Chapter 1559

“She’s not your slave, can’t you speak a bit nicer?” Baili Xia was truly angry.

Zimo hurriedly tugged on Baili Xia’s clothes and spoke to her in almost a whisper.

“Don’t say that, it’s not Mr.

Mu’s fault.”

Mu Lingchuan looked embarrassed again, glancing at Mu Xiaojiu, he pleaded, “Uncle, what’s going on with Xiaxia?

I shouldn’t have…

offended her, right?”

Why does it seem like she has a stomach full of complaints against me?

The way she looks at me, it’s like she wants to tear me apart.

Mu Xiaojiu just glanced at Baili Xia indifferently, indicating he didn’t know either.

Although he roughly guessed what was going on in his mind, he also knew there must be some concern since Baili Xia didn’t speak up herself.

“Okay, okay, I’ll speak more nicely.” Mu Lingchuan smiled helplessly at Baili Xia.

This girl is my Uncle’s treasure; there’s no good outcome if she gets upset with me.

He then turned to Zimo, his tone gentler this time.

“If there’s anything in the future, could you let me know first, Miss Zimo?”

Zimo felt a tightness in her heart and quickly waved her hand urgently, “Mr.

Mu, don’t speak like that, just like usual is fine.”

“I had some personal matters these past few days, so I went out.

Sorry, I’ll let you know in advance next time.”

This overly polite Mr.

Mu felt so strange; she wasn’t used to it at all.

Mu Lingchuan straightened his expression and finally got serious, speaking softly, “Is there anything you need my help with?”

Zimo shook her head and didn’t speak further.

“If there’s anything you need, just let me know; as a boss, I need to care for my subordinates.”

After speaking, Mu Lingchuan gently patted Zimo’s shoulder.

Zimo’s heart tightened again, and she stood up straight, her body stiffening.

Ever since that incident, whenever they had any physical contact, her body would tense up.

Even Mu Lingchuan was well aware of this, but there was nothing he could do.

Until now, he hadn’t thought of a better way for this girl to accept him.

Every time he got close, she would resist strongly, as if she were covered in thorns.

Could it be that another intimate encounter is needed to truly get back to how things were?

Looking at Zimo again, Mu Lingchuan’s heart softened a bit.

This girl’s skills are good, and she’s straightforward, but just a little dull.

“Let’s go, there’s something I need to take you out for.” He said lightly.

“Uncle, I’m leaving now.”

He nodded to Mu Xiaojiu and turned to walk toward the lobby door.

Zimo glanced at Baili Xia and Xiaoxiao, then quickly followed.

Seeing Zimo leaving with Mu Lingchuan, Xiaoxiao also needed to get back to work.

“Xiaxia, I’m heading back to work too.

I took the morning off, and there are a lot of scenes to shoot.

I’m going to get scolded by the director when I return.”

Baili Xia forced a smile and said softly, “Alright, you better go, my rising star.”

Xiaoxiao let out a charming hum at Baili Xia, then nodded to Mu Xiaojiu and turned to walk outside the lobby.

Her crew was filming at the film city, and her colleagues should be there by now.

Because of Zimo’s issue over the past few days, a lot of work had been left undone.

If she doesn’t go soon, the director will really start scolding people.

Everyone had left, leaving only Mu Xiaojiu and Baili Xia in the lobby.

“Where do you plan to go?” Mu Xiaojiu asked lightly.

Baili Xia gently shook her head, “I don’t know.”

Others have work to do, and even though she was Mu Lingchuan’s nominal assistant, she didn’t really have anything to do.

Nominal, indeed just a title.
