Chapter 1797

Baili Xia sighed, seeing Mu Xiaojiu’s lack of a sense of security even in his dreams, watching as he tightly held her hand, her heart ached inexplicably.

Such a tall and strong person actually has a vulnerable side.

Everyone only sees him as a towering figure, strong as a rock, who would know that he actually has insecurities and fears as well.

I wonder what a formidable man like Uncle would be afraid of?

When Mu Xiaojiu’s brow gradually relaxed, once again falling into a deep sleep, Baili Xia slowly withdrew her hand from his.

She stood up, pulled the quilt over him again, and then turned and quietly left.

As she left the room, she couldn’t help but look back at him.

He was motionless, sleeping peacefully.

She thought, tonight, Uncle should be able to have a good rest.

Leaving Mu Xiaojiu’s room, Baili Xia leisurely returned to her own room.

Her mind was filled with many concerns, the more time she spent with Uncle, the more clearly she could see him.

Uncle’s interior seems not as cold as it appears on the outside; he is an unloved man.

Baili Xia started to feel that she needed to help him.

After all, Uncle was really good to her…

As she reached her room door, Baili Xia turned her head and suddenly noticed Mu Xiaoyao’s room was still lit.

His door was ajar, with a beam of light streaming out from inside.

What time is it, why is Brother not sleeping yet?

Could it be that since leaving her room, he went back to work until now?

How can they all not take care of their health, when is work ever finished?

Can’t they recharge and continue tomorrow?

Baili Xia let go of the doorknob and turned to walk towards Mu Xiaoyao’s room.

She lightly knocked twice on the heavy wooden door and slowly pushed open the ajar door.

Sure enough, Mu Xiaoyao was still working at his desk.

His long fingers danced rapidly across the keyboard of his computer.

His focused appearance was indescribably cool, icy and aloof, that was her Brother.

However, he was so engrossed, he didn’t even notice Baili Xia coming in.

Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze remained fixed on the computer screen, his brow furrowed, as if encountering some problem.

Baili Xia did not disturb him, she stood quietly aside, watching him.

Since Brother is tackling a problem, she would wait until he was free to chat.

Her gaze landed on Mu Xiaoyao’s handsome face, with sharp features, thin lips, sword-like brows, and a high nose bridge.

No matter how one looked, he was truly a super handsome guy.

Brother is truly handsome.

He seems in no way inferior compared to Uncle.

Especially when focused on work, it adds to his charm.

It’s just that compared to Uncle, he lacks a bit of seasoned charm.

Uncle’s aura is unique, but Brother has his own presence.

The two of them are truly well-matched.

Baili Xia gazed intently, almost forgetting why she had come.

“Have you seen enough?” a faint voice suddenly emerged from those attractive thin lips.

Baili Xia was startled and finally snapped back to reality.

A flush crept over her face, and she instinctively glanced around awkwardly.

Fortunately, no one was around, or she would have been teased endlessly for her lovestruck look.

Baili Xia cleared her throat before saying, “Yes, I’ve seen enough.”

A slight smile played on Mu Xiaoyao’s lips.

Finishing the last bit of coding, Mu Xiaoyao stood up and walked over to Baili Xia.
