"Jin'er, I like you."

The moment Sunset Clouds' deep voice rang out, Bai Jin felt as if there was nothing around him. The wind, birds, and dogs had all disappeared.

Sunset Clouds' low, serious, and slightly quiet, deep feeling of love could only echo in his ears.

"Jin'er, I think you know my feelings."

Bai Jin was astonished. She raised her head and looked blankly at Mu Yunji, not knowing how to react.

It was true that Sunset Clouds' previous actions had revealed some information, but at that time, Bai Jin didn't have any thoughts, so she didn't want to think about it.

However, she hadn't thought that Sunset Clouds would suddenly express his intentions so straightforwardly. For a moment, Bai Jin forgot to respond.

It was laughable to say that Bai Jin could be considered someone who had once 'married' her. In the years she had lived with Liu Yanlang, she had heard his sour and sweet words, but never once had she heard him say 'like'.

After an unknown amount of time had passed, Mu Yun saw that Bai Jin was still staring at him with a dumbfounded expression. He felt a hint of panic in his eyes. He suddenly took a step forward and said, "Jin, don't be afraid, I …"

"Don't …" The sudden reaction from Bai Jin was due to Sunset Clouds.

Indeed, the sudden confession had shocked Bai Jin.

She anxiously looked at Sunset Clouds. When she thought of her confession, her ears reddened. She quickly took two steps back and looked away, not daring to look at Sunset Clouds again.

She stuttered as she replied, "I … I don't have any other intentions towards you …"

Hearing the trembling in Bai Jin's voice and hearing her rejection, although Sunset Clouds had already expected it, he still couldn't help but feel upset and disappointed.

He wanted to go up to comfort Bai Jin, but seeing the look of panic on her face, he didn't dare to rush forward for fear of scaring her.

"I, I thank you for helping me …" Bai Jin was flustered and speechless in her heart. No matter what, she was still a virgin, and after being exposed, she was extremely anxious. She did not know how to react, and could only think of escaping.

Her eyes twinkled, and she turned to run.

Sunset Clouds' eyes darkened. He raised his leg and blocked the path of the white cloth.

Bai Jin was so frightened that his face turned pale. He took two steps back in panic and cried out, "What are you trying to do?!"

"…" Sunset Clouds' deep and bright eyes dimmed. He made his voice as gentle as possible and said, "Jin'er, don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."

Sunset Clouds had a gentle expression and his voice was as soft as water.

Bai Jin forced herself to calm down, but she didn't dare to look at Mu Yunji. She only averted her eyes and said, "You, get out of the way. I want to go home …"

When Sunset Clouds saw Bai Jin's reaction, he was obviously frightened by him. This was not his intention, so he let out a deep sigh in his heart. Sunset Clouds stepped aside, but his gaze remained gentle as he looked at Bai Jin.

"Jin'er, what I said was true, I …"

Sunset Clouds didn't say anything more and only looked at the white brocade with determination.

Bai Jin swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficulty. Seeing him step aside, she didn't care about anything else as she started running in the direction of her own house.

Looking at Bai Jin's running back, Sunset Clouds stared at her for a long time until she could no longer see her figure. Only then did Sunset Clouds retract his gaze.

He was too anxious. After all, he just got to know Bai Jin not too long ago and suddenly confessed …

But even so, Sunset Clouds did not regret what happened today.

Previously, Sunset Clouds and Bai Jin had nothing to do with each other, but now that they finally got to talk, he naturally had to seize this opportunity.

He liked the white brocade. From the first time he met the white brocade in the Da Qiu Village, he had liked it for two years.

Furthermore, after so much time had passed, Muyun's liking for Bai Jin only increased a little. Especially after all that had happened recently, Muyun's liking for Bai Jin's gentleness and tenacity even increased!

Therefore, he didn't regret it, nor would he give up.

He lowered his eyes to look at the white jade hairpin in his hand. His eyes darkened again as he placed the hairpin back into his pocket.

He couldn't be in such a rush to catch up with his wife.

Bai Jin ran back home, panting heavily. Just as Bai Shouyi was about to leave, he saw Bai Jin run back with a pale face and was startled.

