Chapter 1064

It seemed as though, before the meteor shower had even arrived, the two of them had already warmed up to each other.

It was clear they both cared about one another; there was no need to continue the cold war.

Now was much better, wasn’t it?

“Meteors! Look quick!” Just before midnight, a bright streak of light dashed across the sky.

Baili Xia immediately raised her hands in front of her, closed her eyes, and whispered something to herself.

Mu Xiaojiu and Mu Xiaoyao who hadn’t gone down yet—one sitting and the other standing—quietly watched her.

They didn’t believe in making wishes, but seeing the girl’s earnest demeanor, they found it was quite impressive.

Wishing on shooting stars was just to deceive ignorant little girls.

Yet Baili Xia’s appearance inexplicably warmed their hearts.

Following the first meteor, the second and the third came swiftly…

Countless shooting stars continued to cross the sky’s expanse.

Mu Xiaoyao no longer hurried to depart and stood not far from the tent, alongside them, watching the sky’s meteor shower.

Although it wasn’t the first time he had seen a meteor shower, this time it seemed to be the most beautiful.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the years were quietly passing.

At that moment, he suddenly envied the couple in the tent.

Would life truly be more beautiful with a beloved partner?

But just the thought that women were synonymous with trouble snuffed out the spark that had begun to kindle.

Women, it was better to keep one’s distance.

…

During this period, Mu Xiaojiu had stayed on the island continuously, even bringing his work there.

With a few computers, he could complete almost ninety percent of his tasks.

As for those that required his presence, he postponed them whenever possible.

For the unavoidable ones, he would take a speedboat to shore and, once the matters were settled, immediately return.

Because here, he had his little woman, and in her belly, their baby.

But recently, Baili Xia often had a faint sense that something was not quite right in her body.

Her abdomen felt heavy, and she couldn’t pinpoint the problem.

She considered asking her master, but her master wasn’t specialized in gynecology and probably wouldn’t understand.

Fortunately, the discomfort didn’t last long; it was just an occasional heaviness in her stomach, which quickly passed.

Was this a normal part of pregnancy?

She had heard pregnancy could cause many inexplicable symptoms, and after searching online, she couldn’t find any conclusive answers.

Lately, Nangong Xu had been consistently nourishing her, and her complexion looked even better than before.

Radiant and rosy, one couldn’t tell there was anything amiss.

Thus, her intention to see a doctor had been delayed.

Mu Xiaojiu had left the island early this morning to attend a very important meeting.

Originally, he said he would be back by noon, but the unresolved issues extended the meeting time.

After lunch, Baili Xia went to sleep as usual.

But today her abdomen was aching slightly, and she woke up naturally after just over an hour.

She walked out of the apartment hall to find it empty.

Nangong Xu was nowhere to be seen, and Mu Xiaoyao did not expect her to wake up so early; he was still training with his brothers.

Feeling bored and unable to wait for Mu Xiaojiu, Baili Xia stayed in the apartment for a while then put on a light jacket and went out.

Leaving the rest area and crossing the square ahead, she soon saw the figures of the men in training.

“Miss Xiaxia,” greeted a brother who approached her with a friendly nod.

Baili Xia nodded back, and after he walked away, she continued forward.
