Chapter 1233

Nangong Xu was the last to arrive, and after he came, he even massaged her feet for quite a while.

He only left when he saw it was getting late.

By ten-thirty at night, Baili Xia should have been resting.

Even Zimo was sternly sent out by Mu Xiaoyao.

Everyone knew about the relationship between Mu Xiaoyao and Baili Xia, which had reached the point of being engaged, and everything that should or shouldn’t have happened, had already happened.

Even Zimo was helpless about this and could only let it be.

As long as Xiaxia is happy, that’s all that matters.

Moreover, it’s evident that the cold and aloof Mr.

Mu treats her well.

By nearly eleven o’clock, everyone who could leave had left, leaving only Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao in the room.

Lying on the bed, Baili Xia watched as Mu Xiaoyao pulled the quilt over her, then surprisingly, he sat down beside the coffee table and opened his laptop.

Baili Xia looked at him, her face full of surprise: “Brother, why haven’t you left?

It’s late, go back to sleep.”

“I’ll stay with you tonight.” Mu Xiaoyao didn’t even lift his head, still coding.

Baili Xia truly admired his intelligence; he wasn’t just a genius in this regard, he even had the ability to divide his attention between multiple tasks.

Even if he was coding while talking to her, the code written would still be error-free—tested and proven.

Such talents like Brother are indeed rare to come by in a century.

However…

“I don’t need your company, I’m going to sleep.”

What would he do here while she sleeps?

Is he planning to stay and sleep with her?

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t speak but still sat there, showing no intention of leaving at all.

“Brother…” Baili Xia looked at him, still wanting to persuade him to go back to his room to rest.

But, the guy was deliberately pretending not to hear her.

Baili Xia was a bit frustrated; she got up from the bed and glared at him.

This time she did it skillfully, not agitating her ankle.

After tossing and turning several times at night and enduring the pain, she had learned her lesson.

“Brother, how can I sleep if you stay here?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s fingertips paused, and his gaze solidified for a moment.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Baili Xia sighed in relief, thinking he was finally willing to go back to his own room.

But unexpectedly, Mu Xiaoyao reached the doorstep and then with a snap, turned off the room’s light.

That tall figure did not linger at the door for a second, instead, he sat back down beside the coffee table and continued working on the laptop.

“…” Baili Xia was left completely speechless.

Could it be that he thought she could sleep well just by turning off the light?

What she needed was silence…

No, solitude!

Does he understand?

She wanted to be alone.

“Even if I left, he… won’t come tonight.” Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyao’s voice sounded indifferently.

In the dim room, these words seemed particularly cold.

Baili Xia was stunned and took a while to react.

Maybe she had already realized it, but just didn’t know what to do.

Indeed, she didn’t know what to do.

Even if she was reluctant to admit it, she had to accept that wanting Mu Xiaoyao to return to his room was actually because she was still waiting.

Uncle…

Everyone had visited her today, only he hadn’t come.

Today, everyone was anxious about her situation, yet the person she most wanted to see, she waited and waited but couldn’t.

She wanted to say, “I wasn’t waiting for him” but how could she utter such a lie in front of Brother?

She lay back on the bed, clutching the corner of the blanket, staring at the pitch-black corner, with little luster in her eyes.
