Chapter 1362

Since Mr.

Xiaojiu had no objections and even readily agreed, lunch naturally began.

Bei Tianyou and Mu Xiaojiu sat down first, and Ye Hua and Fan Yi also sat alongside them.

At the round table, there were two more seats, one for Baili Xia and the other for the manager of the island.

Baili Xia returned from the medicine field, only to be greeted by a scene that made her feel a bit awkward.

There was an empty seat beside both Uncle and Mr.

Bei, and she…

was standing right in the middle now.

Technically, she should sit next to Uncle, since she had come to Bei Miao with Mu Xiaoyao and Nangong Xu.

They were all Uncle’s people, so she somehow belonged on that side.

But she just didn’t want to sit next to him.

Her stiff legs stood in place for a moment, then she turned to walk towards Bei Tianyou.

“Girl, come over.” Unexpectedly, before she reached Bei Tianyou, Mu Xiaojiu’s soft voice sounded.

His voice was indeed gentle, yet within the gentleness was an undeniable authority.

Baili Xia didn’t even know what was happening; she clearly wanted to ignore him.

But as soon as he spoke, her legs seemed to go weak, and she turned and walked to his side.

Like an obedient servant responding to an imperial decree, without thinking, she immediately complied.

Her submissive nature acted up again!

Once Baili Xia sat down beside Mu Xiaojiu and realized what she had done, she really wished she could slap herself hard.

“Don’t always trouble Mr. Bei, how could you?” Mu Xiaojiu raised his hand, his long finger lightly brushed her nose.

He looked affectionate, unknowingly causing envy among the many female workers watching.

But only Baili Xia knew that beneath the table, his other large hand was firmly pressed on her thigh the moment she sat down.

The way he held her made it feel like an impossible feat to get up.

She turned to glance at him, could only secretly glare at him.

On the surface, however, she remained obedient.

“Understood.” she said softly.

Only then was Mu Xiaojiu satisfied; he considered withdrawing his hand from her thigh but hesitated, then resisted.

Not only did his hand not retract, it started to gently caress her thigh.

Baili Xia, having just picked up her cup to drink tea, was startled by his sudden impudence.

Her hand trembled, and the cup nearly slipped from her grasp.

Someone swiftly caught the cup with their large hand before it fell.

Placing the cup on the table, Mu Xiaojiu pulled Baili Xia over, gently holding her in his arms, speaking in a pampering tone.

“Is the island too cold? Come into Uncle’s arms, I’ll warm you up.”

Ahhh!

The surrounding women, none of them could contain their envy, their eyes wide.

Having an uncle like this, she was really fortunate; they all wished for such an uncle, boo hoo!

Baili Xia bit her lip, remained silent.

Said to warm her up, but who didn’t know his hand around her waist was doing what?

Boldly taking advantage of her, did he not fear being seen?

No, those people only looked at his face, listened to his syrupy words, who knew her inner pain?

“Cold? Need someone to bring you a coat?” Bei Tianyou sitting across suddenly asked.

Baili Xia moved her lips, hadn’t yet spoken, but already felt the long arm around her waist tighten instantly.

Startled, she could only look at Bei Tianyou, forcing a faint smile.

“Not cold, Uncle is here… blocking the wind.”
