Chapter 1396 - 1395: Does It Have Anything to Do With You?

Chapter 1396: Chapter 1395: Does It Have Anything to Do With You?

Hou Baiyu heard someone calling his name, and with a calm glance, looked over to find it was this woman. He then withdrew his gaze.

Completely ignoring her made Nie Jiaqi feel embarrassed. If it were just the two of them, she naturally wouldn’t have minded. But just now, she clearly saw the tenderness in Hou Baiyu’s eyes, leaving her unable to stay calm.

"Who is this girl?" Nie Jiaqi asked Hou Baiyu coldly, glancing at Luo Yixuan.

Hou Baiyu was slightly surprised, "What does who she is have to do with you?"

"You..." Nie Jiaqi stared at Hou Baiyu in disbelief, the surprise on his face not feigned. Clearly, he truly believed it had nothing to do with her.

Indeed, Hou Baiyu, like her brother, was a favored child of Heaven, proud and with high aspirations. Her questioning must have made him feel disrespected, hence his reaction.

Understanding this, Nie Jiaqi took a deep breath to suppress her anger, quickly controlling her emotions, and lowered her eyes.

"Yes, Baiyu is right, whoever she is has nothing to do with us." Nie Jiaqi raised her eyes, now able to control her expression well. "Baiyu, my brother and I are touring the garden. Would you care to join us?"

Hou Baiyu’s gaze was indifferent, not even sparing a sidelong glance, not bothering to respond.

Nie Jiaqi’s anger began to rise again, but this time she wouldn’t be impulsive as before. She glanced at Luo Yixuan beside her, feeling as if her exquisite little face had become marred.

"Let’s go, Jiaqi, Baiyu has other matters, right?" Nie Kaihuan came over, smiling at Hou Baiyu.

Now Hou Baiyu was the heir of the Hou Family and could ignore Nie Jiaqi, but could not ignore Nie Kaihuan.

However, his acknowledgment to Nie Kaihuan was merely a glance.

Nie Kaihuan pulled Nie Jiaqi away, slightly turned his hand, and when Hou Baiyu turned his back to him, cast a glance at Luo Yixuan and Luo Yiqian.

After seeing them walk away, Luo Yixuan tilted her head to look at Hou Baiyu. Seeing his cold face, she couldn’t help but smile, "Brother always wanted to see this scene."

Hou Baiyu looked at the small figure with a mixed smile and felt somewhat helpless.

Why is she still so young...

The first time he truly saw Luo Yixuan was at her tenth birthday, when Luo Yirui invited them over to celebrate. At that time, he only thought this little girl was extremely cute.

He truly recognized his feelings six months ago, during a long and tangled process.

Little Cao Mei, really too young...

Feeling emotions one shouldn’t towards such a young girl made Hou Baiyu feel guilty, even thinking he was a pervert at one point, until he learned Fu Xuan Ge had similar feelings.

The difference was, this proud man who always looked down on people had thought it through this time.

"They’ll grow up eventually."

"Claim them now, or will they be ours in the future?"

"Constantly letting them know we’re the best in the world."

"Slowly they’ll realize all the good men in the world are gone except for us."

It was this realization that led Hou Baiyu to gradually approach Luo Yixuan. He hoped for her to grow up, hoped for her to come of age, perhaps waiting many years, but he wasn’t afraid to wait.

He expected Luo Yixuan to ask about Nie Jiaqi, but she didn’t.

Does she not care?
