Chapter 1706

Mu Xiaojiu returned to the room to find Baili Xia still quietly lying on the bed.

He lay down beside her, his movements very gentle, but this girl still woke up startled.

Ever since so many things happened recently, her sleep had become particularly light.

Even the slightest noise could wake her up from her dreams.

Mu Xiaojiu knew that it was a sign of her lack of security.

Even though he was beside her, he still couldn’t give her a sense of security, which was his failure as a man.

He extended his large hand to cradle her small head, letting her rest on his long arm.

His other arm went around her waist, holding her tightly from behind.

“Girl, since you’re awake, let’s talk about the honeymoon plan.”

Baili Xia said nothing, her small hands tightly clenched, trying not to show any unusual reaction in his embrace.

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly grasped her hand, wrapping it in the palm of his own hand.

After all the twists and turns, from the initial exploitation to now, after the truth was revealed, he felt no thrill of revenge, only fatigue.

Even, disappointment, despair.

Why did life’s path end up like this?

If he had known they would end up like this, would he have still sought her out so decisively in the beginning?

Mr.

Xiaojiu, who never knew the taste of regret, for the first time felt a bit of regret now.

But, she was the enemy who had killed his father.

The vengeance for his father’s death was irreconcilable…

He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was no emotion left in them.

Tightly holding Baili Xia’s hand, his calm voice, along with his warm breath, fell above her head.

“Do you want to go abroad, to a bustling city, or to an island for a quiet two-person world?”

“If you like, we can also arrange our wedding on an island, how about on the beach?”

Baili Xia still said nothing, just lay quietly and obediently in his arms, her body stiff.

“Girl, don’t be upset with me, okay?”

Mu Xiaojiu buried his face in her neck, his voice hoarse.

“I feel terrible, girl, I feel terrible, let’s make up, shall we?”

The slightly raspy voice made Baili Xia tremble lightly all over.

She had never seen this side of Uncle.

Uncle had always been high and mighty, invincible.

But now, he was disappointed, vulnerable, sad, so sad that his voice was hoarse.

He was pitifully asking her to make up, wasn’t he?

This side of Mu Xiaojiu was truly difficult to refuse.

Her fingertips started to tremble, and two clear tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Uncle…

why does it have to be like this?

He destroyed all her hopes with one hand, and now, he appeared so pitiful in front of her.

If he were ruthless enough to treat her as a stranger from now on, she thought she could live well.

But now…

Could she really live her life with him when her grandfather was wronged and imprisoned, likely to grow old and die in prison?

Could she really live her future days with peace of mind?

It’s not that she wasn’t willing to reconcile with him, but rather, it’s fundamentally impossible!

Baili Xia said nothing, and Mu Xiaojiu said nothing more either.

He wasn’t accustomed to weakness; what just happened was already a rare occurrence.

This girl was still unwilling to forgive him, but just as she thought, between the two of them lay so many entangled feuds.

Reconciliation…

is it still possible?
