Chapter 1553

After a while, the waitress finally snapped back to reality from the shock that the man in front of her gave her.

Now she managed to remain quite calm and led them to a table by the window.

“Mr. Mu, please have a seat, I’ll bring the menu over.”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded slightly.

After the waitress left, he looked at Baili Xia.

“You all can sit here and chat, I’ll wait for you over there.”

Without waiting for her response, he walked directly to a table by another window far away and sat down.

Baili Xia understood that Uncle was giving them space so the girls could have a good heart-to-heart talk.

Watching Mu Xiaojiu’s departing figure, she felt deep gratitude for Uncle’s careful attention to her and her friends.

It seems that since she met Uncle, he has changed a lot.

He used to be so solitary and cold, but now he’s always thinking of her.

Especially after going through some things together, their bond seems to have deepened further.

However, Zimo and Xiaoxiao, looking at the figure of Mu Xiaojiu from afar, felt an inexplicable awe.

The legendary cold, ruthless Mr.

Xiaojiu now appeared to be a gentle, good-natured gentleman when it came to Xiaxia.

Even if they were slow to catch on, by now, they began to sense something unusual between Baili Xia and Mu Xiaojiu.

Today, instead of rushing over with Mu Xiaoyao, Xiaxia was accompanied by Mu Xiaojiu…

After Baili Xia, Xiaoxiao, and Zimo sat down, the waitress returned shortly.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu sitting separately from the three girls surprised her a bit.

She gave Baili Xia the menu to look over, then went to get another one for Mu Xiaojiu.

By the time she came back, Baili Xia and the others had already decided what to eat and placed their order.

This top-floor revolving restaurant was their first opportunity to visit.

Sitting dozens of floors up, they were surrounded by large glass windows.

The city’s view was unobstructed through the windows.

At an almost imperceptible rotating speed, usually after a few bites or a bit of conversation, the scenery outside would have changed.

“Xiaxia, Zimo, it’s truly beautiful here,” Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh.

In the past, she could only occasionally dream about one day dining here.

Today, it unexpectedly became a reality.

Baili Xia and Zimo nodded in agreement, sharing the same sentiment as Xiaoxiao.

Admiring the beautiful city scenery seemed to dispel the oppression accumulated all morning.

Seeing Zimo’s face gradually relax, Xiaoxiao secretly exchanged a glance with Baili Xia.

Baili Xia got the hint and reached out to hold Zimo’s hand.

She was just about to speak when Zimo beat her to it.

“Don’t ask me who I am. I won’t say.”

This matter was her mistake from the start and had nothing to do with anyone else.

If she told them the reason, it would be shifting the blame onto someone else.

She had no intention of doing that, nor did she want anyone’s reputation to suffer because of her problem.

He was a good person and shouldn’t bear all of this.

Baili Xia was momentarily stunned, swallowing back the words she wanted to say.

Though Zimo was cold, she was forthright in front of them.

Her tiny, expressionless face couldn’t hide much of her thoughts.

At that moment, Baili Xia could see through it with a glance.

Zimo didn’t hate the man who got her pregnant but couldn’t take responsibility.

She didn’t hate him, but why was there so little emotion in her eyes?
