Chapter 707: This Guy He's Lying Again!_1

Mu Xiaojiu had indeed invited her over to do some reading.

So, even though that drink was beginning to make Baili Xia’s head spin.

She still hurriedly rummaged through her backpack, planning to get her book out for a good read.

It would be nice if this rascal would just let her concentrate on her work and not bother her.

Even if it meant reading for an entire night, she was willing.

Of course, and that depended on whether she could manage to stay up the entire night.

Her sight was a bit foggy, but thankfully, she did not drink that much alcohol.

But just as she was about to retrieve her book from the backpack.

Mu Xiaojiu’s large hand had landed on her wrist, pulling it lightly and sliding her hand out from the backpack.

He then chucked her backpack to the side carelessly.

“Uncle.” Baili Xia jumped in fright and looked up at him.

Her attractive eyebrows furrowed instantly, and a touch of contempt flashed in her eyes.

She knew this guy was trying to trick her.

Reading?

It was nothing more than an excuse to get her over here and toy with her!

And he had the nerve to say it seriously!

She wondered if he’d find himself ridiculous when Ye Hua said it seriously.

Always lying, wasn’t he afraid of getting his comeuppance?

“What? You think I’m trying to trick you?”

Mu Xiaojiu arched an eyebrow, then, with a swift movement, he whisked her into his arms, holding her tight.

Baili Xia stumbled, lost her footing, and crashes into his chest.

The pressure on her breasts caused a burst of sharp pain, making her frown more intensely.

“Isn’t that the case?” she pouted and glared at him petulantly.

“Ye Hua said you wanted me to come over and read, so you should keep your word.”

Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Mu Xiaojiu laughed softly.

He finished the rest of the drink in one gulp before leading her to the reading desk.

“I did bring you here to read, when did I ever say I was tricking you? Expecting the worst of me.”

He took a seat and looked up at her, patting his lap invitingly.

Baili Xia glanced at his thigh and made a disgusted face.

Maybe it was the alcohol that gave her the courage to speak recklessly.

She managed to say things she wouldn’t normally dare to say.

“Having me sit on your lap again, thinking of touching me up and down. You still say you’re not trying to trick me!”

Mu Xiaojiu leaned back casually in his chair, watching her with a lazy smile.

His lips curling in a charming smile.

“It seems you know me pretty well. But, I genuinely want you to read, I’m not tricking you.”

Baili Xia cocked her head to look at him, unsure whether to believe him or not.

His patience seemed uncharacteristic tonight.

He once again patted his lap invitingly.

His hand came to rest on the chairback, as his deep-set eyes focused on her flushed face.

“Come on, let’s read together.”

Baili Xia made a face, still unconvinced that he would really keep her company while she read.

But she dared not disobey him, even though the alcohol had emboldened her, she wasn’t reckless beyond control.

She settled down on his lap, looking up at his firm jaw with a provocative glint in her eyes.

“Uncle, if you’re going to read with me, you have to take it seriously, otherwise you’re lying.”

“Fine, we’ll read together. Whoever isn’t taking it seriously, is the liar.”

Mu Xiaojiu seemed nonchalant, as he pushed open a nearby drawer.

Baili Xia found herself feeling a tad excited.

Uncle reading with her and insisting on doing it seriously, did he really have that much patience?
