Chapter 1084

Ning Anran stood up with a pale face, glanced at the old master, and then immediately looked at Mu Xiaojiu, her voice trembling.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, it’s really just a misunderstanding.

Please, don’t take it to heart.

If you don’t like me staying at Sihai Residence, I…

I will move out immediately.”

“I’ll move back to school, it’s okay, I’ll move out right now, I’m going to pack up now.”

She then abruptly turned back to look at the old master beside her, her voice hoarse, and she choked before she whispered.

“Grandpa, thank you for taking care of me these days. I have no way to repay you. I will work hard to repay you later. I’m leaving now.”

She turned around and immediately ran towards the entrance of the hall.

The old master panicked, stood up too, and wanted to chase after her, but the girl was already far away.

He immediately glanced at Feng Gang, his expression anxious.

Feng Gang nodded and quickly chased after her.

Don’t look at his age being over sixty, but when he walks, he is faster than most people.

How could Ning Anran outrun him?

I don’t know what they said outside, but with Feng Gang going out, the old master finally felt relieved.

He sat back down and looked at Mu Xiaojiu, who was still unaffected and sipped his chrysanthemum tea, and grunted heavily.

“What exactly are you trying to do? Making such a young girl feel so embarrassed.”

But Mu Xiaojiu was looking at the cup of chrysanthemum tea, seemingly lost in thought.

Just as the old master was about to speak again in anger, he suddenly said calmly, “The days we’ve known each other are short, we still need to understand more, what’s the rush?”

He put down the cup, stood up, and looked down at the old master: “I’ve been busy outside all day, I’m a bit tired, I am going to rest now.”

The old master wanted to say something else, but seeing the fatigue truly showing between his brows, he finally swallowed his words.

Just as he said, they hadn’t known each other for long, and maybe he was also being too anxious.

But listening to Xiaojiu’s words, it seemed he wasn’t against the idea, just that he didn’t want to rush.

His heart settled even more now, and a smile returned to his face.

“You’re tired, go back and rest.

Also, go and comfort that girl, she is heartbroken because of you.”

“Okay.” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

But after only a step, he stopped and turned his head toward Baili Xia sitting beside him.

Baili Xia wasn’t looking at him, just staring at the teapot in front of her, gripping tightly, seemingly lost in thought.

Mu Xiaojiu said indifferently, “You and Xiaoyao have been out for so long, just got back, you must be tired, go rest early too.”

Baili Xia looked up to meet his gaze, her lips moved slightly, hesitated to speak.

Mu Xiaojiu still smiled lightly, “Whatever it is, we can talk tomorrow.”

Then he looked at Mu Xiaoyao, his gaze flickering slightly, “Aren’t you tired?

Why don’t you take her back to rest now?”

“I know, Uncle, I’ll take her back to rest now.” Mu Xiaoyao also stood up and nodded at him.

Mu Xiaojiu then left, and soon, the tall figure disappeared from everyone’s sight.

Mu Ziying also felt a bit bored, or maybe it wasn’t boredom but something inexplicable, feeling like the atmosphere tonight was a bit off.

Uncle, Xiaxia, Brother, Ning Anran…

But she couldn’t pinpoint what was off.

She yawned and stood up, looking at the old master, “Grandpa, I’m going to rest too. See you tomorrow.”
