Chapter 1197

Because she had to go to school today, Baili Xia got up earlier than usual.

It should be said that she didn’t sleep well last night either.

She woke up several times, startled by nightmares.

In her dreams, it was all about the matters related to Bai Yang and Uncle.

And, she actually…stabbed a knife into Uncle’s heart in the dream.

Waking up from the nightmare, drenched in cold sweat when she opened her eyes.

Feeling restless, Baili Xia simply got out of bed and didn’t try to sleep again.

After washing up, she habitually arrived at the dining room early to have breakfast.

Just as she entered the dining room, she caught sight of Ning Anran sitting next to Sir Mu.

Baili Xia paused for a moment before remembering that after what happened yesterday, everything had changed.

She was no longer the Miss Mu; it was Ning Anran now.

Sitting with Sir Mu to have breakfast…felt somewhat awkward.

However, she quickly came back to her senses.

After glancing at Ning Anran and greeting Sir Mu, she went to sit next to Mu Xiaoyao.

Surprisingly, Mu Xiaoyao was also up early, already at the dining table today.

Could it be because he was worried that she would feel awkward facing Sir Mu and Ning Anran by herself?

All of a sudden, her heart felt warm, and her mood considerably improved.

So what if she was no longer the Miss Mu?

She still had Uncle and Brother, which was wonderful.

Sir Mu didn’t glance at her from beginning to end, probably because after the family meeting, clearly Ning Anran had replaced her in Sir Mu’s heart.

No, it should be said, after the truth came out.

But Baili Xia didn’t care about these.

The appearance of this relationship was completely unexpected, and now that it’s gone, it just means returning to the way things were before.

Moreover, without the constraint of this identity, it might even make being with Uncle easier in the future.

As she thought about it, the corners of her lips unconsciously lifted into a smile.

“What are you smiling about?” A faint voice came from beside her.

Baili Xia turned her head to look at the man who did not shift his gaze, noticing that he was stuffing a piece of bread into his mouth, and she smiled lightly.

“It’s nothing, the weather is nice today.”

After a pause, she asked, “Where’s Uncle? Why haven’t I seen him come down for breakfast?”

Basically, Baili Xia had regarded last night’s event as an accident.

An accident that can be brushed off.

She and Uncle had been through so much; they can’t let such an incident overturn everything from the past.

Giving herself more confidence is also giving him more trust; they will definitely get better.

Mu Xiaojiu usually gets up very early.

Most of the time, whenever he comes down for a meal, he’s early in the dining room, sometimes having tea or reading the newspaper, presenting the lifestyle of an elderly person.

But today, he was nowhere to be seen.

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at her indifferently: “He’s gone out.”

“Oh.” Baili Xia nodded and asked no further.

Baili Xia always felt that Uncle Mu Xiaojiu being so leisurely here in the morning, drinking tea, reading the newspaper, and having meals, surely wasn’t the norm.

Someone like Uncle, a significant figure with such a vast enterprise and daily responsibilities, must indeed be busy.

Just like the eldest brother, Mu Lingchuan, it’s rare to see him at breakfast, now that’s normal.

It’s just that…after last night’s dispute, she really wanted to see him very much.

Even if they don’t talk after meeting, just seeing him would be good.

Not seeing him always leaves her feeling uneasy…
