Chapter 158 Old Master Bai's Regret

"Excuse me."

Mu Xiaoyu looked at Old Master Bai with some confusion. She couldn't understand what Old Master Bai could ask her. After all, with his status, he could find out anything with a little investigation. Why would he need to ask her?

However, she didn't say it aloud. Since Old Master Bai had asked, he must have his reasons.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyu nod, Old Master Bai no longer hesitated and asked directly, "What do you think of that boy from the Li family? Do you... like him?"

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Bai would ask such a question, and so directly at that. Mu Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then a faint blush appeared on her face. She didn't know what Grandpa Bai wanted to do by asking this, but she now understood her feelings for Li Chenxu. Since she liked him, there was no need to hide it anymore, so when she heard Grandpa Bai say this, she immediately nodded.

"Actually, I didn't like him before... but Brother Shenxu is very good to me, and now I like him very much."

As soon as Mu Xiaoyu finished speaking, she heard Old Master Bai sigh regretfully. He shook his head helplessly, glanced at Mu Xiaoyu again, and sighed once more, leaving Mu Xiaoyu filled with confusion.

"It seems my son and you two are really not meant to be."

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately understood what Old Master Bai meant; it seemed he wanted to pair her up with Bai Ye. Mu Xiaoyu was both amused and exasperated.

She looked at Old Master Bai with a helpless expression and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Bai, let's not even talk about the fact that Shen Xu and I are already married and I'm a married man. Just the fact that I've never had any contact with you, Mr. Bai, makes it impossible for us to get together. Besides... Mr. Bai might not even be interested in me..."

In order not to embarrass Old Master Bai, Mu Xiaoyu deliberately said the last sentence.

Who knew that her words would backfire? Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, Grandpa Bai's eyebrows furrowed and he immediately said, "How could he not like you! You're kind-hearted, talented, and so good-looking. How could my son not like you!"

"But no matter what, I am now Shen Xu's wife..."

Mu Xiaoyu didn't even know how to explain to Old Master Bai. After saying this, to avoid Old Master Bai continuing on this topic, Mu Xiaoyu quickly asked, "By the way, Mr. Bai, was the question you asked me related to my father's matter?"

Old Master Bai knew perfectly well that Mu Xiaoyu was deliberately changing the subject. Seeing this, he couldn't help but glare at her. But looking at Mu Xiaoyu's innocent eyes, he could only sigh heavily and say, "Girl, even if you like that boy from the Li family, you need to be more careful sometimes. Don't believe everything you hear. Do you know... who was the first to know that Mu Pengzheng wasn't dead? It was that boy from the Li family. Now, so many days have passed, has he mentioned Mu Pengzheng to you even once..."

"And also, back when you two got married... why did that boy from the Li family marry you..."

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoyu fell silent. Ever since she and Li Chenxu had gone through life and death together, no matter what happened, she would stand by Li Chenxu's side and believe in her.

After all, even two people who love each other in this world are not necessarily willing to sacrifice themselves for each other, unless they regard the other person as more important than themselves.

She could tell that Grandpa Bai and Bai Luo genuinely cared for her, and since there was no conflict of interest between them, they had no reason to lie to her. She also believed that what Grandpa Bai said was true.

But... could there be some misunderstanding?

Before the truth of the matter was fully clarified, Mu Xiaoyu still chose to believe Li Chenxu.

She felt that Li Chenxu wouldn't let her down...

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu looked up at Grandpa Bai, gave him a faint smile, and slowly said, "Thank you so much for today. If you hadn't told me all this, I probably wouldn't know... As for Chen Xu's matter, I will find out. I owe you and Luo Luo a favor this time. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, I will definitely do it. Thank you so much."

Mu Xiaoyu's tone was sincere, and her calm and gentle voice made her very likable.

Because of what happened before, Grandpa Bai already had a good impression of Mu Xiaoyu. If Mu Xiaoyu hadn't already married Li Chenxu, he would have insisted that his son marry Mu Xiaoyu.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's sincere gratitude, Grandpa Bai quickly waved his hand and said, "Alright, Luo Luo likes you so much. These things are just small favors, nothing to mention. From now on, we're family. There's no need to be so polite. If you need any help, just ask. Don't be shy, okay?"

Grandpa Bai's enthusiasm left Mu Xiaoyu speechless, so she had no choice but to agree.

Grandpa Bai was also getting on in years. Although his energy and spirit were better than that of the average elderly person, he couldn't hold on for long. So after talking with Mu Xiaoyu for a while, he went upstairs to rest.

As soon as he left, Bai Luo suddenly appeared out of nowhere. She quickly sat down next to Mu Xiaoyu, took Mu Xiaoyu's hand, and asked anxiously, "How is Sister Xiaoyu? Did my grandfather explain everything to you?"

Mu Xiaoyu nodded. Thinking of what Grandpa Bai had said earlier, she felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Bai Luo carefully observed Mu Xiaoyu's expression, and after thinking for a moment, couldn't help but say, "Sister Xiaoyu, although what my grandfather said is true, I can see that Mr. Li's feelings for you are real. You... you shouldn't let what my grandfather said cause any conflict with Mr. Li... My grandfather just wants you to be with my older brother..."

Mu Xiaoyu is the person Bai Luo admires. Although her older brother is indeed very outstanding, he always has a cold face and is not an easy person to get along with. In Bai Luo's opinion, if Mu Xiaoyu were with Bai Ye, he would definitely not be as happy as he was with Li Chenxu.

As a fan of Mu Xiaoyu, this was something Bai Luo absolutely did not want to see, which is why she was so hesitant when she called yesterday.
