Han Mo absolutely believed Xi'er's words. Even with such fragmented memories, it proved... someone must have been orchestrating this: "So, are there any other people in that memory of yours?"
Other people?
Bai Xi frowned slightly upon hearing Han Mo's words, her brows furrowed with coldness. "There was a man in a white long robe."
In that memory, the man had gently held an umbrella for her. But in the memories that followed... he had piled the severed heads of her family in front of her.
This stark contrast, even remembering it now, sent shivers down her spine.
As soon as these words were uttered, Han Mo's figure faltered slightly.
How could he not know who Bai Xi was referring to? That person must have been Han Luo.
So, at that time, Han Luo had already devised such a scheme to sow discord between him and Xi'er. It was precisely because of this incident that they had missed each other in the previous life, and it had even led to so many tragic outcomes.
But now... he was more worried about Bai Xi.
Thinking of this, he looked at the person in his arms.
Bai Xi naturally also heard the flaw in Han Mo's words.
If that person wasn't Han Mo, but a man with disguise abilities comparable to Liu Yue, then from such a distance, with a light rain falling, it was normal for her to be hurt by the scene before her and become emotionally unstable, failing to identify him immediately.
This incident solidified two beliefs for her once again.
One, if anything happens again, especially matters of the heart, address it immediately to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Two, always maintain emotional composure, because when people are swayed by strong emotions, they cannot think rationally.
However, the instigator of this matter was already clearly revealed by Han Mo's words – the man in the white long robe.
He probably never liked her. What he wanted was to ruin her relationship with Han Mo and then use him to destroy the Bai family.
"If it weren't for the fact that over three hundred years have passed, that man would have been utterly pulverized. I would have turned him into ashes."
She vaguely remembered that Han Mo had severely injured that man when he saved her. Judging by the position of the sword thrust, it had hit vital organs. Without any accidents, he shouldn't have lived long. Even if there were doctors as skilled as Han Mo at that time, it would be impossible to live for over three hundred years; otherwise, he wouldn't be human.
Han Mo frowned again upon hearing Bai Xi's words.
That person...
Xi'er's hatred for Han Luo was natural, but now...
At that time, Han Luo and Bai Xi were even closer than he and Bai Xi.
Han Luo had been sickly since childhood. The Bai family's cultivation techniques were suitable for his healing, so he was sent to the Bai family to learn them when he was young. Han Luo appeared amiable and polite, naturally gaining Bai Xi's favor.
At that time, the Han family having a gifted child was not a secret, at least not within the Bai family.
Therefore, if Bai Xi truly had memories of her past life, she would definitely know Han Luo's ability was to foresee the future.
And Han Bai...
Her closest brother in this life had annihilated her entire Bai family in the previous life. How could she bear it? But... she didn't seem to have strong emotions about it, even having the mood to reminisce about their past. Could it be that...
"Xi'er, are there many things you still don't remember?"
Bai Xi looked up at Han Mo's worried face and nodded. "Yes, I chose to forget."
Since the past, life and death had already reached their conclusion in that life, there was no need to dwell on it. However, Han Mo was an exception... It is said that if heaven had feelings, heaven would also grow old, but heaven had arranged for her and Han Mo to meet again, which could be considered a compensation for their love that was torn apart by life and death in the previous life.
She didn't know then that this so-called arrangement was exchanged for a huge price by Han Mo, not by heaven's mercy.
Han Mo didn't say much, just held her tighter.
Yes, in Bai Xi's eyes, the events of the previous life were already in the past.
And only he knew that Han Luo had also been reborn and had become Bai Xi's brother.
In this life, he would definitely protect her and do his best to let her have a happy and joyful life.
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo's light-colored eyes and said faintly, "Is there something you're hiding from me again?"
Han Mo smiled. "There are indeed some things I don't want you to know. But you said it yourself, it's all in the past life. Since you chose to forget, why dwell on it?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow. "That's true."
Since she chose to forget, why continue to be bothered.
What she needed to do was to protect her happiness in this life and be with the people who were important to her.
Han Mo reached out a finger and gently tapped Bai Xi's nose, his eyes filled with pampering and deep affection. "Finally, your heart is like mine; every day with you is good."
By the time Bai Xi and Han Mo returned to the villa, it was already very late.
Lin Yun was sitting on the sofa, seeming to be waiting for them. Upon seeing Bai Xi and Han Mo, she smiled warmly. "You're back. I had Sisi prepare some late-night snacks. Do you want to eat something?"
Bai Xi looked at Lin Yun in front of her and frowned slightly. "Mom, you don't need to wait for me at home every day. You can rest early."
After learning about her mother's health condition from the old traditional Chinese medicine doctor, she had been worried about her mother's health. Although the old doctor said that Lin Yun's body had been regulated well and should not affect her natural lifespan, she was still worried. She feared that her condition might worsen unexpectedly, causing other abnormalities in her body.
Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed in Lin Yun's eyes, and her smile became a little awkward. "I just happened to be unable to sleep."
Seeing this, Bai Xi felt that she had spoken too stiffly. "Mom, I didn't mean it like that. I just..."
She really wanted to say she was worried about her health, but she was afraid that if she said it, her mother would feel her body was a burden. Moreover, she had kept it a secret for so long; she shouldn't have known.
For a moment, she didn't know what to say.
Having left her own home since childhood and living under Bai Qian, she had always avoided speaking as much as possible. Because the more you speak, the more mistakes you make; if you don't speak, you won't make mistakes.
In the Dark Department, it was sufficient to execute orders and issue commands. Everything was devoid of emotion, completely disregarding the feelings and sentiments of others.
As a result, she didn't know how to comfort her mother's feelings at this moment.
Han Mo seemed to have noticed her embarrassment and stepped forward with a smile. "Thank you, Mom. We just finished dealing with matters at the Dark Department and didn't have time to eat. We're just hungry now. Xi'er is also worried about your health. You've been caring for us quite a bit these past few days, and you look a bit worn out. Tomorrow, I'll write down two more nourishing medicinal recipes for Aunt Feng to stew for you to recuperate."
Lin Yun listened to the address of "Mom" and Han Mo's words, smiling even more kindly. "Mo'er, don't take what Mom said this morning to heart. Mom just hopes that Xi'er can live a healthy and happy life..."
This morning she was still opposing Han Mo and Bai Xi being together, but Han Mo was comforting her so gently now, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
However, this also proved that this child was truly kind, and more importantly, his genuine feelings for Xi'er allowed him to love someone because of their beloved.
Han Mo smiled. "Mom, you have to believe that our thoughts and wishes are the same, so there are no fundamental contradictions."
