Chapter 1759

Before Mu Xiaojiu could think further, Mu Xuri’s calm voice had already sounded, pulling his thoughts back.

“Well, have you finally decided to come meet me?”

“Third Brother, what are you saying? Why wouldn’t I want to come see you?”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled faintly and spoke.

To Mu Xuri, his third brother, who had nurtured him since childhood, he was unwilling to turn against him.

However, if anyone wanted to bully his girl, that was absolutely unacceptable.

He continued, “It’s just that I’ve been busy with some personal matters these past few days, so I didn’t have the time.”

“Now that I’m finished, we can talk properly.”

Saying this, he turned and gently ruffled Baili Xia’s hair.

“Accompany Zimo back to the room to rest. It’s windy outside, be careful not to catch cold.”

Seeing the doting manner in his eyes sent a shock through Zimo’s heart.

Xiaxia no longer had any memories of him.

How would Mu Xiaojiu treat Xiaxia in the future?

Zimo didn’t believe Mu Xiaojiu would really let Xiaxia follow Mu Xiaoyao from now on.

She clearly felt that Xiaxia and Mr.

Xiaojiu were…

Could it be, she had misunderstood all along?

Baili Xia’s resistance to Mu Xiaojiu was dwindling, even letting him ruffle her hair without mind.

She simply felt that this was her elder, doting on her was perfectly normal.

Furthermore, for some reason, though she was still scared of Uncle from the bottom of her heart.

But, Uncle had an indefinable charm that seemed to draw her closer and closer.

Shaking her head, she cast aside the chaotic thoughts.

She nodded at Mu Xiaojiu, obediently pulling Zimo along as they entered the hall and went back to their room.

Watching Baili Xia’s departing figure, Wen Yu felt something was amiss.

Baili Xia’s behavior just now was completely different from before.

Had she missed something?

She chuckled, saying, “You brothers have a chat, I’ll go upstairs and talk with the girls.”

With that, she attempted to pass by Mu Xiaojiu to enter the hall.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Ye Hua immediately stepped forward to block her path.

“Miss Wen Yu, Mr. Xiaojiu might still need to speak with you.”

Ye Hua didn’t know how to stop her, so he brought up Mu Xiaojiu.

But the meaning in his words, might!

He might also not need her.

As a subordinate, how could he rashly speak for his master?

Wen Yu didn’t know what to do, to go or stay?

Helplessly, she looked toward Mu Xuri.

After several times of Ye Hua forcibly stopping people, Mu Xuri couldn’t stand it any longer and coldly said, “Jiu, is this how you teach your subordinates?”

Mu Xiaojiu pulled a faint smile at the corner of his lips and calmly said, “Indeed, I do have something to speak with Mrs.

Wen, though it’s not anything important.”

Facing Wen Yu, he continued, “Did you enjoy your outing this time?

It’s been so long since we’ve seen everyone; why not sit down and chat a bit.”

“Perhaps there will be another opportunity to go next time.”

Wen Yu’s heart trembled; Mu Xiaojiu’s words held unabashed threat!

He truly was ruthless; if she dared to cause trouble for that girl again, she feared he might throw her far away.

Although it was indeed a good place this time, her mind wasn’t there at all, and she couldn’t focus on appreciating the scenery.

She dared not provoke Mu Xiaojiu any longer and reluctantly turned back to Mu Xuri’s side, pushing his wheelchair.

Seeing her retreat, Mu Xiaojiu then turned his head to Ye Hua and said, “Go prepare some good tea, let’s have a proper chat with Third Brother today.”

“Yes.” Ye Hua immediately withdrew to instruct the servants to prepare the tea leaves.
