Chapter 752: Aren't You Afraid Of Being Wasted by You in The Middle Of The Night_1

“No, I… I could avoid it.” If she knew it would end up like this, she would definitely be able to duck next time and suppress the urge to retaliate.

Xiaxia has always been in a precarious situation living under the roof of the Mu family.

She really didn’t want to cause her any more trouble.

“Mr. Mu, am I still able to report to work tomorrow?”

Seeing Mu Lingchuan pack up his computer and leave the room, Zimo immediately followed after him.

“Let me think, I’m hungry now.” Mu Lingchuan led the way without looking back.

Zimo could only follow him, not knowing what to say or how to plead.

Just as she stepped into the elevator, her phone rang unexpectedly.

It was a call from Baili Xia.

She immediately answered the phone.

From the other end of the phone, Baili Xia’s helpless voice came, “Zimo, I…

I have to go back to the Mu Mansion with Uncle first.

Wait for Xiaoxiao and then return to school first.

Tomorrow, I’ll talk to my big brother about your situation, don’t worry, I have to go now, Uncle is urging me.”

“I know, you don’t need to worry about me, I will wait for Xiaoxiao.”

In Baili Xia’s voice, there was a hint of unease and sincere fear mixed with anxiety.

Did she always live like this on tenterhooks when she was with Mr.

Xiaojiu?

Were the members of the Mu family really treating her badly?

How much hardship had she suffered?

After hanging up the phone, she felt worried.

She had almost forgotten who was standing next to her.

Mu Lingchuan, however, looked at her phone and furrowed his dense brows.

“Very few people use this type of phone these days, especially girls.”

An outdated phone model, no one would bother to pick it up if it were left on the street, and nobody would buy it even if it were sold.

How come a young girl in the prime of her life, would use such a phone that even a poor person would despise?

“As long as it can make phone calls.” Zimo didn’t mind, and didn’t feel embarrassed that her phone was so outdated.

Like she said, anyways, as long as it can make phone calls.

After the elevator door opened, Zimo stepped back and made way.

However, Mu Lingchuan understood that she was just habitually guarding against everyone.

Just as he was about to step out, he turned his head and looked at her.

“You and Xiaxia, have known each other since you were little?”

Zimo met his gaze, a hint of surprise in her eyes: “…

Yes.”

“Accompany me to dinner, talk about her childhood, and maybe, my impression of you will improve.”

“…I don’t accompany guests.” She not only did not step forward, rather, she stepped back.

This time, she stepped all the way back to the corner of the elevator, even bumping her back against the elevator wall.

“Accompany guests?” After a moment of silence, Mu Lingchuan burst out laughing.

“Even if you regard yourself as a prostitute, I’m not willing to be your client… You’re being too rude, aren’t you afraid that I will retaliate against you in the middle of the night?”

“…” She didn’t know what to say, only that her face turned slightly red.

“Let’s go.” Mu Lingchuan advanced towards the elevator exit, “Being cautious is a good thing, but you don’t need to be so guarded, not everyone is bad. Why would someone harm you for no reason?”

After much hesitation, Zimo finally stepped out and followed him.

Luckily, this was a private elevator.

At that time, no one else was using it.

Otherwise, with her staying in there for so long, the elevator would have been long called to other floors.

Xiaoxiao was still working overtime on the drama set, wondering if she had eaten dinner yet?
