Mu Xiaoyao's protection warmed Baili Xia's heart, but she still disagreed.
He wasn't afraid other families would come looking for trouble, accusing him, a grown man, of bullying two little girls?
After all, it was just girls bickering. If even that required the men from the families to step in, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
She wasn't that weak.
Everyone from the major families had arrived, and the drawing of lots for the competition would soon begin.
Dongfang Jin, who came in haste, immediately pulled Baili Xia into a corner after his arrival.
Staring at her slightly pale face, he was still worried, "Would it be better to drop out? I can go talk to Mu Xiaojiu."
"No!" Baili Xia grabbed his sleeve forcefully, her face showing urgency, "Jin, haven't we already agreed? I'm going to participate in today's competition."
"But you..." His gaze involuntarily drifted to her stomach, and Dongfang Jin couldn't relax at all.
"You know your condition, how could you..."
