The heavy atmosphere spread in this small space. Bai Xianyu subconsciously repeated Xie Xingyun’s words in her heart.
Her expression was as calm as possible. “Is this the thank-you gift you need?”
“Yeah.”
“Don’t you feel that it’s a loss?”
“I don’t.”
“You know I’m gonna say no, right?”
Xie Xingyun did not look dispirited at all. He smiled and said, “1 know.”
Refusal… was reasonable.
But he did not want to force her.
He could not force her either.
“I just need a chance to stand at the same starting point as others.” The man’s voice came out clearly, sounding especially loud and clear in the front hall.
His answer was straightforward. If Bai Xianyu said anything else, it would seem a little pretentious.
In short, so what if she agreed to him now?
It was just an opportunity to pursue her. The initiative was still in her hands.
If she did not nod, he could not do anything.
“Whatever.”
The smile on Xie Xingyun’s lips deepened.
Bai Xianyu added silently, “This is a thank-you gift that you’ve requested. From now on, all your kindness and misunderstandings have all been cleared.”
“Yes.” Xie Xingyun agreed and spoke much more gently. He raised his eyebrows and said, “Cleared away.”
Bai Xianyu did not want to dwell on this issue, so she picked another robe from the pile. “This piece is fine too.”
Xie Xingyun readily “accepted” her words. “I’ll take it.”
Bai Xianyu still wanted to make a recommendation. He was a very picky customer in Aunt Sheng’s words. Now that Xie Xingyun was so quick, she felt a little puzzled.
Xie Xingyun had been following behind her. When he saw her turn around, the two of them almost collided.
Bai Xianyu took a step back and asked suspiciously, “Did you deliberately come to wait for me today?”
She was not a narcissistic person, but Xie Xingyun’s demeanor really made her think too much.
Why did Xie Xingyun appear the moment she arrived? Shouldn’t he be recuperating from his injuries now?
Moreover, Xie Xingyun was not someone who would be conflicted about what to wear.
Usually, he would pick clothes that were pleasing to the eye. With his foundation, he would not look ugly no matter how he wore his clothes.
He had stayed in the fabric shop for an hour today and was still picking and choosing. It was only when she appeared that he relented.
It was hard not to be suspicious.
Seeing that the matter had been exposed, Xie Xingyun’s lacquered eyes paused for a moment. He turned his head and said, “You are avoiding me like this, how can 1 see you if I don’t use some tricks?”
Bai Xianyu,”…”
“You’re quite frank.”
“In the face of the person i love, I don’t dare not be frank.”
Although Bai Xianyu had as many admirers as carp crossing the river, it was rare for someone to express their love so bluntly.
The first time, Xie Xingyun was more reserved than the last few times. He only threw flowers to her on the street.
The second time was at Buddha Temple. It was the first time he said “love” to her.
Today, this was already the third time.
Bai Xianyu had even gotten a little used to it in her heart.
She frowned. ‘This doesn’t bode well.’
It had only been a few months since her rebirth, but the past was slowly fading away. Sometimes, Bai Xianyu even wondered if what happened in her previous life was a dream.
Or could it be that this was a dream? After waking up from the dream, the people in the General’s Manor still could not be saved. Xie Xingyun was still the Regent who had just started assisting the Emperor.
When she woke up, her dream was all for naught.
“What are you thinking about?”
Bai Xianyu’s thoughts returned and she said faintly, “Nothing.”
Xie Xingyun now clearly knew what kind of harm he had caused her in the past.
He could even empathize with the Bai Xianyu of the past. With just one expression, he knew what she was thinking.
There was no point in saying more.
He would make her feel it in the days to come.
He wanted her to come back to him willingly.
In the end, Xie Xingyun took away all the clothes that matched his size. Aunt Sheng was very happy. To be able to sell so much, she had also contributed some effort.
She quickly served Bai Xianyu tea and water. “Miss, you’re really eloquent. i tried to persuade that young master for a long time, but I couldn’t convince him. You immediately turned it into such a big deal. You’re really amazing.”
After Bai Xianyu asked if her stomach was fine, she said, “Aunt Sheng, i’ll have to trouble you to use the drawing I gave you that day to make more clothes.”
Supervisor Sheng asked in confusion, “Miss, if the drawing you gave me last time was according to your standards, the cost will be a little high. If they can’t be sold, it would be a waste of such good materials..”
