Chapter 1113

About fifteen minutes passed, and Mu Xiaoyao suddenly stood up.

The program was completed neither too late nor too early, naturally, he had deliberately controlled the time very well.

The fifteen minutes Nangong Xu mentioned had finally passed.

He glanced at the time at the bottom right corner of the laptop, then at Baili Xia’s face, something flickered in his eyes.

“I’ve set the question for you, work on it yourself. If you need anything, come find me, I’ll be in my room all night.”

He walked over, picked up his watch from the coffee table, and put it back on his wrist.

Glancing at Baili Xia one more time, he picked up the empty medicine bowl and strode off.

Baili Xia couldn’t see through him at all, feeling that Brother was especially strange tonight, yet she couldn’t pinpoint what was odd.

All mysterious, what was he plotting?

She sat down in front of the laptop, intending to crack his program.

But for some reason, her neck felt a bit itchy, though it wasn’t very itchy.

She scratched it a couple of times, and the itchiness finally passed.

She then focused on the program, working hard to solve it.

Seeing her completely engrossed, Mu Xiaoyao, who was standing by the door, quietly closed it and returned to his own room.

Nangong Xu was still waiting there, next to the man who had made Baili Xia feel stifled for the entire two days.

“The medicine has been drunk,” Mu Xiaoyao returned the bowl to Nangong Xu.

“Are you sure this medicine works?

I waited fifteen minutes just now before coming out, and I saw that her neck did have a bit of red marks.”

“My medicine, you doubt?” Nangong Xu glanced at him indifferently.

Mu Xiaoyao fell silent, his gaze then shifted onto Mu Xiaojiu’s face: “Uncle, about tomorrow…”

“Just do as I said. As for tomorrow, you guys can manage it on your own, it’s not convenient for me to go there without reason.”

Mu Xiaojiu stood up and walked towards the door.

Nangong Xu picked up the bowl, grabbed his briefcase and followed behind him, departing as well.

Mr.

Xiaojiu had only just returned, coming here first to find Mu Xiaoyao.

He was travel-weary and hadn’t even eaten.

Passing Baili Xia’s room, Mu Xiaojiu still paused.

He stared at the door for a moment, then hurriedly headed towards the staircase.

It seemed Uncle wasn’t planning to see that girl tonight.

Watching him walk away, Mu Xiaoyao sank into deep thought for a moment, and only after their figures disappeared did he turn back to his room.

Uncle had been busy with his own matters recently and had not talked about the engagement party.

However, he was certain that Uncle would find a way to handle it.

Indeed, Uncle had hurried back tonight just to resolve this.

But Uncle was never one to explain things, perhaps that girl was still feeling upset to this moment.

Falling in love truly was troublesome, not only was it time-consuming and energy-draining, but it also required consideration for the other’s feelings.

Even Uncle, so adept, may not handle these relationships well, let alone him?

Therefore, it’s better to stay away from women, these creatures.

Touching his nose, Mu Xiaoyao walked to his desk, opened the laptop, and browsed the news.

Within just a dozen minutes, there was a knock on his door.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, with a light smile involuntarily appearing at the corner of his lips.

This girl was indeed promising, taking only a dozen minutes, half the time he had estimated.

Such a good protégé, under his meticulous teaching, would surely become remarkable over time.

He wondered if Uncle had noticed this talent yet?
