Chapter 1211

Guisu followed her steps a bit clumsily.

Just now, in the end, he still couldn’t bear it, he used his own sleeve to wipe her sweat.

He never knew he could be so soft-hearted…

Perhaps it was because after hearing the bell earlier, Baili Xia was delayed for so long.

Exiting the dining hall, just entering the lobby, they happened to encounter several people coming out of the private elevator.

Sima Liuyue, Mu Lingchuan and Zimo, Ye Hua, and…

Uncle.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu, Baili Xia felt a jolt in her heart and instantly became somewhat flustered.

She had…

hit him last night.

Now, Uncle’s piercing gaze fell on her, and furthermore, it followed down to her hand…

“Eh?” Baili Xia looked down and almost let out a scream.

She, she was still holding onto Guisu’s sleeve, this…

this seemed rather improper, especially in front of Uncle…

She was just too anxious earlier and in the heat of the moment, disregarded everything else.

Baili Xia hurriedly let go of Guisu’s sleeve and walked over with her head down.

First, she greeted Mu Lingchuan, who was closest to her: “Big brother.”

Then turned her head towards Sima Liuyue on the other side and nodded: “Miss Sima, hello.”

And finally, no matter how nervous she was, she had to meet Mu Xiaojiu’s profound gaze: “… Uncle.”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t speak, but Sima Liuyue’s eyes fell on Guisu: “Do you know each other?”

Guisu remained silent, simply returning to her side and standing there quietly.

He did not respond to Sima Liuyue…

Baili Xia nearby couldn’t help but lift her head and stealthily glanced at him.

Guisu always stood behind Sima Liuyue with neither arrogance nor servility, quiet and silent like a sculpture.

And Sima Liuyue, as if she didn’t care at all about his hostile attitude.

Looking back at Mu Xiaojiu, she smiled gently: “Mr.

Xiaojiu, I’ll be leaving first then.

I will continue to have people investigate the matter from the other day.”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say a word, and Ye Hua took over: “Then we’ll have to trouble Miss Sima.”

Sima Liuyue nodded and turned to walk outside.

Mu Xiaojiu also turned and walked away, clearly not there to see off Sima Liuyue.

Probably, Sima Liuyue wasn’t worth his personal farewell.

He was heading out.

From the moment he saw Baili Xia until now, as he walked towards the lobby door, Mu Xiaojiu had not said a word to Baili Xia.

If it had been before, Baili Xia would definitely have felt stifled.

But, things are different now.

She…

was coming to understand that guy more and more.

“Big brother, Zimo, I’ll come find you at Feixue later.” After dropping these words, Baili Xia hurriedly chased after him.

The chauffeur had already driven the car to the plaza outside the lobby, waiting for Mu Xiaojiu and Ye Hua.

After the two walked out the revolving glass doors, Ye Hua went ahead first, taking the keys from the chauffeur’s hand.

Mu Xiaojiu took strides, about to head over, but the girl behind him took two quick steps and stepped forward, blocking his path.

“Uncle, you look unwell, are you sick?”

“Not at all,” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was hoarse as he tried to walk past her.

Yet Baili Xia grabbed his wrist and held on tightly, refusing to let go.

“Uncle, you look unwell, please don’t go out on errands. Why not go back and rest, okay?”

His face was not extremely pale, but there was a pallor beneath his eyes and on those thin lips.

It indicated that there was injury to the internal organs.

If it wasn’t an illness, then it must be internal injuries…

and quite severe ones at that!
