Chapter 425: Uncle be gentle 02_1

Baili Xia froze, instinctively biting upon her lower lip, remaining silent.

“Indeed, it’s for that guy!”

He scoffed coldly, releasing her chin.

His long arm swooped onto her waist, drawing her onto himself.

Baili Xia couldn’t resist; all she could do was fall into his arms, press against his chest, and feel his scorching warmth.

He didn’t want her to mention Jin.

Uncle was indeed upset, upset with her association with Jin.

But there were certain things she had to do this time around; it wasn’t about entangling herself with Dongfang Jin.

In fact, she now belonged to Uncle; her body was no longer as it used to be.

With her current circumstances, she and Dongfang Jin could never revert to their past relationship.

Indeed, she didn’t think about their feelings or lack thereof.

Uncle misunderstood, he really misunderstood her this time.

All she felt was unease, she couldn’t let Dongfang Jin continue to be manipulated by Lu Xuening.

Furthermore, she had obviously noticed today that Jin’s consciousness had started to waver slightly.

He must have been affected by Lu Xuening in some way, once again manipulated through hypnosis, making him lose memories of the day.

She had to expose Lu Xuening; she wanted to help Dongfang Jin become normal.

She wanted to help him; Uncle…

did he understand?

Even if she wanted to help him, it wasn’t because she was still caught up in the past, she had long since let go of everything.

But Uncle, he wasn’t giving her any chance to explain.

“Still thinking about that man?

It seems you really have forgotten your status.”

Suddenly, the strong arm wrapped around her waist tightened its grip.

Baili Xia grunted, pressing her hands against his chest.

She looked up at his hard-lined chin and bit her lip.

“I haven’t forgotten that I am yours, at least until the contract ends, my body belongs only to you, Uncle…”

She took a deep breath.

He was holding her so tightly that although it may not have meant much to him, for her, it was almost devastating.

She was literally short of breath!

Taking another deep breath, she continued: “Uncle, Jin and I…”

“I told you not to mention that man again!”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t even look at her, his voice cold and serious.

Baili Xia’s hand landed on his arm, gently pushing him.

“Uncle, I won’t mention him anymore.

Uncle, can you let me go first?

I…”

She gasped for breath twice more, continuing to push him.

“I can hardly breathe, Uncle, please ease up.”

Hearing this, Mu Xiaojiu was willing to look at her reluctantly.

Seeing that her pale face had indeed turned red, he suddenly realized that his grip had indeed been too tight.

So fragile that he could almost strangle her with just a pinch.

A hint of pity that was almost invisible to others flashed in his eyes, and he finally loosened his grasp on her a little.

His long arm still held her waist tightly, letting her rest on him.

Baili Xia immediately opened her mouth, gasping heavily.

This man was truly savage, and so powerful.

Didn’t he know that a casual hug from him could nearly cost her life?

But he usually wouldn’t hold her this tightly; it seemed that he was indeed quite angry today.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything more, and Baili Xia didn’t dare to speak anymore either.

A silent journey.

…

About half an hour later, the car stopped at Sihai Residence.

Ye Hua got out first, taking a brand-new shirt out of the trunk.

Returning to the back seat, he opened the car door and handed it forward with both hands.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t take it, his gaze falling on the woman in his arms instead.
