Chapter 1997

“There’s no need for you to worry about my affairs, just take care of yourself.”

Baili Xia finally understood the reason Ning Anran came to her, but indeed she already had that kind of relationship with Uncle; she wasn’t sure how Ning Anran came to know about it.

For a moment, Baili Xia didn’t know how to refute, or rather, she didn’t want to refute.

What does this have to do with Ning Anran?

Seeing Baili Xia didn’t even defend herself in such matters, Ning Anran knew she had admitted it.

Previously, Wen Yu had told her that there was news from Sihai Residence again, saying that Mr. Xiaojiu spent the night in Baili Xia’s room.

Ning Anran didn’t want to believe it, but Mu Xuri had spies in Sihai Residence, and the news relayed was at least fifty percent true.

Wen Yu was also unsure about this, which is why she wanted Ning Anran to come over and test whether Baili Xia had regained her memory.

It seems she hasn’t regained her memory, but rather has rekindled things with Uncle!

Ning Anran’s gaze darkened instantly, continuing, “Bearing the identity of Mr. Mu’s fiancée, you ought to manage yourself well. The wealthy families care about these things, be careful Mr. Mu doesn’t want you.”

“Whether Brother wants me is not your place to say, what? Don’t you only like our Uncle? How come you’re concerned about Brother too?”

Baili Xia laughed lightly, the deepening look in her eyes rendering her no longer as easily discernable as before.

Ning Anran bit her lip, appearing aggrieved, “Xiaxia, I’m simply giving you a kind reminder.”

“And I’m kindly reminding you, our Uncle has said he likes girls who are pure and kind.”

Baili Xia crossed her arms, leaning by the door, smiling lightly at her.

Ning Anran’s face flushed, wanting to deny her affection for Mr. Xiaojiu, yet afraid to.

If Baili Xia really went and told Mr. Xiaojiu she didn’t like him, who knows if Mr. Xiaojiu would get angry?

But, since when did Baili Xia become so calm when speaking?

After saying so much, she still didn’t have any reaction?

“Is there anything else?” Baili Xia eyed her sidelong, starting to grow a bit impatient, “If not, I’m leaving.”

“Xiaxia, we… are friends, I’m truly well-intentioned.”

Ning Anran blocked her path, afraid she would really just leave.

“They say Mr. Xiaojiu spent the night in your room, this kind of thing will soon reach Mr. Xuri’s ears.”

“You know, Mr. Xiaojiu respects Mr. Xuri the utmost, you wouldn’t want him to lose face in front of Mr. Xuri, would you?”

“Do you really think spending the night in your junior’s room is losing face?”

Baili Xia shrugged, indifferent, “Brother often pulls Uncle to play games with me all night; I don’t find it shameful.”

“We have a good relationship with Uncle; he’s incredibly good to us. How does such a harmonious family matter become a shameful thing in your mouth?”

“Even if it’s family, it’s not your family!” Ning Anran was unsettled by her mocking tone.

Keep saying “Our Uncle,” is Mr. Xiaojiu her family?

“You’re not a Mu Family member. Shouldn’t you refrain from saying things like ‘our Uncle’?”

The anger swelled in her chest, even she knew Mr. Xuri intended to match her and Mr. Xiaojiu together.

In the future, the position of Mr. Xiaojiu’s wife would certainly be hers.

Even she, who was so confident, was embarrassed to claim Mr. Xiaojiu as hers.

How could an outsider like Baili Xia be so bold?

And yet, she didn’t feel ashamed!

“In the future, don’t speak like that again, if someone outside hears it, how embarrassing!”
