Chapter 208: Behave Don't Move 21_1

“Mu Ziying!” Baili Xia’s face turned completely red, out of anger.

This damn Mu Ziying, she just can’t stop talking!

Doesn’t she realize Uncle is here?

Shouldn’t there be a limit to her jokes?

No matter what, Uncle is an elder, isn’t it disrespectful to speak this way?

Moreover, no matter if these words are true or false, Uncle would definitely be unhappy if he hears them.

Just look, Uncle’s expression right now, it could be described as black as the bottom of a pot.

Unfortunately, Mu Ziying had no idea about Baili Xia’s thoughts.

Because Uncle’s back was towards the light, she couldn’t see his face clearly.

Being a chatterbox, once she started talking, she just couldn’t stop.

“Uncle, you don’t know, Brother was always cold before, just like you, dislikes it when girls get too close to him, we…”

She paused, bit her lower lip, and then continued.

“We were really worried that he might be…

you understand what I mean, right?

Hehe!”

“Mu Ziying…”

“Call me Sister Ziying, we are not so formal!”

Mu Ziying gave Baili Xia a glance, ignoring her, and continued looking at Mu Xiaojiu.

“Luckily, Brother has no issues, and directly proposed to Xiaxia.”

“Speaking of which, we should really thank Xiaxia.

If it weren’t for her, the ‘rumors’ about Brother would have continued.”

She looked at Baili Xia, not noticing the faint pallor underneath her sunburned cheeks.

“Hey, don’t be shy, you’re already eighteen, you’re an adult.”

“Actually, our Brother is very nice and pure-hearted.

He hasn’t had a girlfriend for many years, don’t believe me?

Ask Uncle.”

She looked at Mu Xiaojiu, “Uncle, don’t you agree?”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything, but he didn’t contradict her either.

However, the fingers on the armrest of his chair tightened slightly.

Even Mu Ziying began to notice something was off.

Why hadn’t Uncle reacted at all to what she had been saying this whole time?

She asked cautiously, “Uncle, you…are you unhappy that Xiaxia is with Brother?”

“I’m not with Brother, I told you, Brother just came to see me last night to apply some medicine.”

Baili Xia was going crazy, how could this person not read the mood at all?

Doesn’t she see how serious Uncle’s face has become?

Mu Ziying really hadn’t noticed earlier, but now, she clearly sensed it.

Staring at Mu Xiaojiu, she started to feel a bit uneasy: “Uncle…”

“Xiaoyao is excellent, Lingchuan isn’t bad either.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s tense fingers slowly relaxed, his indifferent gaze fixated on Baili Xia’s face.

“The old man asked you to choose carefully, so you should take your time, there’s no need to rush.”

“Uncle…”

“Don’t you have other things to do?” He didn’t look at her anymore, instead, he turned to Mu Ziying.

Mu Ziying immediately realized, she was being snubbed.

Actually, she’d already considered having such a long conversation with Uncle today as a huge achievement.

How many girls must be envious seeing her laughing and talking with Uncle, she was surely winning!

So, even though she knew Uncle was dismissing her, Mu Ziying still left with a smile on her face.

She guessed why Ziying had chatted so endlessly here: she wanted to show off in front of her classmates.

Being so close to Uncle, it was bound to make them green with envy.

However, what she didn’t know was that her little show-off had brought Baili Xia immense trouble.

Uncle…the way he was looking at her now was terrifying!
