Mu Xiaojiu was still staring at her, his voice steady, without the slightest fluctuation.

Only he knew that at this moment, he could hardly wait to pull her into his arms.

"Uncle, you're not well now, you need to rest."

He raised an eyebrow, a clear hint of annoyance in his eyes.

This action frightened Baili Xia so much that she almost cried out.
