Chapter 1831

“Sa… saliva?” Baili Xia blinked, instinctively touching the corner of her lips.

Dry…

Suddenly, she snapped back to reality, looking at Mu Xiaojiu, her small face instantly turning crimson red.

“Uncle, how can you be so naughty! You’re teasing me!”

She hated it; he actually laughed at her like that!

Just because she was dazed by him!

So annoying to be this handsome, he must have done this on purpose to seduce girls!

Irritating!

“Uncle, let’s go downstairs and get to work together.” Ignoring his teasing, Baili Xia brought up the topic again.

Mu Xiaojiu remained uninterested: “You guys go ahead and play; I have some things to tend to…”

“This isn’t playing, it’s how you create the atmosphere for the new year.”

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu still unmoved, Baili Xia walked over to him.

Standing before him, she snatched the bottle he was about to raise to his lips.

“Come on, Uncle, let’s go have some fun together.”

Placing the bottle on the bedside table, she raised a hand to catch Mu Xiaojiu’s large hand, intending to pull him off the bed.

But Mu Xiaojiu’s six-foot-three frame couldn’t possibly be moved by her thin, delicate figure.

Mu Xiaojiu opened his slightly hazy eyes, looking at the girl so close in front of him, something stirred in his heart.

She…

was so close, within reach…

Reflexively, with a slight pull, Baili Xia was inadvertently dragged and fell onto the bed.

“Uncle…” Baili Xia was completely caught off guard, lips slightly parted, wanting to say something.

Before she could finish her sentence, she was startled by Mu Xiaojiu’s next move.

He suddenly pressed down, his heavy body on top of Baili Xia.

“Uncle!” Baili Xia’s body immediately tensed, unsure of Mu Xiaojiu’s intentions.

Yet the action carried an indescribable ambiguity, making everything very awkward.

Mu Xiaojiu leaned over her, hands on the bed, gazing down at the person beneath him.

His eyes kindled with flames, eager to devour the woman below.

Such a gaze filled Baili Xia with a hint of fear, she pushed her hand against Mu Xiaojiu’s chest.

“Uncle, what’s wrong?

Uncle.”

“I’m Xiaxia, Uncle.”

She was somewhat suspicious, perhaps Uncle mistook her for a girl from his past?

Otherwise, how could he behave like this towards Mu Xiaoyao’s girlfriend?

Could it be…

he drank tonight?

Is Uncle’s alcohol tolerance this poor?

Earlier, he seemed perfectly fine.

Her push wasn’t strong, but it did manage to bring Mu Xiaojiu’s senses back temporarily.

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head vigorously, finally regaining some clarity.

Seeing the terrified face of the girl below, his heart clenched, wanting to let go of her, yet unwilling.

Just moments ago, he almost mistook her for the girl from the past.

But now, he was truly reluctant to let go…

“Uncle…” Baili Xia was unsure if Uncle was sober or still tipsy at this moment.

He seemed slightly sober, yet somewhat intoxicated too, especially earlier, when his eyes clearly held a deep sadness, and…

affection.

That certainly wasn’t for her, could it be he drank too much and mistook her for someone else?

“Sorry, drank too much.”

Mu Xiaojiu finally climbed off Baili Xia, sitting aside, lowering his head silently.

Baili Xia immediately sat up, still a bit frightened.

She moved to the side, far away from Mu Xiaojiu, before looking at him and asked, “Uncle, what exactly is wrong?”
