Chapter 1389: Chapter 1388: Everyone Grows Up Eventually

Just a bit too young...

After Mrs. Mi spoke, she glanced at Hou Baiyu intentionally or unintentionally, seeing that he remained silent. But she refused to give up and asked, "Don’t you think so?"

Hou Baiyu calmly put down the glass, casually saying, "They will eventually grow up."

Mrs. Mi paused for a moment, watching him in some surprise. The eldest son of the Mi Family, the future heir, actually said such words.

"Are you planning to... groom them?"

Hou Baiyu’s body paused, turned his gaze toward Mrs. Mi, "Aunt, you should reduce watching things related to young people." When lowering his eyes, the color of his pupils deepened.

To groom them...

Mrs. Mi covered her mouth and chuckled, "I am just keeping up with the times."

After her chuckle, Mrs. Mi restrained her smile, "The Bei Family has already collapsed. Does the family allow you, as the heir, to marry as you please?"

It was not a question but a reminder.

The warmth in Hou Baiyu’s eyes visibly diminished.

"Being this heir is not something I must do. You know, compared to being some heir, I prefer freedom."

He paused for a moment, his lips hinting at a mocking smile.

"If I can’t even be my own master, then I might as well be a carefree wanderer."

Mrs. Mi’s expression slightly changed.

The two children of the Bei Family, what kind of power do they possess to make everyone so enthralled!

Especially the eldest son, speaking such words, was something she had never witnessed.

But...

Due to his decisive nature, the family, even by force, wanted him to become the heir.

Mrs. Mi chuckled inwardly, knowing the leverage to force him is naturally just this child, Baobao Sen. To become the heir is the only way to safeguard Baobao Sen, so he would willingly agree.

Both brothers, yet both are deeply attached to those two girls. The feelings may differ, but the tenacity remains.

"Did you come here worried I would trouble them?" Mrs. Mi spoke with a slightly sarcastic tone.

Hou Baiyu did not deny it; he was indeed worried his aunt would trouble Luo Yixuan and others, especially considering this aunt was notoriously difficult to deal with.

Before Hou Baiyu could say anything, Mrs. Mi laughed, "Not only hasn’t the character been drawn, but the other strokes haven’t even started, and you’re already siding with others. If you’re worried about this, you can ease your mind. That Madam Bei is not as gentle as she appears."

Mrs. Mi’s sharp eyes were accurate in assessing people. Beisitian looked easy-going but was actually entirely different.

"If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving." Hou Baiyu stood up.

Mrs. Mi watched his tall and cold back. If she could warm this child’s heart, she wouldn’t oppose him being with that girl at all.

But which one does he like?

A subtle smile appeared on Mrs. Mi’s lips as she looked out the window.

She hoped the emergence of the Bei Family descendants could bring new hope to the two families burdened with disasters. She wished the prophecy was true, so the Mi Family wouldn’t have to remain hidden forever.

"Aunt~" Baobao Sen came downstairs in a new outfit, snuggling into Mrs. Mi’s arms.

Mrs. Mi embraced Baobao Sen lovingly. Ever since the brothers’ parents passed away, this child only showed this side of him before her. Now he also showed this side before those two little girls, which gave Mrs. Mi a bit of comfort.

The more a child grows, the more thoughts they have. Such isolation is not good for his mental and physical growth.
