Mu Xiaoyao stopped his work, turned around, and looked at Baili Xia, a trace of surprise passing through his eyes.
What did this girl mean by this?
"Actually, I wanted to say that if Brother is really busy, he doesn't have to stay with me."
Baili Xia smiled and walked over, leaning against the back of his chair.
"Brother has his own room and should go back to rest. I need to sleep too."
"You don't need me to stay tonight?" Mu Xiaoyao frowned slightly.
Last night, hadn't she insisted on holding onto him, not allowing him to leave?
Baili Xia bit her lip, knowing what he was thinking.
She bit her finger and explained, "Actually... if I said I was scared last night, would you believe me?"
"Scared of what?" This wasn't a matter of believing or not; he believed whatever she said.
"I was afraid..." Baili Xia blinked her eyes, suddenly leaned closer to him, and whispered, "Uncle."
"Uncle won't harm you," Mu Xiaoyao immediately said.
