Tomb Raider【Filling My Heart with Unresolved Feelings】

The two came to the backstage tea room and sat opposite each other. Xie Yuchen personally poured a cup of tea for Bai Mumu, and the fragrance of tea filled the air.

Xie Yuchen: "This is the Longjing tea I specially asked someone to prepare. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Bai Mumu picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. The fragrance of the tea spread in her mouth. She smiled and nodded in praise.

Bai Mumu: "Good tea."

Bai Mumu: "My last name is Bai. You can call me Mumu or Xiaomu. Don't call me girly anymore. It sounds weird."

Xie Yuchen: "Okay, then I'll call you Mumu. If you don't mind, you can also call me Xiaohua."

Bai Mumu: "Xiaohua, this name really suits the person."

In the face of Bai Mumu's teasing, Xie Yuchen just smiled, but didn't mind and instead started talking about opera with her.

During their conversation, he was quite surprised by some of Bai Mumu's insights, and he admired her even more.

During the conversation, the topic gradually deepened, and Xie Yuchen also asked about Bai Mumu's identity intentionally or unintentionally.

Xie Yuchen: "From what I hear, your accent doesn't sound like you're from Beijing, but more like you're from the south."

Bai Mumu: "Oh, you can hear that too."

Xie Yuchen: "I also have some business dealings in the south, so I often visit them and am quite familiar with them."

Bai Mumu did not hide it. It was not a secret. Even if she didn't tell him now, he would investigate it later, so she told him the truth.

Upon learning that Bai Mumu was indeed from another place, a barely perceptible light flashed in Xie Yuchen's eyes.

Xie Jie Yuchen: "If you are not in a hurry to leave, you may come to this opera garden to listen to operas if you have free time during your visit to the capital."

Bai Mumu: "Definitely."

Outside the window, the sun was shining brightly, shining on the two of them, creating a harmonious picture.

Time flew by in a happy atmosphere, and when the sun set, the two had to say goodbye. Xie Yuchen saw Bai Mumu off, and before leaving, he handed her a jade token.

Xie Jie Yuchen: "Next time you come to the Liyuan to watch a play, you don't have to queue up. Just give this jade token to the servants, and they will understand."

Bai Mumu did not refuse Xie Yuchen's kindness and reached out to take the jade token that Xie Yuchen handed over.

Bai Mumu: "Thank you, see you next time."

After saying that, she turned around and left with a smile, leaving Xie Yuchen standing there, looking at her back getting farther and farther away, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

After leaving the Liyuan, Bai Mumu did not go back to the inn directly. She strolled through the streets and alleys of the capital, feeling the unique charm of this ancient city. The prosperous scenes along the way made her dazzled, and her heart was full of expectations for the future.

System: "Mumu, I always felt that he was testing you just now."

Bai Mumu: "I know."

System: "Then why do you still tell him the truth?"

Bai Mumu: "What I said is not a secret. Even if I don't tell him, he will know it. It's just a matter of time."

System: "That's true. Xie Yuchen is indeed a businessman. He always speaks in a roundabout way. You never know when he will set a trap for you."

Bai Mumu: "How can a man who can be the head of the family at the age of 8 be as innocent and harmless as he looks. If he wasn't ruthless under those circumstances, I guess we wouldn't even be able to find his bones now."

System: "Alas - I don't know how he managed to survive all these years. Jie Lianhuan is really cruel. He left a child like him in such a den of wolves."

Bai Mumu: "He also has his own sufferings. If he could, he wouldn't want to do it, but he had no choice under the circumstances."

On one side is his adopted son, and on the other side is the future of the Nine Gates. No matter what choice he makes, someone will be sacrificed.

Bai Mumu: "If it were you, what would you choose?"

The system also remained silent. Under the circumstances at the time, if it were in its place, it would seem that it would make the same choice.

System: "Then Xie Yuchen is the victim of this game."

Bai Mumu: "I can only say that he is also a chess piece, and an indispensable part of the chessboard. This game cannot be played without any of them."

System: "These nine sects are really a bunch of lunatics. They are risking everything on this game. Is it really worth it? What if they lose?"

Bai Mumu stopped, stared into the distance, and said with a firm expression.

Bai Mumu: "Because of this, this game has meaning. They used everything they had to protect the responsibility and honor of the Nine Gates. And the facts prove that they won the bet, didn't they?"

System: 'responsibility' and 'honor'

At this moment, the system seemed to understand something, but it was still a little worried when it looked at Bai Mumu.

System: "What about you? Will you also become a chess piece in this game?"

Bai Mumu smiled, with a confident light in her eyes.

Bai Mumu: "I am not anyone's chess piece, but the one playing chess."

The system looked at her in surprise, as if it had gotten to know her all over again at this moment.

Bai Mumu continued to walk forward, her steps firm and powerful. She already had a plan in mind, she wanted to be the biggest winner in this game.
