but the little girl was like she was firmly rooted on him. Ironically, at this moment, his legs suddenly went numb.His body swayed, and along with him, Mu Xing fell into the hot spring.Falling into t...Ning Chi turned her head, her expression full of surprise, then immediately, with great composure, refused: "No need, Uncle Fu. It's not appropriate. I'll go eat with Butler Wu and the others."

It's fine, come over.

Fu Lingxiao's voice was faint, but his tone was unyielding.

Ning Chi immediately walked over and sat down beside him.

Fu Lingxiao pushed the bowl of rice Ning Chi chi had served him to her, took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to her. Then he filled his own bowl and began to eat slowly and methodically.

After Ning Chi received the chopsticks, she kept them tightly clenched in her hand.

Seeing that she wasn't eating, Fu Lingxiao asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you eating"

Ning Chi chi bit her lip, set her jaw with determination, and asked him, "Uncle Fu, are you afraid I put poison in the food"

Fu Lingxiao looked at her, the corners of his mouth curving into an arc. “Would I be afraid”

His breathtakingly handsome face held a touch of nonchalance, but his aura remained undiminished. Ning Chi was captivated by his unique mature charm.

Then, the man's voice, tinged with amusement, continued: "I just don't want you to become a maid, little girl. You tend to overthink things."

Ning Chi smiled sheepishly at the man, then lowered her head to eat.

She knew in her heart that this man was cautious and suspicious. Agreeing to take her in didn't mean he trusted her. Winning his trust wouldn't be easy.

This mission is a long and arduous one!

-Mu Xing slept soundly, waking up on a man's bed. The blanket smelled faintly of sandalwood and agarwood, the same as the man himself.

She caught a whiff of the scent and her mind involuntarily drifted back to that time in the bathroom.

Uncle's lips, and his hands...

I'm so embarrassed!

Mu Xing's cheeks were burning hot. She suddenly pulled the blanket up to cover her head, rolling around inside for a few moments. Then, she carefully lifted the blanket, revealing a pair of eyes that scanned the room.

The curtains were drawn tight, the only light coming from a bedside lamp. The dim room was deathly silent, with no sign of the man.

She let out a sigh of relief, sat up, and the towel wrapped around her slipped down.

Thinking back to when her uncle had wrapped her in a towel and carried her out of the bathroom, Mu Xing's face flushed even redder. She took the clothes the man at the head of the bed had prepared for her and changed.

Ignoring her somewhat soft legs, Mu Xing opened the door and stepped out of the master bedroom. She saw Wu Butler standing by the door, turning his head to greet her with a smile: "Little Mu Xing, you're awake"

Mùxīng inexplicably felt that Wú Guānjǐ's smile held a lot of meaning, which made her feel a little embarrassed. She slightly averted her gaze, "Uncle Gūn, are you waiting for me here"

"Well, your uncle is waiting for you to wake up."

In order to know the moment his little one woke up, he stayed at the master bedroom door right after finishing his lunch.

"The young master went to the company and asked me to wait for you to wake up. He'll have dinner brought up to you. Uncle will go downstairs now and bring you some food. You should go wash up."

"No, I'll just go eat by myself," Mu Xing refused.

"Well done, well done! Our little Muxing has worked hard. Take a good rest."

Butler Wu chuckled as he gently pushed Mu Xing into the room. He was being extra careful, afraid that the future young master might be working hard inside. He had to protect the little one.

"Uncle is back soon."

Wu Guanjia pushed Mu Xing into the room and quickly turned to leave.

Mu Xing watched his jubilant back, and the slightly bouncing happy steps, couldn't help but frown, how strange was Butler today

When Mu Xing came out after washing up, Wu the butler had already brought the meal to the study and invited her to eat.

After dinner, Mu Xing borrowed a phone from Uncle Wu and called her little uncle.

"What's wrong"

A magnetic voice whispered in his ear.

Mu Xing's ear tips inexplicably warmed, "Little uncle, it's me."

On the phone, the voice that had just been as distant as smoke suddenly became as gentle as water. "Baby, are you awake Have you had lunch"

"I'm done eating."

Mu Xing rubbed her burning ears and said, "Little uncle, a few days ago on Qingyun Mountain, I was attacked and my phone was snatched away. That SIM card is the one you helped me get. I can't apply for a new one with my own ID card, so could you please help me apply for a new one"

"The man softly replied, "Good." He then asked, "Baby, is there anything else you want to tell me"

Mu Xing blinked her big eyes, "Gone."

She just wanted to ask her uncle to help her get a mobile phone card.

A low chuckle came from the other end of the line, "Alright, sweetheart, see you tonight."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Xing took her cell phone to return it to Wu Guanjia.

Ning Chi hobbled up the stairs, and the two met at the top of the stairs.

Ning Chi smiled and took the initiative to greet: "Miss Mu Xing."

Mu Xing didn't want to pay her any attention, and walked past her downstairs.

Ning Chi looked at her back and said unhurriedly, "Miss Mu Xing, are you so hostile to me because you're afraid I'll take away Uncle Fu"

Mu Xing paused, turning back with a disdainful look in her eyes. "You"

"Miss Mu Xing seems very confident, doesn't she"

Ning Chi's face was wearing a serene smile. "Well, I have to admit, your relationship with Uncle Fu is very good, and you both acted very well. But Miss Mu Xing, don't forget there's a saying called 'acting becomes real'. Can you guarantee that Uncle Fu will always keep his heart"

Mu Xing's face changed slightly.

It turns out that this Ning Chi had already seen through the charade she and her uncle were putting on, so she'd been cooperating with them all along.

She just didn't understand why Ning Chichi suddenly made things so clear.

She looked at Ning Chi Chi in confusion, only to see the tranquil smile on Ning Chi Chi's face turn into a provocative one, like a cat baring its sharp claws. "Miss Mu Xing, you must keep an eye on Uncle Fu!"

Then you work hard.

Mu Xing ignored her words, leaving with a lighthearted remark before turning and going downstairs.

If it were anyone else, she might feel uneasy, but it was her uncle. She believed firmly that her uncle would definitely protect her heart.

Returning the phone to Wu Guanjia, Mu Xing arrived at the villa entrance and looked up towards the roof, shouting: “Shen Lue Gege, are you there”

Shen Lue, who was sitting on the rooftop thinking about life, heard Mu Xing calling him and immediately leaped down, landing precisely in front of her. "What's wrong, Little Star"

Mu Xing smiled at him, “I’m going to the old house to help grandma with her lumbar spine rehabilitation. Brother Shen Yue must go with me, right Why don’t you drive me”

Okay.

This is still Little Star's first time inviting him out!

Shen Yue excitedly went to the garage to retrieve a car, taking Mu Xing away from the manor.

On the way to the old house, Mu Xing asked Shen Lue: "Shen Lue brother, have there been any news about the person I asked you to investigate last time"

Shen Luye drove with a relaxed posture and replied, "Not yet. I checked immigration records, and there's no record of him. His last known whereabouts lead to the outskirts of the imperial capital."

"I judge that he's still in the country. I've sent people to look for him along the direction he left, but the area is too large, it will take some time. Just be patient a little longer, and I'll let you know as soon as I have news."'t suppress it. It even dispelled her drowsiness."I'll take you back to the estate! No, to the hospital, it's closer."Shen Lue wanted to help Mu Xing, but when he thought of that scorching temperature...
