Chapter 946: You want to meet Guisu

Coming out of the kitchen and drying her hands, Baili Xia brewed another pot of tea for Mu Xiaoyao.

She stood by the coffee table, looking at him sitting on the sofa, “Brother, I want to go out for a bit.”

“Where to?” He poured himself some tea, his movements somewhat careless.

Baili Xia, without even thinking, immediately said, “I’ve arranged to meet Zimo and Xiaoxiao,” we, we haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

“You know, during this period, I’ve always been by your side, not seeing anyone, and we already missed their last invitation.”

“Where to?” Mu Xiaoyao, without even lifting his head, picked up his cup and took a sip.

The tea was too hot, so he put the cup back down and leaned on the sofa, looking at her.

“How long will you be gone?”

“Just… It won’t be long, just a meetup, maybe we’ll have some afternoon tea.”

Looking at him, she assured again, “Really, it won’t be long.”

“Alright, I’ll go with you.” Mu Xiaoyao stood up, ready to head out with her.

Baili Xia was startled and quickly shook her head and waved her hands, “No, no, that won’t work.”

Mu Xiaoyao raised his eyebrow, looking at her, “No?

What do you mean?”

“You’re a boy, and we, we’re all girls, it’s inconvenient to bring a guy when girls go out shopping.”

“You wouldn’t enjoy following us around doing such a boring thing.”

Afraid he might suspect something, she hurriedly explained further, “Brother, us girls really don’t like having a guy join our outings.”

Mu Xiaoyao still stared at her face, trying to discern any peculiarity from her expression.

But other than looking somewhat uneasy, she had no other expressions.

Uneasy, and seemingly really afraid of him following.

“Are you going to meet Guisu?” His brow furrowed slightly, considering this possibility, his expression darkened again.

“No, absolutely not, I swear on my honor, I swear to you.” And she could swear on that, because it was true.

“Forget it, just come back early.” He could see she wasn’t lying.

Keeping her confined by his side for over a week, the poor girl was indeed bored.

He sat back on the sofa, took his laptop, placed it on the coffee table, and opened it.

“Don’t stay out too long, and that girl named Zimo, you’d better stick with her all the time.”

“I know, the three of us won’t separate.”

Baili Xia knew what he meant, she had seen his attitude towards Zimo from last time.

He felt reassured with Zimo around because of her capable skills.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she had Zimo as her shield.

Uncle and brother both recognized Zimo’s capabilities as good.

Finally, Mu Xiaoyao didn’t stop her anymore, and Baili Xia immediately grabbed her purse to leave.

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her from behind, “Not driving?”

“My skills are really not good, and without you watching over me, I don’t have the courage.”

Baili Xia turned back, gave him a reassuring smile, “I’d better take a taxi. I’ll learn to drive when you’re with me.”

Mu Xiaoyao had no objections to this; he was also not at ease with her driving alone.

Seeing him wave his hand, Baili Xia headed toward the door as if she had been granted amnesty.

Opening the front door, and not until she had left the building and shut the door behind her, did she finally breathe a deep sigh of relief.

Brother really hadn’t followed her; she had managed to shake him off.

It had been hard to find this slot of time, she had to hurry and finish what needed to be done.