"Sis, what happened to you?" Who dares to bully you? " Bai Shou Yi hurriedly went over to ask and suddenly thought of something. He furrowed his brows and asked, "Sis, did Big Brother Mu bully you?"

Bai Jin instinctively shook her head. She had already suppressed her shock during this entire journey, but her face was still pale because she had been in too much of a hurry to escape.

She lowered her eyes to look at Bai Shou and shook her head. For some reason, the image of Sunset Clouds' handsome face flashed through her mind. It seemed that his voice had also come to her ears, and was difficult to be eliminated.

Bai Shou Yi saw that Bai Jin's complexion was alternating between white and red, and he became even more puzzled. He only asked worriedly: "No? Then why do you look so bad? "

Bai Jin coughed lightly and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. I just came back too quickly."

Bai Shouyi glanced at Bai Jin doubtfully, but in his heart, he still trusted Mu Yun quite a bit. Otherwise, he wouldn't have replied to him.

The brother and sister duo chatted for a while before they heard Bai Shou Yi say that he wanted to go down the mountain and sell the firewood that Bai Shou Xin and him had chopped the past few days.

"Mom and dad go to the town to sell vinegar every day. I just want to go down the mountain and sell the firewood myself. Mom and dad can still rest for a while."

When Bai Jin heard that, the blush on his face slowly disappeared.

That's right, for the sake of this family, Bai Gaozhong and Madam Shen spent all their time outside to earn money, all for the sake of earning a little more money.

Furthermore, this was not the time for her to be thinking about such things. After some thought, Bai Jin said, "I'll go with you."

Bai Shouyi frowned. "Sis, you're not in a good condition. You should stay at home to rest. Don't worry, I won't tire you with those firewood."

She smiled, covered the tears in her eyes and gently said, "You want to do something for my family, I also want to, I also want to let my parents not be so tired, you can go down the mountain and sell firewood, I'll go take the embroidery that has been finished these few days to the town and see if it can be sold."

Bai Shouyi frowned when he heard this. Seeing that he was still worried, Bai Jin tried to persuade him again.

Bai Shouyi was the same as Bai Gaozhong and the Shen family. He had liked this sister since he was young and also felt sorry for her, so he had to listen to his sister's words.

Therefore, Bai Jin gave a few words of advice and Bai Shouyi agreed.

"Then, Sis, when we go down the mountain later, you have to follow me." Bai Shouyi said with concern.

Looking at Bai Shou's little lord, Bai Jin smiled and nodded, "Fine, I will follow you. Don't let me lose you."

The brother and sister duo teased each other for a while. Bai Shouyi went to pack up the firewood he wanted to sell, while Bai Jin went to pick up the embroidered wood.

Inside the room, Bai Jin opened the cabinet of the brick bed and took out a milky white satin cloth from the bottom layer of her clothes.

The silk cloth was not as good as the coarse cloth. Its texture and luster were better than those of the coarse cloth. When the market was brought out at the beginning of the year, Mrs Shen saw that the material was good, so she took some of the silk cloth and prepared to make a spring dress for the white brocade.

Now, due to her family's troubles, Mrs. Shen forgot. Bai Jin remembered the silk cloth and took it out for embroidery.

The creamy white satin cloth was cut by Bu Shi Shi. It was around the size of two palms and had a beautiful peony flower on the front. On the other side, it was actually a couple's emerald bamboo.

The embroidery was of two different styles. It was one of the rare two sides of embroidery.

After putting the handkerchief into his sleeve, Bai Jin walked out of the room and settled down with Bai Shouye's youngest son, Bai Shouxin, to keep an eye on the house.

Bai Shou Xin naturally wanted to follow him as well. However, because he was young, he could not be left alone at home. Thus, he had no choice but to stay at home.

After the brother and sister were settled down, Bai Shouyi carried the firewood on his back. The two of them had just walked out of the house for a short distance when they saw a carriage parked nearby.

A slender figure stood beside the carriage. Upon hearing the footsteps behind him, he turned around and looked at Bai Jin and Bai Shou Yi. He gently smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll send you guys off."
