Chapter 1952

Baili Xia mused to herself, probably only Uncle and Brother, those cold men who wouldn’t bother looking at beauties.

Speaking of charity auctions, she understood them.

There are many on television; whenever there’s a charity event, those big families rush to bid.

On the surface it looks like they’re auctioning donations, but in reality, it’s just to show off who’s richer.

However, girls competing for beauty shouldn’t be that intense.

Dressing up nicely is enough; why bother comparing with others?

“I won’t compare with others; I can just wear anything, right?”

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, who was at the main seat, but said nothing.

Mu Xiaojiu said blandly, “Tomorrow Mrs. Wen will bring over evening gowns; you, Xiaoxiao, and Zimo can choose.”

Baili Xia was slightly taken aback. She had been away for a few days, yet Wen Yu was already managing these things.

She didn’t know when Uncle and the main house had become so close.

She casually responded with a “hmm.” Despite her reluctance, she said no more.

However, Xiaoxiao was so excited her heart was pounding. She never expected that such an important gathering of the Eight Big Families, even Mr. Xiaojiu would let her attend.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, I can join too?” Unable to resist, she asked again to confirm.

“Hmm.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s voice turned cold; he didn’t want to repeat himself.

Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to ask again, suppressing her excitement, and lowered her head to eat.

After dinner, Baili Xia followed Mu Xiaoyao to his room.

“Not resting a bit since you’re back?” Mu Xiaoyao looked at her and said lightly.

“I slept all afternoon; I’m not sleepy at all.”

Mu Xiaoyao said nothing further, walked to the desk, and opened a notebook, appearing to have much to deal with.

“I just returned from outside, and you can’t spare some time to accompany me?” Baili Xia walked to the sofa and sat down, her tone serene.

Mu Xiaoyao paused, turned to look at her, “Accompany you doing what?”

“Dating, of course, doing what couples do, going out for fun, or having a chat.”

“Okay.” Without any hesitation, Mu Xiaoyao immediately closed the notebook and stood up.

“Where do you want to go for fun?”

If this could make the girl happy, he was willing to try.

“Let’s sit and chat; it’s been a while since I talked to you.”

Baili Xia, seeing his somewhat silly manner, couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart.

This Brother, it’s hard to believe he would ever do anything to harm her.

Seeing Mu Xiaoyao sit across from her, Baili Xia composed herself and said lightly, “Brother, how did we meet?”

Mu Xiaoyao glanced up at her, surprised by such a sudden question.

“You came to the Mu family, so of course, you met me.” He answered truthfully.

“Why did I come to the Mu family?”

Mu Xiaoyao was momentarily stunned by a question he couldn’t answer.

Although he knew the reason, it couldn’t be spoken.

“What’s the matter? Don’t you know?” Baili Xia, spotting the hesitation in his eyes, pressed further.

Mu Xiaoyao looked into her eyes, wanting to understand why she would ask such a question.

Uncle mentioned she met Nangong Yun, who told her about the Mu family.

Could it be that she remembered something or suspected something?

“I can’t quite recall.”

In the end, he had to dismiss it casually.

“Ha,” Baili Xia laughed, somewhat helplessly. “Even such a thing you forget, can you really be sure I’m your fiancée?”
