Chapter 769: Does He Really Not Care Monthly Ticket Plus_1

Mu Xiaojiu’s words thoroughly stunned many people in an instant.

Naturally, the most shocked among them was Baili Xia.

Planning, her uncle used the word ‘planning.’ Did this mean she had no room to argue?

But why should he dictate her life with his ‘plans’?

This matter had not been mentioned for a while; she thought it had been forgotten.

She also assumed everyone else was just talking and that it would eventually fade away into nothingness.

But to her surprise, her uncle had been harboring the idea and planned on getting her engaged with Xiaoyao all along.

Engagement, did he even understand what that meant?

“So Jiu also has this idea. That’s good, it’s exactly what I, as an old man, like.”

Sir Mu burst out laughing after a moment’s daze.

“In that case, we should carefully pick a date.

No, even before the engagement party, I need to host a banquet to inform the Eight Big Families.”

“Grandpa…” Baili Xia’s lips trembled as she turned to look at him, her fingers clutching the sofa edge unconsciously tightening.

“Don’t panic, don’t be shy. I’m here. I will help you with all of this. You just have to put on a pretty dress and stand beside Xiaoyao. He will accompany you.”

The old man looked genuinely happy, a joyful smile spreading across his face.

Baili Xia’s face, however, had noticeably whitened.

But Sir Mu was busy talking to Mu Xiaojiu, and didn’t notice it.

However, Mu Lingchuan and Mu Xiaoyao, who were sitting opposite her, could see her face turning pale clearly.

Mu Xiaoyao did not say anything, he simply listened quietly, crossing his long legs casually.

It was as if everything they discussed had nothing to do with him; all he had to do was to obey.

Mu Lingchuan, on the other hand, was puzzled by Baili Xia’s reaction.

Did she seem unwilling to marry Xiaoyao?

Was she worried about her age, and how it would affect her reputation in school?

After contemplating for a bit, a smile curled up on Mu Lingchuan’s mouth.

He reassured Baili Xia, “Our Eight Big Families have always had this tradition.

Girls can usually get engaged when they are 18 or 19.”

“Moreover, many of the marriages are decided before the age of 18 and the actual ceremony takes place once they reach the legal age of marriage.”

“You don’t need to be shy.

Everyone is used to it.”

Thinking that Baili Xia was worried about these things, he continued to explain to her.

“In the Eight Big Families, it’s no big deal.

Ziying and Ziqing haven’t settled their marriage affairs yet because they haven’t found a great man like Xiaoyao.”

“But it’s different for you.

Haven’t you found the right person?”

Mu Xiaoyao remained indifferent, as if he didn’t care about the discussion.

He didn’t utter a word, seemingly indifferent to the entire conversation.

His lack of refusal was perceived as acceptance.

As long as it was Uncle’s command, he would do as he was told.

Despite this, Baili Xia’s face was still pale and showed no signs of improvement.

Mu Lingchuan cleared his throat, trying to lighten the mood with a chuckle.

“Why be shy? We’re adults, not children. Besides, since you’ve already slept together, isn’t marriage the obvious next step? It’s just happening a bit earlier than expected.”

Baili Xia’s fingers holding the edge of the sofa tightened even more.

We’ve already slept together… So, in the eyes of everyone, her relationship with Brother had already reached that point.

What about Uncle?

Does he also think the same way?

Is that why he doesn’t care at all?
