Although there did not seem to be anyone around, they were still outside.

Xie Xingyun then carried her into the room.

After entering the room, Xie Xingyun leaned his head on her shoulder and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry.”

“What are you sorry for?”

Xie Xingyun did not say anything and just hugged her quietly.

Bai Xianyu wanted to push his hands away, but she could not help but cling onto his broad shoulders.

Xie Xingyun looked up, his heart filled with warmth because of her actions.

“Little Yu.”

Bai Xianyu paused. “Huh?”

“Do you…” Xie Xingyun frowned and said with uncertainty, “like me?”

Bai Xianyu did not know how to answer, and her eyelashes quickly fluttered.

There seemed to be a voice in her heart saying, “Hurry up and respond to him. You indeed like him.”

Bai Xianyu did not answer for a long time.

But the smile on Xie Xingyun’s lips became more and more obvious.

Bai Xianyu looked at the man’s smile and said, “I haven’t even said anything. Why are you so happy?”

“But you hesitated.” Xie Xingyun kissed her lips deeply.

He murmured in her ear, “You’re hesitating, Little Yu.”

“I’m in your heart.”

If it was in the past, she would have long pushed him away. Now, she was so compliant and even took the initiative to hug him. Didn’t this mean that she was moved?

An indescribable joy spread throughout her body. Xie Xingyun hugged her even tighter and smiled. “Promise me something?”

Bai Xianyu grabbed his shoulders tightly.

“After returning to the capital, will you let me go and propose?”

Bai Xianyu was stunned on the spot. “Marriage proposal?”

She had not even said that she liked him, and he was already going to propose marriage?

Xie Xingyun smiled. “Feelings can be nurtured. I can’t wait anymore.”

“Don’t.”

Bai Xianyu tried her best to move her hands away from his shoulders.

Xie Xingyun became braver. “It’s okay. I’ll come and ask every day.”

Bai Xianyu,”…”

After speaking to her, the man’s expression visibly improved. He even regained some of his laziness and casualness. “Rest well.”

The door was then closed.

Bai Xianyu finished bathing with a heavy heart and realized that there was a red dot on her chest. It was beautiful and red, complementing her fair skin and making her look even more charming.

At first, she thought it was blood, but when she touched it, she realized that it was not.

“… Strange, when did it grow out?”

There were no moles or spots on Bai Xianyu’s body. Now that there was one on her chest, she touched it curiously.

Bai Li arrived at the inn where Bai Jingyuan was staying and told him what had happened to Bai Xianyu.

“Let’s not talk about Xie Xingyun for now, but there was another important issue.”

Bai Jingyuan frowned and asked, “Since the Green Pearl and Little Yu had the same poison, if the Green Pearl’s can’t be reversed, how did Little Yu’s get reversed?”

Bai Li was stunned. Clearly, he did not notice this.

‘That’s right.’

He had asked almost all the renowned physicians in the city that day, but there was nothing they could do. Green Pearl had gotten better after sitting in cold water for a day and a night. Now, she was even having a fever!

Miss’s constitution was not as good as Green Pearl’s. If she had used other methods to reduce the heat, why would her face be so rosy the next day?

While he was recalling, Bai Jingyuan’s expression had already darkened. “Bring me to see Xie Xingyun!”

“Yes!”

Late at night, Bai Jingyuan took a carriage to the inn where Xie Xingyun was staying.

Xie Xingyun, who was resting on the couch, opened his eyes and looked out of the door.

Bai Jingyuan went upstairs and saw a young man standing in the corridor. He was wearing white pajamas and black boots. His eyebrows were relaxed, as if he was waiting for someone.

He narrowed his eyes. “You knew I’d come?”

Xie Xingyun said calmly, “I guessed it.”

“Did you help her?”

Xie Xingyun knew what he was talking about and nodded.

Bai Jingyuan took a step towards him.

Xie Xingyun added, “It hasn’t reached that stage yet.”

However, other than that step, there was no difference.

Bai Jingyuan slowly clenched his fists. Although he knew that Xie Xingyun could not be blamed for this, his fists itched at the thought of Little Yu having intimate contact with the man in front of him.

“Little Yu agreed?”

Xie Xingyun thought of Bai Xianyu’s appearance that night and nodded slightly.

Silence spread between the two of them.

Bai Jingyuan slowly closed his eyes, as if he was calming down. “What else do you have to say?”

Xie Xingyun paused for a few seconds and said solemnly, “I will go and propose.”

The next day.

Bai Xianyu arrived at Fortune Inn. Because the new plaque had yet to be repaired, the word “Fortune” was still on it.

As soon as she entered, she saw the owner of Fortune Inn arguing with a group of people. That group of people was blocking the door, and the leader, who was dressed luxuriously, had a disdainful expression.

“… I’ve already apologized. What else do you want?” The supervisor frowned. “I’ve been running the restaurant for so many years, and there have never been bugs in the food. Can I serve you the dishes again?”

The man smiled. “Tsk, do I care about your money? You’ve been running it for so many years and yet it is in this state. I’m Liu Jian, the son of the richest man in Jiangnan. Why don’t you sell it to me and go home for your retirement?”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Bai Xianyu frowned and covered herself with a veil. Then she put on her cone hat and thought for a moment before instructing Bai Li, “You sit in the carriage and cooperate with me when the time comes. It’s not convenient for me to reveal my identity.”

“Yes, Miss!”

She casually grabbed a handful of banknotes and put them in her pocket.

Just as the supervisor was being forced into a corner, a voice sounded from behind.

“—Buying a restaurant, you guys sure talk big.”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. A woman wrapped in gauze walked over.

Only a pair of slender hands were revealed from head to toe.

The knuckles of this pair of hands were beautiful and fair. Her thin skin was as fair as cream, and her fingertips were slightly red. It was obvious how beautiful a woman with such a pair of hands was.

Liu Jian smiled devilishly.. “Could the beauty be this old fellow’s daughter?”
