Chapter 37: Isn't it Easier to Seduce if You Strip Naked_1

“Change clothes?” Baili Xia’s words did not persuade Mu Lingchuan to leave as she had hoped.

On the contrary, he suddenly leaned in, drawing himself even closer.

“Why bother changing clothes to seduce a man?

Isn’t it easier when you’re completely naked?”

Seduce…

a man?

Baili Xia dramatically widened her big, round eyes, staring unblinkingly at his face, which was inching closer and closer.

What was he talking about?

Was he implying that she…

was seducing him?

In an instant, rage began to simmer in her eyes.

Just as Mu Lingchuan was about to touch her face with his outstretched hand, she suddenly swatted it away with force.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I believe you must be misunderstanding something.”

“Misunderstanding?” Mu Lingchuan wasn’t angered by her pushing him away.

Instead, the disgust in his eyes intensified.

“Don’t play hard to get in front of me.” He let out a cold huff.

When he looked at her, his gaze carried nothing but contempt.

“You’re aware that our grandfather’s heart disease has worsened beyond treatment, and that’s why you chose to return at this time, to claim the inheritance of the Mu family?

Do you seriously think you’re deserving?”

Baili Xia was so stunned that she couldn’t respond, not because of his comment about the Mu family’s inheritance, but because he said…

their grandfather has incurable heart disease!

Grandfather has heart disease…

Why wasn’t she aware?

He seemed perfectly fine…

How could this be…

“Don’t tell me you’re not aware of grandfather’s health condition.

That line might work on a three-year-old!”

Mu Lingchuan had made up his mind, convinced she was here to take advantage of the Mu family at this critical moment.

Therefore, he looked at her with disdain.

Baili Xia didn’t want to defend herself for, at times like these, he would not listen anyway.

Hesitant, she suddenly turned her back to him and prepared to get out of bed.

She wanted to visit their grandfather and inquire about his health.

She…

was genuinely concerned.

Grandfather had always treated her sincerely well.

Even though they had only been together for two days, she could truly feel his love and endearment.

But before she could get out of bed, she suddenly felt her wrist tighten.

Mu Lingchuan had pulled her back.

“Where are you going?” He frowned, his tone filled with displeasure.

“I’m going to visit grandfather.” Baili Xia replied honestly.

“Planning to complain to him, about how I’m not treating you well?

Not pampering you like they do?” Mu Lingchuan’s eyebrows furrowed even more, the disgust in his eyes too strong to ignore.

Baili Xia took a deep breath.

Grandfather was unwell, and she didn’t want any conflict to arise with him.

She just wanted to go and see him.

“Brother, I…”

“Alright, just obediently call me brother in front of grandfather.

I’ll definitely play along with your act.”

The fake smile on the corner of Mu Lingchuan’s mouth faded instantly as he looked into Baili Xia’s beautiful face, which he, at this moment, loathed immensely.

He scoffed, “Whether it’s me or Xiaoyao, I don’t care who you want to marry.

But, if you dare to harm grandfather or the Mu family in any way, I swear, I will kill you with my own hands!”

He flung her wrist away forcefully and abruptly stood upright.

Looking at the girl he had just pushed onto the bed, his gaze was as cold as an iceberg.

“Remember my words, if anything happens to grandfather because of you, I will torture you to death without mercy!”

The man, who came and left like the wind, finally turned and walked away.

His threatening words from before he left were still echoing in Baili Xia’s mind, each syllable etched into her brain.

She did not understand what he meant at all.

Whether to marry him or Xiaoyao… Was he referring to Brother Xiaoyao?

Baili Xia felt like she was going insane.

When did she ever say she wanted to marry either of them?
