Chapter 134: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 07_1

In order to avoid meeting Mu Xiaoyao, Baili Xia silenced her ringtone and set her phone aside.

Ning Anran assumed it was a sales call and didn’t mind.

Baili Xia looked at her and continued their previous discussion, pretending that she never heard the call from Mu Ziying.

“Let me think about it.

In the afternoon, I have to talk to the counselor to reserve a booth.

Do you want to join me then?”

She picked up her chopsticks and slowly began to eat.

Ning Anran thought about it and nodded.

“If you decide to do it, I’ll definitely support you.

Just let me know if you need any help.”

“OK, it’s a deal.”

The afternoon classes passed quietly.

By the time Baili Xia and Ning Anran came out of the classroom, Mu Ziying was already waiting for them.

“You rascal, why didn’t you answer the phone when I called you at noon?” Mu Ziying glared at Baili Xia.

Baili Xia pouted, “I had it on silent, I didn’t hear it.”

“Xiaxia, I should go now.” After a soft smile towards Mu Ziying, Ning Anran looked at Baili Xia and said.

“Alright, be careful on your way back.”

“Let’s go, Brother is already waiting for us at the parking lot.”

After watching Ning Anran walk away, Mu Ziying looked at Baili Xia .

“Brother?

Why would he be here?”

Upon hearing the word “Brother”, Baili Xia couldn’t help feeling a bit tense.

“Yes, our big brother just called me and said he’s still busy with some matters, so we’ll be taking a ride with Brother on our way back.”

Unaware of Baili Xia’s change in demeanor, Mu Ziying took her hand and headed towards the parking lot.

“By the way, let me introduce you to Brother, I guess you haven’t met him yet, have you?”

“I…

no, of course not.” Trying to prevent Mu Ziying from finding out that Brother had looked for her this morning.

Baili Xia corrected herself quickly, “Okay, let’s…

let’s go find Brother together.”

“Don’t be afraid, Xiaxia.

Although Brother’s current impression of you may not be very favourable, I believe that he will start to accept you once he spends more time with you.”

While walking, Mu Ziying didn’t forget to look sideways at Baili Xia and comfort her.

Baili Xia remained silent, her mind filled with what happened in the restroom this morning.

She didn’t listen to what Mu Ziying said, she just nodded vaguely.

…

“Brother, this is Xiaxia, the one I’ve mentioned to you.”

After entering the back seat with Baili Xia, Mu Ziying voluntarily began to introduce her to Mu Xiaoyao.

Mu Xiaoyao remained silent, his indifferent eyes glanced at Baili Xia from the rear-view mirror, who was keeping her head down without a word.

There was no warmth to be found in his gaze.

Thinking that Baili Xia was feeling nervous upon meeting Brother due to their conversation earlier, Mu Ziying chose not to speak either.

She just lightly patted Baili Xia’s shoulder as a gesture of comfort, telling her not to panic.

Throughout the journey, the three of them remained silent.

The tension in Baili Xia’s heart slowly dissolved, after all, Mu Ziying was there.

She believed that Mu Xiaoyao wouldn’t do anything excessive to her at this point.

After getting out of the car, she saw Mu Xiaoyao going to the trunk to get something.

Baili Xia asked Mu Ziying to go ahead first, then when Mu Ziying walked a bit further, she approached Mu Xiaoyao and returned the check to him.

Although she was a bit nervous, she took a deep breath and spoke up.

“Here’s your check back.

Like I said, I won’t take your money.”

Mu Xiaoyao’s cold gaze fell on her face, his eyebrows slightly raised, “Is it not enough?”
