Chapter 46: Uncle Don't!

Baili Xia went limp and fell, while everyone else just stood by and coldly watched.

Seeing a girl lose her strength at the sight of Uncle was not a new scene to Baili Xia.

Of course, Uncle would never lend a helping hand.

He hated when girls would get close to him.

Mu Ziying was completely caught off guard, and by the time she realized Baili Xia was falling, it was already too late to save her.

Even Baili Xia herself thought that she would surely fall mercilessly on her butt, humiliating herself in front of everyone.

But this time, everyone was wrong.

A long arm suddenly reached out and effortlessly caught Baili Xia just as she was about to hit the ground.

Then, with a pull of his long arm, the girl was trapped in his embrace.

They were very close, extremely close.

There was no space left between them at all!

Their bodies pressed tightly together.

Baili Xia nearly fainted.

To her, this situation was worse than falling onto the ground and eating her own face in the dirt.

She would rather eat dirt than being held in this man’s arms, especially in public.

Well, no, public or not, she didn’t like it at all.

“Ah…” Finally, a girl reacted, screaming desperately.

Uncle!

Uncle, who never wanted to be close to women, was holding Baili Xia!

He held a girl!

But she was not the one!

Gasps of shock resounded, followed of course, by the sound of many fragile hearts shattering.

Mu Ziying also gawked at the two embracing, unable to wrap her mind around it.

Xiaxia…and Uncle…

“Are you not accustomed to the atmosphere of the Mu family?” Uncle, who had been taciturn until now, held Baili Xia and asked her in a voice so gentle it could drown someone.

Oh no!

More hearts shattered into pieces!

But did Uncle know Baili Xia?

“No, I just…

I just lost my balance…” Baili Xia recovered faster than the other heartbroken girls.

She tried to push him away, but the arm around her waist suddenly tightened, scaring her into abandoning her efforts.

He was not someone she could afford to mess with.

“Jiu, you’re back?” Mu Zhentian emerged from the parted crowd.

Seeing Jiu holding Baili Xia, instead of getting mad, a smile tugged at his eyes.

Jiu really cared for Xiaxia, he had noticed it early on.

With Xiaxia’s presence, even the cold Jiu started to show some warmth, the house would definitely become more harmonious and warm in the future.

Jiu=Mu Xiaojiu, still holding Baili Xia, nodded at Mu Zhentian, and called out softly, “Dad.”

Baili Xia’s knees went weak, but there was Uncle holding her, she couldn’t fall down.

So, the Jiu grandfather always mentioned…

was him.

Mu Xiaojiu, Jiu…

She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

She had no choice but to accept the reality.

“Xiaxia, you and Uncle…” Mu Ziying was curious, they obviously knew each other!

“The Xiaxia who was discovered with your grandpa, such a cute little girl, Uncle likes her very much.” Mu Xiaojiu’s words were directed at Mu Ziying, but his eyes were on Baili Xia.

Baili Xia didn’t speak.

Whether he liked her or saw her as a plaything, who knew?

Mu Ziying, delighted that Uncle was talking to her, didn’t think much of it.

Although Uncle obviously preferred Baili Xia, she was not jealous, just a bit envious.

Xiaxia was really lucky.

Uncle didn’t usually show fondness towards juniors that easily.

Now, all the girls at the party must be envying her!
