Chapter 157: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 30_1

Baili Xia finally realized, how terrifying it can be to take the initiative.

Several times, she nearly fainted from the exhaustion of it.

Not only that, the scarier part was that Uncle was always watching her, wide-eyed.

How she wished to take a piece of cloth and cover his black, shiny, and deep eyes, so he would not see her in her current state.

But could this man be so obedient?

If you let him cover his eyes with a cloth, do you think he would agree?

She was really going mad from her impulsive action, she was even audacious enough to tell him she wanted to take the initiative just because she was afraid of hurting him.

Now, do you see the consequences of being proactive?

Fortunately, Uncle didn’t make her take the initiative for too long, he suddenly bent down and pressed her under him when she was about to collapse from exhaustion.

What happened after that, Baili Xia could hardly remember.

She only knew that the man who should’ve been lying there weakly, recovering from his injuries, suddenly turned into a wild wolf.

His terrifying strength and insane speed thoroughly conquered her, until she lost consciousness.

She didn’t know how much time had passed, but when she finally came to her senses, she found herself sleeping in Uncle’s arms.

The sweat on his body hadn’t dried yet, and his hair, moist from sweat, fell messily on his forehead.

Despite his disheveled appearance, he didn’t lose any of his allure; on the contrary, it added a touch of wild charm to him.

With just one glance, the one who just woke up almost lost her senses again.

Seeing his handsome face, flushed with exhaustion from the madness just now, her heart started pounding again.

“Uncle,” the word just slipped out of Baili Xia’s mouth, making her frown immediately.

Her voice was quite hoarse, so much so that it was stuck in her throat, hardly able to speak.

Mu Xiaojiu stretched out his large palm, his long fingers brushed over her face, tucking the loose strands of her hair behind her ear.

His fingers tightened, lifting her small face up.

He looked down at her still-flushed cheeks, his gaze even deeper.

“What the hell happened tonight?

Why did you rush over to find me in such a hurry?”

This little girl, ordinarily, asking her to come to him is even harder than reaching the heavens.

Not to mention taking the initiative to approach him, even when he approached her, subconsciously, she wanted to escape.

Something wasn’t right about her behavior tonight.

A moment ago, he couldn’t wait to possess her, and now that he had temporarily satisfied his desires, this topic was raised again.

Baili Xia blinked, her lips moved slightly.

She tried to speak, but her gaze inadvertently fell on the scar on his chest, making her swallow back anything she was about to say.

She blinked again, still looking at him, her face innocent.

Shaking her head gently, she whispered, “No reason, it’s just…

I had a nightmare.”

“A nightmare?” Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows, clearly unsatisfied with her response.

He wondered, did people come to find him when they had a nightmare?

“Really.” Baili Xia lowered her gaze and pushed away his large palm.

She buried her face into the uninjured side of his chest, not letting him see the guilt hidden in her eyes.

Lying to Uncle really was difficult.

Because she was feeling guilty, her heart was racing again.

But Uncle is injured, it’s best to let him recover comfortably now.

She didn’t want him to exhaust himself for her.

Nangong Xu said that he needed to rest, and he has already exerted himself tonight, she absolutely did not want to tire him out any further.

“Really, I just had a nightmare.

But in this house, apart from Grandfather, I don’t know who else I can go to, only…”

She looked up at him with her large, watery eyes, saying more than mere words could ever express, “Only Uncle.”
