Chapter 264: Just Like Her Body

One potential future aunt, and a girl who calls Uncle her future brother-in-law…

Although Baili Xia was a bit perplexed, she quickly calmed herself down.

Uncle’s face looked unwell.

Perhaps others might not notice, but she could tell.

“Xiaxia, come over.”

Upon hearing those three simple words, without even thinking, Baili Xia immediately walked over.

The long arm of Mu Xiaojiu, which was initially resting on Nangong Yun’s shoulder, naturally shifted to Baili Xia.

As expected, Uncle’s health hasn’t been well.

When he reached out his arm, almost half of his body weight fell onto Baili Xia.

Baili Xia was prepared for this.

Although her legs were still sore, at least she did not show any weakness.

“Did you learn all that I taught you last night?”

Mu Xiaojiu looked down at her, “Uncle is hungry, come with me to have dinner.”

“Okay.” Baili Xia obediently nodded, walking and chatting with him about “the events of last night”.

“There are some things I still don’t understand.

I can’t remember all of the people from the Eight Big Families, and there are many names I can’t remember.”

“Some of the relationships are so confusing, why are some older people so young, including Uncle…”

The coordination of the two was simply perfect, unsurpassable.

Mu Xiaojiu like this, where does he seem severely injured or even on the verge of death?

Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo couldn’t help but complain in their hearts.

The informant was not reliable at all.

Nothing happened to Jiu, but they hurried to inform their father, isn’t it a bit forceful?

The more they thought about it, the more embarrassing it became.

…

The dinner proceeded in what appeared to be a pleasant atmosphere.

Baili Xia had finally learned about the origins of Nangong Yun and Nangong Qingqing.

Their father and the old master had been good friends a long, long time ago.

Unfortunately, Sir Nangong had passed away from illness more than a decade ago.

According to the old master, there was once a joke about arranging a marriage for Mu Zijin and Nangong Yun.

The two individuals never spoken about the matter, but their friendship seemed to be quite good.

From the current situation, aside from Nangong Yun, there’s no other woman that Jiu seemed willing to even speak a few words with.

He rejected all other women, does this mean there’s potential for these two?

Of course, to someone of Baili Xia’s generation, the old master naturally wouldn’t have considered her as a potential partner for Jiu.

After dinner, Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo, still not giving up, pestered Mu Xiaojiu to discuss business matters.

Baili Xia, of course, dared not leave.

She was afraid that Uncle wouldn’t be able to bear it once she was gone.

In the end, it was still Mu Xiaojiu who stroked her hair and said in a doting tone.

“Go back and take a bath first, Uncle will come find you later and explain a bit more about the Eight Big Families.”

Only after seeing a hint of reassurance in his eyes, did Baili Xia bid goodbye to everyone before turning around and heading upstairs.

Uncle said he would come to find her later.

It was just an excuse to get rid of the two uncles.

Perhaps in a short while, he would come upstairs.

But she didn’t know if he could climb those stairs by himself.

Baili Xia thought he would use the same method and “borrow” Nangong Yun’s shoulder.

However, when she went upstairs, Nangong Yun was following behind her.

“Jiu often says, he especially likes his little girl Xiaxia, he must be talking about you, right?”

Uninvited, she followed Baili Xia into the room.

The room door, was gently closed behind her.

At that moment, the elegant smile on her face completely disappeared.

Looking at Baili Xia, she sneered: “So, you are the plaything that Jiu has recently been obsessed with?”
