Chapter 1519

Baili Xia had always been obedient in front of Mu Xiaojiu.

Perhaps sometimes she was willful, but not often.

But now, holding her phone and looking at the still-expressionless Wu Ming, she firmly said she wanted to find Uncle.

Ye Hua seemed to really take the phone to look for Mu Xiaojiu.

It was the middle of winter, yet Baili Xia was so nervous that sweat seeped from her brow.

In contrast, Wu Ming, sitting in front of her, remained leisurely, still holding her.

Even as she was so nervous she almost crushed the phone, his large hand was inching over the delicate curve of her waist.

Why did he…

really not care at all?

Could it be she guessed wrong, that he wasn’t Uncle at all?

But he and Uncle…

everything about them was so alike?

If it’s really Uncle, can’t he stop pretending in front of her?

She’s going crazy missing him!

If not, why…

does he seem so similar?

“What do you need me for?” Suddenly, a deep, familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Baili Xia gasped, holding the phone and staring at Wu Ming, utterly speechless.

Uncle’s voice…

the person on the other end was indeed Uncle!

Then, Wu Ming…

“If there’s nothing else, contact me later, I’m in a meeting.”

Not getting a response from Baili Xia, Mu Xiaojiu seemed a bit impatient, his voice grew deeper.

“Find me later.”

“Uncle…” Afraid he might hang up immediately, she called out again.

Baili Xia really didn’t know what was in her mind, just didn’t want this call to end.

“What’s going on?” That voice, familiar beyond measure, came again.

“I…” She didn’t know what to say.

Calling him was based entirely on the belief that there wouldn’t be an “Uncle” answering the phone.

Yet, with Wu Ming quietly sitting before her, Uncle was on the line with her…

She found it a bit hard to breathe, her brain nearly ceased functioning.

Wu Ming…

is really not Uncle?

But…

“What’s the matter?” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice sounded even deeper.

“N-nothing.” Baili Xia lowered her eyes, a bit at a loss.

“Then… find me when you do have something; remember, listen to Wu Ming.”

The phone was hung up, the urgency in his voice clear, as if he truly was occupied with something very important.

He’s always so busy; once immersed in work, his mind was rarely on other things.

This was Uncle, who was always like this.

When he worked, he was terrifyingly serious.

Uncle was so busy, how could he possibly be like Wu Ming, staying by her side all the time, accompanying her?

She actually…

thought Wu Ming was Uncle; was she out of her mind, or what?

How could she have such a ridiculous notion?

“What did Mr. Xiaojiu say?” Wu Ming looked at her, his eyes flashing with lights she couldn’t interpret.

Baili Xia was stunned for a long while before she woodenly said, “Uncle told me…

to listen to you.”

“Then be a good girl and listen, don’t upset your Uncle.” Wu Ming’s lips curled imperceptibly.

Xiaoyao really made one feel at ease with his handling.

The small figure in front of him was infinitely magnified, the delicate fragrance almost made him lose his soul.

How long had it been since he properly wanted her?

Ever since that encounter at Hongxia Mountain, after returning, they hadn’t properly spent time together.

He missed her, every nerve was aching for her.

The soft jade and tender fragrance in his embrace, he really…

couldn’t hold back anymore!
