"When did Brother learn to speak like this?"
Baili Xia smiled faintly, but did not turn around, still gazing out the window.
"He's always been this way in handling matters, never likes consulting with others."
"He decided to let our engagement proceed, even if I went to see him, he would surely give reasons for me to obey."
She understood Uncle too well, and because of that understanding, even the strength to confront him had been worn away.
Mu Xiaoyao, however, disagreed: "If you don't speak up clearly, you'll always feel resentful. Even if you know you can't change the outcome, isn't it possible to accept it with peace of mind?"
"I won't." Baili Xia turned her head, staring at his handsome face.
"Why would he be like this? Brother, you've lived with him for so many years, has he always been this way?"
"Always like this."
"Why?"
She truly didn't understand, how can a person's personality be so cold, so solitary?
When there's something, can't he discuss it with others?
