Chapter 995: Suddenly Back in His Arms

Mu Xiaojiu slowly turned around, bent down, and picked up Baili Xia in his arms.

Nestled in Mu Xiaojiu’s embrace, Baili Xia seemed to find a support, feeling somewhat groggy.

Having competed several times, for Baili Xia who was already unwell today, it was indeed too much.

She was tired and at that moment, she truly wanted to sleep quietly.

The situation earlier had plunged Baili Xia into extreme panic.

In that instant, without thinking, she desperately tried to protect her abdomen.

Once having thought about secretly getting rid of the child, now recalling it, she felt ashamed of her own thoughts and was relieved that she hadn’t gone through with it.

The child, her first child, she would protect him even if it cost her life.

The competition was over.

Due to the withdrawal of Mu Xiaojiu and Dongfang Jin, Mu Xiaoyao won first place in the men’s category.

In the women’s category, due to Sima Liuyue’s crazed behavior at the last moment, nearly attacking Baili Xia with malice, her score was disqualified.

Ultimately, Baili Xia won first place in the women’s category, a result that was completely unexpected by everyone.

Although she won the competition, the expressions of the Mu family were not pleasant.

Sir Mu had been held back by Sir Mu the entire time, summarizing today’s competition with him and also discussing the events of the next competition.

He wanted to check on Baili Xia but simply couldn’t escape.

Fortunately, by evening, the news came that Miss Xiaxia was only a bit shocked and not injured; Sir Mu was finally reassured.

…

Once in the car, Baili Xia slowly came back to her senses.

Just now, the murderous intent in Sima Liuyue’s eyes, along with the fear of possibly losing her child, had left her head in a daze.

Only now, as the car left the venue, smoothly driving on the road, did she wake up.

The child was not injured; he was still fine in her abdomen…

She heaved a deep sigh of relief.

Although she was still haunted by Sima Liuyue’s inexplicably crazed murderous aura, at least she was now safe.

Someone was holding her…

She suddenly looked up, her eyes meeting Mu Xiaojiu’s deep black pupils, and her heart tightened.

She quickly sat up, calling, “Uncle.”

Her voice was still a bit hoarse and dull.

Although they had spoken quite a bit today, much more than in the entire last week combined, it was all about the competition.

Except for the competition, they hadn’t spoken about anything else.

Now, after more than a week of a cold war between them, he suddenly held her, and she suddenly realized she was in his arms…

She didn’t know what words to use to describe this feeling.

She straightened her body on his lap, intending to move down onto a corner of the back seat.

But with just a gentle bend of his long arm, she lost her balance and fell back onto him.

“Uncle,” fearing she would fall, she subconsciously grasped his lapel.

But her face grew cold after clearly seeing his calm, unflustered eyes.

She now had nothing to say.

If it hadn’t been for the competition, they probably would have continued like the previous week, not speaking a word.

“I’m fine now, let me down,” Baili Xia said lightly.

Mu Xiaojiu still didn’t speak; the long arm wrapped around her waist not only didn’t loosen but instead tightened.

Baili Xia thus lay back in his embrace, without a chance to get up.

She lay slantingly, resting her head on his chest.

This position left her completely unable to exert any strength.
