Chapter 386: The truth right before the eyes 05_1

She decided to go and thank Uncle in person.

Baili Xia knew how difficult this would be.

She had been anxious ever since Uncle caught sight of her and Dongfang Ji together.

Now, her mood was somewhat lifted by encountering a particularly affectionate horse.

She looked up.

At a distance, Mu Xiaojiu was seated in a vine chair, leisurely sipping tea.

All around him were countless women, all drooling over him.

But he completely ignored them, sitting alone, gazing at something obscure.

From this far away, she couldn’t decipher the expression on his face.

But his careless, lazy posture was so captivating it was hard for women to look him in the eye.

If you looked too much, it was too easy to become infatuated.

Baili Xia averted her gaze, not wanting to look into those bewitching eyes any longer.

There were so many women who worshipped him; she decided it was better not to join the crowd.

This man was like toxic wine, once you had a taste, it was hard to give up.

However, she would still have to face Uncle…

there was no point in avoiding it.

After greeting Mu Lingchuan, Baili Xia rode her horse Little Bai, following Ye Hua towards Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu finally laid his eyes on her.

Watching the girl and her Ferghana horse, his dark, starry eyes couldn’t help but squint.

The purebred Ferghana horse was as docile as a lamb in front of her, showing no wildness at all.

And her horse riding skills… He didn’t remember anyone in Mu family ever teaching her how to ride.

Although she was not willing to show off her skills, he could see them clearly.

Not only could she ride, but she was also a skilled equestrienne.

Just trying to stay low-key, not wanting to draw attention to herself.

With such good riding skills, who had taught her?

“Uncle.” In a blink of an eye, Baili Xia had already ridden Bai in front of Mu Xiaojiu.

She dismounted from Bai and gazed at Mu Xiaojiu.

“Uncle, did you buy Bai for me or is he a gift?

If it’s the former, I don’t have any money, I don’t want him.”

Ye Hua’s face immediately became strange.

What was Miss Xiaxia doing with such precise calculations?

Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t say anything, which naturally meant that the horse was gifted to her.

Baili Xia didn’t think so.

Uncle was a cunning businessman, so it was better to clarify these things first.

What if he suddenly claimed that she owed him money and asked her to be his lover for a few more years?

She couldn’t afford that.

At that time, it would be hard to explain.

However, Mu Xiaojiu didn’t answer her question.

Instead, he brought up another thorny issue.

“What was the meaning of being arm in arm with Dongfang Ji?

Are you getting bold?”

She knew it, he would definitely not let that slide.

Baili Xia bowed her head and bit her lip, “His hand is attached to his body, not mine.”

“…” Ye Hua touched his nose and quietly stepped aside.

It looked like not only was Mr.

Xiaojiu upset, but Miss Xiaxia also seemed quite unhappy with Mr.

Xiaojiu.

They had argued once before, hadn’t they made up yet?

Mu Xiaojiu grunted heavily, he really wanted to drag this disobedient little creature over and smack her bottom.

Daring to talk back!

“Do you want me to try chopping off his arm?”

Baili Xia still bowed her head.

This time, she said nothing.

Unless necessary, she didn’t want to provoke Uncle.

Uncle…

he really had a terrible temper.

“I was wrong.” She murmured in frustration.

Mu Xiaojiu had wanted to say something else, especially if she dared to talk back again.

But now she was quiet, apologizing to him, and the anger in his heart immediately softened a bit.

Actually, he didn’t really want to fight with her!
