Chapter 22: Heh Heh Heh
“Miss, and… Young Master Mu, are you going out?”
When Mu Zhi’an left the mansion with Bai Ruoxi, the two servants still standing guard outside the mansion couldn’t help but ask when they saw this.
In fact, under normal circumstances, these servants would never inquire about their master’s affairs.
However, Ye Yu had just left in a huff, and it was obvious that it must have something to do with Bai Ruoxi and even Mu Zhi’an.
And now Mu Zhi’an was taking the young miss away, which inevitably made people a bit worried.
Bai Ruoxi lightly “mm”ed, her voice cool, and said, “There are some matters that require a trip to the Mu residence.”
Mu Zhi’an followed with a smile, “Please trouble you two to tell Madam Bai when she returns that Miss Bai has some matters to attend to at the Mu residence tonight and won’t be returning to the Bai residence tonight for the time being.”
The two looked at each other, and then their gazes towards Mu Zhi’an suddenly gained a bit of ambiguity.
Miss Bai had just firmly rejected Ye Yu, could it be because of Mu Zhi’an?
Bai Ruoxi subconsciously turned her head to look at Mu Zhi’an, her eyes widening slightly, filled with surprise.
Not returning to the residence at night… Mu Zhi’an hadn’t told her about this just now.
If it were in the past, Bai Ruoxi would probably have started fantasizing at this point.
After all, it was no wonder that a girl’s mind would run wild when spending the night at a man’s house late at night.
But Mu Zhi’an’s performance these past few days had made her feel a bit more at ease.
Mu Zhi’an might have some thoughts about her, but he definitely wouldn’t take advantage of her in a vulnerable situation… Bai Ruoxi already had this impression.
After all, the other party had several opportunities to make a move on her before, but he didn’t do anything.
When Bai Ruoxi thought of this, Mu Zhi’an had already lifted the curtain of the carriage and turned his head, saying, “Come up, Miss Bai.”
Bai Ruoxi came back to her senses, nodding reservedly. She gracefully walked to the side of the carriage, a morning breeze blowing by, her white dress fluttering. She wore plain short boots, her figure tall and slender, the fabric tightly fitting her voluptuous figure. She pressed a hand on her lofty bosom and slightly bent down to enter the carriage.
Mu Zhi’an signaled to the coachman, and the carriage slowly started moving.
Bai Ruoxi turned her head to look at the young man beside her, waiting for Mu Zhi’an to explain, but unexpectedly, after getting on the carriage, he hugged the back of his head with both hands and closed his eyes to rest.
Bai Ruoxi was silent for a while, but finally couldn’t help but say, “Young Master Mu, can you clearly explain what you want me to go to the Mu residence for now?”
Mu Zhi’an shook his head and said, “Telling you now has no meaning. You won’t believe it.”
“Also, I’m not sure about the authenticity of the information, so I won’t be a rumormonger.”
The black-robed man did say that he saw Bai Yuanfeng at the Gongsun residence, but in the end, this was only the black-robed man’s one-sided statement.
The purpose of the black-robed man telling him this information was to make Mu Zhi’an suspicious of the Bai family and the Gongsun family, just to prevent the Mu family from joining forces with the Gongsun family against him.
The truth of this information was unknown for now.
But of course, the truth would soon be revealed.
Moreover, the current doubts indeed all pointed to Bai Yuanfeng.
…
Mu Residence.
Bai Ruoxi sat on a chair, drinking morning tea, seeming a bit absent-minded.
A few strands of hair fell on her classically delicate face. Wearing a white long dress, at first glance, she was a cold beauty. With such looks, it was enough to make males of the same age feel inferior.
At this moment, Bai Ruoxi was holding a teacup with one hand, lowering her eyelids, looking at the ground, as if in a daze.
It had to be said that she was indeed a great beauty. Even when in a daze, she was still elegantly otherworldly… Mu Zhi’an sighed with a bit of emotion in his heart.
Sensing the fiery gaze of the Mu family’s young master, Bai Ruoxi subconsciously raised her head to take a glance. When their gazes met, she wasn’t shy at all and just softly asked, “Young Master Mu, can you still not explain the reason now?”
Mu Zhi’an shook his head, “Wait until night falls, and you’ll know.”
Bai Ruoxi was stunned and muttered to herself, “Night falls…?”
This was a word that was easily misunderstood. Thinking of Mu Zhi’an’s fiery gaze just now, even if one trusted Mu Zhi’an, they couldn’t help but fantasize a bit.
“In a bit, I’ll show you a surprise.”
Mu Zhi’an said and shook his head again, “No… Maybe I should say a shock.”
“Miss Bai, you need to be mentally prepared.” Mu Zhi’an continued.
Bai Ruoxi’s beautiful eyes flashed, carrying a look of confusion.
But Mu Zhi’an had no intention of explaining. He just picked up the teacup, took a small sip of hot tea, and looked ahead, seeming to be pondering something.
Seeing this, Bai Ruoxi didn’t interrupt Mu Zhi’an’s thoughts anymore. She held the teacup with both hands and quietly drank tea.
After all, even if she asked, Mu Zhi’an probably wouldn’t answer. Since that was the case, there was no need to invite a rebuff.
After having dinner at the Mu residence, it was approaching the hour of Hai(Pig) (9-11pm). At this time, the entire Tianxuan City was quiet in the dead of night.
Mu Zhi’an turned his head to look at Bai Ruoxi, who had been sitting quietly for a whole day and was now a bit mentally fatigued, and said, “Miss Bai, let’s go.”
Bai Ruoxi mustered up her energy, raised her eyelids, and asked, “Where to…?”
“Of course, to the destination. Don’t tell me you want to go to my room?” Mu Zhi’an joked with a smile.
Bai Ruoxi’s cheeks were dyed with two faint blushes. She slightly raised her eyelids, her eyes rippling with charm, and softly said, “Where is the destination…?”
“The Bai residence.” Mu Zhi’an said, “I’m taking you home.”
Bai Ruoxi was obviously stunned for a moment.
Mu Zhi’an invited her to the Mu residence just to sit still for a day, and then send her back to the Bai residence when it was almost nightfall…?
Facing Bai Ruoxi’s confused gaze, Mu Zhi’an gently put down the teacup and smiled,
“I wonder if Miss Bai has ever tried sneaking into her own house at night?”
Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly and said softly, “Why do I need to sneak back home…?”
Bai Yuanfeng supported her daughter marrying into the Mu family. If she knew that Bai Ruoxi was at the Mu residence tonight, she wouldn’t say anything.
Theoretically, she had no reason to need to sneak back home.
Mu Zhi’an glanced at the cold beauty and said faintly, “You’ll know very soon.”
