Chapter 1771

Very soon, the car stopped in the parking garage of the shopping mall.

As soon as they arrived at the commercial district, Baili Xia’s heart began to worry slightly.

It’s almost New Year, and the commercial district is teeming with people, all coming to prepare for the festivities.

She was a little concerned; with so many people, what if someone accidentally bumped into Uncle’s injury?

Ye Hua came to the back and opened the car door.

Only then did Baili Xia look at Mu Xiaojiu, with a hint of unease in her eyes.

“Uncle, maybe…

we shouldn’t go.”

“What’s the matter?” Mu Xiaojiu asked slightly surprised.

This girl was incredibly excited about the New Year’s preparations at home.

Why is it that she wants to change her mind now that they’re at the shopping mall?

“I’m worried about your injury…” She paused, then continued: “There are so many people in the mall.”

Something flashed in Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes, warming his heart.

She was concerned about him.

But since the girl was interested, how could he dampen her spirits?

“It’s okay, I’ll be careful not to let anyone bump into me.”

With that, he stepped out of the car.

Seeing his insistence, Baili Xia couldn’t say much and reluctantly followed him out of the car.

They took the elevator from the underground garage to the upper floor.

Once out of the elevator, Baili Xia quickly realized they were surrounded.

There were already a lot of people in the mall, and the sudden appearance of this man, more handsome than those movie stars, immediately made the place lively.

His handsome and determined look, paired with a white casual outfit, exuded an air of elegance and freedom.

The girls stopped in their tracks upon Mu Xiaojiu’s appearance.

They seemed to forget what they came to the mall for, focusing solely on following Mu Xiaojiu around.

Some even took out their phones to take pictures, and those walking near the escalator almost fell.

“Isn’t that Mr.

Xiaojiu?”

“Yes, it’s Mr.

Xiaojiu.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, I love you.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…”

Someone recognized Mu Xiaojiu and immediately started screaming.

After all, a face that could topple a country wasn’t seen often.

His rare public appearances had once put his photos on the front pages of newspapers.

Being recognized here was not surprising.

Confronted with these frenzied women, Mu Xiaojiu ignored them and continued walking.

Baili Xia, unfamiliar with such a scene, was left standing stunned.

Especially with the jealousy-filled glances from those girls, she felt like numerous sharp swords were aiming at her.

After taking a few steps, Mu Xiaojiu noticed Baili Xia hadn’t followed, so he stopped and turned back.

Seeing her still standing there, he quickly walked back.

Instinctively, he reached out his right hand to grab hers and walked quickly ahead.

Baili Xia kept her head down, not daring to look up, just following along.

But Baili Xia also noticed that no matter where they went, no one seemed to bump into them.

Around Uncle, there were always some people protecting, keeping the swarming girls at bay.

Those girls were blocked outside, unable to get close.

It turned out Uncle had arranged everything beforehand.

He always had someone protecting him, no wonder he felt so assured coming to the mall.

Thinking it over, she felt at ease.

A man like him would have seen this kind of scene many times; how could he lack precaution?

Relaxed, Baili Xia glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, her clear, big eyes showing a bit of discontent.

“Uncle, why do you have to be so handsome for no reason? Going out is such a hassle.”

Mu Xiaojiu paused slightly and looked down at her.

He had heard this before, the first time they went out together, she said the same thing.

Unexpectedly, the first time she’s come to the mall since waking up, she said the same thing as before!
