Chapter 1102

Baili Xia never expected that after thinking about calling Zimo early in the morning last night, she would actually see Zimo himself in the second-floor corridor this morning.

Zimo was still Zimo, seemingly no different from usual, but why did it feel like there was something slightly off about seeing him today?

However, that wasn’t the most important thing.

The important thing was…”Zimo, how come you’re here?”

“I…” Zimo met her gaze, completely unable to explain.

She was never good at lying, much less lying in front of Xiaxia.

Last night, she followed Mr.

Mu back to the Mu family’s home in a daze.

No, it shouldn’t be said to be last night; it was already three o’clock in the morning when they arrived.

She thought that Mr.

Mu would at least arrange a room for her after arriving here, but he unexpectedly let her sleep directly in his room.

If she hadn’t insisted on sleeping on the couch, Mr.

Mu…

even wanted her to sleep in his bed…

In any case, now that she sees Baili Xia, she just feels guilty and can’t voice it out.

She didn’t want to lie to her, but those things absolutely must not be let known to her.

“Xiaxia, why are you up so early? Do you have classes today?” Suddenly, a somewhat hoarse male voice came through.

From the sound of it, the owner of the voice didn’t sleep very well last night, with a hint of grogginess in his tone.

“Mr. Mu.” Zimo turned stiffly and softly called out.

“Big Brother, you… Zimo… you guys…” Baili Xia looked at Zimo and then at Mu Lingchuan.

Did they…

just come out of the same room?

Then, Zimo and Big Brother…

“I… it’s not…” Zimo had no idea how to explain, and her face instantly turned beet red.

Mu Lingchuan was a bit helpless — this girl’s face was just too thin, and she couldn’t hide her emotions at all.

At this rate, she would reveal everything before he even had a chance to spill the beans.

“Last night, I went out with Zimo to entertain a client, and it got late. The club was close to the Mu family’s home, so I brought Zimo back here.”

Under Zimo’s nervous gaze, Mu Lingchuan kept a calm demeanor throughout.

He looked at Baili Xia, his eyes shimmering with a sly glint.

“I was originally going to let Zimo sleep with you, but when I came back and saw your door tightly closed, I remembered that Xiaoyao might…”

“Big Brother, it’s Zimo’s first day at the Mu family’s home; I don’t know if she’ll be uncomfortable. I’ll take her downstairs to find something to eat.”

Baili Xia immediately took Zimo’s hand and hurried downstairs.

She didn’t know if it was nerves or guilt, but she’d almost forgotten what she had said.

Zimo, being led by her, still couldn’t help but turn to glance back at Mu Lingchuan.

Mr.

Mu is so impressive, even if she didn’t understand what he meant just now, it seemed that Xiaxia was no longer going to probe.

Mu Lingchuan’s gaze also fell on her, a look she couldn’t decipher.

As their eyes met, Zimo immediately averted her gaze and followed Baili Xia downstairs.

Last night, everything felt like a dream.

Why did it feel like she was still dreaming after waking up?

In the future, she will still be entangled with Mr.

Mu…

the thought alone was aggravating.

After the two girls went downstairs, looking at the deserted stair entrance, Mu Lingchuan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Why does this girl always seem ready to flee from his side?

Is he not handsome enough, or is his charm not sufficient?

Why doesn’t she react like other girls, who light up at the sight of him?

Living for twenty-five years, Mr.

Mu Lingchuan began to doubt his charm for the first time.
