Chapter 142: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 15_1

Uncle…the thought of him, his face, his strong arms, for some reason, evoked a strong urge deep within her.

She needed to see him, she had to see him as though only in his presence would she feel safe!

Clearing her thoughts, she flung off her blankets and tumbled off the bed.

Slipping on her slippers, she rushed to her door.

Opening it to find no one in the second-floor corridor, she hurriedly ran downstairs.

The faintly lit lobby was deserted as she descended the staircase.

No one was in the lobby, the servants had all gone to bed, with only the security patrolling outside.

At this hour, the deafening silence made Baili Xia feel even more fearful.

Rushing through the lobby, not caring if her frantic behavior alerted anyone, she quickly headed for Sihai Residence.

Several security personnel stopped her along the way, asking what’s going on.

Baili Xia paid them no heed and ran straight to the entrance of Sihai Residence.

Only upon seeing the sign “Sihai Residence” did she finally take a deep breath of relief.

But that relief left her breathless, her legs gave out and she suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

Unbeknownst to her, one of the security guards saw her and reported it to Ye Hua.

When Ye Hua arrived, Baili Xia was sprawled on the ground, utterly powerless to get up.

“Miss Xiaxia, what are you doing sitting here?

The ground is cold.”

It was September, near Mid-Autumn, a girl sitting on the floor in the middle of the night could catch a cold.

Ye Hua walked over and gently helped her to her feet.

As soon as Baili Xia could stand, she immediately grabbed the corner of his clothes.

Looking up at him, she croaked: “I…I want to see Uncle.”

Ye Hua wanted to inform Uncle ahead, but since Baili Xia was clinging onto him, he reluctantly led her into the lobby first.

Baili Xia knew where Uncle’s room was.

Therefore, when Ye Hua said he would go up and notify Mr.

Xiaojiu first, without a second thought, she pushed him aside and sprinted for the stairs.

Ye Hua hastily chased after her, wanting to stop her.

But Miss Xiaxia’s face was deathly pale, her eyes vacant, almost as if she had been greatly frightened.

Faced with Miss Xiaxia in this state, he couldn’t help but soften his heart.

He hesitated for a moment and Baili Xia had already run to the second floor.

Only then did Ye Hua belatedly give chase, concerned that Baili Xia might walk in on something inappropriate.

In the upstairs corridor, he called out: “Miss Xiaxia, Mr.

Xiaojiu has retired for the night.

Let me notify him first.”

Baili Xia ignored him.

The door to Uncle’s room was slightly ajar, the light spilling out.

He hadn’t slept yet, he wasn’t resting.

She needed to see Uncle, she was really scared, she had to see Uncle!

And so, without even knocking, she arrived at Mu Xiaojiu’s partially open door, and instinctively stretched her hand out to push the door open.

However, she hadn’t anticipated what she would see inside.

The scene left her completely dumbstruck.

Uncle quickly pulled his open robe closed.

Although his movements were not frantic, it was clear that he had been interrupted and hence his hurrying to get dressed.

His robe had already been half-off before her arrival.

Uncle was taking off his clothes, and quickly putting them back on…

Baili Xia was stunned.

What shocked her even more was that beside Uncle’s bed, stood a beautiful long-haired woman.

A very beautiful, ravishing woman…
