Chapter 343: Once He Adored Her As His Life 26_1

Lu Xuening took the tissue, gently wiping the tears from her eyes.

When she raised her head to look at Dongfang Jin, her face was tear-streaked, perfecting an image of a pear blossom amidst a downpour.

This sympathetic demeanor could evoke pity in any man’s heart when they saw it.

“I just wanted to see if she’s doing okay.

As you know, it always makes me uneasy when she’s not.”

Sniffling, she forced out a small smile, “I’m fine, I’ll get used to it.”

“Always so vulnerable, who else would they pick on if not you?”

Dongfang Jin handed her another tissue.

Too worried and frustrated to provide any words of comfort.

However, Lu Xuening mustered a smile, “It’s okay.

I don’t mind.”

“Hmm.” He nodded, not speaking to her any further.

Lu Xuening bowed her head again, quietly clearing away the tear stains on her face.

As for the pair on the next table, they’d already started to enjoy their meal heartily.

Baili Xia was actually not feeling great either since she hadn’t expected to run into them here.

However, the opportunity that her uncle had given her earlier to vent out her frustrations did provide some relief.

However, the thought of Dongfang Jin overhearing their cruel words about Lu Xuening made her feel helpless again.

In front of everyone, she was always the one being wronged, and she always appeared as the villain who bullied her.

And they never seemed to consider that Lu Xuening, being their father’s biological daughter, couldn’t possibly be bullied by her.

Either their minds were flawed, or they had prejudice against her.

But regardless of which, it no longer mattered to her.

Picking up a piece of popcorn, she turned her head and offered it near Mu Xiaojiu’s lips, her smile returning: “Uncle, you should try.”

Mu Xiaojiu looked down, his gaze fell on the popcorn in her hand.

A feeling of disdain showed up quite clearly in his eyes.

He had never been one to eat such things.

Although, the two fingers holding the popcorn seemed to promise a more appealing flavor.

So, after some hesitation, he opened his mouth and ate the snack anyway.

However, after biting the popcorn, he suddenly grasped Baili Xia’s small hand, putting her slender and fair fingers in his mouth.

“Uncle…” The two warm lips rubbed against her fingers.

The warm feeling made Baili Xia’s face heat up instantly, turning it bright red.

Her heart was complaining nonstop.

This jerk!

She won’t feed him next time.

She just fed him a piece of popcorn, and he actually took a bite of her!

“Any problems?” he raised an eyebrow and suddenly extended his arm.

Before Baili Xia could react, she was already pulled onto his lap.

She bit her lower lip immediately, fearing that she would involuntarily make a noise.

But Jin and Lu Xuening are right next door.

What if they see her with the Uncle in such an intimate position?

Lu Xuening would not miss this opportunity and would surely spread the news all over upon return.

If the story were to get out from her mouth, things would certainly become much worse!

Her mother just had surgery and was still recovering in the hospital.

If she hears about her daughter being with a rich man at this moment, it would surely enrage her, causing her condition to relapse!

Baili Xia was truly panicked, wishing she could get off Mu Xiaojiu’s lap right away.

But, his arm had already fallen on her waist.

Every time he made this move, she knew there was no escaping.

Fortunately, just as Baili Xia’s heart was beating wildly in panic, the lights in the theater dimmed suddenly.
