Chapter 704: Will the Bruises on the Body be Seen_1

Uncle was such a flirt, always messing with her.

He claimed he only wanted her to read books, but Baili Xia didn’t believe him!

However, Ye Hua was urging her on, she couldn’t stall any longer.

Finally, she changed into a high-collar dress and inspected herself in the mirror for a while.

Only when she confirmed that all the bruises on her neck were hidden did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She walked to the door and opened it.

Ye Hua was still standing outside, waiting meticulously.

Baili Xia gave him a glance, bit her lower lip.

“Wait a moment, I’ll pack up the books.”

“Please bring more, Miss Xiaxia, preferably all the textbooks for tomorrow’s classes.”

Just as she was about to turn around to the desk, Baili Xia stopped.

She turned to glance at him, her eyes full of resentment.

So, did Ye Hua mean Uncle didn’t plan to let her go home tonight?

Should she have breakfast at Sihai Residence and go to school afterward?

“Mr.

Xiaojiu said that Miss Ning might get lonely at the Sihai Residence alone, Miss Xiaxia could go keep her company.”

“Okay.” This time, Baili Xia didn’t hesitate, packed up her books and followed him out.

As the two left the main house and walked towards Sihai Residence, Ye Hua hesitated, then said softly.

“Miss Xiaxia, Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t eat much tonight.

The kitchen prepared a late-night snack, but he didn’t want to.”

“Why?

Is Uncle unwell?

Is he sick?”

Baili Xia turned to look at him, his expression unclear in the dim light.

Ye Hua coughed lightly, he couldn’t possibly say that Mr.

Xiaojiu was too worried about her to eat.

He had to make up an excuse.

“Maybe he was just not in the mood when it was mealtime, so he didn’t eat much.”

“Well…” Baili Xia was still looking at him.

Ye Hua smiled and said, “Miss Xiaxia can persuade him to have some late-night snack later.”

“I understand.” She didn’t know why Uncle was in a bad mood.

However, since he skipped dinner, she didn’t want him to go hungry the whole night.

“I’ll join him for the late-night snack before going to An Ran’s place.”

Having happily decided that, she could avoid Uncle, without revealing anything to him.

As long as he didn’t remove her clothes, he wouldn’t see any bruises on her body.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hua’s next words shattered all her hope.

“Please understand, Miss Xiaxia. When I said you could accompany Miss Ning, I just didn’t want certain conversations to be overheard.”

Baili Xia bit her lip and glared at him.

Damn Ye Hua, why did he have to be so straightforward?

It would have been better if she could go accompany An Ran, wouldn’t that have been good?

Although, at this point, she wouldn’t know what to say to Ning Anran even if she saw her.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

She said, “I’ll go to An Ran’s place first, I have something to tell her.”

“Five minutes,” Ye Hua responded indifferently.

Baili Xia was about to rage, was Ye Hua threatening her now?

“Miss Xiaxia, please don’t misunderstand, it is not me who is threatening you, Mr.

Xiaojiu is waiting for you.”

“Fine, I won’t go.

I’ll tell her tomorrow.”

Baili Xia felt helpless, so she walked into the main hall of Sihai Residence with him.

Mu Xiaojiu was waiting for her in the room.

In order to persuade him to eat the late-night snack, Baili Xia personally brought the food upstairs.

Seeing her walk in with the food, Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze bypassed her and landed on Ye Hua behind her.

Ye Hua immediately straightened his back and said softly, “Mr. Xiaojiu, I have some work to do, I’ll leave first.”
