Chapter 2014

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu not speaking, Mu Xiaoyao continued, “Perhaps, this time you really scared her.”

Mu Xiaojiu nodded, still not speaking.

He knew what Mu Xiaoyao meant; two days ago, he was really too impulsive, and didn’t hold back at all.

Such actions would indeed frighten the girl, just like it did in the beginning.

But even if he scared her, he couldn’t let her escape from his grasp.

“How about I stay with her for a few days, wait until she feels better, and then…”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t continue, he had already made his point clear.

He didn’t oppose Uncle wanting Baili Xia, nor did he have the right to oppose.

But, even if they were a couple in the past, now, when Baili Xia is unwilling to accept, shouldn’t we respect her wishes a bit?

Forcing her physically will only push her further away.

Feelings cannot be attained by force.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze returned to the computer screen, but his fingers hovered without pressing down.

This matter was like pushing his own woman into another man’s care; no one could accept that.

However, if he insisted on pulling her back to his side, could the girl’s body really withstand it?

After a long time, his fingers finally fell on the keyboard, typing rapidly.

Mu Xiaoyao knew Uncle had come to a decision.

Although he didn’t say it out loud, he agreed as well.

He didn’t say anything more, got up, and walked out.

…

A week later, Baili Xia was finally able to go to school.

In fact, she had requested to go to school earlier, but Mu Xiaoyao had consistently refused.

He insisted that she feel completely fine before allowing her to report to school.

When Baili Xia woke up early in the morning, Mu Xiaoyao was no longer in the room.

For the past week, she became increasingly accustomed to the familiar scent of him in the room.

Every night, with her Brother by her side, she could sleep especially peacefully.

Baili Xia climbed out of bed, washed up, and went downstairs to have breakfast.

When she reached the side hall downstairs, Uncle and Brother were there, clearly waiting for her.

These past few days, she hadn’t seen Uncle at all.

Suddenly seeing him, Baili Xia’s heart began to panic again.

Seeing Baili Xia come in, the servants immediately served breakfast.

Baili Xia dared not look at Mu Xiaojiu, she bowed her head, finished her breakfast quickly, and picked up her backpack.

“Brother, will you take me to school?”

This semester, Mu Xiaoyao was hardly staying at school anymore.

Most of his time would be spent doing other things with Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t answer, his gaze fell on Mu Xiaojiu.

Threads of doubt appeared in Baili Xia’s eyes, “What’s wrong?”

“Today, Uncle will take you,” Mu Xiaoyao said lightly.

Baili Xia’s body visibly stiffened, her face showing more panic, “Aren’t you available?”

Mu Xiaojiu watched, a complex feeling in his heart that he couldn’t express.

It had been a week, yet this girl remained this way, no sign of her resistance towards him diminishing.

If this continues, he would be driven mad.

“Xiaoyao has a task,” Mu Xiaojiu said coldly.

“What task?”

“…” No one could answer her.

Baili Xia knew, if there really was a task, they probably couldn’t tell her, but she really didn’t want to go with Uncle.

“I’m still not feeling well, maybe I’ll go to school tomorrow.”

As soon as those words left her mouth, Mu Xiaojiu felt the anger he had been suppressing desperately could no longer be contained.

With a sudden slap, his large hand landed on the table, and he stood up.

Although the slap was light, Baili Xia was still startled and shivered.

Uncle was angry; this time, he was genuinely angry with her!
