Chapter 593: I am Now Doing the 'Right Thing'_1

I wondered whether he was pleased with the tie, or maybe, he was satisfied with this little creature.

Either way, Mr.

Xiaojiu was in a good mood, and anyone could see that.

The phone rang suddenly, someone was calling Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t pick it up until the phone was about to disconnect by itself.

Once the person on the other end finished explaining, he simply said, “Have them wait.”

With a single, cold statement, he hung up and casually threw the phone onto the table.

Uncle was always so cold and ruthless, no matter who, no matter what, if Uncle didn’t want to go, they would have to wait.

Baili Xia felt a bit helpless; against this domineering and cold man, she was powerless.

Probably, those under his hand had the same idea as her.

Suddenly, Baili Xia jolted back to her senses.

The ribbon-cutting event for the new stadium…

The call must have been from Ye Hua, was he calling about that?

She finally remembered that she had asked Uncle what he was doing there today.

Uncle had said he was there for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new stadium.

Only, she was so nervous at that time; she didn’t pay it any mind.

She had been skipping classes a lot lately, and she was not particularly interested in school events.

Therefore, she had no interest in who was attending this ribbon-cutting ceremony.

She quickly got up and grabbed her phone to check the time.

Ten o’clock!

She was going to lose her mind.

She had been in her dorm for so long, it was already ten o’clock!

She had seen the schedule for the ribbon-cutting event earlier, it was supposed to start at half past nine in the morning.

But now it was already an hour past the start time, Ye Hua must have been desperate to dare to call Uncle.

A ceremony of such magnitude was being held, and she and Uncle were just idly wasting time here.

She felt like she was going mad.

If people found out, she would be drowned in criticism at school.

With that thought, she quickly headed towards the bathroom to freshen up.

But before she could even step, her hand was seized by that cold man.

The man stared at her flushed little face, his eyes darkening once more.

“Uncle, they are all waiting,” Baili Xia hastily spoke out, rendered speechless by this man.

She was getting impatient, while he was still thoroughly undisturbed.

“Let them wait.” Similar words, but the temperature was scorchingly opposite.

The difference between the coldness when he spoke to Ye Hua and now was as vast as heaven and earth.

“Uncle, please, everyone is waiting for you.”

Baili Xia was almost begging him, truly terrified.

For Uncle to keep everyone waiting just to stay with her, wouldn’t she become a ruinous femme fatale like in ancient times?

But she was unwilling to shoulder that blame.

“Uncle, let’s handle our duties first.”

“This is the duty.” Hugging her, kissing her, was more legitimate than anything else.

What kind of duty could this be?

If these were life’s duties, there would be no need to live this life.

Baili Xia mused grumblingly, but she dared not provoke him further.

If Uncle were provoked, she’d have no way to escape.

“Uncle, I put a lot of effort into making your tie.”

A thought struck her, and she immediately changed her approach.

“Hmm?” Mu Xiaojiu lifted his eyebrow, directing his eyes to her gleaming ones.

Baili Xia puckered her lips, whispering, “I made it so beautiful, if we don’t go out and let others see, won’t it be wasted?”
