Chapter 916: From Now On No Turning Off the Computer

Mr.

Xiaojiu was in a bad mood, lost, something rarely seen all these years by his side.

Although Leng Yu held a lot of resentment toward Baili Xia, tonight, under Mr.

Xiaojiu’s gloomy mood, it wasn’t appropriate to say anything.

She just didn’t understand, didn’t know why.

The moment she saw the smile disappear from Mr.

Xiaojiu’s eyes, she suddenly felt a little less hatred for Baili Xia.

Even, she was afraid that Baili Xia would suddenly leave Mr.

Xiaojiu, leaving no trace of light in his eyes.

She must be foolish to have such a terrifying thought.

How could she be willing to have Baili Xia stay by Mr.

Xiaojiu’s side?

It was clearly a burden to him.

Maybe she really was being foolish.

A girl like Baili Xia, wasn’t suitable for Mr.

Xiaojiu at all, not in the slightest.

Baili Xia thought that going out to play with Uncle like this, she would surely face a lot of criticism when she got back.

Just by walking with her Brother now, he was bound to scold her.

But from the front yard to the main hall, and even on the way upstairs, he hadn’t said a single extra word.

Her Brother didn’t scold her, and this made her even more uneasy.

Was he so angry that he couldn’t even bother to scold her?

Was Brother so furious that he wanted to strangle her?

But Mu Xiaoyao remained expressionless, showing no signs of anger.

Until he escorted her back to her room, Mu Xiaoyao was still silent, his brows didn’t show any sign of rage.

After taking her back, he turned around to return to his room.

Baili Xia watched his back, still puzzled by what he was thinking.

When she returned, Ye Hua and Leng Yu seemed to hate her to death; she could clearly see the resentment in their eyes.

But why not Brother?

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyao, who was about to leave, stopped and turned to look at her.

Baili Xia, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, straightened her back and met his gaze, waiting for his reprimand.

It was no use being anxious all night; she’d rather have him scold her harshly and then sleep peacefully.

But Mu Xiaoyao didn’t seem like he was going to get angry.

He just quietly looked at her for two seconds before speaking indifferently, “In the future, no matter where you go with him, do not turn off your phone.”

“Eh?” She hadn’t expected that to be his concern.

Baili Xia belatedly pulled her cell phone out of her bag and checked it—it was indeed off.

But her phone wasn’t out of battery, so why did it shut down unexpectedly?

Could it be that Uncle didn’t want them to be found…

“Even if Uncle turned it off, you had to turn it back on. Can you promise that?” Mu Xiaoyao continued to ask calmly.

Baili Xia nodded dumbly, her eyes blinking slightly.

With Brother being such a computer expert, as long as her phone was on, no matter where she went, he could find them quickly.

But… She took a deep breath and looked at him, “Aren’t you… going to scold me?”

“Why should I scold you?” Mu Xiaoyao’s thick brows furrowed lightly as he stared at her face.

“I… I wandered around everywhere with Uncle…”

“Can you change that?” He still had a serene expression, not a ripple in the depths of his eyes.

Baili Xia shook her head involuntarily; she couldn’t change this.

Uncle wanted to meet her, and she had no room to refuse.

Moreover, this date… she actually really liked it, really… it was sweet.

From the time the two of them met until now, how many such sweet moments had there been?

It was too precious, wasn’t it?
