Chapter 701: As Greedy as a Cat_1

“First promise me you won’t tell Uncle about this.”

What’s all this about silence at meals, when he never shuts up?

Mu Lingchuan ignored her, she had repeated this so many times in front of him.

“Big Brother,” Baili Xia pleaded with him, her face a mask of despair.

“Please help me, Big Brother.

You know Uncle is volatile.

If he finds out, he would definitely kill me.”

“Uncle is not as terrifying as you make him out to be.

Don’t slander him.”

Mu Lingchuan glanced at her, pushing the plate of tender beef in front of her.

Baili Xia immediately picked up two pieces, chewed them vigorously, and swallowed before turning her attention back to him.

Before she began to plead again, Mu Lingchuan interrupted her.

“You don’t even let me eat in peace, what help could I offer?

Let me eat well first.”

“So, does that mean you agree?” Baili Xia’s eyes immediately lit up with joy.

Mu Lingchuan grunted, ignoring her and continued eating.

Baili Xia did not dare to stop him, she just started to eat as well.

After some time, the server cleared their plates and replaced them with desserts and drinks.

Baili Xia had meant to plead with Mu Lingchuan, but after one taste of the dessert, she was hooked.

“The food at Mu Group is amazing. I’ll check in every day and save on a meal.”

Having dessert after dinner in her favorite flavor was an unexpected treat.

Seeing her devour the dessert, Mu Lingchuan pushed his own in front of her.

“Aren’t you going to eat?” Baili Xia asked, even though she was greedily eyeing his portion.

Otherwise, people would say that she was as greedy as a cat.

But to Mu Lingchuan, she did indeed looked like a cat that was eager to pounce on food.

Without responding, he picked up his cup, tasted the warm coffee, and ignored her.

Baili Xia smiled sweetly at him, picked up her spoon and resumed eating.

Before long, the plate was empty.

Only after wiping her mouth with a napkin and looking at Mu Lingchuan, did she summon a mournful expression.

“Big Brother, does that mean you’ve agreed?”

“First, tell me why you’re so desperate to make money.”

Mu Lingchuan put down the coffee cup and looked at her.

“Give me a satisfactory answer and I might consider not saying anything in front of Uncle.”

Baili Xia blinked her big bright eyes, stumped on how to explain.

She could hardly tell him that she needed to repay the money from the agreement.

Once she does, he would surely want to know about the agreement and she couldn’t possibly reveal the details.

If he found out that she was Uncle’s contracted lover, she couldn’t imagine the trouble it would cause.

“Can I not say it?” she asked quietly.

“Then don’t ask me for help.” Mu Lingchuan picked up his coffee again.

Baili Xia bit her lower lip and watched him drink his coffee, at a loss for words.

It was not until Mu Lingchuan finished his coffee that she seemed to remember something and asked abruptly.

“Big Brother, does the troupe need any action actors?

I may be able to recommend someone.”

“Looking to snatch even the roles of action actors?”

Mu Lingchuan looked at her, “With your frailty, what can you possibly perform?”

“Stop looking down on others all the time.”

Baili Xia glared at him, really detesting his arrogance.

Always looking down on people, one day she will definitely prove him wrong!
