Mu Xiaoyao's "Mmm" caused Baili Xia's heart to jump into her throat.
Just minutes ago, she stiffly rejected the old master's request, yet in the blink of an eye, she agreed to let Mu Ziying take her to school.
With such a stark contrast, how could the old master not be angry?
As expected, when Baili Xia turned her head to look at the old master, she saw his complexion turn ashen, his breathing somewhat hurried.
Just as Baili Xia was about to say something to soothe him, she caught a glimpse of Ning Anran reaching out a hand, gently tugging at the old master's clothes.
Clearly, Ning Anran also noticed the old master was angry.
Fearing he would stand up for her, she quickly pulled on his clothes, pleading with him not to speak.
The old master glanced at Ning Anran, his eyes filling with appreciation and compassion.
Soon, Mu Ziying also finished eating, and after a hasty farewell to the old master, the three of them left the house together.
