Chapter 1454

That night, Baili Xia slept very peacefully.

In her dreams, all she saw was Uncle’s every smile, every move.

Her ears were filled with his words.

If I could choose, I definitely wouldn’t, definitely wouldn’t…

“Uncle…”

A soft mumble slipped from her lips, causing the man who at some point had fallen asleep beside her to tremble.

He almost couldn’t contain himself, as if he was about to press down on her.

But in the end, he held back.

This way, it’s okay to be taken for Wu Ming, quietly staying by her side.

No worries at all, no need to consider anything else, letting go of everything, watching her fall asleep.

Even though it’s a role that can’t be seen in public, at least, he doesn’t have to carry the burden like Mu Xiaojiu.

Now Xiaoyao has returned to Jin City, appearing in everyone’s sight in his place.

He believes in that boy Xiaoyao, he can definitely do everything flawlessly.

He also knows that his decision is really reckless, really disregarding consequences.

It’s just, he can’t help but think of her, want to see her.

In all his years, he’s never been so willful as to make a choice just for himself.

He reached out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace, resting his chin on top of her head, closing his eyes.

Smelling that familiar scent on her, his heart finally calmed down.

No matter how tired he is outside, as long as he returns to her side, as long as he holds her as they sleep.

The storms outside, for him, would completely drift away.

As long as, she’s still in his arms…

…

That night, it seemed both of them slept particularly well.

By the next morning, Baili Xia still hadn’t awoken from her beautiful dream.

What was rare is, even the man beside her, who is usually very alert, was also lying in bed with her.

Half-awake, she turned over, feeling that familiar presence beside her, Baili Xia murmured and leaned into his embrace again.

The man instinctively reached out, without needing to open his eyes to see who had leaned over.

As long as he smelled her scent, he could be sure she was the one he could completely trust.

His outstretched arm subconsciously tightened, pulling her forcefully into his embrace.

He lowered his head, without even bothering to open his eyes, already seeking her lips with his own.

But Baili Xia struggled slightly, feeling short of breath from his tight hug.

She subconsciously tried to wriggle free, slowly opening her eyes.

As soon as she did, she saw a rigid face magnified infinitely in her sight.

He…

Uncle…

No!

Wu Ming!

“Ah!” Her lips were almost touched, and Baili Xia screamed in fright, giving him a strong shove.

It wasn’t enough, when she regained her senses, her foot had already kicked out.

“Pervert!”

He actually dared to climb into her bed while she was asleep and tried to kiss her!

This bastard!

How is he the same kind of bad as Uncle!

Wu Ming felt the danger pressing too close without even opening his eyes.

With a swift grab, Baili Xia’s ankle landed in his palm.

He gave a light tug, and she was pulled towards him, her legs…

spread apart, straddling over him.

By inertia, her body couldn’t help but fall forward.

“Don’t… mm…”

Perhaps because his pull was too strong, or perhaps she herself was brought down too fiercely by gravity, she landed straight on top of him.

Her head came crashing down, aiming directly at his face, a face-to-face kind of collision!

Even more terrifying, her lips…

directly aligned, heading straight for his lips!
