Chapter 1739

“Uncle…” Mu Xiaoyao was a bit stunned and couldn’t quite react.

Sleep here?

Uncle never allows men to sleep in his bed, and today he’s making an exception for this girl?

Not to mention, to stay and accompany his girl…

Mu Xiaoyao felt a bit troubled, unwilling to refuse Baili Xia but also not wanting to hurt Uncle’s feelings.

Moreover, right now, Uncle is not just sad.

Uncle is probably so angry he wants to kill someone, right?

But this time, when Mu Xiaoyao looked at Mu Xiaojiu, the fluctuations in his eyes reflected calmness.

He nodded slightly without speaking.

Mu Xiaoyao suddenly felt even more troubled, Uncle…

really letting him sleep here!

Nangong Xu walked over, gently stroked Baili Xia’s head, and then turned and left.

After seeing Nangong Xu off, Baili Xia sat on the sofa, motionless.

Now and then, she looked up at Mu Xiaojiu opposite her, who was just sitting there as if deep in thought.

Mu Xiaoyao nudged her softly and said, “Come on, take a shower, you should go to bed.”

Baili Xia obediently nodded, stood up, and went to the wardrobe, casually picking out a nightgown.

When she opened the wardrobe, her mind went blank for a moment.

Why are there so many men’s clothes in this wardrobe?

Are they Brother’s?

Why does it always feel like these clothes aren’t really Brother’s style?

Come to think of it, they seem more like…

that man’s style.

She sneakily glanced back at Mu Xiaojiu, only to find him staring directly at her!

Baili Xia’s heart skipped a beat from fright, immediately grabbed the clothes, and dashed into the bathroom.

Running so fast, it seems her body really isn’t in much trouble.

Soon, the sound of running water could be heard from the bathroom.

Mu Xiaoyao looked at Mu Xiaojiu across from him and said lightly, “What now?”

He actually didn’t want to stay here; this is Uncle’s room.

He’s not used to sleeping in someone else’s bed, even if that person is Uncle.

Besides, there’s this feeling that if he sleeps in Uncle’s bed, he might end up sleeping with Uncle’s woman too.

Even though he knows that even if he stays, he can’t do anything to Baili Xia.

But that feeling…

is really bittersweet.

“You stay… with her,” Mu Xiaojiu said lightly.

The girl just woke up, doesn’t remember him, but letting her sleep somewhere else, he can’t bear it.

Mu Xiaojiu sees her dependence on Mu Xiaoyao and feels a trace of pain and inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

But if it will make the girl feel better, he’s willing to let Xiaoyao stay.

At least, it ensures her safety.

In the past, didn’t he often entrust this girl to Xiaoyao to protect?

This time, there’s really no difference.

As long as he reminds himself there’s no difference, his heart…

won’t hurt.

The two of them didn’t speak again, and the room fell into silence.

Until the bathroom door opened, and Baili Xia walked out wearing a nightgown.

Seeing her hair still wet, Mu Xiaojiu’s heart stirred a little.

He got up and went into the bathroom, grabbing a hairdryer.

Seeing him walking toward her, Baili Xia immediately showed a defensive look and unconsciously took a small step back.

Mu Xiaojiu stopped immediately; he had forgotten that the girl doesn’t remember him now.

His impulsive action unintentionally increased her psychological burden.

He turned his head slightly, his gaze falling on Mu Xiaoyao.

Mu Xiaoyao understood, stood up immediately, and took the hairdryer from his hand.

But why does this hairdryer feel so heavy, almost too much for even him to hold?

When Uncle handed over the hairdryer, his heart…

must have been hurting, right?
