Chapter 50: Chapter 50_1

A group of girls silently stood aside, eagerly waiting for Mu Xiaojiu’s response.

But, Uncle didn’t make a peep from beginning to end.

It was Baili Xia, who was quietly eating on the side, that finally caught their attention.

She was sitting next to Uncle, the two of them huddled closely.

Uncle not only didn’t push her away, but rather, he lightly wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

Mu Ziqing was envious, Uncle was her real uncle, but now, it felt as if Baili Xia was his real niece?

She was just a wild child that they brought back!

But, Uncle was fond of her!

“Uncle…” she called out timidly again.

Mu Xiaojiu then suddenly lowered his head to look at the girl sitting next to him.

“Does Xiaxia want to go?”

“Huh?” Baili Xia was dumbfounded, why was he asking her?

The others were also startled but quickly recovered.

Although Mu Ziqing completely despised Baili Xia, for the sake of her limited edition handbag, she put on a friendly face.

Looking at Baili Xia, she smiled elegantly and gently said, “Xiaxia, we’re all young girls.

You’ve just returned to the Mu family and might not know many people yet.

You could get to know them at the party.”

“Yeah, Xiaxia, I can introduce you to a lot of friends,” Tang Shanshan chimed in immediately, “They are all fun to be with.”

“Xiaxia, please say yes.

Would you attend the party with Uncle, please?”

“Come with Uncle.”

The girls chatted incessantly, as if convincing Baili Xia would certainly ensure Uncle’s attendance.

And indeed, Mu Xiaojiu seemed to have passed the decision to Baili Xia.

Baili Xia looked up at him, to which he simply said, “If Xiaxia wants to go, Uncle will accompany you.”

However, Baili Xia could not help but grumble inwardly.

This guy was just looking for an excuse to refuse, wasn’t he?

Did he expect her to reject the invitation for him?

Dream on!

“Sure.” Hiding her small scheme, she looked at Mu Ziqing and said with a smile, “Since Uncle also wants to go, then why not?”

The group of girls erupted in cheer.

To not give Uncle a chance to change his mind, they quickly retreated.

Though Uncle might be difficult to deal with, his words were always reliable.

After the girls had left, Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze landed upon Baili Xia’s face.

She pretended not to notice and continued to leisurely eat her cake.

But in truth, his stare was making her scalp tingle.

Although her body was tense, she tried to maintain a relaxed appearance, this little one…

A hint of amusement flashed in Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes.

His fingers trailed over her face again, “Since you agreed to attend the party, do you have an evening dress?”

Baili Xia really wanted to chop off his intrusive fingers!

Would he die if he stopped taking advantage of her?

But…

“Evening dress?”

It was just an evening dress.

Her grandfather had prepared many for her.

What was there to be fancy about?

But the next words from Mu Xiaojiu nearly made her slide off the small sofa chair.

“At this kind of party, girls should wear low and see-through dresses, preferably…

without anything underneath.

Otherwise, they’ll be considered old-fashioned.”

“Wha…

what?” Baili Xia nearly choked on her cake.

Low, see-through, and perhaps, nothing underneath…?

Is this a party or…?

“It’s a game among the young men and women of wealthy families.

Since you agreed, I’ll have someone make a see-through dress for you.

I’d be interested to see how you look in it, it might be quite pleasant to the eye.”

Taking a glass of red wine from a passing servant, Mu Xiaojiu stopped looking at her and made a toast with his elder brother who just arrived.

But Baili Xia found herself unable to eat the cake anymore, disturbed by his words.

A see-through dress…

Mr.

Xiaojiu, was he joking?

She regretted it now.

She didn’t want to go anymore, could she change her mind?
