Chapter 1111

There were so many things I wanted to say to Uncle, I really wanted to go over and hug him.

But seeing Mu Xiaojiu standing relaxed by the writing desk, looking indifferently at me, I suddenly found myself unable to utter a single word.

My fingers clenched tightly, and after giving him one more look, I abruptly turned around and headed back to my room.

Originally, with Uncle away, I could only seek help from Brother to see if there was anything that could be done.

Tomorrow, Grandfather will have Manager Feng send out the invitations.

Once the invitations are sent, it’ll be too late; it’ll be as if Brother and I were engaged, and everyone from the Eight Big Families would know.

But I never expected, the person I was waiting for, he wasn’t just absent; he had no intention of seeing me at all.

When I was wandering and helpless, when I needed him the most, he…

wouldn’t see me.

The door slammed shut, and I had no expectations that Mu Xiaojiu would come to look for me.

Sitting by the window, I picked up a book to read.

Final exams are near, and once the competition is over, I’ll have to dive into intense revision for finals.

Going to university is not the same as high school or middle school; there’s no teacher to pressure you to review, everything depends on oneself.

Although, I’m not too worried about my own studies, meeting the standards is not difficult at all.

The hard part is, it’s not guaranteed to get good grades.

However, tonight I am really agitated.

Even the simplest content just refuses to enter my brain.

Even if I won’t admit it, in reality, I’ve been waiting for the sound of knocking.

I don’t know how long I’ve sat in my room, but finally, there’s a knock on the door!

I abruptly stood up, snapping the book shut, and tossed it aside to go open the door.

But then I think, is it not too shameless of me to act this way?

I am still angry with him, but at the sound of the knock, I immediately wanted to open the door for him.

People say girls should learn to be reserved, not to let men think you’re too easy to get.

What comes too easily, they won’t cherish, right?

But I really want to know what Uncle is actually thinking.

I don’t want to drag this matter out at all.

Finally, after hesitating for a few seconds, I strode over.

Issues need to be resolved, avoiding them is not a solution, petulance and sulking are even more meaningless.

Unexpectedly, before I even reached the door, it was already pushed open from outside.

Only, I didn’t expect the person coming in to be Brother, not Uncle.

“Where is he?” I asked instinctively.

Holding a bowl of medicine, Mu Xiaoyao instinctively glanced back before entering and casually closing the door.

“Uncle? He went back.”

I bit my lip and my heart instantly soured again.

That feeling of uncertainty is really uncomfortable.

If we’ve agreed to be together, why let me taste this bitterness?

Hot and cold, close and then distant, I can never guess what he’s really thinking.

“Come here and drink the medicine,” Mu Xiaoyao walked to the coffee table and placed the medicine bowl on it.

“Mr. Nangong brought it over; he had something to deal with Uncle, so the two left together.”

I walked over and looked up at him.

“I’m already fine, not sick or hurting, why do I still need to take medicine?”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t explain much, just gave me a faint glance.

“This is the medicine Mr. Nangong specially boiled for you on Uncle’s request, it’s a tonic. Regardless, let’s talk after you drink it.”
