Chapter 1109

Ning Anran never really thought she could have Mu Xiaojiu; she knew she wasn’t worthy.

She merely hoped to occasionally steal a glimpse of him.

Even now, when he’s with Baili Xia, as long as he’s willing to pay her a little attention, she truly didn’t mind him wanting any other woman.

She had never thought about monopolizing him, even if it meant sharing him with other women, she was willing…

Thankfully, the servants started preparing Ning Anran early in the morning, and by now, they had almost finished.

In less than ten minutes, a group of servants, along with Leng Yu, escorted Ning Anran to the main house.

But what she didn’t expect was, just as they were about to reach the entrance of the Sihai Residence, she would still catch sight of that mesmerizing figure.

Mr.

Xiaojiu hadn’t left; he stood alongside Ye Hua, who was reporting something to him.

“According to what I’ve heard, she’s Miss Xiaxia’s friend, a very close one at that, and she seems forthright.

Right now, she’s in the back courtyard with Miss Xiaxia, chatting and laughing…”

“Are you certain this time it is truly a close friend?” Mu Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow, seemingly a bit skeptical.

“This time there’s absolutely no mistake. This Zimo, her relationship with Miss Xiaxia, it’s not something Ning Anran can compare to…”

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, his deep-set eyes pondering an unknown thought.

Ye Hua continued his report: “I heard that this morning at breakfast, Miss Xiaxia herself said that Zimo and Xiaoxiao are her best friends.”

“Was it Lingchuan who brought her here?” Mu Xiaojiu suddenly asked.

“Yes,” Ye Hua nodded.

“Prepare some gifts for her to send over, to let that girl know that the gifts were specially selected by me for her friend.”

After a moment’s thought, Mu Xiaojiu added a few more words: “Remember, pick something nice. Let her know she’s welcome to visit the Sihai Residence whenever she has the time…”

Mu Xiaojiu got into the car and hadn’t come out since.

Ye Hua called over a few servants, instructing them to be polite whenever they saw Zimo from now on.

After all the instructions were given, he finally got into the car and drove away.

It wasn’t until the car had completely disappeared that Ning Anran came back to her senses.

“Miss An Ran, Mr. Xiaojiu has left. Let’s go,” reminded Leng Yu.

Just now, when Mr.

Xiaojiu was standing outside the gate, she had been afraid that Miss An Ran might accidentally anger Mr.

Xiaojiu again, so she had everyone wait here.

Now that Mr.

Xiaojiu had left, it was naturally time for them to leave.

Ning Anran didn’t say a word and walked out of the Sihai Residence with them.

While walking along the central floral path of the front courtyard, she couldn’t help but look back a few more times.

Those three characters of ‘Sihai Residence’ gleamed with a golden light under the sun.

Such beautiful, such enviable three characters!

But no matter what, in the end, she still had to leave.

Perhaps, when Mr.

Xiaojiu is no longer angry, she might have another chance to return…

As the group was approaching the main hall, they happened to encounter Baili Xia and Zimo returning from the back courtyard.

The sight of these two soured Ning Anran’s hard-won composure in an instant.

Tears hid within her eyes; she forcibly turned her head away and strode towards the main hall.

She had thought that after Baili Xia and Zimo had done such a thing that wronged her, they would at least feel a bit guilty for her sorrow.

Yet, as she entered, she saw Baili Xia leading Zimo, pleasantly welcoming Mu Xiaoyao who came out from inside.

“Brother, is it time to go?” Baili Xia’s face was all smiles, clearly in a good mood, especially because of the bracelet on her right wrist.

“Let’s go,” Mu Xiaoyao slung his backpack over his shoulder.

Mu Lingchuan also came out from behind him, carrying a briefcase.
