76: Chapter 76: Uncle, Don’t!

(38)_1 “Mu Lingchuan, what are you doing?”

Baili Xia pounded her fists against Mu Lingchuan’s chest, but this man simply wouldn’t let go.

“If you can’t keep your hands off a man, why shouldn’t I satisfy you?”

Mu Lingchuan judged her as a fickle woman.

The thought of either himself or Xiaoyao ending up as a cuckold infuriated him.

He, the prestigious Mr.

Mu Lingchuan, was going to marry such an ill-intentioned woman, and it was infuriating!

Regardless of all his glory, he still understood the value of self-respect, but her, this woman, she was so promiscuous!

This fact infuriated him even more!

However, once he confined her in his arms, he just couldn’t let go.

It wasn’t out of pity, but because his feelings toward this girl were nothing but disgust.

He wasn’t drawn to her in the slightest, so how can he be intimate with her?

This filthy woman, she was dirty from head to toe, he didn’t want to touch her and dirty himself!

Baili Xia also knew that this man was utterly repulsed by her.

But just because he loathed her, did that mean he could not let go?

If someone saw them like this, what would they do?

As the two quarreled, whether it was due to their bodies generating friction, the atmosphere slowly started to heat up.

He inadvertently leaned in closer, pressing right into her abdomen…

“Br…Brother?” Baili Xia was taken aback for a moment, and after half a second, her face completely reddened.

He… He clearly loathed her, but his body had reacted to her…

No wonder people say, men are creatures that think with their lower half!

He despised her, yet he was still entertaining wicked thoughts about her!

Mu Lingchuan didn’t quite know how to explain to her that he didn’t mean for this to happen.

But why on earth should he explain anything to a woman like her!

Seeing the alarm in her eyes, he found that his mood had surprisingly improved.

When she panicked, he felt elated.

“What’s wrong?

Scared now?

You…”

All of a sudden, a streak of lightning flashed above them, followed by the roaring thunder.

“Ah!” Baili Xia helplessly shrieked.

She would never, ever forget the dreadful times when her uncle would tie her up underneath a tree as punishment.

During such a storm, amidst the heavy rain and thunder, her uncle would tell her, disobedient children were struck by lightning!

She was tied down under the tree, at high risk of being hit by lightning!

She didn’t want to die!

But she was tied up the entire night!

The shadow of death loomed over her, amplifying her fear to its peak.

Another brilliant flash of lightning, more terrifying than the last.

Baili Xia screamed out, instinctively finding shelter in Mu Lingchuan’s arms.

Mu Lingchuan lowered his gaze to observe the girl hiding in his embrace, her face instantly paling, leaving him unknowing of whether to push her away.

She…was indeed terrified, her pallor gave her away.

Her face was as white as a sheet of paper now.

Another streak of lightning and an unexpected reaction from Mu Lingchuan who out of the blue opened his arms and hugged Baili Xia, who was recoiling into his hold in fright.

This girl…

was she traumatized by lighting?

Perhaps an unpleasant memory from her past had turned into a fear?

“Xiaxia…”

“Ah!” His voice was completely drowned out by the thunder and her screams.

Baili Xia tightened her grip around his neck, not really grasping who the person before her was, only aware that she was terrified.

She didn’t want to be struck by lightning!

She didn’t want to die!

She was scared!

“Xiaxia, it’s okay, don’t be scared.” Mu Lingchuan didn’t understand what came over him but seeing her so fragile, surprisingly sparked a feeling of compassion in him.

He was supposed to despise her then why… why did the compassion suddenly emerge?

As the two held each other tightly, suddenly there came a deep, ice-cold voice: “What are you doing?”
