Chapter 267: Just Like Her Body

“Don’t touch me!” Baili Xia’s small hand pressed down on Mu Xiaojiu’s, trying hard to push him away.

“Who doesn’t know about your good relationship with her?

You’re going to get married soon, aren’t you?”

She lifted her small face to look at him, her face determined.

Mu Xiaojiu also stared at her; his dark pupils gradually darkening.

Women, should they really not be pampered?

Where did the obedient little creature from the past go?

Now, does she only know how to make him angry?

“I told you, she’s not my fiancée.”

Again and again, she questioned his relationship with Nangong Yun, did she really not trust him at all?

How many times did he have to say it before she believed him?

Why should he, for a little girl who doesn’t understand anything, have to explain again and again?

He has never liked to explain things!

“But, she is an important woman in your life, so important that you would give up your life for her!”

Nangong Yun said that he would give her anything she wanted!

How Baili Xia wished Uncle could deny it, but Uncle’s gaze at her was cold now.

The coldness in his eyes let her know that her last hope had vanished completely.

She gently pushed him away, trying to get down from him.

But Mu Xiaojiu’s grip suddenly tightened, not only preventing her from leaving, but also pinching her chin.

He seemed to use too much force, and several red marks immediately appeared on her chin.

“Um…” Baili Xia bit her lip and furrowed her brows.

Even if she was in pain, she refused to say another word.

“Want to know Nangong Yun’s importance to me?” Mu Xiaojiu sneered coldly, with a dark and deep gaze.

“You think, what right do you have to know?”

He had once said that as long as she behaved, he would pamper her.

But if she insisted on fighting with him, he wasn’t to blame for not being tender.

He had come to see her tonight, not only as an excuse to ditch his brothers but also because he genuinely wanted to be close to her.

But who would have thought she would treat him with hostility all along.

She never dared to do this before.

Was it because he had been too kind to her that she forgot her status?

Baili Xia didn’t say a word, she just bit her lip hard.

Uncle’s “By what right,” completely extinguished her hopes.

So, that’s how insignificant she was to him.

By what right could she oppose him?

“I will say it again, Nangong Yun is not my fiancée, if you think otherwise, that’s your problem.”

Mu Xiaojiu coldly snorted, his eyes were chilling.

“But you were right about one thing, she is important to me, so it won’t be good for you to intentionally go against her.”

“What if she intentionally goes against me?”

“She is far more mature than you; she has no interest in the games that only children would play.”

Baili Xia clenched her fists tightly and didn’t say anything.

She did not want to say another word.

In Uncle’s eyes, she and Nangong Yun’s images were already set.

She was the unreasonable child, while Nangong Yun was the elegant, mature, and good woman!

Even if she told him what Nangong Yun had just said to her, he wouldn’t believe it anymore, right?

Since he won’t believe her, what’s the point in talking anymore.

“I’m tired, Uncle, I want to rest now.

Please leave.” She said coldly.

“Leave?” Mu Xiaojiu raised an eyebrow, laughing instead of being angry.

“Have you forgotten your status?”

His long fingers traced over her pink lips, his smile ice-cold and merciless.

“Don’t think that because I was poisoned for you, that I care about you as a person.

What I care about is nothing more than your body.”
