Chapter 1644

Mu Xiaojiu looked at Baili Xia’s somewhat dazed eyes.

Watching so intently, like he was digging out the emotions hidden deep within her eyes.

After a moment, he smiled slightly.

“If I said it was for revenge, would you believe me?”

Baili Xia was slightly stunned, not expecting him to directly reveal the truth.

Although he looked like he was joking, she still nervously asked, “If you found me for revenge back then, can you now, for my sake, let go of this hatred?”

The smile on Mu Xiaojiu’s face instantly faded, his gaze turned cold.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

His voice wasn’t cold, but Baili Xia could feel that he was angry.

His attitude already indicated that he wouldn’t give up on revenge.

This hatred wasn’t something that could easily be resolved just because of her.

Could it be that not long from now, they have to be at each other’s throats, is there really no other way?

Since he wouldn’t give up on revenge, then she now…

can’t reveal herself!

Calming down, Baili Xia rubbed her temples, her voice softened.

“There have been too many things these days, I’ve been overthinking all day, maybe I’m getting paranoid.”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at her blandly, his gaze somewhat complex.

After a while, he said, “Don’t run around these days, just rest well at Xiaoyao’s place.”

Baili Xia nodded and replied, “I understand.”

Regardless of whether Uncle noticed anything, at least he didn’t press further.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, blaming herself for being too impulsive just now.

It seemed like both of them had something on their minds, and they didn’t say much during the meal.

After dinner, Mu Xiaojiu sent Baili Xia back to school, then immediately drove away.

…

Baili Xia stayed at Mu Xiaoyao’s apartment, and Mu Xiaoyao didn’t return to the Mu Mansion, staying to keep her company.

However, Baili Xia occupied Mu Xiaoyao’s comfortable and soft big bed, and Mu Xiaoyao could only squeeze onto the sofa every night.

In a flash, two days passed.

That morning, Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao were having breakfast in the living room.

Near the end of breakfast, Baili Xia suddenly said, “Brother, I want to go back for a while.”

Mu Xiaoyao looked up at her, his voice somewhat stern.

“No.”

“I have something important to do,” Baili Xia pleaded.

“What important thing could you have?”

“I…” Baili Xia looked like she wanted to speak but stopped.

Noticing her anxiety, Mu Xiaoyao softened a bit and asked.

“What exactly is it?”

Baili Xia gritted her teeth, like she was in an internal struggle.

After a long while, it seemed she made a big decision, looking at Mu Xiaoyao with a serious face.

“You have to promise me, you won’t tell anyone about this, including your Brother.”

“Then it’s better not to tell me,” Mu Xiaoyao said blandly, showing not the slightest interest in her so-called “secret”.

“…” Baili Xia was speechless for a moment, didn’t this person have any curiosity about her words at all?

Or was she acting too fake?

“Alright, I’ll say it, but please promise not to spread it around.” Reluctantly, Baili Xia had to back down.

“I want to go back to see Zimo, she…

she’s pregnant.”

Mu Xiaoyao was stunned, looking incredulous: “She’s pregnant?

Whose child?”

Zimo, he knew her too.

That girl was cold, not at all like a woman, who would have thought she’d be the first to upgrade to a mother.

The person who could win over such a girl was definitely no ordinary person, who on earth could it be?
