Chapter 2048

When Ning Anran brought up the matter again, a trace of peculiarity appeared in Mu Xuri’s eyes.

His gaze fell on Ning Anran’s face, making her feel a bit unnatural.

Mu Xuri then realized that her face also bore a slight flush, with a rosy glow akin to Wen Yu’s earlier expression.

His heart tightened, could it be that she and Shentu Sheng had done that kind of thing before?

This little demeanor, simply indescribably adorable.

Wen Yu, after all, is older; no matter how sexy, it can’t compare to such pure charm…

His gaze scrutinized Ning Anran up and down, the more he looked, the more he found Ning Anran to possess a distinctive allure.

Unexpectedly, this girl’s figure is not bad either; lacking Wen Yu’s maturity, yet exuding a youthful vitality.

“She’s fine, just some disagreements on certain matters.”

He casually gave a vague response, then added another remark.

“Come over here and massage my shoulders.”

Ning Anran’s fingers trembled; Mu Xuri had never requested this of her before.

What’s going on today?

“Third Uncle…” She didn’t react initially.

Mu Xuri slightly furrowed his brows and said displeased, “What’s the matter? Unwilling?”

Only then did Ning Anran regain her senses and quickly moved over.

“How could I be unwilling?”

After speaking, she walked to Mu Xuri’s back.

Helping him adjust the wheelchair flat, her hands rested on Mu Xuri’s shoulders, gently kneading them.

Third Uncle offering her this chance, does it represent greater trust in her?

How could she be unwilling, how could she push away such an opportunity to get closer to Third Uncle?

“Third Uncle, I just ran into Shentu Sheng, and we chatted for a while.”

After kneading for a while, seeing Mu Xuri slightly closing his eyes, seemingly enjoying it immensely, she then spoke.

“I mentioned to you before, that day on the back hill he heard sounds, but didn’t find anyone at the time.”

“Later, when Xiaoxiao had the accident, I suspected he caused it.”

“But today, I asked him, he said he didn’t push Xiaoxiao off the cliff.”

She originally thought Mu Xuri would be a little shocked, who would have known he merely nodded lightly, indifferent.

Understood, after all, the cooperative relationship between Third Uncle and Shentu Sheng is so close, if it truly were him, they likely would have already discussed it.

“How did you happen to run into Shentu Sheng?” Suddenly, Mu Xuri asked.

Ning Anran’s hands paused, having only thought about reporting to Mu Xuri for credit, yet neglected how to explain the encounter with Shentu Sheng.

Mu Xuri’s eyes opened, looking calmly at Ning Anran above him from his position in the wheelchair.

It seems, he guessed correctly.

“Is there something you can’t say?”

“No, no.” Ning Anran’s eyes flashed a hint of panic, as she resumed massaging Mu Xuri.

“I have nothing with him, just happened to run into him, and he gave me a ride back.”

Mu Xuri’s eyes closed again, continuing to enjoy.

“Men and women sharing affection is normal, it’s just…”

“Don’t forget you are Jiu’s person, keep a distance from Shentu Sheng in the future, lest you ruin the big picture, or trouble yourself.”

Ning Anran hastily nodded vigorously: “Yes, yes, I’ll be mindful in the future.”

Unexpectedly, Third Uncle directly hit the nail on the head, as if knowing what happened between her and Shentu Sheng tonight.

Fortunately, she really didn’t let things escalate with him.

Mu Xuri lightly hummed, not continuing the conversation.

After a while, Ning Anran flatteringly suggested: “Let me massage your hands and legs too.”

Once Mu Xuri nodded, she moved to squat beside him at his side.
