Chapter 2536

Mu Xiaoyao had been searching all along, but few shops were open at eight in the morning.

Bei Xier followed his gaze, realizing it was a mobile phone shop.

The car stopped, and Mu Xiaoyao said nonchalantly, “Go buy a phone.”

Bei Xier was slightly taken aback, initially thinking he just planned to charge his phone.

Who knew he intended to directly buy a phone instead?

“Aren’t you feeling guilty?”

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at her indifferently, his eyes revealing a hint of impatience.

This woman was too troublesome.

If he didn’t still need her to explain things once they returned, he would have ditched her and gone back to find that girl himself.

Bei Xier quickly nodded, “Okay, I’ll go buy.”

Although she was being kidnapped by Mu Xiaoyao, somehow now it felt like she owed him something.

However, he had no money. If she didn’t go buy it, there was indeed no solution.

Bei Xier opened the car door, grabbed her bag, and hurried out.

As if worried about danger outside, Bei Xier walked cautiously, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings.

“Welcome, good morning, is there anything I can help you with?”

The shop clerk was quite polite, but it startled Bei Xier, making her visibly flustered.

Bei Xier tugged at her lips awkwardly.

“I’m here to buy a phone.”

…

When Bei Xier returned to the car with two phones.

Mu Xiaoyao’s gaze caught sight of her buying two identical phones, his eyes filled with disdain.

“Why buy two?”

Bei Xier rolled her eyes at him, saying flatly, “Thanks to you, my phone is smashed to pieces.”

Mu Xiaoyao was slightly taken aback, finally recalling that it was him who smashed Bei Xier’s phone yesterday.

At that moment, he didn’t say much, his expression tightening as he tossed his old phone to her.

“Switch the card over.”

Casually tossing the words, he started up the car, quickly leaving the area.

Bei Xier responded, picking up the phone to study it.

But even after flipping through it for a long time, she couldn’t find a way to remove the phone card.

The phone was designed like a single piece, without any part where the back cover could be opened.

Seeing her clumsy manner, a hint of impatience rose within Mu Xiaoyao.

“Give it to me.”

Taking the phone from Bei Xier’s hand, with a casual squeeze, the back cover came off easily.

Witnessing how effortlessly he opened the phone, Bei Xier looked astonished.

If she knew Mu Xiaoyao was a typical tech guy, perhaps it wouldn’t seem strange.

However, that such a tech guy could be so bossy and skillful might still surprise her.

After switching the phone card into the new phone, she started it up and handed it back to Mu Xiaoyao.

Soon, the beeping sound kept coming.

Mu Xiaoyao’s brows furrowed slightly; after being unseen for so long, these people must be desperately looking for him.

Examining the phone in his hand, sure enough, there were dozens of messages.

Most were missed calls, from Uncle and Long Ting, but conspicuously missing that girl’s.

Mu Xiaoyao felt a twinge of anxiety, quickly opening the messages to check; a message from Long Ting finally put him at ease.

“Found Mr. Xiaojiu and Miss Xiaxia.”

But soon, another message made his heart tighten again.

“They have already returned to the Bei Family.”

Returned to the Bei Family? Bei Xier hadn’t been sent back yet; how dare they return first?

Mu Xiaoyao immediately picked up the phone and called Long Ting.

“What’s going on?”
