Chapter 755 The Unexpected Question

Steady footsteps approached from afar.

An Xia tiptoed to take a look and immediately recognized the familiar figure.

Meanwhile, Aunt Liu suddenly grabbed her arm. "I can tell that Young Master Jingshu really likes you, Miss An. You should take good care of him. After Madam left, there's no one in this house to look after him..."

"Left?" Bai Jingshu's mother is still alive and not dead?

Aunt Liu seemed like she wanted to say more, but Bai Jingshu and the rest had already arrived nearby, so she didn't say anything further.

Only three of them came back.

Old Master Bai walked at the front, while Bai Jingshu and Bai Yunan followed behind. All three of them looked a bit serious.

As Bai Jingshu spotted An Xia waiting for him at the door from afar, the serious expression on his face instantly vanished, and he rushed up to her with a glint of excitement in his eyes. "It's so cold at night. You don't have to wait for me out here."

An Xia thought about telling the truth, that she was merely standing at the door for a while, not specifically waiting for Bai Jingshu.

However, as she observed his excited expression, coupled with Aunt Liu's words, the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

Old Master Bai walked slightly behind Bai Jingshu. When he saw the affectionate scene between the two at the door, he couldn't help but frown.

With a thud, he leaned on his cane and knocked it to the ground. "What are you both crowding at the door for?"

An Xia swiftly pulled Bai Jingshu to the side.

Old Master Bai snorted coldly, and Aunt Liu promptly approached him and asked, "Old Mr. Bai, do you want to have dinner now?"

"I've already had it. You don't have to fuss around. Yeqi is fine now, so you should rest early too." Old Master Bai was still very kind to Aunt Liu.

An Xia understood that after the conversation they had in the morning, Old Master Bai disliked her even more.

He didn't say anything more and went upstairs to rest. It seemed that he was tired today.

An Xia asked Bai Jingshu, "Did you really have dinner?"

Bai Jingshu nodded and asked, "Yeah, I did before coming back. What about you?"

Bai Yunan, the lonely guy standing beside them, couldn't stand it anymore. He cleared his throat and

said, "Can't you discuss whatever you have to say in your room? Do you have to block the doorway?"

For some reason, An Xia was not as afraid of Bai Yunan as before.

She smiled playfully and replied, "Okay, Yunan."

Bai Yunan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Bai Jingshu.

Bai Jingshu immediately took An Xia's hand and went upstairs.

As he watched the two figures disappear, Bai Yunan pressed his forehead with his hand. Then, as if remembering something, he took out his phone and checked for any new messages. A hint of confusion appeared on his face, and he silently put the phone back. Steady footsteps approached from afar.

An Xia tiptoed to take a look and immediately recognized the familiar figure.

Just then, Bai Jingshu returned after realizing he had left something in the car.

Seeing Bai Yunan still in the living room, he casually asked, "How come I haven't seen Qingyou around these past two days?"

Lu Qingyou was the granddaughter of the neighboring Lu family. The old men of the two families were close friends, so the relationship between the younger generations was naturally good. Lu Qingyou had been following Bai Jingshu and Bai Yunan since she was young, and Bai Jingshu treated her like a sister.

"She's interning and busy," Bai Yunan replied briefly.

"Oh?" Bai Jingshu sensed something unusual from Bai Yunan's brief response.

Swinging his car keys, Bai Jingshu circled Bai Yunan and continued, "Is she so busy that she doesn't even have time to come back on weekends?"

In the entire compound, everyone knew about the crush the granddaughter of the Lu family had on the eldest son of the Bai family.

Over the past few years, whenever Bai Yunan went on out-of-town missions, no matter how challenging the location, Lu Qingyou would make sure to visit him during her summer or winter vacations.

Although the two had quite an age gap, both families were open to the idea of them being together.

However, Bai Yunan stubbornly refused the marriage alliance between the two families.

Yet, it didn't deter Lu Qingyou, the persistent girl who never gave up on him.

Bai Yunan glanced at Bai Jingshu, who decided to add more teasing remarks, saying, "Could it be that she's got a boyfriend now?"

Seeing Bai Yunan's expression change, Bai Jingshu looked worried and continued, "Tsk, after all, Qingyou is young and attractive. Many lads have their eyes on her. Moreover, she's from the Lu family. Who knows how many people want to become their in-laws and climb up the ladder..."

Bai Yunan's face darkened with anger, but he quickly composed himself and coldly sneered at Bai Jingshu. "Mind your own business!"

After saying that, he walked straight past Bai Jingshu and headed upstairs.

Bai Jingshu inadvertently looked up and saw An Xia, leaning over the railing on the second floor, looking down.

Bai Jingshu was rendered speechless. Sure enough, my true brother never lets an opportunity go by without teasing me.

Although he only mentioned how young and attractive Lu Qingyou was and had no other intentions, it wasn't good for An Xia to hear him complimenting other girls.

An Xia gave him a sideways glance and said, "What are you staring at? Go get your stuff!"

Just than, Bai Jingshu raturnad aftar raalizing ha had laft somathing in tha car.

An Xia gava him a sidaways glanca and said, "What ara you staring at? Go gat your stuff!"

Bai Jingshu had no choice but to hurry to the car to get his belongings.

Meanwhile, Bai Yunan also reached the second floor and spotted An Xia still leaning on the railing. He walked over to her.

As An Xia noticed Bai Yunan coming up the stairs and turning the corner, she couldn't see him anymore. However, she heard footsteps beside her and guessed it was likely him.

When she turned her head, her guess was confirmed.

Quickly standing up straight and straightening her back, she greeted him, "Yunan."

Bai Yunan secretly pondered, Do I come across as too stern? Why does she always act like one of my soldiers, standing at attention every time she sees me?

He thought he was being approachable, but perhaps she still found him intimidating.

"Are you getting used to staying here?"

An Xia hurriedly replied, "Yeah, I'm doing fine."

Then, she bit her lip and added, "I have a question to ask you."

Without a smile, Bai Yunan looked down at her but gave off an approachable vibe.

He asked, "What is it?"

An Xia hesitated for a moment before finally voicing her question. "You don't seem to oppose me being with Bai Jingshu."

Seeing that Bai Yunan's expression remained unchanged, she continued, "I call you by name along with Bai Jingshu, and you never objected. When I came to the Bai Residence, you even helped me."

To her surprise, Bai Yunan straightforwardly admitted, "If Jingshu likes you, what's the point of me objecting?"

This response caught An Xia off guard.

Bai Yunan slid his hands into the pockets of his suit pants, his expression still unchanged. He seemed to want to say something but hesitated, holding back for some reason, and remained silent.

Curious, An Xia urged, "Yunan, just say what you want to say."

Seeing through his thoughts, Bai Yuning appeared somewhat uneasy. He covered his mouth with his hand, cleared his throat, and asked, "Is Su Ziyue doing well?"

At once, An Xia was completely dumbfounded.

This unexpected question momentarily caught her off guard.

However, she quickly composed herself, concealing the shocked expression on her face. After all, it was unusual for the serious Bai Yunan to initiate such a conversation. Since she happened to know the answer, she replied, "She's doing fine. Ziyue and Mr. Qin went on their honeymoon and came back shortly after because she got pregnant again."

"That's good," Bai Yunan replied expressionlessly.

As soon as he turned around, his expression darkened.

Damn it, Qin Muchen is having their second child, and here I am still all alone!

This is frustrating!
