Chapter 2009

Baili Xia’s fingertips tightened, and a faint, suppressed pain flowed through her heart.

Standing here…for an entire night.

But, what’s the use?

She smiled lightly, with no extra expression on her face: “Why didn’t you let him in?”

“You’re afraid of him.” When she woke up, she showed a profound fear of Mu Xiaojiu, how could he dare to come in.

Aren’t you afraid of triggering her?

“I’m not afraid now, yesterday… I don’t know what happened.”

Baili Xia still smiled lightly, that bright smile seemingly not holding yesterday’s events at heart at all.

Mo did not pursue further, if Xiaxia doesn’t want to talk, her asking would only be forcing her.

“By the way, what exactly happened yesterday? Did Ning Anran really have the audacity to push you down?”

“This matter…”

Baili Xia’s words were interrupted by two figures not far away.

Looking up, Mu Xiaoyao and Mu Lingchuan were walking over.

“You’re awake?” Seeing Baili Xia, Mu Xiaoyao’s heart tightened, and he walked toward her.

Baili Xia smiled gently: “Brother.”

“Why are you out so soon? You need to rest after just waking up.”

Mu Xiaoyao took Baili Xia from Mo’s hands, supporting her as they headed towards the medical room.

“I’m not that fragile, I’m feeling quite comfortable now.”

“Really better?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze stayed fixed on her eyes, and after confirming repeatedly, he finally relaxed.

“Alright, just walk for a bit.”

“Mm.” Baili Xia grasped his supporting hand, holding it in hers.

Like a couple taking a stroll.

Mu Lingchuan supported Mo, looking at Baili Xia, feeling something was odd about the scene but couldn’t pinpoint it.

“Since Xiaxia is fine, I’ll take Mo back.” Mu Lingchuan immediately said.

It’s not that he doesn’t care about Baili Xia, but he is more worried about his own woman.

Last night Mo insisted on staying in the medical room, he disagreed, but this girl was disobedient.

Usually, she is quite obedient, but whenever it concerns Baili Xia, she is absolutely rebellious.

“I won’t go.” Baili Xia hadn’t spoken yet, Mo indeed refused first.

Mu Lingchuan was rendered speechless by Mo’s defiance, his face slightly blushing.

His expression tightened, eyes growing somber. “It’s time to go back.”

Mo’s heart tightened, wanting to say something.

But upon seeing Mu Lingchuan’s gaze, she swallowed her words.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment, even Baili Xia noticed their disagreement.

“Mo, you’re tired too, better go back, Brother can stay with me here.”

Mo thought for a moment, gently nodded.

Only after glancing at Mu Lingchuan, did she follow him away.

As Mu Lingchuan and Mo’s figures completely vanished into the backyard, Mu Xiaoyao prepared to support Baili Xia back to the medical room.

Baili Xia’s hand was still holding Mu Xiaoyao, her body leaning weakly against his strong build.

“Brother, how is Ning Anran?”

Mu Xiaoyao hesitated slightly, glanced at her, and then said indifferently: “Uncle has locked her up.”

Baili Xia’s heart tightened, her steps halted.

“Locked up by Uncle? This matter has nothing to do with her, I fell down the stairs myself.”

When the incident happened, only she and Ning Anran were present.

If she fainted and Uncle found out, he would certainly blame Ning Anran.

To be blamed by the cold-hearted Uncle, one can imagine how miserable Ning Anran would be.
