Chapter 1066

Mr.

Xiaojiu rarely allowed work-related issues to affect his mood, but today, his disposition was clearly somewhat heavy.

Not until Mu Xiaojiu and Ye Hua were out of sight did Mu Xiaoyao and Nangong Xu leave the lounge area of the main hall to look for Baili Xia.

Ye Hua’s room was diagonally across from the apartment, next to Mu Xiaoyao’s room.

But this time, he didn’t enter his own room.

Instead, he followed Mu Xiaojiu into Mu Xiaojiu’s room.

Mu Xiaojiu put the laptop on the desk and immediately turned it on, getting back to work.

Ye Hua, however, stood quietly behind him the whole time, not speaking or leaving.

“You know I’m very busy,” Mu Xiaojiu said indifferently, without even turning his head.

“I know,” Ye Hua responded in a muffled voice.

It wasn’t just Mr.

Xiaojiu who was busy; he himself had plenty to attend to, only…

He sneaked another glance at Mr.

Xiaojiu’s back, who continued working quietly, seemingly without a worry.

Ye Hua felt even more uneasy, unsure whether he should bring up the topic.

“Speak if you have something to say; otherwise, get out,” Mu Xiaojiu said, annoyed by his presence.

His mood was already not great, and here he was, hesitating.

Was there really nothing else to do?

Ye Hua’s expression turned serious.

With Mu Xiaojiu speaking so directly, how could he dare delay?

Staring at his back, now colder than usual, Ye Hua took a deep breath before finally speaking softly.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, about Miss Wen’s call this morning…”

Feeling Mu Xiaojiu’s entire body stiffen in an instant, Ye Hua knew his words were about to be unwelcome.

But he had to speak out!

“Mr. Xiaojiu, this time… the sir seems to have really been angered,” he said apprehensively.

Miss Xiaxia’s move to the island was something they knew couldn’t remain hidden forever.

Now, surely enough, the sir had learned about it and, as expected, was intervening.

Mr.

Xiaojiu had many secrets on this island, this being the heart of his entire career.

It really wasn’t a place just anyone could enter.

Even if they could enter, it wasn’t a place just anyone could roam freely.

Even the brothers on the island had limited areas of movement, none fully free.

But now, Mr.

Xiaojiu clearly treated Miss Xiaxia as someone he trusted the most, allowing her to move about the island as she pleased.

The sir’s intervention in this matter was absolutely to be expected.

Especially given Miss Xiaxia’s identity…

“You don’t need to worry about this matter, just attend to your own duties,” Mu Xiaojiu finally replied calmly, after a long silence.

Ye Hua still gazed at his back, filled with unease, “Mr.

Xiaojiu, should I meet with the sir and explain the situation properly?”

“Explain?” Mu Xiaojiu laughed, a cold laugh that held a clear note of helplessness beneath the ice.

“How would you explain? Would you say bringing her here had a different purpose, or that I have my own arrangements? Do you think he would not want to fully intervene?”

Ye Hua said nothing, nor did he dare to.

Those were matters for the masters, and even if Mr.

Xiaojiu regarded him as a brother, there were times, on certain issues, when he dared not overstep his bounds.

Especially on matters like these.

As he remained silent, Mu Xiaojiu also fell silent, and the room quickly quieted down again.

Beneath the quiet, a deathly stillness flowed throughout.

Eventually, it was Ye Hua who could no longer hold back and continued to speak, “The sir will not let this go.”

Truthfully, on this matter, he felt the sir was right.

After all, the presence of Baili Xia and the child was not necessarily a good thing for Mr.

Xiaojiu.
