Chapter 60: Uncle Don't!

Baili Xia had no idea what was going on in Mu Xiaojiu’s mind.

Not to mention her, even the old man sitting next to Mu Xiaojiu couldn’t notice his lapse in concentration.

He seemed so seriously cool and aloof, who could have thought that in his mind, he had already pushed Baili Xia against the stair railing, lifting her skirt…

It wasn’t until she faintly felt that burning gaze on her chest that Baili Xia realized something.

She cast a shy and angry glance at him, but Mu Xiaojiu had already looked away.

She wasn’t certain if it was just her imagination playing tricks, but she had a constant feeling that Uncle has undressed her with his eyes.

That bastard, he appears cold and serious, but deep down he’s quite a character!

What’s more frustrating is that after several rounds of exhaustion last night, while she could barely stand, he looked lively and well, showing no signs of fatigue from the previous night.

Accompanied by Mu Ziying, Baili Xia endured the pain in her legs and approached Mu Zhentian with forced laughter, calling out, “Grandpa.”

Then she greeted all the elders one by one.

Finally, her gaze landed on Mu Xiaojiu and she obediently said: “Uncle.”

“You look a little pale, did you have trouble sleeping because you’re not used to the bed?” Mu Xiaojiu stood up and, under the watchful eyes of everyone, pulled her into his arms.

With a tone of affection that made all the women’s hearts shatter, he said: “If you can’t sleep, you can move to Sihai Residence tonight, it’s quiet at Uncle’s place.”

“No!” Aware that she had rejected him too quickly, Baili Xia forced out a small smile and whispered: “I’m good here, Uncle doesn’t need to worry.”

As her long eyelashes fell, she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Mu Xiaojiu.

Who’s fault was it that she didn’t sleep well last night?

And now he’s suggesting she move to Sihai Residence.

If she really moved there, she would surely be dead on her feet every night.

But would not moving there really mean she would be safe?

Why did she still feel so endangered?

No way, she would have to lock the windows tight when she went to bed tonight!

“Remember to open the windows when you sleep, it’s good for your health,” Mu Xiaojiu’s long fingers brushed over her face, “Remember Uncle’s words, otherwise Uncle will be unhappy, understand?”

Baili Xia bit her lip, resisting the urge to kick him away, and nodded with forced cheerfulness.

Threatening her!

Devil!

Big devil!

Bastard!

Mu Xiaojiu ignored her and went to the side hall with the old man.

Finally, Baili Xia came down to have breakfast.

As everyone moved to the side hall, it was Mu Lingchuan who found it hard not to look at Baili Xia one more time before leaving.

Could it be just his imagination or did he see Baili Xia roll her eyes at Uncle?

How could this girl, who no one could tell what she was thinking, roll her eyes at Uncle, the dream lover of all girls?

Perhaps he had seen wrongly, how could that be possible?

When Mu Ziqing left, she also sneaked a glance at Baili Xia, nothing but disdain in her eyes.

What’s so great about this greenhorn?

Uncle even took the initiative to invite her to live at Sihai Residence to make sure she gets good sleep!

Why does Uncle spoil her so much?

She’s not even Uncle’s biological niece!

Uncle has been acting strange these past few days, what does he like about Baili Xia?

Her pretend obedience?

She can also be very well-behaved, why won’t Uncle look at her more?
