Chapter 650: Chapter 653_1

“Someone once said that when a woman starts trying to save face in front of a man, it means that she’s beginning to want a place in that man’s heart.”

Suddenly, he leaned in towards her.

Baili Xia was forced to lean back and his face was almost at her chest.

Baili Xia’s breathing became chaotic.

Her pretended calmness was instantly shattered by his approach.

“Who… who said that? That’s nonsense!”

She tried to compose herself, at least on the surface.

But she couldn’t!

Now, his face was at her chest, and his thin lips so close that her thoughts were beginning to confuse.

“Apparently, it was said by a relationship expert.” Seeing her panic, Mu Xiaojiu laughed.

This panicked little appearance completely pleased him.

Though clearly terrified, she continued attempting to maintain her calm in front of him.

This little creature, needed a lesson.

He curled his lips, revealing an intoxicating smile.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and bit down on her.

“Ah!” Baili Xia was so frightened that her body softened, she immediately thought about pushing him away.

However, she didn’t dare to push him in his current state.

If she pushed, would he not bite down harder?

“No…

Uncle, don’t!

Uncle…”

“Don’t what?” His face buried down, unwilling to pull away, unwilling to let her go.

“Uncle…” She gasped for air, chest rising and falling.

“Stop it!” Baili Xia pushed at Mu Xiaojiu’s hand, interrupting his phone call.

Even Mu Xiaojiu didn’t expect that he would go this far.

He hid his phone from her, looking at her panicked and indignant eyes, he calmed slightly.

Yet seeing her stubborn look, he became dissatisfied.

Why did he always lose control?

Why couldn’t she lose control for him occasionally?

No, it seemed she had lost control because of him once…

But, hasn’t it been just that one time?

Mu Xiaojiu felt somewhat unfair.

Suddenly, a familiar ringtone sounded, shattering the silent atmosphere in the car.

The ringtone… the weight on her body…

Baili Xia slightly opened her eyes, in her field of vision, the man picked up his phone, hung up the call, and casually tossed it aside.

His large hand cupped her ankle once again…

A perfectly decent girl, terrified by his past actions.

“Little girl…” Mu Xiaojiu’s voice was faintly hoarse.

Looking at Baili Xia huddled in the corner, he had a complicated look on his face.

A bit of annoyance, a bit of regret, but most of all, pity.

Clearly, she had just let herself go, but she awoke because of her fear.

How much damage had the fear from back then caused her?

“Uncle…” Baili Xia raised her head.

She thought he would continue smoking, but to her surprise, he crushed the cigarette with his thumb and tossed the butt onto the ground.

“Uncle!” Baili Xia was startled, she immediately picked up his hand to examine his thumb.

He snuffed out the cigarette with his fingers, wouldn’t that hurt!?

But, he definitely used his thumb to put out the cigarette.

Yet looking at his thumb now, there was only a little bit of ash, and nothing else.

No blister that she feared to see, not even a hint of redness from a burn.

“Thick skin, thick flesh, what’s there to worry about?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s initially low mood was lightened quite a bit by her concern for him.

He reached out, pulled her into his arms, and held her tightly.

This time, Baili Xia did not resist.

She leaned into his arms, allowing him to hold her firmly.

Mu Xiaojiu leaned in, resting his chin on the crown of her head.

The rhythm of her heartbeat gradually became clearer.
