Yi Xiu Jie apologized to her, also apologizing on behalf of his mother.

Zhang Xiao laughed sarcastically: "Don't tell me those three words, I know that you also find it difficult to do so. That is your mother by blood, and I am not related by blood to you at all. After all these years, you treated me like a blood brother, and I am already very grateful to you."

Zhang Xiao's words made Yi Xiu Jie even more embarrassed, but she did not know what else to say.

"It's very late, I'll rest first. You should get some rest as well."

Zhang Xiao took the initiative to end the call.

After placing the phone back on the bedside table, Zhang Xiao suddenly lost all sleepiness, and leaned on the bed. Her eyes inadvertently fell on the Maltese toy dog, which was also placed on the bedside table.

The clothes were very old, and the fabric was the same as those from more than twenty years ago. There were very few such fabrics nowadays.

But she was reluctant to change her old clothes.

She hoped that one day, she would be able to reunite with those people. This pup and the set of old clothes that she was wearing were keepsakes that she would recognize when they reunited in the future.

She could remember that the pup was given to her by a person she liked a lot, but she could not remember the names of those people.

She was only five years old that year.

After combing pup's hair, Zhang Xiao placed her back onto the bedside table. The toy dog had accompanied her to Twenty-Two and she was already accustomed to its presence.

Zhang Xiao did not immediately lie down to sleep. Instead, she got off the bed, put on her slippers and went to the children's room to take a look at Mu Ya.

The weather was hot and the air conditioning was on in the room. Mu Ya was also covered with a thin blanket, but the child was too young. Before Zhang Xiao had arrived, a few nanny s had already taken turns to cover him with a blanket.

Walking out of the room, the sensing light at the entrance lit up, and the entire villa was shrouded in darkness and silence. She was afraid that she would disturb other people's sweet dreams, so she intentionally walked towards Mu Ya's children's room with light steps.

Her room was very close to Mu Ya's room. Mu Chen had arranged this so that she could take care of the child nearby.

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiao had already entered children's room.

The little girl on the bed had indeed kicked off her blanket, but luckily the temperature of the room was adjusted to a moderate degree, and she helped Mu Ya change into a long sleeveless shirt to sleep, not feeling cold at all.

He went to the bed and bent down to help cover the sleeping child with a thin blanket. Mu Ya's sleeping appearance was even cuter than when she was awake, causing Zhang Xiao's heart to itch. Unable to resist, he sat down on the edge of the bed, and then bent down to lightly kiss Mu Ya's face.

Mu Ya did not react.

She kissed it again.

Mu Ya casually waved her hand, her petite body turned, and she turned.

Zhang Xiao didn't dare to kiss her again because he was afraid of waking her up, but she didn't leave right away. Instead, she sat on the side of the bed and stared at Mu Ya. The children's room was very warm, but there was still a bit of space. Mu Ya was only a year and a half old, yet he allowed her to sleep in a room by herself ? She felt that Mu Ya should have slept with the adults at her age. This way, she would sleep even more peacefully.

Mu Chen had once said that the bed that Mu Ya was sleeping on was prepared by the couple for him. Most likely, this room was personally made by them. After Ning Tong left, Mu Chen planned to let her daughter stay in a room that her mother had personally arranged for her, so that her daughter could live under the halo of motherly love. But he ignored the fact that the child was really too young, even though the child, after a certain age, had to let go properly so that the child could learn to be independent and to take care of herself.

After sitting for a while, Zhang Xiao finally stood up and turned around. She was about to leave when she bumped into someone in her embrace. Before she could recover her wits, the person pushed her with his hand in disgust, causing her to fall backward in shock.

Behind her was Mu Ya's bed.

However, she did not fall onto the bed. Instead, a pair of large hands quickly wrapped around her waist. The moment those large hands exerted their strength, she was pulled back in front of him.

When she looked at him, he released his hold on her waist in disgust, as if her waist was covered in poison and he would die if he touched it.

"Mr. Mou?"

Zhang Xiao saw it clearly, it was Mu Chen.

Mu Chen had just scooped her up and was staring at her with those dark eyes that were like deep wells. It was as if she was throwing herself into his arms.

"Why do you always appear behind me without saying a word?" Zhang Xiao grumbled at the man who had the potential to be a ghost. Catching the annoyance in his eyes, she snappily said, "Don't worry, I didn't fall in love with you. Just now, it was an accident; it was because you silently stood behind me that I bumped into you.

Mu Chen's gaze turned even deeper as he glared at her even more fiercely.

Zhang Xiao was depressed, it was obviously his fault, she was careless, why did it sound like it was her fault?

"You think we're at a disadvantage?" Zhang Xiao sarcastically opened her arms wide, and said sarcastically: "If you think that I have suffered a loss, then let me give you a hug."

Mu Chen:...

Shameless!

He silently rebuked in his heart.

But her ears were secretly red, luckily Zhang Xiao did not notice.

Of course, Zhang Xiao would not really hug him back. It was just an accident just now, she just could not bear to see Mu Chen's displeased expression. Seeing Mu Chen not saying a word, she walked past him, and when she brushed past him, she even whispered to Mu Chen: "You really have the potential to be a ghost!"

Mu Chen:...

When he pushed the door open and came in, she was secretly kissing his precious daughter, so focused on her child that she didn't hear his footsteps. He swore to God that when he walked in, there was really a sound.

Zhang Xiao walked to the door as he replied in a low tone, "Is a ghost as handsome as me?"

Zhang Xiao staggered, and was almost choked down by his narcissistic speech.

Turning her head, she wanted to mock him a few more times, but when she received his unfathomable gaze, she suddenly felt that there was no point in speaking any further. The most he could give her was this kind of deep gaze.

Therefore, Zhang Xiao magnanimously didn't want to argue with this fellow who frightened her and caused her to fall into his embrace again. He even had a face full of disdain, and continued to argue with him as if she was taking advantage of him.

"Don't wake Mu Ya up, wake her up. You decide for yourself."

With that, Zhang Xiao left.

Mu Chen opened his mouth and wanted to refute her. When she secretly kissed Mu Ya, why wasn't he afraid of waking him up?

Only her state official was allowed to set fire to it. He was not allowed to light the lamps?
