Chapter 336: Once He Adored Her As His Life 19_1

“Tell me a joke, quickly.” Mu Xiaojiu suddenly ordered in a hoarse voice.

Baili Xia pouted her lips; he always spoke to her in a commanding tone, such a bully!

She racked her brain to think of a funny story, but she couldn’t come up with one on the spot.

Instead, a conversation she had with someone over a year ago came to mind.

—Why would you be the first to concede knowing it’s my fault?

—What if you are rude to other men if I don’t?

Jin… her nose tingled, she lowered her head and began to whisper.

“There was a couple who always argued, and it was always the boy who apologized first.”

“One day, the boy’s friend asked him, ‘Your girlfriend is always being unreasonable, why do you always give in to her?'”

“The boy smiled at his friend and said, ‘She is unreasonable to me because she loves me.’

“‘It takes a lot of love for one to dare to be unreasonable in front of another.

If a woman is willing to reason with you, it might be because she no longer loves you.’

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything, and Baili Xia didn’t know what to say next.

Why on earth did she think of that story?

Would talking about this kind of stuff to Uncle be… too boring?

Just as Baili Xia thought Mu Xiaojiu would denounce the story as boring, maybe even calling her foolish, Mu Xiaojiu spoke nonchalantly.

“That boy was lying.

That’s not what he really thinks.”

“Why?” She abruptly raised her head to look at him, her clear eyes blinking.

Doesn’t this touching story move him at all?

As expected, Uncle never believes in true affection.

He himself is a heartless man.

“Why are you looking at me with those eyes?

I’m just stating the facts.”

Mu Xiaojiu snorted, his body finally starting to feel less uncomfortable.

He slowly loosened his grasp on her, stood upright, and gazed at her.

“When have I not been the first to give in during our conversations?”

“When have you ever given in to me?” Baili Xia grumbled.

She had always been the one to concede, he had some nerve saying it with such conviction!

“Nonsense!

I must lower my head to look at your face when I talk to you, you’re so tiny!”

He was probably feeling better now and let go of her to walk away: “Let’s go shopping.”

Who knows if he might suddenly become impulsive again if he kept holding her?

“…” Baili Xia stood where she was, staring blankly at his tall retreating figure, speechless.

He was so tall… he would indeed have to lower his head to see her face when he talked to her.

But, wasn’t she just sharing a touching little story?

Couldn’t he have responded?

Mu Xiaojiu’s interruption had shattered the slight sadness that she had been feeling, making it disappear immediately.

Bad Uncle, he wouldn’t even let her feel a little bit melancholic!

In the end, she caught up with him and reluctantly linked her arm through his at his gesture.

No more melancholy, no more reminiscing.

Let the past stay in the past; why think so much about it?

Just like Uncle said, he has always bent down to speak to her, right?

Bending down, doesn’t really mean anything.

It’s all in the past…

…

They had shopped for nearly the entire afternoon, their spoils were so much that their several cars could barely fit all of them.

But Uncle didn’t seem the least bit tired even after shopping for so long.

Did this mean that his health had really improved?

At dinner time, Baili Xia expressed her concern: “Uncle… how’s your health…”

“All better, do you want to go back and give it a try tonight?”
