Chapter 159 How is my brother?
Bai Luo and Grandpa Bai were on completely opposite sides. Thinking about the personalities of the grandfather and grandson, Mu Xiaoyu found it amusing.
In fact, she hadn't taken Grandpa Bai's words about matching her with Bai Ye to heart at all, so when she heard Bai Luo's words, she naturally didn't think much of it.
In just half a day, Mu Xiaoyu learned a great deal from the Bai family. Although she still appeared cheerful and smiling on the surface, her heart was in turmoil.
So after chatting with Bai Luo for a while, I decided to leave.
Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu was about to leave, Bai Luo immediately felt reluctant to let her go. She quickly took Mu Xiaoyu's arm, and said in a coquettish tone, "Sister Xiaoyu, it's your first time visiting my house, why don't you have dinner before you leave?"
Bai Luo is really cute, and her lively personality makes her very likable. Mu Xiaoyu really couldn't bear to refuse and was about to agree when the phone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone and saw that the person calling her was none other than Li Chenxu.
It was only then that Mu Xiaoyu realized that almost four hours had passed since she arrived at the Bai family's residence.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't hesitate and immediately answered Li Chenxu's call.
"Are they coming back?"
Li Chenxu's gentle and deep voice echoed in Mu Xiaoyu's ears, as if it carried some unknown magic, instantly making Mu Xiaoyu's originally heavy heart feel a little lighter.
She gave a soft "hmm," then suddenly remembered Bai Luo's request and quickly added, "Luo Luo asked me to stay for dinner, so I might... go back a little later."
Upon hearing this, Li Chenxu on the other end of the phone fell silent. It was unclear whether he was unhappy or for some other reason. After a while, he sighed softly with a hint of pitifulness and said, "It seems that I will have to eat alone at home tonight."
Li Chenxu didn't use a forceful approach to get Mu Xiaoyu back. Instead, he made such a pitiful appearance, which instantly softened Mu Xiaoyu's heart.
She hesitated, glancing at Bai Luo beside her, then listened to Li Chenxu's pitiful voice on the other end of the phone. Finally, she relented and whispered to Li Chenxu, "Then I'll try to come back as soon as possible..."
"Then I'll wait for you to come back before we eat..."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xiaoyu looked at Bai Luo with a hint of guilt and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Luo Luo, I'm afraid I can't stay for dinner tonight... I'll come over next time, okay?"
Fortunately, Bai Luo wasn't one to make trouble unnecessarily. Besides, she was well aware that this matter might be very serious for Mu Xiaoyu. Mu Xiaoyu had suddenly received such news, and she needed some time to process it herself. So when she heard Mu Xiaoyu's words, Bai Luo just pouted with some regret and didn't force Mu Xiaoyu to stay.
When Mu Xiaoyu left, Grandpa Bai was sleeping and resting, so Mu Xiaoyu didn't disturb him. She told Bai Luo what happened and then left.
Bai Luo picked her up when she arrived, and naturally, Bai Luo also saw her off when she left. However, the two of them had just stepped out the door when they bumped into Bai Ye, who had just returned.
She ran into Bai Ye when she arrived, and then she ran into him again when she left. It's hard to say whether Mu Xiaoyu is lucky or unlucky. In fact, the coincidences are too much. Even Bai Luo thought it was a coincidence.
Mu Xiaoyu and Bai Ye hadn't even exchanged a single word. When they saw Bai Ye, Mu Xiaoyu simply greeted him politely before getting into the car with Bai Luo.
However, Bai Ye seemed to have something to say to Bai Luo. Just as Bai Luo was about to get into the car, Bai Ye suddenly called out to her, and the two siblings talked outside. It's unclear what Bai Ye said to Bai Luo, but Bai Luo's expression became noticeably strange.
On several occasions, he even glanced in Mu Xiaoyu's direction several times.
Almost ten minutes had passed by the time the two finished talking. Before entering the villa, Bai Ye even glanced into the car, it was unclear who he was looking at.
However, Mu Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to any of this. After all, among the entire Bai family, Bai Luo was the only person she could really interact with. Moreover, she considered Bai Luo a true friend, so no matter what the Bai family's background was, those weren't things she cared about. She only needed to focus on her relationship with Bai Luo.
"Sister Xiaoyu..."
After Bai Luo got into the car, he was noticeably different from before. He looked at Mu Xiaoyu with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but didn't want to, which made Mu Xiaoyu a little anxious.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but chuckle: "Just say what you have to say."
"Um... Sister Xiaoyu, what do you think of my older brother...?"
It took Bai Luo a while to stammer out her words, and as soon as she said it, a bad feeling immediately washed over Mu Xiaoyu.
She glanced at Bai Luo with some hesitation, then, fearing she might be overthinking things, hesitated for a few seconds before saying honestly, "Your older brother is quite good. After all, very few people his age can reach his level... and he's also very handsome. He's a very outstanding man..."
Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Bai Luo's eyes immediately lit up. Mu Xiaoyu had initially thought she was going to say something more, but to her surprise, Bai Luo didn't continue and instead changed the subject, talking about other things.
Although Mu Xiaoyu felt a little strange, she wasn't very interested and didn't ask any further questions.
The car soon returned to the villa. Mu Xiaoyu forgot to send a message to Li Chenxu when she got back, but as soon as the car stopped outside the villa, the gate opened and Li Chenxu, dressed in his pajamas, walked out.
He didn't have a clear expression when he came out, but when he saw Mu Xiaoyu get out of the car, his originally cold eyes softened instantly.
He strode over to Mu Xiaoyu, put his arm around her, and said to Bai Luo, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Bai. If you have time, please come in for a cup of tea?"
"No, no, I need to go home for dinner, so I won't bother you any longer. See you next time, Sister Xiaoyu!"
Bai Luo was clearly afraid of Li Chenxu. After saying this, without waiting for Mu Xiaoyu's reply, she quickly got into the car. Her hurried appearance made Mu Xiaoyu instantly chuckle.
"Look at you, every time you open your mouth you scare people like this."
