Chapter 699: Afterwards Finding Miss Xiaxia was the Right Thing to Do_1

“As it turns out, he doesn’t like eating alone.

So, he wanted to meet Miss Xiaxia…

Mr.

Xiaojiu’s temperament really is difficult to read.

However, Ye Hua found that he was getting better at discerning his thoughts.

Whenever Mr.

Xiaojiu seemed displeased, calling Miss Xiaxia over was the right thing to do.

He knew what he had to do in the future.

Inviting Miss Xiaxia over for dinner was as simple as uttering a sentence, wasn’t it?

Why make it so complicated, by inviting Ning Anran first, then using that as a pretext to invite Miss Xiaxia…

When stepping out the door, Ye Hua couldn’t help but cough lightly.

He wanted to laugh, but did not dare to.

Is it really okay for Mr.

Xiaojiu to be so proud?

…

Ning Anran quickly appeared in Mu Xiaojiu’s line of sight.

He was reading the evening paper and did not bother with her.

Ning Anran nervously stood to the side, uncertain of where to sit.

It was not until the servant pulled a chair out for her, that she timidly sat down.

She sneakily raised her eyebrows, stealing a glance at Mu Xiaojiub.

But, he continued reading the newspaper, not even sparing her a single glance.

Another person at the dinner table and yet he did not even say hello.

Ning Anran did not know what to do.

“… Mr. Xiaojiu.” Eventually, she couldn’t help but call out to him softly.

She was a guest, after meeting the host, she should at least greet him.

Yet, Mu Xiaojiu continued to ignore her, his gaze remained on the newspaper, never leaving it.

Ning Anran grew more uneasy, unable to discern Mr.

Xiaojiu’s intentions.

But, remembering Mr.

Xiaojiu invited her for dinner, the joy in her heart quickly suppressed her unease.

She never thought Mr.

Xiaojiu would invite her, that he would want her to come over and have dinner with him.

He even asked Ye Hua to invite Xiaxia so that she would not feel uncomfortable here.

Mr.

Xiaojiu being so considerate was in contrast with his cold exterior.

Perhaps he was a warm-hearted person as well, just not good at expressing it…

Her heart was filled with happiness, yet she just sat silently by the side.

Not long after, Ye Hua returned, his expression not appearing too good.

Coming over to Mu Xiaojiu, he quietly said, “Mr. Xiaojiu, Miss Xiaxia hasn’t come back.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze darkened.

He put the newspaper aside and gave Ye Hua a perfunctory glance.

Ye Hua immediately panicked.

That glance was nonchalant, but the pressure it put on him was not small.

“I heard…

I heard she went to Mu Group to see the young master.”

“What is she doing at Mu Group?” Mu Xiaojiu’s face had no expression, his voice indifferent, devoid of warmth.

He had just returned from Mu group in the evening.

However, he hadn’t heard about this girl going there.

“I don’t know what she went to see the young master for?

His line was busy when I called just now.

I’ll try calling again.”

“No need.” Mu Xiaojiu put the newspaper down and coldly sneered, “Serve the dishes.”

“They’ve…

they’ve already been served.” Ye Hua ducked his head even lower, carefully reminding him.

Mu Xiaojiu grunted again, but this time it was noticeably colder.

Even Ning Anran at the side started trembling slightly due to fright.

Mr.

Xiaojiu seemed to be in a bad mood.

Was it because Xiaxia didn’t come?

She took a deep breath, mustered her courage to look at Mu Xiaojiu, and gently said..

“Mr. Xiaojiu, actually… actually, I feel fine here. Even if Xiaxia doesn’t join us, I won’t feel uncomfortable.”

Mu Xiaojiu gave her a cursory look, barely nodding in acknowledgement before ignoring her.
