Chapter 2414

Knowing Mu Xiaoyao is alright, Baili Xia’s heart, which was tense all night, finally relaxed.

But she quickly realized, something seemed… off!

“You ordered him?” She looked at Wu Ming with a puzzled expression.

Wu Ming’s tone… why does it sound so much like an order?

Since when did Brother become so obedient? Even needing to take commands from Wu Ming?

Brother only ever listens to Uncle.

“Why? I can’t direct him to do things?”

Wu Ming glanced at her, his guilty conscience was quickly concealed.

Realizing he’d misspoken, he switched to a disdainful attitude to make amends.

“When I first arrived, I fought him in a match. We agreed whoever loses will listen to the winner in the future.”

“You and Brother… fought?” Baili Xia looked incredulous. So, wins and losses can decide who leads in the future.

But… “Brother… actually lost to you?”

How is that possible? To her, Brother is a war god!

“What’s so strange about it? With his mere tricks.”

Wu Ming stared into her eyes, his face darkened: “Look at your expression now? Do you look down on me that much?”

“No, I don’t look down on you, it’s just…”

It’s just that Brother is unbeaten at school.

However, Wu Ming is indeed alarmingly mysterious; even Baili Xia doesn’t know how skilled he is.

“Alright, since Brother is fine, I need to rest well.”

She looked at Wu Ming, dropping her curiosity, clearly showing an intention to send him away.

Wu Ming furrowed his thick brows, feeling a bit discontent about being sent out just like that.

But seeing that this girl truly looked fatigued, he didn’t say anything more, walked to the wardrobe to take his clothes, and turned to leave.

“Hey, why don’t you take your clothes with you?”

If he’s not staying here, why leave the clothes here?

Uh, she’s not trying to make him stay; she just thought he really should move his clothes to the room next door.

That’s where his room is.

“Did I say I’m moving out?” Wu Ming couldn’t be bothered with her, grabbing his robe as he walked out.

Baili Xia immediately rushed over and locked the door.

Who knows if he really plans to come over later; that guy has a temper as explosive as Uncle’s.

If he really wants to come over, even if she tries to send him away, she might not succeed.

Speaking of which, not only does he resemble Uncle in appearance, but his temperament is similar too…

Honestly, why does he look so similar, could it be because he’s been by Uncle’s side too long?

So alike, it makes her occasionally… mistake him for someone else…

…

After Baili Xia locked the door, she took her pajamas and headed to the bathroom.

After taking a shower, the room was still quiet, no one barging in.

She let out a sigh of relief, sat on the bed, and dialed Mu Xiaoyao’s phone.

This time, the call connected.

“I’m at the branch office, about to sleep, what’s up?”

Mu Xiaoyao’s slightly hoarse voice came through; he’s not just about to sleep, he’s already almost asleep.

Baili Xia exhaled, shaking her head: “It’s nothing, just wanted to confirm what things are like over there.”

“There’s nothing to worry about, I’ll come back after I handle things, just obey Wu Ming.”

“I got it.” Baili Xia lay on the bed, suddenly thinking of something, “Brother, did you really lose to Wu Ming? Wu Ming said you guys had a fight and he won.”

“Did you… really lose badly?”
