Chapter 1791

Baili Xia was completely stunned by the sudden chill emanating from Mu Xiaojiu.

Those big, round eyes looked at him, blinking innocently.

This was the first time she had seen Uncle angry since she woke up.

She never knew that Uncle being angry could be so frightening.

But she…

didn’t know what she had done wrong.

Looking at Baili Xia’s innocent, delicate face, half of the anger in Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes subsided.

Then, thinking about her current situation, the remaining anger completely dissipated.

She had forgotten everything.

In this situation, saying such things actually didn’t matter much.

Moreover, it was nothing but concern for him.

Mu Xiaojiu’s chill softened, and he slowly released her hand.

“Sorry, I just…

don’t like having maids serve me.”

“Are you worried that they’ll swoon over you while serving you?” Baili Xia continued to look at him with innocent, big eyes.

This was the only reason she could think of, just like today in the mall when girls looked at him with infatuated expressions.

Being too handsome sometimes isn’t a good thing, it’s troublesome.

Uncle is the most handsome man she has ever seen.

If compared seriously, even Brother falls a little short.

Of course, it’s only a little bit.

Brother is also very, very handsome.

But, compared to Uncle, everyone falls just a little short.

Only Uncle’s face, his figure, and his temperament make him the most noble, perfect existence in the world.

Too perfect, really, it’s not good, just like right now.

Baili Xia sighed softly, helplessly saying, “Uncle, you always need someone to take care of you.”

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, just quietly watching her.

He didn’t care at all whether the maids were infatuated or not, he just simply didn’t like being touched by women.

However, if the person changed to her…

He turned away, not continuing that thought, and quietly resumed looking at the document.

“Uncle, don’t move around, let me finish cleaning your wound first,” the girl behind him said softly.

“Mm.” He nodded, comfortably looking at the document without moving.

“Uncle, isn’t it a holiday now? Why are you and Brother still so busy all day long?”

Even though he accompanied her shopping in the afternoon, she understood now.

The cost of having Uncle shop with her was him having to stay up late working at night.

For someone who just got shot, isn’t this burden too much?

“Had I known, I wouldn’t have asked you to go shopping,” she muttered.

“I want to,” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t look back, not even raising an eyelid.

Baili Xia seriously looked at his profile.

That perfect cheek made her dazed again without realizing it.

She didn’t know how long had passed before she suddenly snapped back to reality.

Her face blushed, and she quickly resumed her task, not daring to let her thoughts wander anymore.

Beautiful men really are dangerous, a little carelessness can make you fall…

After fussing for several more minutes, she finally finished cleaning the wound.

Looking at Mu Xiaojiu, Baili Xia suddenly remembered another thing.

“Uncle, why don’t you dry your hair? It’s easy to get sick like this.”

The fingers holding the document twitched slightly, he lifted his eyes to look at Baili Xia, something flowed through his eyes.

After a moment, he said lightly, “I’m used to it.”

“This habit is not good at all. You must change it; otherwise, in a few years, you’ll start having headaches.”

The little girl nagged about principles of healthy living while walking into the bathroom, coming out with a hairdryer.
