Bai Xi watched You Si before her, her image slowly merging with and then peeling away from her memory, only to fuse together again.
On the journey of life, everyone grows.
Not to be clouded by temporary emotions, and to know gratitude, is the beginning of a person walking towards the light.
If before she was merely no longer bothered by past events, nor dwelling on them, then now she had truly let go and was willing to get to know the person before her anew.
"I'll be having my wedding with Han Mo in a few days. If you're free, you can come and visit. Tong Yao will also be here then."
Upon hearing this, You Si was taken aback, her eyes lighting up, "Can I, really?"
Her greatest hope had been for Bai Xi to forgive her for the absurd things she had done, influenced by emotions and instigated by others, to apologize and compensate. But Bai Xi's actions were not only forgiving, but she was even willing to be close to her.
Repaying kindness with grace, and having a broad mind, how narrow-minded she had been to feel they were at odds. It was fortunate that she had maintained her bottom line and not caused grave misfortune, thus having the opportunity for redemption.
Bai Xi nodded lightly, "Yes, I'll send someone to deliver the invitation to the You family later."
You Si's eyes were filled with emotion, "Thank you."
Bai Xi said no more, instead turning to the female staff member who had been watching the scene unfold, "Excuse me, is this the only room in the Civil Affairs Bureau where we can take our vows?"
Although she tried her best to preserve the sanctity of the vow room, however...
The flower vase knocked off the vow platform, the decorations slightly askew by a member of the dark department, the wooden door with two pieces crushed by Kong Li, and the nauseating smell not far from the entrance: "..."
It was a complete dampener, affecting her mood!
The female staff member, hearing Bai Xi speak, suddenly snapped back to attention, "Yes, yes, please wait a moment. I'll tidy up an office to be used as the vow room. Please wait a few moments."
This girl was acquainted with a mid-level commander of the dark department, so they naturally couldn't afford to neglect her.
What's more, the scene just now was too cool.
Getting rid of a scamming渣男, rescuing an innocent girl, and then resolving their differences, mature and beautiful.
Girls helping girls, perfect!
She had to find a way to ensure this little beauty, who embodied prettiness, coolness, and dominance, had a pleasant and romantic registration ceremony.
Fifteen minutes later, Bai Xi and Han Mo were ushered into a clean and tidy room, where they completed the vow ceremony and received two red booklets.
When Bai Xi returned, Lin Yun was already waiting at home, "Did you get the marriage certificates?"
Bai Xi casually spread the two red booklets in her palm, showing them to Lin Yun, "Naturally."
Lin Yun opened them, smiling broadly as she looked at the photos of the two, "Good, good, good. Ah, seeing Xi'er settled, I am at ease."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, displeased, "Settled? Why say he is my settlement? Isn't it that I am his settlement?"
Lin Yun replied with a helpless expression, "You child."
Han Mo smiled slightly, "Yes, Xi'er is my settlement."
Without her, he would have been nothing more than a drifting monster his entire life.
Lin Yun looked at the two, her eyes even misting over with a hint of red, "Look at me, this is a joyous occasion, why am I shedding tears."
Bai Xi understood her mother's feelings, stepping forward gently to wipe away the tears at the corner of Lin Yun's eyes, "Mom, don't worry. From now on, our family will be together, and we'll be happy every day. Right, A Mo."
Han Mo nodded with a smile.
Seeing him nod, Bai Xi's eyes softened, and she revealed a rare, brilliant smile.
Yes, from now on, Han Mo was also her family.
Bai Han stood to the side, quietly watching Bai Xi and the other two. Only after they had finished their pleasantries did he speak, "Dr. Han, do you have time to chat alone?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xi was slightly stunned and looked up, "Brother, A Mo and I are already married!"
Han Mo was her man, and Bai Han was her brother. Naturally, she hoped the two could get along peacefully.
It was just... for some reason, her brother seemed to not like Han Mo very much. Even now, he still referred to him as Dr. Han.
She knew that before he was cured, his reliance on Han Mo was even deeper than hers, and his affection even stronger than their mother's.
Bai Han smiled elegantly, "What, you're already being protective after just getting married? As your elder brother, anything I say, even criticism, he should listen to. Isn't that right, Dr. Han?"
After speaking, he looked up at Han Mo.
Han Mo nodded, his eyes unreadable, but he replied, "Naturally."
Bai Xi frowned and looked at her brother.
Bai Han, however, directly smiled and extended his finger, gently pinching Bai Xi's cheek, "Alright, alright, you're married now. Can I still act like I'm breaking up a couple? I'm just acting as an elder brother to offer some guidance, hoping he cherishes my sister. Is that not allowed?"
Bai Xi's cheek was pinched, and she was slightly stunned.
In her memory, Bai Han had never pinched her cheek, yet this pinch inexplicably gave her a sense of familiarity, accompanied by a strong sense of unease.
She instinctively took a step back.
As Bai Xi stepped back, Bai Han clearly also froze for a moment, but quickly resumed his usual gentle and elegant smile, "So, Xi'er, are you willing to let him go?"
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo.
If Han Mo was unwilling, she would not force him. After all, Han Mo was willing to integrate into the Bai family for her sake. If she didn't protect him, how could she be considered a competent wife?
Seeing Bai Xi's expression, Han Mo understood her thoughts. He reached out and stroked her hair, "It's fine. We're married today, so it's natural for Brother to want to offer some guidance. And I also have something I want to say to Brother."
After speaking, he looked at Bai Han.
Bai Han also smiled and looked at him.
Bai Xi watched the two, both smiling with a calm and gentlemanly elegance, finding it somewhat strange. However, if she had to pinpoint what was strange, she couldn't.
But since both of them had expressed a desire to speak with each other, it would be unreasonable for her to intervene.
In the room.
Bai Han poured two glasses of whiskey, added two large ice cubes, and handed one glass to Han Mo, "Dr. Han, you mentioned you had something to say to me. Perhaps you should go first."
Han Mo said calmly, "I need you to help me with something."
Bai Han sipped his whiskey, "To tell you how to save Xiao Xi, right?"
Han Mo's eyes suddenly turned cold, his sharp gaze enough to strike fear into the hearts of anyone who saw it, "So, have you learned something?"
Bai Han drained the glass of whiskey in his hand and placed it on the mahogany table, "We are both branded already. What could I know? You should be very clear, shouldn't you? Moreover, I am stronger now than in my previous life."
