“Brother Baili, don’t listen to those people’s nonsense. My sister won’t like that vice sect master and won’t agree to marry anyone else.” Bai Jiao’er felt that something was wrong. She stood up and tried to make him stay.
“Parents and matchmakers decide. Marriage is not something we can decide on our own. Miss Wanxi is so outstanding, she should choose a good husband. Jiaojiao, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. I’ll go back first. Please help me apologize to the Bai family head. I’m afraid I won’t be able to attend tonight’s birthday banquet.” With that, Baili Yu got up and left in a hurry.
“Brother Baili, don’t leave!” Bai Jiao’er called out to him anxiously.
However, Baili Yu left without looking back.
“Aiya, what’s wrong with this person?! As long as my sister likes him, isn’t that enough? What’s that about parents and matchmakers? They’re just nonsense!” Bai Jiao’er tugged at Little Jue’s sleeve. “Little Jue, do you think I’m right?!”
Little Jue looked down at the angry Bai Jiao’er and didn’t say anything. Quan Jue, on the other hand, nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Little Jue wasn’t responding, Bai Jiao’er grew even angrier. “Aiya, you blockhead! Aren’t you going to bring me back?”
Little Jue nodded. The two of them left the restaurant in a hurry.
Bai Jiao’er understood that things had bee plicated. When she returned, she didn’t immediately seek out Baili Yu. Instead, she went to find Bai Wanxi and told her everything.
Bai Wanxi was wearing a black robe as she stood in the spacious courtyard. She listened to Bai Jiao’er patiently and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. “I understand. Jiao’er, you can’t blame anyone for this. Young Master Baili has a point. We don’t belong to the same status. I’m afraid Daddy won’t agree to our marriage.”
“What should we do then?!” Bai Jiao’er stomped her feet anxiously.
“Let nature take its course. If he has the courage to fight for our relationship, I won’t let him down even if I die,” Bai Wanxi said seriously, her deep eyes sparkling.
Bai Jiao’er looked a little uneasy. “What if Brother Baili doesn’t have the courage?”
“I won’t marry the vice sect master or any other man I don’t like. I’ll sacrifice myself for the Bai family for the rest of my life. I won’t fuss or try to force things. If I can’t get what I want, then I won’t want it anymore. I won’t promise.” Bai Wanxi’s eyes were bright and filled with determination.
Bai Jiao’er looked at her fixedly. She felt that this determined side of her sister was even more charming. She didn’t know how to describe that aura.
Quan Jue looked at her in confusion. “Such a woman actually succumbed in the end.”
“I find it strange, too. And that’s not the strangest thing. Brother Quan, don’t you feel like we’ve experienced everything before? Everything feels so familiar.” The more time Chi Jiao spent in this place, the more certain she was about that.
Everything felt too familiar to Chi Jiao as if she had experienced everything herself.
“I have the same feeling. The diary has nothing to do with this. There is no bewitching spell at work here. It’s just an ordinary space,” Quan Jue said with certainty.
