Chapter 47: Uncle Don't!

The old man returned to the center of the hall, accompanying Mu Xiaojiu and two little maids, all eyes had remained locked onto Mu Xiaojiu and Baili Xia.

Uncle had personally declared that he is fond of the little girl, Baili Xia.

Baili Xia is indeed very lucky.

Upon entering the family, even Uncle is fond of her.

Pampered by so many people, she is simply the luckiest girl in the world!

Baili Xia, who is loved by so many, just walked beside Mu Xiaojiu with a taut body and a bowed head, from beginning till end.

“Uncle,” Mu Lingchuan, clad in white casual clothes and holding two champagne glasses, approached Mu Xiaojiu, “Just arrived?

Why didn’t you ask me to welcome you at the airport?”

“Not busy?” Mu Xiaojiu took the glass offered, clinked it with Lingchuan’s and casually tossed back the bright red wine, draining the glass.

Though this was an implicit gesture, there were plenty of women gazing, unable to pull themselves back to reality.

“Uncle’s charisma is unstoppable, just look at those girls.”

Smiling, Mu Lingchuan took his empty glass and casually handed it to the servant behind him: “Busy indeed, but Grandfather is throwing a banquet for Xiaxia, right?

No matter how busy I am, I have to take some time off.”

Looking again at Baili Xia, who was nestled in Mu Xiaojiu’s arms, cutely obedient, he chuckled, “It seems Uncle and Xiaxia had known each other for some time?”

“Just a couple of days earlier than you all.” As Mu Xiaojiu spoke, his arm stayed around Baili Xia’s waist, “This girl ain’t bad, I like the sight of her.”

“Seeing Uncle taking a liking to you, make sure you spend more time chatting with him, alright?” Mu Lingchuan looked at Baili Xia.

From his conversation with her now, where was the revulsion from this afternoon?

It was as if he was watching his closest loved one.

His gaze was gentle, even the tone of his voice was full of fondness: “However, Uncle just returned, don’t cling too tightly, let him rest early.”

After nodding at Mu Xiaojiu and bidding him to greet his friends, he turned and left.

Upon seeing the cheerful interaction between Mu Xiaojiu and Baili Xia, Mu Zhentian decided to leave them be and chat with old friends.

The others, although many would have liked to come and chat with Mu Xiaojiu, were deliberately yet subtly blocked by Ye Hua.

With the departure of Mu Lingchuan, the atmosphere changed subtly for Baili Xia and Mu Xiaojiu left alone.

Of course, it seems odd only from Baili Xia’s point of view.

For Mu Xiaojiu, he felt the atmosphere was far from unpleasant.

“Familiar with Lingchuan?” On their way to the confectionery area, hugging Baili Xia, he asked casually.

“Met him…

this afternoon.

He is my elder brother.” In other words, it didn’t matter how familiar they were, they were now a family.

She just didn’t know what to say to please the godlike figure beside her.

She constantly felt that if she said anything wrong, even if he appeared to be smiling, he would definitely hold it against her inside.

Mu Xiaojiu made no reply to her words.

They moved to the confectionery area.

He continued to hold Baili Xia close, but suddenly leaned into her, speaking gently into her ear: “What do you want to eat?

I’ll take it for you.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…

” She swallowed the address she would have used.

Seeing a few girls nearby, completely mesmerized by Mu Xiaojiu, she pursed her lips and murmured back, “Ice cream, vanilla.

Thank you, Uncle.”

“Eating something cold so late isn’t good for you.

Have a small cake instead.” Mu Xiaojiu glanced at a maid nearby.

Immediately, the maid selected a slice of vanilla cake and handed it over respectfully.

With regards to the young master, she didn’t dare to glance too much, fearing that it might offend him.

However, as Baili Xia watched Mu Xiaojiu holding the small cake slice, she couldn’t help but murmur to herself.

For someone so domineering, why did he even bother to ask her what she wanted to eat?

It was just superfluous!
