Chapter 700: Life All Blended with Him_1

Distraught, Mu Xiaojiu picked up his chopsticks and began to eat slowly.

He felt the dishes had no taste.

He threw his chopsticks down after a few bites, stood up, and walked away.

Ning Anran watched his retreating figure, her gaze lingering on him.

Ye Hua glanced at her and said calmly, “Miss Ning, please take your time.

The servants will clean up later.”

“Oh, okay, got it, thanks,” Ning Anran quickly stood up and nodded at him.

Her humble demeanor made Ye Hua somewhat reluctant to be harsh, he managed to squeeze out a small smile.

“You are Miss Xiaxia’s classmate, there’s no need to be so formal. It seems Mr. Xiaojiu doesn’t have an appetite today, so take your time eating.”

After one more glance at her, he also turned around and left.

Mr.

Xiaojiu barely ate anything, he would certainly get hungry later.

He should tell the butler to prepare food at all times, and when Mr.

Xiaojiu feels like it, bring him some late-night snacks.

Ning Anran kept looking towards the entrance until Ye Hua’s figure also disappeared from her sight, only then did she let out a sigh of relief.

She did feel a bit uncomfortable here, mainly because the pressure Mr.

Xiaojiu put on her was too big.

However, despite the pressure, just being able to see him made her feel incredibly happy.

She originally didn’t ask for anything, nor did she dare to ask, but she didn’t expect Mr.

Xiaojiu to be so considerate about her.

Did this mean that there might be a little bit of hope for her?

But she quickly laughed at herself.

What was her status, what right did she have to ask for anything?

Being able to have a meal with Mr.

Xiaojiu, even if it was brief, it was such a wonderful moment, she should be satisfied.

Once she left the Sihai Residence, she would not get another opportunity like this.

So for now, every extra moment she could stay was a blessing.

She picked up her chopsticks again and started to eat alone, slowly savoring her meal.

This was the side hall of the Sihai Residence, the dishes were from the Sihai Residence, everything belonged to Mr.

Xiaojiu.

She was in the Sihai Residence, eating at the place where Mr.

Xiaojiu usually ate, eating the same dishes as him.

It felt as if her own life was merging with his.

What more could she desire in this life?

All this was truly enough to satisfy her.

…

Under the same night sky, at the Mu Group’s restaurant, Mu Lingchuan and Baili Xia were also having dinner.

Unlike the atmosphere in the side hall of the Sihai Residence, the atmosphere here was quite cheerful.

Even though one of them didn’t look so good, the other kept trying to persuade him.

Even so, the atmosphere was quite good.

“Can’t you just agree to my request? Big brother, promise me, don’t tell Uncle about this.”

After lingering for a while, Baili Xia had completely relaxed.

When she spoke to Mu Lingchuan, she even started to act coquettishly.

“Big brother, please, if you ever need help, I’ll be there, alright?”

“Just what can you do to help me?” Mu Lingchuan snorted, looking dismissive.

Such a young girl claiming that she could help him if he was in trouble – what a joke!

Baili Xia couldn’t help rolling her eyes at him, muttering under her breath.

“Never underestimate others, haven’t you heard that saying?

Never belittle the young and poor, maybe one day, I’ll rise above you.”

“Having ambition is good, but you should be realistic.”

Noticing that she was chatting more than eating, Mu Lingchuan’s face sombered.

“No wonder you’re as skinny as a stick! You should know it’s not appropriate to talk when eating, right?”
