Chapter 1793

Mu Xiaojiu turned his head, his gaze tightly fixed on Baili Xia’s face, trying to see through why she would ask such a question.

Just a few days ago, he had proposed to her, but unfortunately, she had forgotten now.

But a proposal in such circumstances was destined to fail.

This girl’s resentment towards him had already made it impossible for their hearts to come together.

If given the choice, he would rather choose the present.

At least there was no estrangement between them, and they could sit together and chat freely.

In an instant, the coldness beneath those eyes dissipated once again.

“What, are you thinking of finding me a wife?” Mu Xiaojiu tried hard to suppress his emotions, making his voice as calm as possible.

Baili Xia was in a daze for a long time before she snapped out of his chill.

“Uncle…” She didn’t know how to start, because just now, Uncle’s reaction…

was really cold.

Moreover, it gave her an inexplicable illusion, as if asking this question would…

hurt his feelings.

But what’s there to be sad about such a question?

Why did Uncle become so cold all of a sudden?

Knowing that his earlier demeanor had scared the young girl,

Mu Xiaojiu pressed his lips together, softening his words a bit: “No one has ever said this to me, I don’t know how to respond, I was taken aback for a moment, did I scare you?”

Baili Xia shook her head, momentarily dazed, becoming so cold was also a habit?

Although she was indeed startled, Baili Xia quickly put on a smiling face.

Somehow, she felt that Uncle had been lonely for too long and had gotten used to being indifferent, unable to change.

Sometimes, losing control of emotions can be forgiven.

She organized her thoughts before considering the earlier question.

For a while, Baili Xia still said helplessly, “The girls I know, unfortunately, I always feel their aura doesn’t match with yours.”

Being too excellent is also a burden.

Finding a partner isn’t as traditional as it used to be, when equal status was a must.

But still, there needs to be no sense of disharmony when standing together.

A person with a strong aura like Uncle probably needs someone with an equally strong aura to be suitable, right?

However, could it also be that a weaker aura would work?

One strong and one weak could also be good.

Just can’t imagine which girl would be suitable.

Feels like something is missing…

“Just after taking care of me a little, are you already annoyed?” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t mind her question; instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked lightly.

Baili Xia hurriedly shook her head and explained, “No, I just think that as people age, they should settle down.”

“With a wife, she would take care of you, and you’d worry less.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze never left Baili Xia’s face, a slight tug of pain in his heart.

This girl genuinely wanted to find him a wife; she already considered him as her elder.

“If I never find a wife, would you still take care of me?” he suddenly asked.

Baili Xia nodded emphatically, her eyes sincere and without a trace of impurity.

“I would, you are my Uncle, I will always treat you well, just like Brother.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers trembled slightly, his eyes instantly dimming.

She really just considered him an elder.

To treat him like Mu Xiaoyao — was this the kind of feeling he wanted?

But if not this way, what else could he do?

At least this was better than two people constantly being at odds because of hatred.

But how should the future be walked…
