Chapter 355: Wuli Uncle is Very Tsundere 08_1

“Did I ever tell you to leave?”

Just as Baili Xia reached for the doorknob, a low voice suddenly rang from behind.

It was Mu Xiaojiu.

His voice was deep and husky, with an attractive timbre, but it still managed to scare her a little.

Frightened…

her fingers tightened on the door handle, she turned around and asked him, “Uncle, is there anything else?”

“Can’t I keep you here even if there’s nothing else?”

He didn’t even look at her as he slowly took a puff from his cigarette and gently blew out the smoke.

Instantly, the room filled with smoke.

“Don’t forget who you are.

Our agreement clearly states that you are my lover.

Do you know what a lover is?”

Baili Xia’s heart skipped a beat.

She had not expected his sudden change in demeanor at all.

They had spent the entire afternoon shopping, eating, and watching a movie.

While their relationship was not particularly warm.

At least, it had been relatively relaxed and comfortable.

But now, the Uncle in her sight was aloof and haughty, hardly approachable…

She could not help but rub her temples, looking at him.

“Uncle, did I do something wrong again?”

It has been a while since they met, and she knew his temper and personality traits to some extent by now.

She knew she should never go against his wishes, no matter what.

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, leaning against the table, finally casting his gaze on her.

He again raised his slender fingers, lazily smoking his cigarette, his eyes concealed and hard to read.

Indeed, when he was silent, there was an inexplicable mysterious aura about him.

And once mysterious, he became fully concealed to everyone.

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward, and Baili Xia became more and more uncomfortable.

After a long silence, just as she was about to speak, Mu Xiaojiu beat her to it; “Go and take a shower.”

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly understood what he meant.

She looked anxiously at him.

“Uncle, I…

I can’t right now.”

“When will you be ready?”

Baili Xia bit her lip.

Answering this question felt embarrassing, but she had to respond: “Typically…”

She lowered her gaze, hesitated, then continued: “Typically, it takes four or five days.”

“I don’t recall my agreement having such a clause, allowing you a period of rest.”

“Uncle!” she exclaimed.

She looked up at him, her face turning pale.

She was still on her period, surely he wouldn’t take advantage of her at this time?

What had she done wrong this time to anger him so much?

He hadn’t been like this in the afternoon and evening.

Could it be that…

he had noticed something unusual between her and Jin?

But Jin already had a fiancee, and there was no overlap between the two of them.

Unless…

Suddenly remembering something, Baili Xia’s face turned even paler.

In a time of danger, she had uncontrollably shouted out Dongfang Jin’s name, warning him to be careful.

Was that the reason why Uncle was upset?

But she hadn’t thought about it at all then, she was just worried about Jin’s safety.

Was Uncle being unreasonable?

He himself had gone to save Jin!

Why would he mind her warning Jin verbally?

Baili Xia couldn’t understand Mu Xiaojiu’s attitude at all.

Prompted by his icy gaze, she went to the wardrobe and opened it.

The wardrobe had a cold color palette, and the clothes inside had always been in the same cool tones.

But now, there was a touch of softness added to the palette.

The spacious wardrobe was split in half.

His clothes occupied one-half, and hers the other.

The contrast of soft, warm colors and cold, stark ones was a sight to behold.

Suddenly, it felt like something had hit her heart.

Even she herself didn’t know what she was feeling.

It was as if something within her was being stirred up.

Her existence…

had now become a part of his life…
