Chapter 1198

As soon as Baili Xia sat down, a servant quickly brought her breakfast.

There were few people at the breakfast today, and Mu Xiaoyao was a man of few words.

Moreover, after the family meeting, due to Ning Anran’s presence, interactions became somewhat awkward, so no one spoke at the table.

It was not until several people were about to finish their breakfast that the old master suddenly spoke.

“Xiaoyao, An Ran is also going to school today. You take her with you to school later.”

Mu Xiaoyao was just about to lift his coffee to drink, but upon hearing this, his hand froze mid-air.

“I and Xiaxia are enjoying our own company, I do not like to be disturbed.”

Without mincing words, Mu Xiaoyao outright refused.

Of course, this did not mean that Mu Xiaoyao was disrespectful to the old master, but rather, he would not force himself to do something he did not wish to.

He had not a single bit of fondness towards Ning Anran.

Upon hearing Mu Xiaoyao’s words, the faces of Baili Xia and Ning Anran both changed instantly.

Baili Xia, of course, felt incredibly embarrassed because of this blatant excuse.

Not to mention that the excuse was purely baseless; considering her previous relationship with Ning Anran, not being able to give her a ride to school and needing an excuse of wanting a world for two was truly awkward.

Action An Ran was also flushed with embarrassment, totally unprepared to be rejected directly like this.

“No, no need, the driver can take me, or if the driver is not available, I’ll take the bus to school,” she immediately said.

“Silly child, we’re halfway up a hill, where would you find a bus?”

The old master spoke, his words filled with affection.

Turning his face to look at Mu Xiaoyao, his eyes brimmed with displeasure.

Wanting to say something, but after thinking it over, he still chose not to speak.

“Never mind, I’ll have my driver take you later.”

“Okay,” Ning Anran nodded, stealing a glance at Mu Xiaoyao, only to realize he hadn’t even glanced this way.

This Brother Mu really is very cold.

Previously, when he interacted with Baili Xia, he seemed quite amiable, I thought he had a gentle side too.

Likewise, he’s smooth like Brother, always showing his gentle side to Baili Xia.

Towards others, especially those unrelated, he really is cold as an iceberg.

As soon as these words ended, Mu Ziying ran in from outside.

As soon as she entered, she shouted, “Quick, quick, bring up the food, there’s no time.”

She looked at the old master, stuck out her tongue, and called him grandfather.

After speaking, she hurried to the dining table and sat down across Baili Xia.

The servant, seemingly used to Miss Ziying’s energetic entrance, immediately added a new breakfast for her.

Mu Ziying then turned to look at Ning Anran sitting next to the old master, then at Baili Xia, feeling a rush of emotions.

But with grandfather present, she restrained herself from making a scene.

“Sister Ziying, do you also have class today?”

Looking at the still panting Mu Ziying, Baili Xia smiled.

Gulping down half a glass of milk in one breath and licking her lips, Ziying answered, “Yes, of course, I’m going to school.

Why else would I get up so early?”

“So early?

We’ve finished eating and are about to leave.”

“No, no, wait for me, I’ll finish eating soon.” Saying that, she looked at Mu Xiaoyao: “Brother, you’ll have to take me there later.”

Mu Xiaoyao did not even lift his head, he just nonchalantly ‘hmm’ an acknowledgment.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyao’s agreement, Mu Ziying finally relaxed and started hungrily eating the breakfast the servant brought.
