out to pick up Shang Muxia, to not come out after entering the Bai Family for so long, could it be that Shang Muxia had already settled in the Bai family villa? Liu Yunfei knew in her heart that once Shang Muxia entered the Bai Clan, it would be difficult for her to find him. Originally, she had planned to go to the Gallery to stop Shang Muxia and start with her to let her take the initiative to leave White Night. However, she didn't expect Bai Ye to take her away first. Not only did she fail to achieve her goal, she was also threatened by Qi Yunjia. How could she swallow this down?
When he thought that her plans were going to collapse and Shang Muxia and Bai Ye were going to stay together under the same roof, Liu Yunfei felt very upset. This undoubtedly deepened her hatred for Shang Muxia by a few degrees.
His train of thought was interrupted by the shrill sound of a horn coming from the car in front of her. Liu Yunfei opened the car window and peeked her head out just as she was about to curse, she saw a black Koenigsegg in front of her. In order to make her judgement more ready, she took a closer look at the license plate, it was Bai Ye. Coincidentally, in the car, there was only that familiar figure on the main driving, and no Shang Muxia.
was ecstatic. Since Bai Ye wasn't by her side, it wouldn't be that difficult for him to invite her out to meet him. Thinking about that, Liu Yunfei took out her phone and immediately dialed a number for Shang Muxia.
Shang Muxia, who received the call, looked at the string of numbers in shock. She didn't have many friends, and they all had their names in the contact list. And this wasn't the official harassment number. Who was it?
With doubts in her heart, she answered the phone, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"
"Liu Yunfei." She interrupted Shang Muxia and arrogantly said her name.
This made Shang Muxia even more surprised, what was she trying to do by phone? There didn't seem to be anything to doubt. Liu Yunfei was the true fiancee of Bai Ye, and she was only the surrogate mother of his child. When the White Liu Family gets married, they will have a lot of children. What would Shang Muxia count as?
As he thought to this point, Shang Muxia actually felt somewhat defeated. Even talking to her had lost most of her confidence, "You called …. What's the matter? "
Seeing that she had lowered her tone, Liu Yunfei became even more arrogant, "You're already living in the Bai Family, why, as the future daughter-in-law of the Bai Family, shouldn't I give you a call to ask if you're comfortable staying here?"
In fact, speaking of the name of the Bai Family's daughter-in-law, Liu Yunfei felt uncomfortable thinking about how Bai Ye had never admitted her identity. But so what? After all, the white mother approved of her. The marriage between two families was good for both of them. It was just that Liu Yunfei blamed all these problems on Shang Muxia, and it was not because of Shang Muxia's appearance, which confused Bai Ye. She knew that Bai Ye would not treat her like this. As long as Shang Muxia was not around, Bai Ye would definitely be moved by her and would eventually accept her.
Shang Muxia answered the phone, her eyes lightly drooping, without making a sound.
"Come out and see you. 5 o'clock this afternoon, Western Restaurant Helen of New City Road. " Obviously, this was not an invitation. Liu Yunfei did not give her any chance to reject.
Was she seeing her? Shang Muxia fell into deep thought. Should she go see her or should she? What sort of status should she have? Liu Yunfei was the one whom the Bai Family Mistress had recognized as her daughter-in-law. She was only staying at the Bai Family for a short period of time. For a moment, Shang Muxia felt that she was under the suspicion of being a third party.
