Chapter 1250

“Got dumped?” Baili Xia stood stupefied, as the man who had been watching from a distance for quite some time had already approached her.

Baili Xia pouted her lips and gave him a white look: “How come I detect a hint of schadenfreude?”

“Am I that bored?” Mu Xiaoyao picked up her handbag for her and turned to leave.

Baili Xia had no choice but to get up and follow his pace.

Walking in the winter wind, she felt not even a trace of chilliness, because there was a tall Brother by her side, shielding her from the wind and frost…

…

Nangong Xu was not there, at a crucial moment, he was actually not in the medical room.

Baili Xia panicked immediately, fearing most that he had left Jin City for Bei Miao beforehand.

The matter of going with him to Bei Miao, she had not yet had the chance to discuss with him.

Just thinking, the master was usually so easy to talk to, he should not refuse.

But she had never considered the possibility that he would leave early.

In her urgency, she accidentally burst into the main hall of Sihai Residence.

To her surprise, in the absence of her master, a certain man who should not have been there was now leisurely crossing his legs, elegantly reading a newspaper on the couch.

That silhouette…

Baili Xia gave it just a glance before immediately diverting her gaze.

She had been trying hard not to think about him, yet upon seeing him, her heart immediately started pounding.

Don’t think, can’t do it, seeing him, makes her yearn even more.

He’s simply a devastatingly seductive devil!

Why must he be so handsome when I’ve already decided to leave him behind!

Baili Xia didn’t know whether she was angry with herself or that man, but upon entering and seeing him sitting on the couch, she turned around to leave.

Outside, Ye Hua just so happened to come back.

Seeing Baili Xia coming out of the hall, Ye Hua still greeted her out of politeness: “Miss Xiaxia, what brings you here?”

Recently she had moved to live at school and didn’t even come back to the Mu family during weekends, let alone Sihai Residence.

This Sihai Residence had not seen her figure for a long time.

In the days without Miss Xiaxia, the brothers in Sihai Residence were truly living a bitter life.

Mr.

Xiaojiu always had a chilling aura, bringing bad luck to anyone who approached, but they couldn’t keep away either, for he was their boss after all.

“I’m looking for my master.” Baili Xia looked up to meet his eyes, “Where has my master gone?

He didn’t leave Jin City early, did he?”

“He…” A sharp gaze swept over, and Ye Hua immediately reined in his demeanor.

He changed what he originally wanted to say to this: “As for Xu’s schedule, I’m not usually aware. Probably… um, only Mr. Xiaojiu knows about it.”

Stealing a glance at the man standing behind Baili Xia, Ye Hua felt his scalp tingle.

Was it okay to say that?

He wouldn’t have said anything wrong, right?

“Only Uncle knows?” Now, Baili Xia was really in a bind.

Now the question was whether to ask Uncle or not.

Thinking over it, she’d rather go back and ask Brother for help inquiring.

With that thought, the depressed expression in her brow and eyes instantly relaxed: “I’ll take my leave.”

After greeting Ye Hua, she made to exit.

Ye Hua immediately felt a headache coming on, debating whether or not to remind Miss Xiaxia that Mr.

Xiaojiu was just behind her.

No…

first a chat, a little talk, spending some time together…

then leave?

Staying together even in broad daylight, it shouldn’t constitute the “together” their master talked about, right?

Even a little time would make Mr.

Xiaojiu happy after all.

God knows how bleak their lives had been recently?

The slightest mistake, and the punishment was absolutely terrifying.

When someone was in a bad mood, everyone had to suffer with him, being subordinates was truly miserable…
