Chapter 44: Uncle Don't!

Baili Xia didn’t say a word, falling in love after one glance at a man was a bit of an exaggeration, wasn’t it?

But speaking about such a charming man, an exceptionally handsome face did immediately pop up in her mind.

Just thinking about Mu Xiaojiu and his icy, intimidating face made her shiver slightly.

He was indeed handsome and charming, but unfortunately, he was too frightening.

Mu Ziying, oblivious to her discomfort, continued to sing praises about their Uncle.

“Our Uncle is definitely the handsomest and most charming man in all of Jin City.

My cousins, Lingchuan and Xiaoyao, aren’t they both extremely attractive?”

She stared at Baili Xia, and only when she nodded did Mu Ziying continue, “But, Uncle is even more handsome than them!”

“Although he is our Uncle, he was born when our grandfather was quite old.

So, he’s very young and just twenty-eight this year.”

“Our Uncle is a veritable heartthrob for young ladies and married women.

More than ninety percent of the girls in our class have a crush on him.”

“Look at all my sister’s friends.

They are all dressed up and flaunting their beauty.

Actually, they are all just trying to catch Uncle’s attention.”

Even after all her talking, Mu Ziying still didn’t get a chance to finish all her praises of their Uncle.

A group of girls was already heading in her direction.

“Anyway, Uncle is very charming.” Short on time, she finally told Baili Xia, “Unfortunately, Uncle hates it when women get close to him.

It doesn’t matter if they are beautiful or not.”

“So Xiaxia, remember, when Uncle comes back later, don’t break his rules and get all bewitched, wanting to get close to him.

If he gets angry, the consequences can be dreadful!”

Soon after, Mu Ziying was dragged away by her female classmates.

From a distance, the complaining voices of the girls could still be heard: “Where is your Uncle?

You said he would come tonight?”

“Right, Ziying, did you lie to us?”

“If we knew Uncle wasn’t going to come, we wouldn’t have wasted our time coming tonight.

This banquet isn’t fun at all.”

“Exactly…”

Baili Xia rubbed her slightly aching temples, feeling utterly uninterested in this legendary Uncle.

After witnessing Mr.

Xiaojiu’s breathtakingly handsome face, she thought, it would be hard for any man to impress her again.

Uncle…

well, sometimes legends cannot be entirely trusted.

“Xiaxia, where did you go?

Grandpa has been looking for you.” Suddenly, a familiar voice approached softly.

Baili Xia immediately collected herself, moved her lips into a smiley curve, and then turned to look at the approaching person.

“Grandpa, I saw that it was crowded inside, so I came out for a breath of fresh air.

I completely forgot to inform you.

I’m sorry, please don’t be angry, grandpa.”

She turned around, looped her arm with Mu Zhentian’s and smiled sweetly and obediently.

Seeing her sweet smile, the old patriarch was instantly delighted.

How could he be angry?

“Grandpa wanted to introduce you to some friends, but if you think it’s boring, we can pass.”

Patting her arm, he smiled, “The girls are all waiting for Jiu to arrive.

You aren’t also waiting for him, are you?”

No one knew better than him how outstanding his son was.

He could only feel helpless, and of course, a hint of pride at the girls’ sentiments for his son.

“Jiu?” Xiaxia furrowed her brow.

Before the old patriarch could say anything, the already departed Mu Ziying suddenly turned around, rushed to Baili Xia, grabbed her hand and headed towards the front door of the hall, “Uncle is back, Xiaxia, I’m going to introduce you to our superstar!”
