Chapter 2329

When Mu Xiaojiu entered the room, Baili Xia was still packing her things.

There wasn’t much to pack, really. She just picked up some odds and ends, lost in thought.

“Finished packing?” A seductive, raspy voice sounded behind her. Even without turning, she knew who it was.

Lately, he’s been coming very frequently, you could almost say he’s spent every night at her place.

It’s just, she’s not sure whether it’s because her health hasn’t improved, or he’s become better.

In recent days, aside from holding her to sleep, he hasn’t done anything overly aggressive.

“I’m all packed.” Baili Xia turned to look at him after gathering her thoughts.

There was his even more perfect features reflected in her eyes, and that unmatchable noble aura. Her heart still felt a heavy pain.

Yet, she hid this pain very well, at least she thought so.

Mu Xiaojiu stepped towards her.

The little girl instinctively stepped back, though it wasn’t too obvious.

He embraced her from behind.

Baili Xia struggled gently, unable to break free, she simply gave up.

“Uncle, I’m leaving early tomorrow morning.” She said softly.

“Alright.” Surprisingly, this time, he didn’t try to stop her.

Earlier, when she mentioned leaving, his face was always somber, but recently, he suddenly changed.

Whenever this topic came up, he was no longer angry, no longer opposed, and even willing to nod his head in response.

Maybe even he realized, there’s no happiness in staying together?

Baili Xia dared not think too much, thinking any further seemed pointless.

“Uncle, are you free tonight?” She still had things to pack.

“Finished everything, just watching you busy yourself.” Mu Xiaojiu closed his eyes slightly, inhaling the fragrance unique to her.

Baili Xia no longer wished to continue like this. Since she said she’d leave, what’s the point in cuddling now?

“Uncle.”

“Yes?”

“Uncle…” Baili Xia hesitated, finally took a deep breath, “I still want to leave tonight. I’ve packed everything.”

He seemed rather odd tonight, immediately holding her upon returning. Though not wanton, it was very ambiguous.

This posture…

If I stay, who knows what might happen tonight. Baili Xia felt a bit anxious.

Since I’m leaving, I might as well go now, instead of dragging it out. Anyway, Sihai Residence has plenty of drivers.

“Uncle…”

“Are you sure you’ve packed everything?”

“I have.” Seeing him not object made Baili Xia breathe a sigh of relief, “I…”

“No, there’s something very important you haven’t packed yet.” Mu Xiaojiu interrupted decisively, “Pack it, then we’ll talk.”

“I’ve already packed it all.” She didn’t have much, what’s not hers, she didn’t want to take.

Now, the room was filled with two suitcases, which seemed a lot to her.

“No, there’s more.” He said stubbornly.

Baili Xia furrowed her brow and began to seriously consider what she might have forgotten.

Her gaze swept through the room several times, but she still couldn’t see what was left behind.

However, Mu Xiaojiu was just that obstinate. If he believed she forgot something, then she certainly did.

“But I can’t think of it, Uncle, what did I leave behind?”

“Me.” Just one simple word, yet so firm.

He tightened his hold on her, firmly.

“I’m yours too, pack me and take me with you!”
