Chapter 1625

After Mu Xiaoyao finished the call, he came knocking on the door twice.

However, each time he came, Baili Xia and Zimo seemed to be still engaged in their conversation, as if they hadn’t had enough.

There were also some cosmetics on the table, possibly discussing women’s topics.

Talking about such topics, even someone as cool as Mu Xiaoyao felt embarrassed to stay and listen.

By the third time he knocked on the door, he was already a bit impatient.

“Still not done talking?”

Baili Xia laughed and said, “Three women make a drama, the two of us can at least perform half. Brother, wait for me for two more hours, we’ll be done soon.”

Mu Xiaoyao’s mouth twitched involuntarily, two hours, and that’s considered quick?

After thinking for a moment, he still couldn’t help but say, “I’ll go back to the Sihai Residence and wait for you. You can come back yourself once you’re done.”

Women are troublesome, even chatting can last half a day, he really didn’t have the patience for it.

Over at the Sihai Residence, he still had some things to attend to.

Glancing at Baili Xia again, Mu Xiaoyao turned to leave.

Suddenly thinking of something, he turned back and added one more thing.

“One hour, if you’re not back, I’ll come to drag you back.”

“Got it, nagger.” Baili Xia pouted, rolling her eyes at him in complaint.

Mu Xiaoyao couldn’t be bothered with her, and finally turned to leave.

Until Mu Xiaoyao’s figure disappeared at the staircase, Baili Xia was still leaning by the door, staring blankly in that direction.

Although Brother was domineering, he felt like a small flame in the cold.

His way of speaking was just like that, obviously worried she’d be mistreated here, yet the words came out so harsh and cold.

But, why is he one of Uncle’s people?

Uncle’s people… she really couldn’t trust them right now.

It wasn’t until Zimo patted her on the shoulder that Baili Xia snapped back to reality.

“How about it, has he left?” Zimo asked.

Baili Xia nodded, and now she had to carry out her plan.

“I need to go out for a while, but Brother mustn’t find out I’m not here, do you have a way?”

Zimo didn’t respond, just looked at her, feeling a bit nervous inside.

“What are you going to do? Do you want me to come with you?”

Baili Xia avoiding Mu Xiaoyao like this really worried her, worrying she’d do something dangerous.

Even though she was pregnant now, in terms of skills, even with a child in her belly, she was still better than Baili Xia.

Baili Xia gently patted her hand, speaking softly, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing dangerous.”

Thinking about it, she added, “You just stay in the room, don’t let Brother find out I went out, I’ll be right back as soon as I’m done.”

“Really no danger?” This Mu family, though outwardly calm.

Even someone as simple-minded as Zimo could sense the vast undercurrents beneath that calm.

The undercurrents were surging, just not knowing when they’ll fully emerge.

Recently, even Mu Lingchuan had been very busy…

“Don’t worry, I’m just taking a walk and meeting someone here, what danger could there be?”

Baili Xia patted her shoulder, teasing her a bit.

“Is it true that after getting pregnant, one becomes sentimental?

You used to be never so fussy.”

“I’m just concerned about you?” Zimo rolled her eyes at her, really had no choice.

If not for her, she wouldn’t bother saying much.

“I know, I know, Zimo’s the best to me.”

Baili Xia pushed her, gently pushing her back into the room.

Seeing her close the door, Zimo looked amazed, “Weren’t you going out?”
