Chapter 1121

There was no response, nor did anyone reach out to catch the bottle of mineral water, yet a cold aura permeated the air.

Ye Hua couldn’t help but tense up.

What is Mr.

Xiaojiu trying to imply?

Suddenly coming to a realization, Ye Hua hurriedly put down the water, took out the earphones, and put them on.

Watching Ye Hua’s actions, Baili Xia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

Uncle was bullying someone again.

Once Ye Hua had put on the earphones and adjusted the sound, Mu Xiaojiu finally reined in the icy aura and shifted his butt toward Baili Xia.

Baili Xia immediately tensed up and her body squeezed even harder to the left.

But she was already up against the car door, almost as if she was going to squeeze herself into the door itself.

“Here, where do you think you can escape to?”

Ignoring Mu Xiaojiu, Baili Xia just held onto the car door even more tightly.

“Still planning to escape?” As he spoke, Mu Xiaojiu leaned toward Baili Xia and grabbed her arm in one swift motion.

With a strong pull, Baili Xia felt herself being lifted into the air.

By the time she realized it, she was already sitting on Mu Xiaojiu’s lap.

Baili Xia immediately struggled, even though her arms were restrained by Mu Xiaojiu.

Yet this little one was not docile at all, struggling fiercely.

“Still trying to run? Do you believe I could punish you right here and now?” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice lost much of its patience.

“Stop it! Let me go, let go, you jerk.”

At this point, Baili Xia could feel that Mu Xiaojiu was getting a bit angry, but she hadn’t yet vented her own anger.

“Your wings have grown hard, it seems. Today, you need a good re-education.”

With that said, Mu Xiaojiu made a move to press Baili Xia down onto the seat.

“Ah, stop! Let me go, you jerk!”

Her arms didn’t stop struggling, but her legs lifted, and she kicked at Mu Xiaojiu.

The kick wasn’t too heavy, nor too light, but it landed solidly on Mu Xiaojiu’s thigh.

For Mu Xiaojiu, this strength wasn’t really harmful, but the desperate struggle irritated him even more.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu’s actions halt, Baili Xia started to panic inside.

Uncle seemed to be truly angry this time, and she didn’t know what kind of punishment she would have to endure from him.

Thinking this, Baili Xia closed her eyes, not daring to look into Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes any longer, waiting to see how he would deal with her.

Time ticked by, yet the expected punishment didn’t come.

Baili Xia slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was still that handsome face that was outrageously good-looking.

He was very close, about ten centimeters away.

Mu Xiaojiu was leaning over her, his eyes irregularly fixed on hers.

“I didn’t know you didn’t like me keeping that girl at Sihai Residence, I’ve already sent her away, are you still not pleased?”

His plain voice left no room for doubt, the earnestness in his eyes seemed to tell Baili Xia that this was the reality, that’s how simple the truth was.

Baili Xia was once again stunned.

Her?

Which her was he referring to?

Ning Anran?

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t specify which ‘her’, but at this point, could he be referring to another ‘her’?

Baili Xia’s heart fluttered, suddenly feeling a lot more relieved.

This is how people are sometimes; even though they know in their hearts, if it’s not said out loud, it’s like a river blocked without an outlet.

Once a small hole is poked through, it will cause a breach, and finally release everything.

Baili Xia felt like such a river now, blocked for a long time.

A few simple words from Mu Xiaojiu expressed his intentions, and she felt as though she had found her way out.
