Chapter 263: What's Wrong

Everyone in the Mu family recognized the woman in Mu Xiaojiu’s arms, with the exception of Baili Xia.

The moment Sir Mu set his eyes on them, his eyebrows lifted in a subtle glimmer of delight.

“Yun, when did you arrive?

Why didn’t you notify me!”

Nangong Yun, nestled in the arms of Mu Xiaojiu, gave him a light smile, which was very becoming.

“Uncle, I arrived this morning.

I was so engrossed in conversation with Jiu that…

I lost track of time.

That’s why we didn’t greet you until now.”

Lost in conversation in the bedroom…

Seeing their embrace now, the atmosphere suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

No wonder he stayed at the Sihai Residence all day.

He was with a woman!

As for Mu Xiaojiu’s complexion, it was far from poor.

In fact, it looked absolutely radiant.

The arrival of these two immediately dissipated the tension that had gripped them before.

After being stunned for several seconds, Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo finally remembered to greet Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun, ever graceful, exchanged pleasant smiles with each of them.

However, Baili Xia’s gaze remained fixated on Mu Xiaojiu’s face, carefully noting every nuances in his expressions.

“Little girl, what are you doing standing over there?

Shouldn’t you come to greet your Uncle?”

Mu Xiaojiu who had been conversing with Sir Mu turned his attention towards Xiaxia.

With no choice but to confront the situation, Baili Xia steeled herself and moved forward.

“I’m sorry, Uncle.

I monopolized so much of your time with my questions last night.

I hope I didn’t disturb your rest.”

Her words, of course, were intended for Mu Xiaojiu’s ears.

It would be terrible if anyone figured out that he didn’t get much sleep because she had kept him up with her ceaseless questioning last night.

Walking over to Mu Xiaojiu and Nangong Yun, she asked: “Who might this be…?”

“This is Miss Nangong Yun from the Nangong Family.

Xiaxia, you should address her as Mrs.

Yun.”

Sir Mu gestured towards her, a smile of satisfaction on his face.

“Mrs…

Yun?” Baili Xia blinked, having difficulty processing the address.

The lady looked young, possibly only in her mid-twenties.

Isn’t “Mrs.

Yun” a bit too much?

“Yun is of the same generation as your uncle.

In the future, she might be your Aunt.

If you dislike calling her Mrs.

Yun, Auntie would be just fine.”

Sir Mu laughed heartily, completely ignorant of the paling expression on Baili Xia’s face when she heard the word “Auntie”.

She never really thought about how things would turn out, but hearing the word “Auntie” hit her like a ton of bricks.

She was so taken aback that she had trouble reacting.

With the exception of Mu Xiaojiu who lingered on her countenance a little longer, none noticed her unease.

Just as he was about to say something, a young girl suddenly stormed into the room.

She was wearing a T-shirt and denim mini skirt, her hair tied up in a high ponytail.

“Old uncle, I’m here too.”

The term “Old uncle” referred to Sir Mu.

Due to generational differences, even though she’s almost the same age as Mu Ziying, she can’t address him as “Grandpa”.

Walking up to Mu Xiaojiu and Nangong Yun, she pouted and began to complain.

“Future brother-in-law, you’re so mean, leaving me alone at Sihai Residence and running off with elder sister.”

She turned towards Nangong Yun, her pout deepening, “Elder Sister, you’re being unfair, too!

What were you both doing in the room all day?

Do you not care about your sister anymore now that you have a man?”
