Chapter 1025

“From here to the first resting spot, it’s at least a ten-kilometer journey. Are you sure you want to walk there by yourself?”

Mu Xiaojiu squinted his dark eyes and stared directly into her flickering eyes.

The mountain road was rugged; ten kilometers was enough to keep her walking all morning.

Walking several hours through mountainous paths, let’s see if she could manage it!

“I… I don’t want to go up there. Can I go back instead?” Beyond the beach behind her, the cruise ship was still anchored.

All she needed was for someone to send her back to the other shore; she really didn’t want to go to a place that was “his” alone.

She always felt this place wasn’t suitable for her.

After everything she had gone through, she didn’t want to be involved in anything related to him anymore.

She just wanted to stay calm and protect her baby.

Now, having her come to such an important place, what exactly did he intend to do?

Was the moment to exploit her finally arriving?

But Mu Xiaojiu didn’t give her a chance to think; as he stamped on the ground, his motorcycle roared to life.

The modified motorcycle with an engine sounded as harsh as an airplane radar.

Baili Xia thought he had finally lost patience and planned to go on his own.

Unexpectedly, he was backing up!

She was startled, intending to dodge, but he moved so fast that in the blink of an eye, the motorcycle had reversed right up to her.

Mu Xiaojiu reached out his long arm, giving Baili Xia no chance to struggle.

With a tight grip around her waist, he lifted her onto the bike.

Mr.

Xiaojiu…

had taken hold of the girl!

The brothers who always stayed on the island stared at the two embraced on the motorcycle, each of their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

Yet, their expressions returned to normal at once, the surprise vanishing in an instant.

Their demeanor clearly was the result of strict training and development.

But Baili Xia had no attention to spare for this.

At this moment, her focus was entirely on the motorcycle.

“Uncle!” she subconsciously clung to Mu Xiaojiu’s neck, the motorcycle being higher than she had expected; she truly feared falling off.

Especially since Mu Xiaojiu had asked her to sit sideways on his lap.

Any slight mishap in this position could really throw her off.

“Uncle, I… I don’t want to ride this kind of motorcycle.” She was truly scared.

If he drove any faster, she could be thrown off—and the baby in her belly…

No, did Uncle…

did he actually want to cause an accident on purpose, to hurt her child…

The thought made Baili Xia’s face turn utterly pale.

But Mu Xiaojiu had already started the motorcycle and began driving on the uneven mountain road.

It wasn’t particularly fast, but the bumpy and uneven road caused the ride to be very rough.

Baili Xia couldn’t think of anything else and only clung tightly to his neck, terrified of being thrown off.

However, after sitting on his lap, the ride didn’t seem as bumpy as she had imagined.

Even though it still shuddered, sitting on his legs rather than directly on the hard seat made the vibrations bearable, and her rear didn’t hurt much.

When she calmed down a bit, she noticed that Uncle still had one long arm around her waist, holding her securely in his embrace.

He…

was holding her with one arm and driving with the other on such an uneven road…

“Uncle, be careful!” A jolt frightened Baili Xia, making her tighten her grip around Mu Xiaojiu’s neck, fearing the two of them might fall off the bike together.

Driving with one hand was too dangerous!

Mu Xiaojiu’s face showed no emotion, nor did he take the jolt seriously.

Only when she clung tighter did his cool lips move slightly, murmuring a few indifferent words.

“If you don’t want to die, it would be best not to cling so tightly; if I can’t breathe, you won’t be better off either.”
