Chapter 203: Behave Don't Move 16_1

The sound of endless discussions was clearly audible to Baili Xia, let alone to Mu Xiaojiu?

But he just remained silent, simply watching her quietly.

Baili Xia knew then that today, she must have inadvertently upset him.

“Nothing to say?” After exchanging glances for a while and hearing no response from the little creature, Mu Xiaojiu’s face darkened even further.

Seeing his expression, something immediately came to her mind.

Baili Xia didn’t even have to think about it; she immediately confessed.

“Last night, Brother and Ye Hua had a few fights, and apparently, they ran quite a distance.”

Seeing no change in his expression, Baili Xia continued.

“Brother’s hand was injured again, he came to ask me to remove the splinters…the ones embedded into his flesh.”

She raised her eyebrows, carefully watching his face.

Being with Uncle is like living with a tiger, always on guard, it puts a heavy burden on her heart.

At last, she added: “Brother came by himself, I didn’t seek him out.”

His face seemed to improve a bit after hearing that, and Baili Xia released a sigh of relief.

She quickly pulled a chair over, looked at him, and put on a smiling face.

“Uncle, please sit down!

Would you like to try the little cakes I made?”

As she saw Uncle sit down, Baili Xia was a bit curious.

Didn’t Uncle leave the Mu Mansion first thing in the morning to attend to his own affairs?

How could he know about her and Brother’s matters?

Didn’t he plant a mole at home to keep him informed of their every move?

“What’s with that look?” Mu Xiaojiu saw her standing by him, staring at him with confused and somehow resentful eyes.

Mu Xiaojiu’s face, which had just relaxed a bit, immediately turned sour again.

Resentment?

So, she was resenting him for something now?

Baili Xia realized he had seen right through her little scheme, and immediately stopped.

“No, Uncle, I was just thinking…why are you so handsome today?”

“Am I not usually so?” The man didn’t seem to be flattered at all, instead, he hummed coldly.

Baili Xia bit her lip, suppressing the urge to roll her eyes at him.

Why is it so hard to butter him up?

“You’re always handsome, super handsome, everyday handsome, even more handsome than a deity.”

Not wanting to continue the topic to avoid more mistakes, Baili Xia immediately took a small plate of cake and presented it to Mu Xiaojiu.

“Uncle, this cake was made by me, have a taste.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes fell on the cake.

It was delicate and pretty, and the look was not bad.

However, he never liked these sweet treats.

“Uncle, why did you come today?

Did you arrange to meet with the people from the board of directors to discuss some big plans?”

Baili Xia pulled over a chair, ignoring the envious and jealous looks from around, and sat down next to Mu Xiaojiu.

She picked up the little cake with a fork and put it to his lips: “Uncle, want a taste?”

She looked at him quite eagerly.

Please eat it, eat it, each piece costs a hundred thousand.

If I could get Uncle to eat a few, today would be fruitful.

Mu Xiaojiu still looked at the little cake yet didn’t open his mouth.

“Uncle, it’s really delicious, it’s even been chilled.”

Baili Xia didn’t mind bragging about her own work.

Uncle is so rich; it would be nice if he could donate a little to the poor.

“Uncle, it really is delicious.”

She blinked her watery eyes, staring directly at Mu Xiaojiu’s pink lips that even women would be envious of.

She only took one glance, but then she couldn’t help but become entranced.
