Chapter 587: Chapter 590_1

His gaze made it very easy for anyone to let their imagination run wild…

it wasn’t just that Baili Xia was overthinking.

“Uncle, don’t, my classmate… my classmate is here.”

Baili Xia looked at Ning Anran, her face flushed after speaking.

Under Ning Anran’s watchful eye, she was being pulled around by Uncle.

Perhaps he would even lead her to do those embarrassing things.

She felt so awkward that she desperately wanted to disappear into a crack.

Mu Xiaojiu paused, hmm…

if the little girl didn’t speak up, he would really forget about Ning Anran’s presence.

“Go and deal with Ye Hua, sort out the unveiling ceremony for the school sports ground.”

He instructed Ning Anran curtly with a hint of impatience in his voice.

After he finished speaking, he took Baili Xia by the hand and walked towards the dormitory in big strides.

Baili Xia wanted to refuse, but it was too late.

Held by Uncle and walking, if she didn’t keep up now, he would surely pick her up and just carry her away!

But, to the dormitory…

what is he planning to do?

But, to the dormitory…

what is he planning to do?

Ning Anran was so shocked that her brain short-circuited.

The sight of Mr.

Xiaojiu leading Xiaxia out and back towards the dormitory was overwhelming.

Looking at Baili Xia’s demeanor, the atmosphere between the two held an indefinable weirdness.

Like…

there’s some kind of…

secret?

But how could this be?

Xiaxia said, weren’t they just uncle and niece?

During her time with Shengyi, she once questioned their relationship.

Later, Xiaxia said it was because Mr.

Xiaojiu knew she was the person the old man was looking for.

After that, she had no further suspicions.

But now…

thinking about what they were about to do in the dormitory.

Ning Anran’s face flushed hotly.

It shouldn’t…

be that…

right?

“Miss Ning, let’s go. We have to prepare for the ribbon cutting ceremony.”

Ye Hua came over to Ning Anran and called her back from her wandering thoughts.

“Oh, alright… What? What ribbon cutting?” Ning Anran, just coming back to her senses, was still confused.

“It’s the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new school sports ground. Mr. Xiaojiu is here for this.” Ye Hua explained.

Turns out, Mr.

Xiaojiu had come to Imperial College for this reason.

Ning Anran hadn’t expected that this event could draw Mr.

Xiaojiu here.

As Ye Hua walked with Ning Anran, he explained the proceedings for the event.

But Ning Anran was still confused.

Just for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, did Mr.

Xiaojiu…

really need to come?

Why did she always feel that Mr.

Xiaojiu’s presence here was not just because of this?

Could it even be said that, perhaps, this wasn’t one of the reasons at all?

Was Mr.

Xiaojiu…

here for Xiaxia?

…

In the dormitory.

Mu Xiaojiu sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard, his eyes fixed on Baili Xia who was sitting on him.

Seeing her somewhat shy and panicked appearance, his nerves were constantly being stimulated.

Baili Xia was feeling helpless, it seemed that lately, Uncle had been demanding this from her every time.

But her resistance meant nothing to him.

She couldn’t resist, and didn’t have the right to.

“Afraid?” Mu Xiaojiu raised his eyebrows.

“…Afraid.” She finally told him the truth.

He had said it, she should not lie in front of him.

Gathering her courage, she raised her head to look at the man, her voice was faint.

“Uncle, you’ve dirty your clothes, why don’t I…”

He only grunted.

Afraid?

Did she think he was going to eat her up?
