Reasons for marriage

  In the midst of Mu Hu's loud laughter, Bai Liuli suddenly felt an urge to cover her forehead. What was this "your home is my home, my home is your husband's home" or "your wife said so"? It seemed he had repeated their nonsense in the manor to others, and it was even in this "wife"'s home, in front of this "wife".

  Bai Luli's life for the first time understood what it means to lose face, this seemingly taciturn Baili Yunfei who didn't want to say an extra word, could actually say something like that?

  "Grandfather's mind is like that of a child, I hope Your Excellency won't take grandfather's nonsense to heart." Bai Liuli couldn't help but explain Old White Yue's rudeness to Baili Yunfei, then glared at the disgruntled-looking White Yue, her voice as low and unyielding as possible, "Old Yue, are you coming home with me or not?"

  "Hey, hey, hey, Master Bai, don't rush to blame Old Man Bai just yet. You think he's talking nonsense, but shouldn't you first ask if it was your 'daughter-in-law' who said this?" Mu Zong laughed so hard that his mouth couldn't close, and he awkwardly jumped to Old Man Bai's side, smiling at him with a flattering expression, "Old Master, isn't that right?"

  "That's right! I've never spoken nonsense in my life, every word I say is the truth!" Old White's face turned red with rage as he was provoked by Mu Ze, looking like a stubborn child who had been wronged. "You little brat, you don't ask clearly, I won't leave, I won't go home!"

  Lao Bai finished speaking with a loud roar, and then sat down on the stone bench with a look of "you won't give me back my innocence even if you kill me", Mu Ze's goal was achieved, he smiled with his eyes narrowed, and slipped back to his own seat, looking like he was waiting for a good show.

  Thus, two people sat in the pavilion, and two stood. Bai Liuli was standing face to face with Baili Yunfei across the stone table, while the two seated individuals stared at them with all four eyes fixed intently, watching how they would resolve this issue.

  The atmosphere suddenly became eerie, and Bai Luli could only weakly rub her forehead. This old man was as stubborn as a piece of rawhide, unable to be persuaded no matter how hard you tried. She let out a soft sigh and said: "Wang Ye..."

  "It was I who spoke." However, Bai Liusi had just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Baili Yunxiao. The brief four words made Bai Liusi pause, and even Mu Ze's eyes, which were watching the scene with interest, became profound.

  "You little scoundrel, did you hear that? This is your wife speaking with her own mouth, not me spouting nonsense!" Old White's back straightened up in an instant, and he slapped the table with a loud crack, causing the tea water in the cups to slosh violently.

  "The king is indeed gentle, and has the interest to joke with grandfather." Bai Liuli didn't smile, her eyes instead became gloomy, "However, Liuli is not grandfather, King doesn't need to joke with Liuli."

  Baili Yunxiao stopped talking and just stared at her quietly. Although his eyes were invisible, it made Bai Liuli feel inexplicably uneasy in her heart.

  "Marquis Wang kindly invited Grandfather to the mansion for tea tasting, Liu Li thanked him and since it's getting late, Liu Li and Grandfather took their leave. She has been reborn in a different world and still has many things to deal with, she doesn't have the mood or mind to socialize with unrelated people who are too deep, 'Old man Yue, I had the chef cook your favorite dishes, go home now.'"

  This stubborn old man was the only family she had left after Bai Lian's death, and she couldn't abandon him no matter how much trouble he caused her.

  "I'm not going back!" Old White said resolutely, turning his face away. Then he turned back to glare at Bai Lian with a "hate-iron-that-can't-be-forged" expression and said, "I think you're treating your wife poorly, so I'll stay here to keep an eye on her. Otherwise, when the time comes, she might run off and you won't be able to marry her. I'll stay until you come to take her home as your wife!"

  "...Is this a veiled attempt to force her into accepting the marriage? What kind of medicine did Baili Yunxiao give to the old man, that he would so resolutely abandon her and stand on his side?"

  The hundred-mile cloud vulture remains silent as ever.

  Mu Ze laughed again and sprayed tea, slapping the table with a loud laugh.

  "My wife doesn't welcome you staying at her place." Since the other party didn't mind being referred to in this way, why should she give him face?

  Lao Baiyue immediately looked up at Baili Yunxiao, and before Baili Yunxiao could respond, Mu Ze spoke up again: "It's okay, it's okay. Who says your wife doesn't welcome the old master? Your wife welcomes him a million times over. Otherwise, she wouldn't take advantage of you not being in the mansion to cheat... Ahh..."

  Mu Ze's words were cut off as he furrowed his brow and let out a loud cry, while Baili Yunfei nonchalantly moved his foot away from Mu Ze's back.

  Bai Luli was very clear about Bai Yue's temperament. Once he made up his mind, nothing could change it, not even ten cows pulling together. Knowing that saying more would be useless, she gave the three men in front of her a cold glance before turning around and leaving, muttering sarcastically: "Three men, one farce."

  Her voice was very low, Mu Ze didn't hear it, but the corner of Bai Li Yun Xiao's mouth under the mask slightly raised.

  "The older you get, the more you should change your surname to Bai Li." Bai Liumi suddenly raised her voice again and left in big strides without looking back or bidding farewell. The listener who had unknowingly retreated earlier appeared out of nowhere and bowed to Bai Yunxiao from a distance before following behind Bai Liumi to see her off the premises.

  "You dare to compete with me, you little scoundrel! Wait till I get home and I'll have your hide! Old White was getting more and more agitated by Bai Luli's attitude, then he comforted Baili Yunxiao, "Don't worry, my dear granddaughter-in-law, I'm here, that little scamp won't dare not come to the wedding."

  "It's enough to kill me!" Old White got angrier, and he himself started drinking tea, treating Baili Yunhuang and Mu Zhen as if they were air.

  "Ba-li Yun-xiao, you cold-faced man, how dare you step on my foot? Don't think I'll help you with matchmaking again, is that it?" Mu-zhao shot Ba-li Yun-xiao a sharp glance, gritting his teeth.

  Baili Yunxiao sat back down, and in response to Mu Zhen's sharp gaze and indignation, he simply replied with a faint "no", making Mu Zhen feel like his fist had hit cotton, without any strength. He muttered: "I don't get it, why do you have to marry her? It's clear she doesn't want to marry you. This is a classic case of trying to stick your hot face on someone else's cold butt, and wasting so much of my breath."

  "She's special, indeed." Not to mention a woman, but even men rarely see him without being shocked and terrified, let alone dare to look straight into his eyes. And she was the first woman who saw him without hiding or fleeing in fear, still daring to look straight at him.

  But what makes her special is not just that, nor is it just the color she has in his eyes. She has something even more special.

  In Mu Ze's slightly furrowed brow, Bai Li Yun Xiao raised his head to look at the endless sky, his voice light and faint, almost ethereal. "Why must you marry her? Just want to find someone of the same kind."

  "Ah Nun might not understand this kind of thinking."

  "Is she your... kind?" Mu Ze's eyes narrowed, and for an instant, he felt that the black-clad Baili Yunxiao under the dull grey sky was an existence that shouldn't be tolerated.

  "Maybe." Hmph... Is there anyone else like him?

  Digression

  Maybe some girls think the male lead is not impressive, don't worry, as the saying goes "good things are hidden at the bottom", the male lead's strength and impressive points are yet to come, just believe that the male lead is powerful!
