Chapter 584: Such an Ambiguous Hug_1

Of course, Mu Xiaojiu knew that she didn’t want their relationship to be public, especially not in front of others.

He had at least promised her that he would try his best on this matter.

Well, at least he’d try!

He loosened the grip on his arm, making them appear less like they were embracing.

It rather appeared like Baili Xia was startled by something just now and that her Uncle was comforting her.

However, Baili Xia knew that if this behavior continued, people would surely become suspicious.

Solace should have a limit, shouldn’t it?

There was a fear of him that Baili Xia couldn’t express.

She was fearful that he might get angry again, with consequences following once they got home.

“You, why are you here?”

Baili Xia asked, confused as to why her Uncle would appear at this moment.

“Is it necessary for you to know?” Mu Xiaojiu’s tone hinted at anger, regarding her earlier attitude.

She had pulled such a face the moment they met.

Baili Xia felt helpless, but had no choice, she dared not to offend him.

“No, Uncle, thank you.”

Seeing his disheveled appearance, a hint of gratitude grew within her.

Though she was scared of her Uncle, he did offer his help just now.

If she thought about experiencing all these things herself…

But now, having happened to her Uncle, it was no different than happening to her.

Claiming she was not nervous, would be a lie.

“Uncle, quickly check what’s on you, just in case it’s something poisonous.”

The truth was, recalling the charity sale from before, where Mu Xiaojiu was indirectly poisoned because of her…

Baili Xia was worried; it seemed like it was yet another scheme involving her again.

“Are you stupid? Can’t you smell it?” His voice carried a hint of mockery.

“Huh?” Only then did Baili Xia notice, the air was filled with an ink-like odor.

Turns out it was just ink, those girls hadn’t yet reached the peak of maliciousness.

If they ran into real troublemakers, they would surely not just use an ink attack.

Apparently, it was correct.

She had been spending too much time with her Brother and Dongfang Ji recently.

In school, by these little fans, she was seen as an adversary.

After having been caught on camera, now she had been blocked again, and attacked with ink.

Being together with the top student, it’s important to maintain a clear reputation.

Life security indeed held no guarantee.

“It’s disgusting how easy you throw yourself at handsome guys,”

Seeing Baili Xia and Mu Xiaojiu together, flames of jealousy ignited in the hearts of the girls surrounding them.

Those who knew Mu Xiaojiu had basically all left.

Those who didn’t know him were yelling at Baili Xia, right in front of him.

Moreover, as Mu Xiaojiu was turned away from them, they couldn’t see his face!

Of course, it seemed like Baili Xia was being roughly embraced.

But in the eyes of these girls, all that was filtered out.

What concerned them was that a man as handsome as him had embraced her immediately upon his arrival!

Especially, after hearing her call him ‘Uncle’, it was even more unbearable.

It turned out to be her elder relative, and yet, he behaved so intimately.

Of course, they didn’t care whom he might have been with.

One sharp-eyed girl recognized Mu Xiaojiu and shrieked in a frenzy.

“It’s Mr. Xiaojiu, it’s Mr. Xiaojiu!”

Once she shouted, the few remaining girls immediately reacted.

Mr.

Xiaojiu, how well-known he was!

Just now, their attention was all on Baili Xia, so they hadn’t associated him with Mr.

Xiaojiu.

As soon as someone brought it up, everyone knew.

This turned out to be the famous Mr.

Xiaojiu from Jin City, everyone’s Uncle!

No wonder, Baili Xia was calling him Uncle…
