Chapter 2330

Take him… pack him up and take him away…

Baili Xia’s eyes quickly turned moist.

These words are so heartbreaking!

“But, Uncle, we’ve already agreed,” she turned her face away, not wanting to look into his dark eyes.

“It’s just you who agreed, I never said anything.”

Mu Xiaojiu, however, turned her face back, staring at her seriously.

“I don’t object to you moving out; you can move anywhere you want, but take me with you.”

“I’m easy to feed, three meals a day, even a few buns will do. If you take me with you, I won’t be a burden. I can work and earn money to help with household expenses.”

“Uncle!” Baili Xia exclaimed softly, tears finally slipping down involuntarily.

“That’s not the life you should lead. You are Mr. Xiaojiu, the legend in the hearts of everyone in Jin City!”

“Rather than being someone else’s legend, I’d rather just be a piece of luggage by your side.”

He’s not someone who speaks easily; what he says is all that he truly thinks.

Maybe, this is the one time in a lifetime he can muster up the courage to say these words he usually looks down upon.

Or perhaps, for him, these are not romantic words, just heartfelt words.

“What meaning do others’ admiration have for me? I only want you. By now, can’t you see that?”

“But I can’t have you…”

“You’ve never tried, how do you know you can’t have me?” He firmly held her shoulders in his palms.

“You are not me; how do you know what kind of life I’ve wanted? Just because I’m born into the Mu family, because I’m Mr. Xiaojiu, I must live a grand life forever?”

“Why don’t you ask me what I want?”

His gaze was sincere, and those deep eyes were filled with expectations for her.

What he wants is actually simple, the Mu Group, the Wolf Territory, he can give them all up.

He only wants her, is that okay?

“I’ll hand over Wolf Territory to…”

“No! I don’t want to hear it!” Baili Xia covered her ears and turned her face away again.

She said loudly, “Uncle, don’t tell me your decision, and don’t tell me what you’ve done. I don’t need it, and I don’t want it!”

“Why?” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice softened, so soft that it was heartbreaking.

Baili Xia bit her lip, unwilling to give him another glance.

“We agreed, don’t push me, Uncle, you said you wouldn’t push me again.”

“So to you, my desire to follow you is also pushing you?” He was ready to let go of everything, as long as he could have her.

Had he still not done enough?

“Girl, what do you really want?”

Baili Xia gently pulled his large hand off her shoulder.

This time, facing his gaze, she no longer evaded.

“I want a simple life…”

“I can give it to you!” Mu Xiaojiu interrupted her.

Baili Xia merely smiled and shook her head, “You can’t give it, because you are Mr. Xiaojiu, because you’re destined to be extraordinary.”

Before Mu Xiaojiu could speak, she calmly said, “I’m very tired, and you are too. Since we’re both tired, Uncle, why not let go and make life easier for each other?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s hands at his sides continued to clench tightly, yet the excitement in his eyes gradually calmed.

“Does it have to be this way? Even if I present my true heart to you, you’re still not interested?”

Baili Xia’s heart trembled, but she didn’t let him see her turmoil.

It’s not that she’s not interested; it’s just that she’s truly afraid to accept it.

At this moment, the dimness in her eyes, Mu Xiaojiu perhaps truly understood.

“You’re not giving up on me; instead, you’re giving up on everything, including yourself.”
