Chapter 633: Chapter 633 Wangji

Bai Wei felt a wave of emotion and finally glanced at Bai Yueru, then turned to Mu Lingyun, “You two come back with me!”

Mu Lingyun had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Bai Yueru slightly frowned, as if pondering something.

Seeing Bai Wei turn and walk back, Mu Lingyun looked at Bai Yueru, smiled, and then followed Bai Wei.

Upon witnessing this, Bai Yueru also followed.

“Father!” Bai Qingsi, noticing something off about Bai Wei’s attitude towards Mu Lingyun, called out subconsciously when he passed her.

Bai Wei gave Bai Qingsi a glance, his voice very calm, “Let’s talk when we’re back.”

Bai Qingsi frowned and glared fiercely at Bai Yueru and Mu Lingyun. In the end, she could only follow Bai Wei back to the manor.

Before long, they returned to Luoyang Manor.

Bai Wei instructed Mu Lingyun to follow him into the study.

Bai Yueru stood not far away, watching the two enter the study.

Bai Qingsi hurried after them, wanting to enter the study as well.

But she was stopped by Bai Wei’s eldest disciple.

“Junior Sister Qingsi, the master said that only Miss Mu should follow him in. You should wait,” the eldest disciple spoke.

Bai Qingsi felt annoyed but dared not make a scene.

After all, the manor’s eldest disciple was someone her father relied on heavily.

Even as the daughter of the manor lord, she was no match.

She returned to Gu Yubai’s side and spoke with displeasure, “I don’t know what’s gotten into father, why he hasn’t punished this person yet.”

Gu Yubai glanced at Bai Yueru, who stood erect nearby, his eyes also filled with doubt.

“Perhaps, at this moment, the manor lord is reprimanding that woman,” Gu Yubai said to comfort Bai Qingsi.

Bai Qingsi frowned, “I hope so!”

Although she hoped this was the case, Bai Qingsi felt that it was almost impossible.

–

Inside the study, there was indeed no reprimanding.

Bai Wei sat by the window sill, at the eastern side, with Mu Lingyun facing him.

Between them, there was a small table.

On the table, there was a pot of tea and a plate of pastries.

Bai Wei looked at Mu Lingyun, his expression gentle and his eyes full of affection.

He poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Mu Lingyun, then moved the pastries closer to her.

“Have some tea first. These pastries aren’t bad either, give them a try!”

Mu Lingyun’s mouth curved into a faint smile, and indeed, she took a sip of tea.

After putting down the tea cup, she picked up a pastry, took a bite, and casually remarked, “Not bad.”

“If you like them, eat more,” Bai Wei paused before asking further, “The reports we’ve received from our people indicate that you’ve been living in a Taoist temple these past years. How did you end up here?”

Mu Lingyun leisurely finished the pastry and took another sip of tea before speaking slowly, “Mu Yi took me back, but the intention was to send me into a marriage alliance. On the way to the marriage, we encountered assassins while traveling by boat on the Luo River to Wangji. After falling into the water, I drifted with the current and ended up here.”

Mu Lingyun recounted the events lightly.

Yet, Bai Wei listened with a heart full of turmoil.

He hurriedly asked, “Are you alright? Are you injured? Do you feel any discomfort?”

Mu Lingyun shook her head, “I’m fine, quite all right.”

Bai Wei looked Mu Lingyun up and down and, not finding any apparent signs of injury, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“You and Mu Yi…” Bai Wei gazed at Mu Lingyun, asking with some confusion.
