Chapter 601: Engagement Is it a Done Deal_1

“Is Mr. Xiaojiu taking advantage of the younger generation here?” A cold voice instantly echoed from Dongfang Jin’s mouth.

Dongfang Jin directed his words at Mu Xiaojiu, but his eyes were fixated on Baili Xia.

A mix of icy words and a gentle gaze, his attitude was indeed quite contrasting.

“Since when did you start meddling in the matters of the Mu family’s young ones?”

Mu Xiaojiu seemed to undergo a transformation every time he met Dongfang Jin.

Of course, the same applied to Dongfang Jin.

“Even if she belongs to the Mu family, as my girlfriend, it’s my right to care for her.”

Dongfang Jin was unapologetically straight forward, in mid-sentence, his hand reaching out to touch Baili Xia’s shoulder.

“Ah, Mr. Jin, please watch your words.”

Seeing Dongfang Jin leaning over, Baili Xia quickly moved to the side.

Even though she was currently feeling discontent towards her uncle, she didn’t dare to provoke his anger.

Every time Dongfang Jin announced that she was his girlfriend, she could feel her uncle’s murderous gaze piercing her.

But, she couldn’t control what others say, could she?

However, her Uncle never bothers to rationalize things with her.

Once she angers him, regardless of the reason, she would be the one to suffer.

After dodging Dongfang Jin’s hand, Baili Xia turned around, only to find someone nodding at her in satisfaction.

She was speechless at this person’s extreme shift in behavior.

One second he was brimming with murderous intent, the next second he was expressing approval.

This uncle of hers was really too domineering!

“I am not your girlfriend, Mr. Jin, I hope you refrain from making such jokes in the future.”

Helplessly, she could only look at Dongfang Jin, managing a faint smile.

Dongfang Jin’s gaze stayed transfixed on her.

His expression didn’t show anger despite her declaration in front of so many people.

Half genuine, half playful, “You promised, when we grew up, you’d be my girlfriend. Now, you are all grown up.”

Eighteen years old, indeed, she was all grown up.

“Mr. Jin…” Baili Xia was kind of at a loss for words.

She did make that promise back then.

But that was before Lu Xuening came into the picture.

Plus, there were all sorts of misunderstandings that followed.

Does the promise she made back then still count?

All that is in the past, there’s no point in bringing it up now.

Stop looking at her with those earnest eyes, she…

might get scared!

However, the words that came from Mu Xiaojiu shocked them all.

“She’s about to get engaged to Xiaoyao. From here on, refrain from making inappropriate comments.”

Mu Xiaojiu stared coldly at Dongfang Jin.

What?

Engaged to Mu Xiaoyao?

Dongfang Jin’s heart trembled harshly, his eyes fixed on Baili Xia’s face.

“Xiaxia, is what he just said…true?”

Ning Anran, who was standing to the side, was struck with astonishment, her mouth wide open.

Looking at Baili Xia in disbelief.

However, Baili Xia didn’t say anything, and she didn’t want to either.

Getting engaged to her elder brother was not something she wanted or had agreed to.

But now, hearing the words coming out of uncle’s mouth creates a rather uncomfortable sensation.

She was entirely in her uncle’s control.

The man who possessed her was pushing her onto someone else.

More than that, he was disclosing this matter in front of others.

Even if it was to aggravate Dongfang Jin, despite it possibly being a measure to dampen his spirits.

But once these words were out, wouldn’t it make everything too official?

Did Uncle truly decide to engage her to her elder brother?
