Chapter 772: What do you want to do_1

Mu Lingchuan thought it was odd for Uncle to take a sudden interest in such mundane matters, He never seemed to care for these things before.

Despite this, he answered honestly: “Hmm, they should have a good relationship, that girl has been nice to Xiaxia.”

After a while, Mu Xiaojiu casually remarks, “Since they get along so well, have her visit the Mu family more to keep Xiaxia company.”

“Uncle…” Mu Lingchuan felt that Uncle had something on his mind that he wasn’t voicing.

But he also knew, if Uncle didn’t voluntarily share it, he wouldn’t reveal it no matter how much Lingchuan asked.

Just seeing Uncle in this state, why did it strangely cause a twinge of heartache?

“She has no friends here, so if her friend visits often, perhaps she will cheer up.”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say anything more, dropped these words, turned, and left.

Mu Lingchuan didn’t understand why, but tonight, Uncle’s back view seemed uniquely lonely.

Even though Uncle was used to being alone, why did he seem more melancholy tonight than ever before?

In any case, Uncle left with Ye Hua and kept his concerns to himself.

Having no choice, Mu Lingchuan sighed lightly before turning back to the hall.

Passing by Mu Xiaoyao’s room on the way up the stairs, he noticed his room door was slightly ajar.

The room was lit but there was no sign of life.

It seemed that Xiaoyao was indeed in Baili Xia’s room.

But what were they doing at this late hour?

Reading books in the dead of night?

It looked more like they were “dating” to him.

They can’t bear to part for even a moment, these two kids.

Are they trying to torture this single guy to death?

He smirked, shook his head, and headed to his room.

…

Indeed, Baili Xia and Mu Xiaoyao were together in the room.

Except at this moment, one of them stood there hands in his pockets.

The other, leaning against the window, faced away from him, with tears wetting her face.

“Go lock the door, from the inside.” Baili Xia’s hoarse voice slowly came.

“Do what?” Mu Xiaoyao glanced back at the tightly shut door.

“Just lock it!” she snapped, turning to glare at him, cheeks streaked with tears.

Mu Xiaoyao had never been ordered by a girl like this before, but…

alright, he conceded to her tears.

He walked over to the door and locked it from the inside, as she had requested.

When he turned back around, Baili Xia had already walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and tightly locked it.

She even drew the curtains shut.

Then, she walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, and with a click, turned off the only light in the room.

“What are you trying to do?” Mu Xiaoyao was a little startled.

Being in a room with a girl who locks the doors, the windows, and now, turns off the light?

But he quickly regained his composure, wondering why he was in a panic in that moment.

She’s just a young girl, she can’t possibly force him.

Can she?

Moreover, she’s Uncle’s woman, she couldn’t possibly have any designs on him.

“This isn’t right…” He sounded a bit helpless as he walked toward the light switch.

“Switch on the light, I dare you!” Baili Xia suddenly murmured.

A whimpering, pitiful voice echoed as she said, “If you dare turn on the light, I swear, I’ll bite you to death!”

“…” He withdrew his outstretched hand.

It wasn’t the threat of being bitten to death that deterred him, rather, he was afraid of her tears.

Just cry if you want to cry, why hold it back so desperately?

What’s the point?
