Chapter 206: Behave Don't Move 19_1

Baili Xia smiled and raised an eyebrow, not waiting for Ye Hua to try it, she took the cake to her mouth herself.

Suddenly, a large hand landed on hers, gripping her small hand firmly and successfully obstructing her cake-eating endeavors.

“Being silly.” said Mu Xiaojiu, giving her a brief, indifferent look.

Unexpectedly, he held her hand, guiding the cake to his lips.

He opened his mouth and gulped it down.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu.”

“Uncle…”

Mu Xiaojiu swallowed down the cake without saying anything.

Even though he genuinely didn’t like such things, he saw that Baili Xia was about to taste it for him as a precautionary act.

He had a strange feeling in his heart; all he knew was that he couldn’t let her taste it first.

Seeing her prepared to try it for his sake, his heart inexplicably ached.

Her small show of sentiment was about to be ruined by Ye Hua’s caution.

Upon seeing Mr.

Xiaojiu consume the cake with no ill-effects,

Ye Hua gave Baili Xia a nod, apologized with a “sorry”, then returned to his quiet position at a distance.

“Is he…

always like this?” Baili Xia asked, glancing at Ye Hua’s profile.

Would he not find life tiring if he has to be cautious even around food?

“Things have been a bit unstable lately in Jin City, which makes him extra cautious.” Mu Xiaojiu answered indifferently.

Baili Xia nodded, and recalling something, she turned to look at Ye Hua again.

“What’s…

up with his face?”

Mu Xiaojiu looked at her, grunting, “Didn’t you treat Xiaoyao’s wounds last night?”

“You’re saying, Ye Hua’s face…

was injured by my brother?”

Baili Xia was a bit surprised, wasn’t it a friendly bout?

Even friendlies can cause injuries!

But then, thinking of Mu Xiaoyao’s injured right hand, she could easily imagine how intense the fights last night were.

She exhaled a sigh, feeling a little helpless.

Can’t they be a bit more careful since they’re all family?

Setting all that aside, she picked up the small plate again, looking at Mu Xiaojiu.

“Uncle, does it taste good?

Do you want another piece?”

“Uncle, don’t be fooled!

This little con artist will rob you blind!”

Mu Ziying, having somehow managed to break away from the bodyguards, looked at the small plate that Baili Xia was holding, her eyes full of disdain.

“This cake costs one hundred thousand per piece.

Xiaxia is a heartless profiteer.

She swindled me earlier, and now she’s trying to swindle you, Uncle!”

One hundred thousand per piece?

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze fell on Baili Xia’s face.

“It’s a stated price, who’s scamming you?”

Baili Xia gave Mu Ziying a glare; their Uncle was about to eat the second piece, what was she fussing about?

Looking at her again, her thin lips curled upward in a smirk.

“Uncle, just now, Ziying referred to me as a con artist.

She also said that I learned it from someone.”

Mu Xiaojiu relaxed and watched the two of them bickering, saying nothing.

This girl, when she’s not frightened of him, her true spirited nature comes out.

The person she is right now, seems more pleasing to him.

“Baili Xia, I-I was just talking nonsense.

You’re really petty to keep that in mind!”

Originally indignant, Mu Ziying got scared by her words.

Her rage immediately withered.

Uncle was right here, if Baili Xia dared to lie, she’d definitely get it later.

Receiving her warning glance, Baili Xia looked back at her smugly, but didn’t actually say anything without basis.

Ziying was deathly afraid of their Uncle.

Everyone was just having fun, and wouldn’t actually embarrass her.

Looking back at Mu Xiaojiu, she bit her lip, and said quietly, “I…really have posted prices.”

She randomly picked up the price tag from the table, handed it in front of Mu Xiaojiu, her voice becoming softer.

“If it’s for you, Uncle…I can give a discount.”
