As she tried to sleep, Baili Xia was still thinking about what Nangong Xu had just said.

Uncle is naturally cautious, which must be related to what he’s experienced from childhood to adulthood.

She wanted to trust him, but just as Nangong Xu had said, she couldn’t truly achieve complete trust.

If Uncle could open his heart and tell her the purpose of approaching her initially, could she truly have no reservations and face everything with him?

But she never knew what his plan was, or what the purpose was.

How could she trust without full transparency?

She thought she would have a sleepless night with all the overthinking, but as soon as she lay down in bed, her eyelids became so heavy that she could hardly keep them open.

She didn’t know how long she had slept when, in a daze, she felt someone enter the room.

A while later, that person walked to the bedside but didn’t sit or lie down.

They just stood there, doing something she couldn’t discern, seemingly watching her?

Baili Xia’s eyelids were heavy, and there was a vague discomfort in her belly, a weighty feeling like when her period was about to start.

Her health had really been poor lately, no wonder her master always wanted to have her checked.

She was just too scared to let them do it, scared of everything.

She always felt that if they checked, the child…

would no longer be hers alone.

Suddenly, the space beside her dipped as the person who’d been standing by the bed seemed to sit down.

Then, they lay down next to her…

When Baili Xia opened her eyes, what she saw was a chest that she couldn’t describe as anything but familiar.

The bathrobe was wide open, revealing a muscular chest right in front of her, less than half a palm’s distance from her face.

When her mind cleared up a bit and she recognized who was sleeping beside her, Baili Xia gasped involuntarily and instinctively wanted to move back.

But his long arm was resting on her lower back, not giving her any opportunity to retreat.

With no choice, Baili Xia was forced to continue sleeping in his embrace.

She wanted to look up and see his face, to discern his expression at that moment, but his other large hand was resting on her head.

With just a gentle press, she could only obediently lie on his arm, her face buried in his chest.

She didn’t even have the chance to glance at him.

Uncle didn’t let her look at him…

As the two slept together, she couldn’t even take a look at him; was it worthwhile to continue this torment?

Yet, this was how the man was; if he wasn’t pleased with something, he wouldn’t allow you to do it.

After struggling in vain, she could only continue to obediently sleep in his arms, calming herself down.

He didn’t speak, but she knew he wasn’t asleep.

Every time she tried to look up, he would press down on the back of her head, pushing her head back down.

The long arm resting around her waist was clearly still controlling the force, not pressing too heavily.

Both were awake, yet there was no communication at all…

Eventually, Baili Xia began to feel drowsy again.

Breathing in his familiar scent, her tense heart gradually relaxed.

Her eyes closed once more, and everything began to drift away from her…

…

The next morning, as usual, Mu Xiaojiu was nowhere to be seen.

After Baili Xia got ready, just as she was leaving her room, she saw Mu Xiaoyao, who was sitting at the dining table, waiting for her.

Recently, Brother had been really kind to her, and she didn’t know what she had done to deserve it, but such warmth was truly precious in these circumstances.

After a hurried breakfast and just as she was about to leave, someone knocked on the door.

Baili Xia glanced at Mu Xiaoyao, who said indifferently, “I’ll go take a look.”
