Chapter 135: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 08_1

Not enough?

Is that his opinion of her?

Although Baili Xia was upset, she kept calm.

There was no need to explain anything to a person who didn’t mean much to her.

“Regardless, I won’t ask for your money, no matter how much you provide.”

She shoved the check back into his hand, then turned swiftly, and hastily walked back towards the main house.

What was it that gave her such brazen confidence?

Watching her small figure receding, Mu Xiaoyao straightened up, a complex look appeared in his eyes.

On her small face, the blush that had been there all day was finally gone.

Was she really so brave to forget the pain when the wound healed?

No, this woman, she just wants more!

Half a second later, he averted his gaze, picked up his laptop, before shutting the trunk forcefully.

He sneered coldly, and headed towards the main house.

…

“Grandpa, I’m back.”

Back in the hall, she sees Mu Zhentian chatting casually with Ziying on the sofa.

Baili Xia masks the tension she had felt in front of Mu Xiaoyao and called out softly with a smile.

“How did you find your first day at school?”

Watching Baili Xia approach, Mu Zhentian can’t help but ask with concern.

“Mmm, it was alright.

Grandpa, did you know?”

Not wanting to worry her grandfather Baili channels a cheerful demeanor.

“An Ran also decided to attend our school, so even if Ziying’s classes don’t coincide with mine, grandpa, you don’t have to worry about me feeling lonely.”

“If so, that’s good.” Mu Zhentian nodded.

He already had known about Ning Anran attending her school.

Turning to Ziying, Mu Zhentian continued with a slightly serious tone, even while still smiling.

“Watch over your sister in school.

After all, she’s new.

There is a lot she is not familiar with.”

“I know, grandpa.” Ziying was a bit discontent with Mu Zhentian’s words, considering they were both adults.

Grandpa, he really does favor Baili Xia a lot.

And yet, she still looked at him, nodding.

“Dinner is ready.

Go freshen up.

I’ll be waiting for you.”

Mu Zhentian stood up, gaze softened and filled with affection looking at Baili Xia.

The patriarch walked towards the side room, Baili Xia rises, intending to head towards the bathroom.

Unfortunately her eyes met with Mu Xiaoyao who just entered, his gaze, as always, was chilling.

In just an instant, Baili Xia felt as though she had been frozen.

Watching Baili Xia standing in a daze, Mu Zhentian frowned: “What’s wrong?

Xiaxia, are you feeling unwell?”

“No, grandpa, I’m going to the bathroom.”

Baili Xia gave Mu Xiaoyao a quick glance before nervously rushing towards the bathroom.

…

When Baili Xia came out of the bathroom, everyone was already waiting in the side room.

To her surprise, at the dinner table, along with Mu Xiaoyao and Mu Lingchuan, even Uncle was back.

He was currently looking at her with a unreadable gaze.

Why was uncle just staring at her…?

Was it because of what had happened this morning?

Was he still angry with her?

The already nervous Baili Xia became more flustered.

If it wasn’t for Mu Zhentian indicating where she should sit, she might still have been frozen in place.

“Grandpa, Uncle, big brother, second brother.”

Ziying, who’s of a similar age to her and came for food, was not greeted verbally by her.

She wanted to go to her grandpa, but heard Uncle’s voice: “Xiaxia, come sit here next to Uncle.”
