Chapter 1795

Holding hands with Uncle, Baili Xia initially felt it was inappropriate.

But, after accidentally seeing those dark eyes of his, she completely forgot everything about her surroundings.

There seemed to be an emotion in his eyes that evoked tenderness.

Baili Xia felt it keenly, her heart involuntarily tightened, as if something sharply pierced her heart.

Uncle…

does he feel very lonely?

It’s cold at the top; for someone as excellent as Uncle, perhaps he truly feels lonely.

He has always been solitary, even with Ye Hua at his side, but that’s just his subordinate.

Being grown men, the two of them don’t have much to talk about.

Besides official duties, there might not be any other chance to chat throughout the day.

Baili Xia suddenly realized that Mu Xiaojiu stirred a trace of pity.

After looking at him for a moment, she nodded and agreed to stay.

Dragging a chair over from the desk, Baili Xia sat by the bed and started chatting with Mu Xiaojiu.

She just felt that having her hand held by Uncle seemed oddly strange.

A sense of inexplicable satisfaction rose in Mu Xiaojiu’s heart, his lips gently curved, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

This scene did not escape Baili Xia’s eyes, she said happily, “Uncle, you smiled again.”

“Yes, smiling is nice, why keep a stern face all day?”

Moreover, when Uncle smiles, the whole world seems to lose its color, leaving only his smiling face.

Such perfection, it’s beyond what words can describe.

So handsome, why not smile more?

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at her indifferently, the smile on his lips slowly faded, leaving a cold expression.

Laughter is just for those without depth, who would foolishly laugh all day.

He’s not an idiot, so what’s there to smile about?

The change in his expression made Baili Xia want to laugh.

But knowing how proud Uncle is, she decided to hold back and not expose him.

Always seeming so aloof, perhaps it’s just a facade.

Like a chameleon.

Baili Xia felt a slight pang of sorrow, knowing only those who lack a sense of security often disguise themselves.

Is his reluctance to show too many emotions to others because he feels insecure?

How exhausting must life be for this man?

Mu Xiaojiu lay on the bed watching her, and for a moment, neither knew what to say.

Silence, the atmosphere…

indescribably strange.

Baili Xia tried to gently pull away, but Mu Xiaojiu only held her tighter.

Yet, it wasn’t with any indecent intent; he even turned to look at the ceiling instead of her.

Still, that large hand held her firmly.

So strange…

“Uncle, what do you plan to do in the future?” Baili Xia suddenly asked, breaking the silence of the room.

Mu Xiaojiu was slightly taken aback, “In the future?”

“If you aren’t so busy in the future, what would you like to do?”

Baili Xia’s eyes were fixed on him, waiting for his answer.

Though it was just to make conversation, she was genuinely interested in knowing.

Mu Xiaojiu fell into deep thought; he had never planned what to do in the future.

In his past view, the future was too distant, and the only thing he focused on was revenge.

But after meeting her, life had gained many emotional dimensions.

He had once thought about marrying her and living together in the future.

But now…

He hadn’t really considered what to do in the future.

The only thing he was certain of is that he wants her!

He won’t let go!
