Chapter 495: Uncle's Plan_1

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, and Nangong Xu added, “If you’re not afraid that she’ll hurt herself when she wakes up and sees you’re emotionally distressed, I’ll leave.”

Mu Xiaojiu grunted in response, gave Baili Xia a deep look, and then stepped out.

Mu Xiaoyao also glanced at Baili Xia, and then finally turned around and left with Mu Xiaojiu.

“Uncle, I have something to tell you.”

As soon as he got out, Mu Xiaoyao immediately followed.

But Mu Xiaojiu didn’t even look back, “There’s nothing to say.”

“Uncle…”

“If you really have free time, you might as well accompany your uncle for a few drinks.”

So he left, went back to the Great Hall, went back to the bar, and quietly drank by himself.

After who knows how long, even Mu Xiaoyao walked over.

He took a cup from his hand and started gulping it down.

“You can’t handle your liquor, drink less,” Mu Xiaojiu said casually.

Mu Xiaoyao glanced at him, there was a hint of alcohol in his eyes, but those eyes were clear and piercing.

He picked up his cup and took a sip, “Although you can handle your liquor, it’s not good for your health.

Just because you don’t get drunk, doesn’t mean it doesn’t affect you.”

That light sigh, he wasn’t sure if it really existed.

For someone as stiff as Mu Xiaoyao, sighing was a peculiar thing.

“Uncle, you should drink less too.” He murmured.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything, he just quietly drank.

The uncle-nephew duo had been like this for many years, even if they were mad at each other one second, they would be okay the next.

However, Mu Xiaoyao has never been this defiant with Mu Xiaojiu, today was really the first time.

“Uncle, really, can’t you tell me your plans?”

He really cared, not about what the plan was.

Instead, does his uncle not telling him mean that he doesn’t trust him enough?

“No.” Mu Xiaojiu’s words left no room for negotiation.

Mu Xiaoyao looked at him blandly for a moment, before finally withdrawing his gaze.

“Alright, I don’t have to ask.

But you should know that whatever you do, I will support you.”

With an almost imperceptible gloom in his eyes, his heart was still filled with sorrow.

“As long as, you trust me.”

“If what I do is detrimental to the Mu family, will you still support me?”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t miss the disappointment in Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes.

For a moment, he really wanted to tell him everything.

He had been alone for too long, never finding anyone he could talk to.

Bearing so much alone, silently, from a young age.

Sometimes, he wished he had someone to confide in too.

Even if that person couldn’t do anything for him, as long as he could speak his mind, express his troubles, it might be satisfied.

Once he had expressed his feelings, he would pick himself up again and continue on.

But, he couldn’t, not yet.

Some bitterness is better swallowed alone; why drag others into it?

Telling him would only plunge him into boundless pain.

This somewhat cool and cute big boy was not meant to taste this kind of pain.

Mu Xiaoyao kept watching him, clearly noticing his hesitation.

But in the end, Uncle swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Uncle decided to suffer in silence.

His troubles, he never wanted him to know.

“I know, no matter what you do, you won’t truly harm the Mu family.”

He believed this, with his life.

Uncle would never harm the Mu family!

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at him, his eyes complicated.

“Do you really believe that?”
