Chapter 964: He's Not Afraid She's Terrified

It was Grandpa and Ning Anran.

They had gone upstairs and were walking this way.

Had Baili Xia’s training not improved recently, combined with the room’s excellent soundproofing, she would never have heard them.

“Uncle… Grandpa… they might be here for me.”

Baili Xia panicked, immediately trying to push Mu Xiaojiu off her, aiming to jump off his lap.

However, Mu Xiaojiu still held her tight in his arms, looking down.

“So what if they are here looking for you?

Are you afraid of being seen?”

“You…

aren’t you afraid?”

“I’m not afraid.

If they see us, then we can be open about it later.” He looked down again, apparently not scared at all.

“No! We can’t, Grandpa has heart disease; he can’t be agitated.” She was truly terrified, yet the man remained unperturbed.

It was like he truly wasn’t afraid of their affair being exposed to everyone.

“It’s not your grandpa,” Mu Xiaojiu scoffed, dismissing the idea entirely.

“But… but, he’s your dad!”

His movements paused slightly at her words, and in that pause, the two outside indeed stopped right outside her room door.

The old man knocked on the door, his voice still carrying an evident chuckle: “Xiaxia, are you asleep? May I come in?”

Baili Xia was so flustered, she tried with all her might to push Mu Xiaojiu away, but he still held her tightly, with no intention of letting go.

This guy really wasn’t afraid.

All Grandpa needed to do was open the door, and he would see what they were doing on the couch.

Their clothes disheveled, it was obvious what they were doing.

He really wasn’t afraid.

“Un… Hm…” He was troubling her again.

Outside, the old man, not hearing Baili Xia’s response, couldn’t help but knock on the door again.

“Xiaxia, it’s Grandpa. An Ran’s clothes got dirty, I brought her here to borrow a set from you.”

Inside, Baili Xia was so nervous, her whole body tensed up, not knowing what to do, when suddenly Mu Xiaojiu picked her up.

“…” She shook her head frantically, tears almost sliding down.

He…

how could he!

How could he at such a terrifying moment!

“Xiaxia, are you asleep? Just let An Ran change her clothes,” the old man persisted.

Maybe Xiaxia was asleep, but they had only just come upstairs.

Even if she had gone to bed, she couldn’t have fallen asleep so quickly.

Ning Anran looked at the old man, smiled, and shook her head, “It’s okay, they are just a bit wet, don’t worry.”

She glanced at the tightly closed door again, lowering her gaze: “Xiaxia must be asleep. Let’s not disturb her.”

Inside, Baili Xia gripped Mu Xiaojiu’s wrist tightly but couldn’t stop his actions.

When Ning Anran said those words, she couldn’t agree more in her heart.

Could Grandpa leave first?

This guy…

The bad guy holding her now, she really couldn’t handle it anymore!

“How about that?” Mu Xiaojiu chuckled lowly, but unfortunately, the smile didn’t reach his eyes.

“I… I was wrong, ah! Uncle, I was wrong.”

She understood then.

He was deliberately punishing her.

This was the punishment for her going out with Dongfang Jin.

He was warning her in such a terrible way not to see Dongfang Jin again, to have no contact with unrelated men.

She was so nervous she almost bit off her tears, but he…

didn’t care at all.

“I was wrong, I…

uh—ouch…”

“Xiaxia, what’s that sound?

What are you doing?”

The old man outside finally heard some noise and started to feel puzzled…
