Chapter 742: A Little Trust Can Bring Peace of Mind_1

“Indeed, only a few people are eligible to see it. Of course, you’ve seen it already. If this gets out, you would also be implicated.”

The tone of Mu Xiaojiu’s words was steady and magnetic.

Although his tone was light, there wasn’t a hint of playfulness in it.

Besides, Uncle rarely jokes.

So, the agreement in these documents…

“Is it… really important, very… confidential?” Her beautiful eyes blinked slightly.

She looked at him, but still uncertain.

“Very confidential.” Mu Xiaojiu nodded, giving her a firm answer.

Before Baili Xia could scream again, the corners of his lips twitched up slightly, and he spoke casually.

“If there’s a leakage, I would try to push the responsibility onto the other company.

So, are you bold enough to look now?”

“But what if…” What if it wasn’t their fault?

“I can’t let them investigate my little creature, so they would just have to be unlucky.”

Mu Xiaojiu spoke lightly, yet his words were definite.

If anything happened, he would never suspect her.

If they couldn’t find the cause, in order to protect her, they would just have to be “unlucky”…

Uncle…

Is it okay to be so protective?

Especially when the one being protected is her…

“Really?” She asked in a daze.

“If you don’t look, I’ll have to spend additional time to check. I’m very busy.”

Busy with work, busy dealing with many matters, and …

busy teasing her.

Therefore, do not add to his burden anymore.

Baili Xia picked up the document again, glanced at him, and then lowered her head to start reading quietly.

She hadn’t expected that Uncle would trust her so much to let her check such important documents.

Sometimes, a little bit of trust is all you need to put someone at ease.

Yet, they never express it.

If one doesn’t pay close attention and actively discover it, perhaps, they will never realize it even till death.

Maybe she was moved by Mu Xiaojiu’s trust, but Baili Xia started checking the documents very carefully.

Soon, she finished checking the first agreement.

She even voluntarily checked the other documents on Mu Xiaojiu’s desk.

However, not every document was that important.

Some had been checked by his assistant.

As she was free, this was a good learning opportunity.

Mu Xiaojiu held her in his arms all along.

Occasionally, he would gently squeeze her soft waist.

But ultimately, both of them were concentrating on their work.

The atmosphere in the office was harmonious beyond words.

A tall man, holding a petite girl sitting on his lap.

Like father and daughter, like lovers.

Regardless of their relationship, the scene was absolutely beautiful.

The cool autumn day, full of blissful peace.

At half-past three, a call came from his secretary.

A meeting was scheduled and Mr.

Xiaojiu was invited.

Only then did Baili Xia realize that Uncle did not participate in every meeting.

Just like today, Mu Lingchuan went over at two o’clock and went downstairs to the conference room.

Only now, an hour later, was Uncle invited to join.

It seemed that this meeting was also in Mu Xiaojiu’s plan.

Hence, he lifted Baili Xia and let her sit on his office chair.

He then stood up, took his notebook and left.

Before leaving, he pointed to the notebook on the side: “Take a break if you’re tired.

The password is my initials.”

“Okay,” Baili Xia nodded, but after watching him leave, she didn’t open the notebook to play.

Instead, she pulled out another document from the stack on the desk and began to read it carefully.
