Chapter 215: Behave Don't Move 28_1

Savage, overbearing, stubborn, he won’t listen to any of her explanations regarding the things he has decided on himself.

This is Baili Xia’s understanding of Mu Xiaoyao.

Now, his large hand is again locked around her throat, and if this continues, the result will surely be like last time.

Last time, it was interrupted because the time wasn’t up, but how about this time?

Has the third day already arrived?

She wanted to explain, wanted to tell him her difficulties.

But she didn’t know how to start, and more importantly, she didn’t have any chance to speak at all.

In her fluster, her hand landed on the small tea table beside the sofa.

She didn’t know what she had touched, held it tightly in her hand, and was about to swing it at his arm.

However, when she noticed it was a fruit knife, she suddenly halted the swing she was about to make at him.

That was a knife, even a slight touch would wound and draw blood…

Just one moment of hesitation, and her breathing became heavier.

She gasped and was unable to recover, her hand loosened, and the knife fell.

Her hands landed on Mu Xiaoyao’s wrist, fighting desperately, trying hard to push him away.

Looking at her, Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes seemed to darken a few shades.

Since she had already picked up the knife, why didn’t she take the opportunity to hurt him, at least that way she could run away?

She didn’t even dare to hurt him…

At last, before he lost control, he drew his hand back.

Baili Xia immediately slumped onto the sofa, gasping heavily.

Looking at him, her eyes were filled with anger and fear.

Being with such a brute, her life was always at risk.

Fortunately, this time he didn’t really want to kill her.

Mu Xiaoyao stood by the sofa, looking down at her.

His sight was devoid of warmth, his entire demeanor icy cold.

Baili Xia finally regained her breath, got up from the sofa and immediately picked up the fruit knife.

With the knife in her hand, the blade facing him, she posed defensively.

“Don’t come over, if you do, I won’t be polite.”

“You had the chance to harm me just now, why did you rather throw the knife away?”

He kept staring at her, not retreating an inch because of the fruit knife in her hand.

A tiny knife, what threat could it be to him?

He didn’t care at all.

But for Baili Xia, it was the only amulet she had now.

“Don’t come over.” Seeing he might close in on her again, she held the knife towards him again, her voice cold.

“I said, my entering the Mu family wasn’t like what you thought, no matter what you think, this is my only answer.”

However, Mu Xiaoyao didn’t want to dispute this matter with her again.

Uncle asked him to protect her, but he could have hurt her again in his fit of anger.

But, Uncle had only interacted with her today, she was the easiest one to point the finger at.

Did Uncle’s poisoning have anything to do with her?

He had already heard that the food she sold at the charity sale was her homemade cake.

Her homemade cake poisoned Uncle…

Suddenly, a ringtone went off from his phone.

He casually picked up the phone and answered the call.

“Boss.” A deep male voice came from the other end.

“The surveillance records have been fetched.

There were too many people participating in the charity sale today, and it is not possible to check all of them in a short while.”

“Did you find any records from the event?” Mu Xiaoyao asked coldly.

From the other end, there came an immediate and respectful response.

“Yes, but due to time constraints, we haven’t been able to find much useful information yet.”
