Chapter 228: Behave Don't Move 41_1

We’ve been found out!

Baili Xia was so startled that she let out a cry.

But barely had her voice left her lips when a large hand clamped over her mouth.

“Shut up!” A familiar, deep voice sounded from behind her.

Baili Xia’s eyes grew wide and she stilled for a moment before finally nodding her head.

This was her telling the person behind her that she wouldn’t call out wildly again, so he could release her.

Mu Xiaoyao withdrew his hand.

When Baili Xia turned around, she met his deep, penetrating gaze.

Subconsciously, she clenched her thin lips and lowered her head.

She had said she would sleep, but after deceiving her brother, she immediately slipped out.

She hadn’t expected that her brother would discover her sneaky maneuver.

“I didn’t intentionally lie to you, I just…”

“Just wanted to see Uncle, right?”

Mu Xiaoyao let out a cold huff, raising his eyes to look at the water pipe.

Baili Xia was truly disheartened, knowing that if her brother found out, he would definitely take her away.

But, she really wanted to see Uncle.

“Brother.” She murmured softly.

Just as she was about to say something, suddenly, a hand tightened around her waist.

She found herself in Mu Xiaoyao’s arms before she knew it.

“Brother!” She gasped, her hands instinctively gripping his arms.

Mu Xiaoyao used just his left arm to easily lift her up, letting her sit on his forearm.

Such strength was terrifying!

“Hold on tight.” He simply let slip this stern order.

With his right hand, he grabbed onto the water pipe.

Amazingly, with one hand wrapped around Baili Xia and the other around the water pipe, he swiftly scaled up the pipes.

Baili Xia felt herself sway.

She was so scared that she almost screamed.

But she bit her lip forcefully, deeply afraid that her voice would alert Sihai Residence’s security guards.

Although, the guards at Sihai Residence were performing terribly tonight.

She, a full-grown person, had managed to slip in unnoticed.

However, she decided she’d set that concern aside for the time being.

As her body swayed again, due to her nervousness, she instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around Mu Xiaoyao’s neck.

Mu Xiaoyao’s eyebrows knitted together.

He nearly wished he could drop her.

Having picked her up, he couldn’t bring himself to care about their physical closeness at the moment.

But why on earth was this woman holding on so tightly?

Didn’t she know that even if he were made of iron, his neck was still vulnerable?

She was embracing him so tightly that he nearly couldn’t breathe, was she trying to strangle him?

Perhaps even she herself realized she was holding him too tightly, because after an awkward moment, Baili Xia slowly loosened her grip.

Yet, both of her arms were still wrapped tightly around his neck.

Now, they were completely away from the ground, just about to reach the second floor.

Falling from this height would probably result in injuries ten times more severe than those she had gotten earlier.

Mu Xiaoyao ignored her.

He easily reached the second floor by scaling along the water pipe.

From here, through the open curtains, they could see some movement inside.

Mu Lingchuan was there, standing next to the bed.

Another man also sat there.

His long hair was his distinguishing feature.

His hair floated slightly in the breeze coming through the window.

Nangong Xu…

a man so charming he could make women jealous.

But the angle from where they were only offered a view of one corner of the massive bed, making it impossible to see Uncle, who was lying there.

Uncle must be in bed.

Nangong Xu was treating him right now.

He hadn’t recovered yet…

Her heart ached and her breaths became heavy.

Uncle still hadn’t recovered, but she couldn’t see…

Mu Xiaoyao suddenly looked down at her, a disinterested glance sweeping over her, “Do you want to see him?”
