Chapter 1624

Although Mu Xiaoyao always felt that this girl was acting strangely today.

However, it might just be because too many things happened yesterday, and her mind hasn’t completely processed it yet.

Chatting with Zimo might clear her mood.

Mu Xiaoyao nodded lightly, as if about to say something, when suddenly his phone rang.

He reached out to take out his phone, looked at the caller ID, and his brows instantly furrowed.

He glanced at Baili Xia and said lightly, “You go ahead, I’ll come find you later.”

After speaking, he turned around, walked to the side of the road, and answered the call.

Brother called, he never deliberately avoids her…

Baili Xia watched his figure, her eyebrows knitting.

This phone call is definitely very, very important, could it be…

Uncle?

Not daring to think much, at times like this, overthinking is of no benefit.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyao didn’t stop her, Baili Xia also didn’t delay further and immediately headed back to the main house.

Entering the main house, she went straight up to the second floor, to Zimo’s room, and knocked on the door.

Fortunately, Zimo was still inside.

Zimo opened the door and upon seeing it was Baili Xia, was slightly taken aback.

“Xiaxia, what brings you here?”

Baili Xia noticed Zimo holding a coat, seemingly about to put it on and go out.

She frowned, a bit anxious in her heart, “You’re going out?”

Zimo nodded slightly and said softly, “Just got a call from Mr.

Mu, he wants me to accompany him to handle something.”

“Isn’t today your day off?

Why is he still taking away your personal time?”

As soon as she spoke, Baili Xia realized she had misspoken.

Zimo is Mu Lingchuan’s personal bodyguard, where is there any private time?

Moreover, Zimo’s attitude towards Mu Lingchuan is absolutely at his beck and call.

But, Zimo is pregnant, how can Mu Lingchuan always let her go out, isn’t he afraid something might happen?

However, Mu Lingchuan didn’t know about Zimo’s pregnancy.

This, really can’t be blamed on him.

Baili Xia’s words, Zimo didn’t take them to heart; she just softly asked, “Did you need me for something?”

Baili Xia nodded heavily, “Zimo, can you stay and help me with something?”

Zimo became noticeably anxious, grabbing Baili Xia’s hand and asking, “Xiaxia, did something happen to you?”

Yesterday’s events hadn’t yet eased Zimo’s worries.

Now, hearing Baili Xia speak to her so seriously, she immediately thought along those lines.

“Is it the Mu family treating you badly? Are they trying to frame you again?”

Baili Xia was momentarily stunned, unable to respond.

Zimo got so nervous over a single sentence from her, it warmed her heart slightly.

She gently shook her head, looked at Zimo, and smiled, “It’s nothing, just hoping you could lend me some of your time today.”

“Lend your time?” A hint of surprise flashed across Zimo’s face.

“Yes.”

…

Zimo called Mu Lingchuan to say she wasn’t feeling well, asking him to handle things on his own.

She stayed behind, accompanying Baili Xia.

This was one of the very rare occasions since following Mu Lingchuan that she didn’t listen to him.

Mu Lingchuan didn’t make it difficult for her and hung up after agreeing, his attitude towards Zimo was actually quite good.

Baili Xia stayed in Zimo’s room, the two chatting aimlessly, not knowing how long they talked for.

In reality, the chat was just a front, mostly they were waiting, waiting for the person who would come looking for Baili Xia…

After finishing the call, Mu Xiaoyao indeed came.
