Chapter 970: Didn't Sleep All Night

Baili Xia bit her lower lip and said nothing.

It wasn’t up to her to decide whether or not to stay with Uncle.

Uncle made decisions without considering her wishes at all.

But in the end, she nodded and gave her grandfather a faint smile, “I understand, nothing’s wrong, I won’t bother him.”

The two of them chatted in the room for a bit longer, and when the time was about right, the old man waved his hand to have Baili Xia leave.

As she was leaving, he suddenly remembered something.

“Right, if your classmate, An Ran, likes living at Sihai Residence, let her stay there.”

“Grandpa really likes this girl.

I heard her family no longer wants her.

You should look after her more, help her out so that she doesn’t have too tough a time by herself.”

Baili Xia nodded hurriedly, “I understand, I’ll ask her opinion later, of course, Uncle would have to agree too.”

Sihai Residence belonged to Uncle, it wasn’t up to her to decide whatever she wanted.

However, it seemed that Uncle didn’t object to Ning Anran staying.

Though, she didn’t know why Uncle was so special towards Ning Anran.

But, if one was willing to let her stay and the other also willing to stay, then it no longer had anything to do with her.

The old man nodded, and after Baili Xia greeted him, she left.

The servants had already prepared breakfast, but Baili Xia had little appetite and quickly ate something.

When the old man came out of his room and headed to the side hall, she had already eaten and was getting up to leave.

A sleepy person was following behind the old man, Brother.

Seeing him like this, Baili Xia became curious, “Brother, why do you look like…

you didn’t sleep all night?”

“Hmm.” Mu Xiaoyao nodded and didn’t say much, walking to the dining table and grabbing a piece of pastry to start nibbling on.

He actually said “Hmm”—did he really stay up all night last night?

But Baili Xia didn’t press on, all these important people had their own issues, what right did she have to ask?

She went upstairs, tidied up her things in her room, and by the time she came down, Mu Xiaoyao had finished his breakfast.

This time she was driving again, Mu Xiaoyao sat in the passenger seat, and the two of them headed to Imperial College.

After last night’s events and a night’s sleep, it seemed like everyone didn’t take it too seriously, at least, Brother wasn’t angry today.

Perhaps because there were too many things to handle, there was neither the time nor the energy to be angry.

…There was a meeting at school today; no classes were needed, and Baili Xia had to go back for the meeting.

As for Mu Xiaoyao, as long as he had his computer, it didn’t matter where he was.

To give her more practice driving on the road, he also went to school.

However, today Baili Xia had a lot on her mind.

While driving on the road, she nearly rear-ended the car in front several times.

It was only when Mu Xiaoyao sternly told her to focus that she finally managed to pull her thoughts back.

Being distracted while driving, she’d discuss whatever it was back at school.

Upon returning to the academy, Mu Xiaoyao went straight back to the apartment.

Baili Xia went to the classroom, which was noisy with activity.

Tan Xiao and Chen Ming saw her return and immediately greeted her.

But Baili Xia was listless, uninterested in interacting with anyone.

Ning Anran hurried into the classroom just in time, quickly moving through the crowd toward the back corner.

But unexpectedly, Baili Xia also sat there today.

Ning Anran had already reached the table and it wouldn’t make sense for her to leave just because Baili Xia was there.

Such a withdrawal would seem too obvious.

So, after hesitating for a moment, she sat down and gave her a faint smile, “Xiaxia.”
