Chapter 34: Thought You Could Escape_1

“Okay.” Baili Xia took a deep breath, looking into Sir Mu’s soft gaze, “Grandfather, I want to go home now, can we leave right now?”

Never to stay here again, never to see that terrible man again!

Goodbye, everything here, goodbye, Mu Xiaojiu…

No, never to meet again!

She wants to start her new life, she never wants to see that terrifying man again!

“Grandfather, let’s go, let’s leave right now.”

“Now?” Sir Mu was a bit startled, it was already night.

“Now.” Baili Xia tightened her grip on his hand again, her face resolute: “Grandfather, let’s leave right now.”

It was getting late, she was afraid they wouldn’t be able to leave, she was afraid Mr.

Xiaojiu might appear unexpectedly.

She always had this feeling that once he came, she would never be able to leave in this lifetime.

She didn’t know what obedience meant, nor did she know if she could be obedient forever.

If one day she disobeyed, her fate would be more frightful than Qi Ya’s.

“Grandfather…”

Finally, Sir Mu nodded and smiled: “Okay, if Xiaxia says we should go, then let’s go now.”

And so, the night suddenly became busy.

Her mother was sent off to receive treatment in a foreign hospital.

Although Baili Xia did not go with her, Sir Mu said that there were the best doctors and nurses there.

As for Baili Xia herself, after hastily packing a few things, she, along with Ye Ying and Sir Mu, boarded a plane to Jin City.

The night was dark and deep.

The man by the window held a tall glass, carelessly swirling the crimson liquid within.

In his profound eyes, reflecting the tiny lights of the night sky, unfathomable depths, a complex sheen impossible to predict.

Like the night, his tall and slender figure was increasingly captivating, yet the more you looked, the less clear it became.

When Ye Hua entered, Mu Xiaojiu was still standing by the window, drinking alone in the darkness.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu.” Ye Hua came up behind him, respectfully speaking.

Seeing that he made no response, Ye Hua continued to report: “Her mother has been sent to a foreign hospital, and she has also left with Sir Mu.”

Mu Xiaojiu still remained silent, but the amused look in his eyes grew stronger.

She ran away, using this method to escape, did she think she could truly escape him?

Perhaps he could understand the feelings of the little creature.

He wasn’t angry that the little creature had run from him, on the contrary, he was slightly looking forward to it.

He looked forward to seeing what expression would be on the little creature’s face when they meet again.

Would she be shocked, incredulous, despairing, or…frightened into passing out?

Really, it was too exciting to think about!

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, since Sheng Yi’s project is cancelled, our business here is also finished.”

Ye Hua was still looking at the captivating silhouette before him and seriously asked, “Mr.

Xiaojiu, when do you plan to return to Jin City?”

Mu Xiaojiu did not respond immediately, but instead raised his glass, taking a sip of his drink.

The moonlight and the lamplight fell on him simultaneously, casting two shadows of differing depths on the ground.

The mottled light, the blurred shadow, made him appear even more mysterious and enigmatic.

In this moment, even Ye Hua, who had been by his side for over a decade, admitted his inability to see through him.

He did not know what he was thinking and dared not to make assumptions.

Finally, after finishing the drink in the glass, Mu Xiaojiu casually threw it, the tall glass flawlessly landing on a table at least ten meters away.

He turned his head to look at Ye Hua, his dark eyes tinged with an inscrutable mischievous smile: “First, let’s go to Sihai City.”
