Chapter 437: Uncle be gentle 14_1

Baili Xia had no idea how to entice him, so she merely kissed his shoulder.

She wouldn’t even dare to touch him anywhere else.

Yet, these simple, innocent kisses seemed enough to almost make him explode!

His hand, holding the cup, kept tightening dangerously.

Several times, he wanted to toss the cup aside, grasp her waist and pull her forcefully towards him.

But this time, he mustered every bit of his will to restrain himself.

He needed to overcome the spell this body had over him.

He couldn’t lose himself over her again and again.

He was Mu Xiaojiu, the formidable Mr.

Xiaojiu respected by everyone; he wasn’t someone to be led around by the nose!

Yet, why wasn’t this girl responding as he expected her to?

“Are you trying to tease me on purpose?”

He thought he could say it nonchalantly.

But when the words left his lips, his voice was so hoarse he could hardly hear himself.

Baili Xia was so nervous that sweat had already started to bead on her forehead.

She shook her head vehemently!

Tease him?

She wouldn’t dare even if she had the guts of a lion!

She was just clueless about what to do…

This was so difficult…

“All I can do is talk to Nangong Yun and ask her to help you out.

Whether she helps or not, is not something I’m concerned about.”

To distract himself, Mu Xiaojiu tried to change the topic.

However, the veins throbbing on his forehead exposed his agitation and struggle.

Baili Xia nodded, oblivious to his intentions.

She was still very nervous.

“As long as Uncle is willing to help, that… that would be enough.”

Mu Xiaojiu moistened his lips.

A bead of sweat slid down his temple.

His body was once again unbearably tense.

His reason and desire were tearing at each other.

Unable to come up with a new topic, he turned away and suddenly asked, “Who taught you how to ride?”

Baili Xia was taken aback, stopped what she was doing, and looked at him, somewhat puzzled.

Seeing her reaction, he could easily guess who her teacher was.

“So it seems that a lot has happened between you two.” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was still raspy, but icy cold.

“No, not much.

At that time, Mr.

Jin was just bored so he taught me horsemanship in the back yard.”

“He…well…given his physical condition, he did more talking than demonstrating.

I just followed his instructions.

There was hardly any physical contact between us… really.”

He was most concerned about her body, she knew that.

He wouldn’t tolerate her body being touched by any other man.

So, she hurriedly explained, hoping only that he wouldn’t get too angry.

Mu Xiaojiu took a couple of deep breaths.

His sweaty palm finally let go of the empty wine cup.

He was still hesitating if he should hold her waist or not.

The difference between ‘should’ and ‘should not’ was just one simple word.

Yet, for him, it seemed more difficult than risking his life.

“Tell me… about your past.” He gritted his teeth and his chest heaved.

“Past…?” Baili Xia was dazed and stared at him quizzically.

“I asked you to talk, not to stop.” He suddenly growled.

Scared, Baili Xia started trembling.

She trembled so hard that she accidentally brushed against him.

Mu Xiaojiu felt like he was going to lose his mind!

Unable to restrain himself any longer, his hand dropped to her waist and he pulled her into his arms!

“You little vixen!

Are you here to punish me on purpose?”

He threw her onto the bed.

No matter how hard he tried to deny it, he had to admit it.

Her body was like opium to him; once he had a taste, he could not give it up!

He could not give her up!

He had utterly lost to her!
