Chapter 656: We Go Home!_1

Baili Xia hadn’t really put much thought into it, she just despised the unjust agreement.

As long as the agreement was in effect, she would always feel inferior.

To her, the agreement was like a contract of servitude, a perpetual source of shame.

The sparks in Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes faded slightly, this girl was always contemplating fleeing from him.

However, he made a promise that tonight he would let her speak freely, and he wouldn’t get angry.

Her honesty was definitely preferable over lying to him.

At least, while the agreement remains, they…

still have a while to spend together.

In fact, he himself wasn’t sure about what his future would be like.

Isn’t the current situation a form of happiness?

“Alright, as long as you work hard to earn the money, I’ll return the agreement to you.”

“Really?” Baili Xia’s eyes immediately ignited with excited brilliance.

He wasn’t as thrilled as she was and just nodded lightly: “Yes.”

Baili Xia took a deep breath, several deep breaths, before she could calm herself down.

Uncle never lies.

He always keeps his promise.

“I… I have more to say.” After an indefinite amount of time, she initiated conversation again.

“Speak.” Mu Xiaojiu, at this point, was starting to feel a little drained.

If she continues to express desire to run away from him, even he wasn’t sure if he could keep his temper in check.

“I…” Baili Xia grabbed his sleeve.

Looking at him, she was dead serious.

“I didn’t accept Jin’s proposal. I’m truly over him, Uncle, you must believe me.”

He didn’t speak, his face was devoid of any expression.

However, if one looked closely, there was a light that instantly ignited in the depths of his eyes.

She didn’t accept Dongfang Jin’s proposal, she didn’t accept!

Does this mean that she wouldn’t want to go back to that bastard, right?

She…

took the initiative to tell him that she would not go back to Dongfang Jin!

And he, because of her few simple words, was almost ready to howl in excitement!

“Uncle…”

Mu Xiaojiu abruptly pulled her into his arms and pressed her petite head against his chest, hiding his excited eyes from her.

A joyful smile gradually spread on his face.

At this moment, Mr.

Xiaojiu, a formidable figure in the business world, was laughing like an idiot because of a few words from this little creature!

“I… believe.” His voice sounded hoarse, but it was strong and clear.

So, this is what happiness feels like.

It’s that simple.

In a life that had been empty for more than two decades, he was tasting the flavor of happiness for the first time.

Suddenly, he picked up the girl and tossed her over his shoulder in one fell swoop.

“Ah! Uncle! What are you doing?”

Baili Xia, hanging upside down, screamed in surprise.

One moment she was peacefully sitting on the ground, the next moment she was being hoisted up.

Who wouldn’t be scared?

“Nothing.” Mu Xiaojiu also looked dazed as he hoisted her up and was about to walk away when he suddenly noticed that his car was just beside him.

Even the stupidest person would look smarter compared to Mr.

Xiaojiu at this moment.

Regaining his composure, Mr.

Xiaojiu gently placed Baili Xia back down and went to open the car door.

He was so excited that it took him two attempts to open the car door.

Baili Xia was bemused.

What on earth was he so excited about?

She had never seen Uncle act this silly before.

But he didn’t give her any chance to tease him.

He pulled her into the car with one swift movement.

“We… are going home!”
