Chapter 137: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 10_1

“Hmm…” Baili Xia couldn’t help but mumble quietly.

“Xiaxia, what’s wrong?” Mu Ziying, who was not far from them, immediately sensed something was off.

“No, no-thing, I bit-ted my tongue.” Baili Xia was scared out of her wits.

She glanced at Mu Ziying and quickly looked towards Mu Zhentian, hurriedly trying to divert everyone’s attention to another topic.

“Grandpa, what if I make some pastries, would that be all right?”

“That would be fine, but you mustn’t tire yourself out.

It would break grandpa’s heart, understand?”

“I understand, I won’t tire myself out.”

But that big paw was still probing upwards continuously!

Baili Xia’s brows furrowed, and she suddenly lifted her foot as Mu Zhentian ordered the soup to be served, stepping fiercely onto Mu Xiaojiu’s shoe!

Bastard!

Daring to touch…

touch her during dinner!

It was unbearable!

Death before dishonor!

She’ll…

she’ll give them a fight for their life!

Of course, Baili Xia’s foot wasn’t going to actually land on Uncle’s, but it was enough to make him behave a bit.

She glanced at him fiercely from the corners of her eyes, but in order not to arouse grandpa’s suspicion, she could only grit her teeth and swallow the indignation.

The interaction between the two went unnoticed by others, but Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao had seen plenty.

Baili Xia, this girl, dare to step on Uncle, and even glared at him?

What an incredible thing, has Uncle really indulged a little girl to this extent?

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say a word, his gaze on Baili Xia added a shade of darkness, making it completely impossible to know what he was thinking.

The meal passed quietly, nobody said another word.

But they each had their thoughts.

…

Baili Xia was a little tired today, as it was the first day of school and her biological clock was still adapting.

Upon returning to her room and fetching a set of nightgowns, she turned and entered the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, to her surprise, there was an imposing figure in her room.

Seeing the man standing quietly, Baili Xia unconsciously retreated until her back was pressed against the wall.

“What are you doing here?”

Looking up at the man who was approaching her, she tried to dodge, but she was too slow compared to him.

The moment she wanted to escape, Mu Xiaoyao stretched out his arms, trapping her between him and the wall.

Seeing his position, Baili Xia was so panicked that she almost forgot to breathe.

Mu Xiaoyao curled the corner of his lips, took a breath through his nose, and smiled contemptuously.

“What am I here for?

Don’t you know very well?”

“What do you…

mean?

Back off!

If you don’t, don’t blame me for being rude!”

Considering Mu Xiaoyao had bullied her at school, Baili Xia had no intention of repairing their relationship.

This man, he simply couldn’t get along with her.

If they can’t get along, it’s better to keep a distance and not interact at all, that would be best.

Pleasing someone is truly a tiresome task and she wasn’t interested in it.

She wanted to escape from his arms, but his arm blocked her way, and Baili Xia had no way to break free.

Looking at his cold eyes, she bit her lip: “What exactly do you want?

I’ve returned your check!”

“Did you return it because it was too little?” Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes added a touch of coldness.

There was contempt, even disgust!

“You’re not very old, but you’re quite greedy!”

Baili Xia really didn’t want to bother with him, why couldn’t she get through to him?

Compared to her previous older brother, Mr.

Mu, the second young master of the Mu family was evidently harder to deal with!
