Chapter 1645

“Zimo didn’t want to say anything, maybe there’s something he can’t tell.” Baili Xia explained.

“You know the relationship between Zimo and me, I must go back and see how she’s doing now.”

“Brother, please help me, okay?”

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her plainly without speaking.

He knew Baili Xia and Zimo were close, but Baili Xia had just been kicked out of the Mu family by the old man.

If she goes back now and runs into the old man, it’s likely to be very troublesome.

He’s not concerned about other troubles; what he fears most is that after being provoked, this girl will be depressed for a long time again.

In the past few days, although she hasn’t said anything or mentioned it, she even keeps a smile on her face.

But in fact, he could tell that she wasn’t doing well at all.

Unhappy, even indescribably sad in her heart…

Going back again, would it make this sadness even heavier?

“Aren’t you afraid of being blamed by the old man?” he tentatively asked, his eyes still locked on her face, not missing any change in her expression.

“I’m not afraid.” Baili Xia shook her head, looking at Mu Xiaoyao sincerely.

“Brother will also protect me, right?”

Mu Xiaoyao did not respond, hesitating in his heart.

He really didn’t want her to have anything to do with the old man again.

But looking at her pleading expression, how could he bring himself to refuse her?

Finally, he made up his mind and said in a deep voice, “I’ll take you back, but after you see her, you must leave immediately.”

After breakfast, Baili Xia hurriedly tidied herself up and left with Mu Xiaoyao.

After Mu Xiaoyao parked the car in the garage of the Mu Mansion, he walked back to the main house with Baili Xia.

As they entered the main courtyard, they saw the old man and Feng Gang slowly walking out of the hall, as if they were about to go out.

The old man also saw Baili Xia, and he paused, momentarily stopping his steps at the door of the hall.

Baili Xia gathered her courage, walked up to him, and respectfully said, “Grandfather, I…”

“Don’t call me grandfather!” The old man interrupted her angrily, “Why are you back?

Do you want to harm me again?”

“No, I won’t harm you.” As if prepared for this, Baili Xia showed no panic in her eyes when scolded.

She looked into the old man’s eyes and said softly, “I just want to see the person I care about, to see if he’s feeling better.”

As their eyes met, the old man knew what she meant.

But since he had already made up his mind, he must not soften his heart again.

Softening his heart would only harm her.

He glanced at the second floor, sternly saying, “Once you’ve seen him, leave quickly. The Mu family does not welcome you.”

Saying that, he swung his arm and left the courtyard with Feng Gang’s support.

Baili Xia stared at his departing figure, somewhat lost in thought.

It wasn’t until Mu Xiaoyao’s plain voice came that she snapped back to reality.

“What, stunned from being scolded?”

“No, I just… don’t want to be wronged.” Baili Xia replied, turning to enter the hall.

As soon as she entered the hall, Baili Xia suddenly held her stomach with her hand and bent over.

Mu Xiaoyao quickly took a couple of steps forward, catching up with her.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Baili Xia’s brows tightly knit, he couldn’t help but feel a bit worried.

He reached out to support Baili Xia, intending to get her to sit on the sofa.

“I, my stomach hurts.”

Baili Xia gritted her teeth, seemingly hard to speak.

“I guess the food I had in the morning was unsanitary, my stomach hurts, it hurts a lot.”
