Chapter 631: The Critical Moment Has Arrived_1

Seeing Dongfang Jin endure his pain, Mu Xiaojiu felt somewhat satisfied.

He raised his brows in approval at Baili Xia.

Receiving this signal, Baili Xia finally relaxed, knowing she’d earned Uncle’s forgiveness.

Although, it seemed a bit cruel to Jin.

However, Jin was not as terrifying as Uncle.

Therefore, weighing the pros and cons, it was better to wrong Jin.

But, she didn’t want to be trapped between them, being bullied.

She turned and started to walk away, stating, “If you guys won’t come, it doesn’t matter.

I am leaving.”

“I said, I’ll go with you.” Dongfang Jin ignored Mu Xiaojiu and hurried to follow her.

Seeing them leave like this, Mu Xiaojiu felt a strange sense of loss.

This little creature seemed to be getting more and more out of control.

Had her reliance on Dongfang Jin made her more assertive?

If Baili Xia knew what he was thinking, she’d be on the verge of tears.

Who was the one being bullied every day?

Wasn’t it her?

Assertive, huh?

Assertive my foot!

Even if she had wings, Uncle would probably break them as soon as they sprouted!

Everyone was happy to see Mr.

Jin willing to join the fun.

But Mr.

Xiaojiu hadn’t agreed yet, so they swarmed him.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, you should come.

It will be fun to play together.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, I heard you’re a great swimmer.

I’d love to see.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…”

Everyone surrounded Mu Xiaojiu, endlessly flattering him, trying to convince him to go to the beach.

Initially, seeing Baili Xia and Dongfang Jin walk away, Mu Xiaojiu was fuming.

He wanted to follow them but felt it would damage his pride, especially after he had just explicitly stated he wouldn’t go.

Normally, he hated being surrounded by people.

But now, this situation offered him a graceful out.

“Since you’re keen for me to go, then it’s not a problem.”

He spoke lightly, glancing in Baili Xia’s direction, afraid she might see his slight embarrassment.

But, he could not hide anything.

Baili Xia saw it all.

She almost laughed.

Being a cool and aloof god wasn’t easy.

Having decided to play at the beach in the afternoon, they didn’t go back to the Mu Mansion for lunch.

Everyone ate at a local restaurant.

During the meal, the friendly rivalry between the two handsome men was inevitable.

They weren’t in a rush to get to the beach because the midday sun could be quite harsh.

If they got sunburned, it might damage their skin.

So, everyone first dispersed to shop for things they might need at the beach.

Only around three in the afternoon did they gather again and set off.

Upon reaching the beach, everyone changed into their swimsuits.

Those girls who weren’t comfortable with their bodies wore conservative styles, while those who were confident showed off in bikinis.

To make a good impression on the handsome guys, everyone knew they had to hide their flaws and highlight their assets.

Baili Xia had a good figure but she also chose a conservative one-piece.

Ning Anran, who had shopped with her, picked a similar style.

The two petty men didn’t want others to see her figure.

This time, they surprisingly agreed on something.

Mu Xiaojiu and Dongfang Jin didn’t change into swimming trunks, but wore T-shirts and beach shorts instead.

The girls were a bit disappointed, complaining, “Where’s the beefcake?”

But, it was alright if they couldn’t see the guys’ muscles.

This was their moment to show off.

The crucial moment was here.

Who could snag a wealthy husband depended on today’s turnout!
