Chapter 178: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 51_1

The car stopped at a large supermarket.

Mu Xiaoyao did not get out of the car.

After bringing the car to a halt, he pulled out his notebook, and was busy typing away at something.

Apparently, their mission was to shop at the supermarket while he waited for them there.

This arrangement actually eased Baili Xia’s mind.

If their older brother were to walk by her side, she’d feel slightly uncomfortable.

Not only would she have to withstand the piercing glances from other girls, but she would also need to continually pay attention to whether her brother was happy or not.

Who would enjoy that?

…Baili Xia seemed lost in thought when she was selecting ingredients.

She was supposed to buy flour and the like, but she found herself inexplicably in the meat section, staring absent-mindedly at recently butchered chickens.

Uncle…he probably hasn’t recovered yet.

If she were to make some chicken soup for him, perhaps he’d recover faster.

But then again, what doesn’t the Mu family have?

Would they need her to make chicken soup?

“Xiaxia, what are you looking at?

Hurry up and choose some eggs!”

That was Ning Anran’s voice coming from the other side.

“Alright, coming.” Baili Xia responded.

She tried to leave but couldn’t help taking one last look at the black-boned chicken.

Stew made from silkie chicken and American ginseng is said to be very nourishing…

…

Quickly, an hour had passed, and Ning Anran carried a large pile of ingredients.

After one last glance at the handsome Mu Xiaoyao, she walked back to the dorms alone, looking rather dejected.

She had thought that she could have dinner with the senior, what a letdown.

After missing such a good opportunity, she wouldn’t know when the next opportunity to get closer to him would be.

Baili Xia looked at the two bags An Ran was carrying and felt guilty, considering how heavy they were.

However, her older brother wouldn’t let her waste time going back to the dorms with Ning Anran.

So she could only apologize silently in her heart.

The car quickly left the campus, driving to the Mu’s residence.

In silence, a thirty-minute ride was completed.

Mu Xiaoyao was not one to enjoy conversations, and as for Baili Xia, though she talked quite a bit…

It was quite clear that her older brother did not like her, so she didn’t want to be the one to initiate conversation.

However, what she didn’t anticipate was that upon reaching the Mu estate, Mu Xiaoyao didn’t drive the car to the main house’s garage.

Instead, he went directly into the Sihai Residence.

Seeing that bag of groceries at her feet, Baili Xia’s heart inexplicably started beating rapidly.

She didn’t expect to see her uncle this soon, she thought…

she could go home first, prepare the things…

“Miss Xiaxia.” Ye Hua welcomed her proactively.

Seeing Ye Hua, Baili Xia knew, that uncle was definitely there.

Ye Hua was almost always by his side, inseparable from him.

As expected, at this moment, Mu Xiaojiu was sitting on the living room sofa.

Seeing Baili Xia come in with a grocery bag, he leaned back on the sofa, his gaze softening slightly.

“What did you buy?

Come, let your uncle see.”

The soft-spoken words made everyone in the room feel terrified and completely at a loss of what to do.

If they remembered correctly, just a few seconds ago his face was so cold that no one dared to look at him for too long.

But now, did his face look bad?

Not at all!

After Baili Xia showed up, he looked as pleasant as a spring breeze!

“Uncle.” Baili Xia walked over and called out softly.

Seeing his gaze fall on the grocery bag in her hand, the young lady couldn’t help but pull the bag slightly behind her.

Inside the bag was the black-boned chicken that she had been staring at for a long time in the supermarket.

If he found out that she specifically bought a chicken from the supermarket to make soup for him, would this bad uncle tease her?
