"Oh, this, it's nothing. I just helped the old man renovate the mud on these bonsais. Maybe I didn't notice the mud on my hands, so I accidentally got mud on my face when I wiped the sweat." Bai Xi She tried her best to calm herself down. Fortunately, there were bonsai decorations inside, otherwise she wouldn't have known how to hide away.
Bai Xi kept using the corner of her eye to glance at Feng Ming, who had not looked at her as soon as she entered the room. At the same time, she prayed to God in her heart, hoping that this man would not recognize her face under the mud.
In fact, it's not just Feng Ming who can't tell that the current Bai Xi is Bai Xi with the identity of "Yuehua", even Bai Chongyuan can't tell that Bai Xi's current face is the one that shocked him just now, just because Bai Xi's current face is so... Except for her eyes and mouth, the rest of her face was covered by mud. Now she seemed to be wearing a facial mask, but this mask was a mud mask, but not a volcanic mud mask.
Bai Yujie frowned. Regarding Bai Xi's explanation, he didn't believe it. If it was because of wiping sweat, how could the whole face be covered with mud? Also, if the soil of the bonsai was really loosened, why Xi'er's clothes were so clean, and why did he come to loosen the soil at this time? However, he did not expose this point.
Feng Ming's handsome face remained the same as her indifferent expression.
"Since brother has something to do with the old man, I won't disturb him anymore. I'll go back to the yard first." If she doesn't leave, there's no guarantee that Feng Ming won't be able to tell. This man's eyes are too shrewd, and his face is covered with mud. , no wonder I’m not used to it.
"Xi..."
"Old man, I'll come with you next time to get the remaining bonsai outside." After saying this, Bai Xi turned around and left without giving Bai Chongyuan a chance to speak, nor giving Bai Yujie a chance to finish his words.
"Bai Xi."
Bai Xi paused, turned around stiffly, and looked at Feng Ming who suddenly spoke, "Huh? What's the matter?"
"I'll go back with you." After Feng Ming finished speaking calmly, she turned around and pulled Bai Xi out of the house, giving Bai Xi no chance to resist.
When Bai Yujie subconsciously wanted to follow him, Bai Chongyuan behind him suddenly said, "Boy Jie, have you ever said that Xi'er is not your sister?"
"Huh? This..." Why did grandpa suddenly mention this
"Yes or no?"
"Yes." Bai Yujie answered truthfully.
"In addition to mentioning it to your father, have you mentioned it to anyone else? For example, Xi Yatou." Bai Chongyuan's face showed unprecedented majesty, and even his tone was unusually serious.
Bai Yujie's expression changed, "Grandpa, you mean that Xi'er... knows?" Grandpa would never mention this matter for no reason. Even if he knew this secret, it was because he accidentally heard his father once. I only found out after talking to my grandfather.
But now that grandpa suddenly mentioned it, plus Xi'er's reaction just now, could it be...
"I'm not sure about this yet." He wasn't sure whether Xi Yatou knew about it. She only said that she heard the conversation between Jinhang and Jie Xiaozi, but she didn't raise any questions or ask him if this was true. ,instead…
"By the way, Xi Ya's face..." Bai Chongyuan suddenly stopped as if he thought of something. Instead of continuing the sentence, he asked aloud, "Why did you come to Mo Xuanyuan with Mr. Ming?"
"It happened by chance on the way. Grandpa, why did Xi'er come to see you?" He wanted to know what Xi'er and his father said in the study, and why did his father look nervous and scared? But his father didn't want to tell him anything? So when he learned that his father and Xi'er had appeared in Mo Xuanyuan one after another, he rushed over immediately. Little did he know that he would meet Feng Ming at the entrance of the courtyard.
"It's nothing, I just asked Xi'er to come and tidy up the bonsai outside."
"Is this really true?" Bai Yujie's doubts instantly expanded. He definitely didn't believe this answer.
"Otherwise you still think that I can't lie to you, old man. Well, it's getting late. You should go back quickly. Old man, I want to have a grandson next year." Bai Chongyuan directly issued an eviction order.
Bai Yujie wanted to say something more, but Bai Chongyuan ran out of excuses and left.
On the other side, after Feng Ming pulled Bai Xi out of Mo Xuanyuan, she did not let go of her hand. She was worried that someone would continue to avoid him if he let go, or because he didn't want to let go.
"Um... can you let go of your hand?" Why did the more she tried to avoid him, the more he appeared in front of her? It was like this in the palace during the day, and it is like this now.
"Don't let go!" Feng Ming didn't stop, and her golden eyes didn't even look at Bai Xi behind her.
"Aren't you looking for the old man? You go ahead, I'll just go back to Xiyuan by myself." Her heart was about to rise to her throat. Although her face was covered with mud, she was just afraid that he would discover the mud. The face below.
"I'm looking for you, not Old Man Bai."
"Huh?" Looking for her? What to do with her
Feng Ming suddenly stopped and directly picked up Bai Xi, but did not use Qing Kung Fu, but continued walking steadily.
"Feng Ming, let me down!" He hugged me no matter what he said. No, he didn't even say that. Even though it was night, there were still many servants passing by.
"Don't let go!"
"open!"
"Don't let go!"
"If you don't let go, I will smear the mud on your face on your clothes." Bai Xi said in a slightly threatening tone. She knew that this man was a bit of a germaphobe.
"Wipe it off, it's already dirty anyway."
"Put me down and let me walk on my own, okay?" If it's hard, then be soft. She didn't believe that this man wouldn't take the hard way. In fact, Feng Ming was a person who wouldn't take the hard way.
"Put you down so that you can avoid me, right?" Jin Yan lowered his eyes and stared straight at the little painted face in his arms.
"Eh? You... did you see it?" For some reason, Bai Xi felt a little guilty in his heart, as if he had been caught doing something wrong.
The golden eyes raised, no longer looking at Bai Xi, and continued walking forward, but the pace was relatively faster.
"I didn't hide from you, I just..." Bai Xi quickly found a suitable excuse in his mind, "I didn't hide from you. I was a little anxious at the time and hurried to the latrine."
Feng Ming didn't pay attention to her, didn't even look at her, and still had an indifferent expression on his face.
"Hey, everything I said is true. I didn't lie to you." How did she know that he had seen her at that time? If she had known, she would never have escaped in front of him.
“…”
"Feng Ming, did you hear that?" You have to give me a reaction no matter what.
"Yes." Feng Ming responded.
Bai Xi breathed a sigh of relief. The man finally agreed. He believed her words. "So I didn't hide from you. Can you let me go?"
