Chapter 1676

A sleepless night.

Baili Xia thought she would definitely be sleepless tonight, after all, Mu Xiaojiu’s madness just now really frightened her.

She didn’t even know how long she could keep up the facade of calm.

Fortunately, he eventually left.

She lay on the bed, her heart originally filled with fear and uncertainty about the future.

But perhaps due to exhaustion, she surprisingly fell asleep quickly.

When Mu Xiaojiu later came back to check on her, she was already in a deep sleep.

He lay down beside her, about to reach out and hold her.

Unexpectedly, the sleeping girl resisted immediately: “Go away, bad guy, go away…”

His heart felt like it was stabbed several times with a knife.

No matter how obedient she appeared on the outside, in her heart, he was already an unforgivable villain.

He finally left because if he stayed, the girl wouldn’t sleep peacefully at all.

A night passed uneventfully…

The next morning, after getting up and washing, Baili Xia went to the side hall for breakfast.

She didn’t seem to be unwell at all, in fact, she seemed full of energy.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu, she took the initiative to ask, “Uncle, I want to visit Grandpa.”

Looking at her demeanor, what’s the difference from before?

Even Mu Xiaoyao, who was beside her, couldn’t help but squint and stare at her.

This girl’s ability to disguise herself was getting better and better.

“Okay.” Without a trace of hesitation, Mu Xiaojiu’s words lacked any emotion.

Baili Xia was a little stunned, not expecting him to agree so easily.

“After breakfast, let Xiaoyao accompany you.”

“Mm.”

As soon as she finished breakfast, Mu Xiaoyao immediately drove the car over and waited for Baili Xia.

“Uncle, I’m going now.” Baili Xia put down her chopsticks and stood up easily.

Mu Xiaojiu did not look up, but the fingers holding the chopsticks tightened slightly.

Unable to get his response, Baili Xia didn’t dare to leave.

She still stood by, still waiting for him.

Mu Xiaojiu closed his eyes slightly; perhaps, one day this girl could truly drive him crazy.

“Go ahead.” He said lightly.

Only then did Baili Xia turn around, walking with light steps towards the outside of the dining room.

As soon as she got in the car, Baili Xia took out her phone to check for a signal.

Luckily, the signal was strong.

She called Nangong Xu, who told her that Zimo’s condition was very stable now.

He woke up twice last night and is still sleeping, with Mu Lingchuan by her side.

Baili Xia was relieved and didn’t ask why Nangong Xu suddenly returned, because asking would be pointless anyway.

“Brother, drive faster, I want to see Grandpa soon.” She turned her head to glance at Mu Xiaoyao.

Mu Xiaoyao, who was driving, tightened his fingertips slightly and nodded faintly.

He pressed the accelerator pedal, adding a little more force.

Baili Xia stopped talking, leaned back in the seat, and closed her eyes.

She seemed very calm, even calmer than ever.

Such a big thing happened, yesterday, she even self-harmed because of this matter.

Now, this calmness, Mu Xiaoyao knew very well it was fake, but it was heartbreaking to watch.

“Uncle will ensure your Grandpa is well inside.” He couldn’t find a topic and wanted to hear her speak, so he randomly chose something to discuss.

After saying it, he closely watched her expression.

But Baili Xia only responded with a faint “Mm,” without further words.

Mu Xiaoyao continued driving with focus, yet, for some unknown reason, his heart suddenly ached fiercely.
