Chapter 1574

In the room, Baili Xia and Mo were eating the bird’s nest porridge brought by the servants.

Although Baili Xia was no longer Miss Sun of the Mu family, there was not a single person in the entire Mu family who didn’t know she was the favored one by the young master.

Moreover, her engagement banquet with Mr.

Mu would probably be held soon.

Thus, she was not only the little lady doted on by the young master but also the future second young mistress of the Mu family.

The servants treated her with even more respect than they did Ning Anran.

Never mind a few servings of bird’s nest porridge, even if Miss Xiaxia wanted to eat human meat, they would probably find a way to get it for her.

Mo’s appetite had been exceptionally good lately, probably due to pregnancy.

Four meals a day, not one fewer.

The bird’s nest porridge at this point was fragrant and smooth; the two of them were eating it with great gusto.

When the door was knocked, the two bowls of bird’s nest porridge were just about finished.

Mo hadn’t had time to speak when someone outside pushed the door open and came in.

Seeing Mu Lingchuan at this moment, Mo already felt uneasy.

After seeing the man walking in behind him, not only did she feel uneasy, but even her fingertips tensed up.

Mr.

Xiaojiu…

Mr.

Xiaojiu actually appeared with Mr.

Mu!

Xiaxia had said that Mr.

Xiaojiu knew that the child in her belly was Mu Lingchuan’s…

Mo looked at Mu Xiaojiu, her eyes filled with a defensive aura.

But Mu Xiaojiu, from the moment he entered, had eyes only for his own woman.

He had no interest in other people or women outside of Baili Xia.

“Uncle…” Baili Xia stood up, looked at him, then turned to give Mo a glance.

Seeing Mo’s eyes full of defensiveness, she was taken aback and instinctively wanted to say something to comfort them.

Whatever Uncle promised to do, he would definitely fulfill.

He said he wouldn’t say anything within three days, so he definitely wouldn’t.

Of course, she believed in Uncle, but Mo and Uncle weren’t familiar, and Mo didn’t understand him.

It was also normal that Mo didn’t dare to completely trust.

However, with Mu Lingchuan here, she couldn’t bring herself to persuade her.

So she lightly tugged at Mo’s sleeve, signaling her not to worry too much.

Mo didn’t speak, only as the two men entered and approached them, she quietly called, “Mr. Mu, Mr. Xiaojiu.”

Mu Lingchuan stared at her, not speaking.

But Mu Xiaojiu looked at Baili Xia: “Girl, do you still owe me something, a debt yet to be repaid?”

Mo immediately turned back to look at Baili Xia, her face darkening: “Xiaxia, don’t be afraid, I’ve saved some money, I…”

“That’s not what Uncle meant, you’re overthinking,” Baili Xia immediately interrupted her.

These messy relationships, she really didn’t know how to explain.

Not to mention, with Mu Lingchuan here, she didn’t want him to know she owed Uncle money.

Baili Xia held Mo’s hand, gently patting the back of it.

With a small smile on her delicate face: “Uncle is just joking, I…”

She thought for a moment, then said cryptically: “Didn’t Uncle promise today to help me…

us keep a secret?

I promised to help him with something as repayment.”

“Xiaxia…”

“In short, it’s just a joke.” Baili Xia blinked, trying hard to comfort her.

Who knew that behind her, Mu Xiaojiu’s indifferent voice would come.

“Who’s joking with you? Now, it’s time to repay the debt.”

He turned around and started walking out the door.

Baili Xia stared anxiously at his retreating figure.

She really wanted to smack him hard on the head!

This guy, how could he be so inflexible?
