"Since it's just a misunderstanding, is there really no way to prove to Uncle that his father's death back then had nothing to do with you?"
Baili Xia was truly worried, torn between the man she loved the most and her grandfather.
It was just a misunderstanding to begin with, but now, is it too late to clarify?
"If it were that easy to clarify, today's situation wouldn't have arisen."
The old man looked at her, his face full of concern.
"Don't stay here with me; hurry and leave before anyone finds out."
"This matter is between your grandfather and Jiu; you shouldn't get involved."
"Grandfather... might not be able to keep you safe. Since Jiu brought you back, yet let Ning Anran replace you, I fear he truly has feelings for you."
"Grandfather..." Baili Xia's heart trembled, not expecting her grandfather to see it all so clearly.
Why, then, did he promise to let her marry Brother back then?
"It's only because of recent events that I've realized all this."
