Compared to Baili Xia's unease, Ning Anran was surprisingly calm.
"Are you back?" Seeing Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao enter the side hall, Ning Anran immediately stood up, nodding her head somewhat earnestly and fearfully towards them.
Baili Xia nodded, then walked over to the old man with Mu Xiaoyao, respectfully calling out, "Grandfather."
The old man was initially a bit displeased because they had been away for almost half a month without even saying goodbye to him.
But now, seeing Baili Xia, he immediately brightened up.
As long as they returned safely, that was all that mattered.
"Sit down, dinner is about to start." He took Baili Xia's hand, frowning at her slightly pale face.
"What's the matter? Didn't you eat well while you were away? You look like you've lost weight."
Then he looked at Mu Xiaoyao with displeasure in his eyes: "You boy, did you bully her?"
"How could I dare?" Mu Xiaoyao replied faintly, then walked to the side and sat down.
