Chapter 2110

Feeling the presence of someone else in the room, Mu Xiaojiu glanced sideways.

The scene before him made his dark eyes narrow slightly.

This girl, she actually slept leaning on the bedside for the whole night.

Mu Xiaojiu lifted his hand, wanting to pull Baili Xia onto the bed.

But as he was about to touch Baili Xia, his hand stopped.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze was fixed tightly on her face, and he was suddenly stunned.

The corners of this girl’s lips were slightly upturned, revealing a face full of happiness.

He wondered what kind of dream she was having that could make her so happy.

“Jiu…” a soft murmur escaped from Baili Xia’s mouth.

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyebrow twitched, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

This girl, is she dreaming about him?

Seeing the happiness on her face, he couldn’t bring himself to wake her up.

Mu Xiaojiu turned sideways, his face drawing closer to Baili Xia.

Only a few centimeters apart, their faces were almost touching.

He just stayed there, watching, motionless.

As time ticked by, the sky eventually brightened completely.

Warm sunlight streamed through the window, casting on the bed and on Baili Xia’s cheeks.

In the light, her pale skin appeared even more delicate.

Mu Xiaojiu couldn’t help but raise his head slightly, with a slight smile at the corner of his lips, leaning closer.

Knock, knock, knock…

A few light knocks on the door suddenly sounded.

Damn it! Mu Xiaojiu cursed silently, his face turning dark instantly.

Hearing the knocking, Baili Xia’s pretty eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Knock, knock, knock… another three knocks.

If it weren’t for the poison, Mu Xiaojiu would have long since gotten up to kick the person at the door far away.

However, regardless of what he thought, the girl beside him evidently heard the sound.

Her eyes slowly opened, but she hadn’t fully awakened, still searching for her consciousness from sleep.

Baili Xia’s drowsy eyes stared blankly at the face so close to hers, her mind in a haze.

This face, it’s so good-looking.

Suddenly, her eyes widened like large crystal grapes.

She sat up abruptly: “Uncle, you’re awake!”

“Ouch…” As she sat up straight, her hand quickly reached for her neck, showing a pained expression.

After sleeping like that for a night, her neck was stiff.

Due to pressure, the right half of her pale face bore a red imprint.

A hint of tenderness flashed across Mu Xiaojiu’s cold face, barely detectable.

He felt a strange urge in his heart, wanting to pinch that cute cheek.

His hand rose slightly, slowly reaching towards that familiar face.

Baili Xia’s face flushed red, her heart suddenly tensing.

Something suddenly came to mind, and she quickly stood up.

“Someone’s knocking, I’ll get the door.”

Almost fleeing, ignoring the soreness in her neck, she swiftly turned and headed for the door.

Though she had no choice but to agree to return to Uncle’s side under those circumstances yesterday.

But it was only a temporary measure at the time, just to reassure Uncle and save him with the blood in her body.

Even though Brother said nothing, she only considered it a temporary measure.

Baili Xia walked to the door and gently opened it.

“Master.” Seeing someone else at this moment, her emotions were somewhat complex.

Last night, she spent another night in Uncle’s room…

Nangong Xu stood outside the door with a calm expression, nodding slightly as she opened it.

Noticing the obvious imprints on her face, he knew this girl had suffered last night.

However, he said nothing and took large strides inside.
