Chapter 1740

Mu Xiaoyao held the hairdryer, walked over to Baili Xia, and pulled her to sit on the sofa.

Only then did he plug it in, study it for a while, and start drying her hair.

The movements were indescribably clumsy; it was obvious he had never done this before.

Mu Xiaojiu stood to the side, his gaze constantly locked on Baili Xia’s face.

His expressionless face hid too many thoughts, making him utterly inscrutable.

Baili Xia wasn’t unaware that this man had been staring at her with a fervent gaze.

The intensity of it was almost unbearable, but there wasn’t a hint of danger.

So even though she found this man very impolite, she couldn’t refuse.

Because, he actually hadn’t done anything.

Baili Xia bit her lip and instinctively hid next to Mu Xiaoyao.

She wanted his tall figure to block Mu Xiaojiu’s profound gaze.

It wasn’t until she had almost completely hidden behind Mu Xiaoyao that Mu Xiaojiu seemed to react.

He withdrew his heavy gaze and sat back down in front of the sofa.

Baili Xia still felt somewhat uneasy; no one had introduced who this man actually was.

That night, he stayed in her room all along.

What did that mean?

Right, where is this place?

It looks nothing like the room in the main house where she used to sleep…

Mu Xiaoyao’s fingers holding the hairdryer grew increasingly stiff, and he felt a bit at a loss.

Being sandwiched between the two, the feeling was truly uncomfortable.

After drying Baili Xia’s hair, Mu Xiaoyao returned the hairdryer to the bathroom.

As he walked out, he looked at Baili Xia and softly said, “Go to sleep, you just woke up, have a good rest.”

Baili Xia nodded obediently, stood up, and walked towards the bed.

After a few steps, she suddenly realized Mu Xiaoyao hadn’t followed her.

She turned around and looked at Mu Xiaoyao, saying, “Brother, what about you?”

“You sleep first, I’ll come over later.”

Baili Xia bit her lip slightly: “If you’re not going to sleep, then I’m not going either.”

Saying so, she was about to return to the sofa.

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyebrows twitched slightly, a wave of emotion stirring in his heart.

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at him faintly, with a look of helplessness.

“…Okay, I’ll accompany you.”

He walked over to Baili Xia, held her hand, and led her towards the bed.

Who knew, after just a few steps, Baili Xia turned around again, her gaze falling on Mu Xiaojiu, softly asking, “…What about him?”

The cautious look seemed to worry that Uncle would also join them in bed.

Mu Xiaoyao’s lips curled slightly, and he said gently, “Don’t worry about it, Uncle will sleep on the sofa tonight.”

“Uncle?” Baili Xia looked at Mu Xiaojiu, then at him, “Whose Uncle?”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t know how to answer.

He turned to look at Mu Xiaojiu, feeling a bit awkward.

This girl…

really had completely forgotten about Uncle.

He didn’t answer directly, just ambiguously said, “Who do you think Uncle refers to?”

Baili Xia puckered her lips and glared at him.

Thinking about it, she finally understood.

Brother’s Uncle is also her Uncle.

However, this Uncle…

is really strange.

She climbed onto the bed, peeking out from Mu Xiaoyao’s arm, looking at Mu Xiaojiu sitting on the sofa.

The little expression, exactly the same as before.

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingertips tightened, staring at her face that seemed to want to speak.

Finally, this girl realized there was still him here.

After a hesitation, Baili Xia looked at Mu Xiaojiu and softly called, “Uncle.”
