Chapter 78: My people play however you want 02_1

In the Sihai Residence, it wasn’t Baili Xia’s first visit, but it was her first time truly stepping into the main hall.

Of course, she didn’t have many opportunities to stay in the hall and appreciate Uncle’s interior design style.

Mu Xiaojiu took her directly upstairs, and the bedroom door was slammed shut, the sound of the closing door resonating with her pounding heartbeat.

“Uncle…” Baili Xia watched as Mu Xiaojiu moved to the side and took out a box of cigarettes.

She nervously fiddled with her fingers, still feeling on edge.

On the way home, he hadn’t spoken a single word, his face set in a grim expression all the while, silent.

The more silent he got, the more frantic she became.

Although they hadn’t known each other for a long time, she hadn’t seen him like this since the day he kicked down the door.

This time, it felt even more terrifying.

A bursting anger wasn’t real anger.

True anger was the explosion after being bottled up for a long time.

It now felt eerily calm, like the silence before a storm.

“Uncle…”

“Go lie on the bed.” He didn’t look at her, striking a match and lighting a cigarette without a word.

The sparks cast an eerie flicker on his exceptionally beautiful face, his invulnerable aura becoming even more evident.

Go lie on the bed…

Baili Xia’s face turned paler, drained of all color.

He was really going to punish her!

“Uncle, Mu Lingchuan and I have no relation.”

She knew that if she didn’t explain now, once he began punishing her, she wouldn’t have the chance to anymore.

“Uncle, I really…”

“Shut up!” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t give her a chance to speak, “Go lie down!”

Baili Xia was startled by his frosty words.

Without thinking, she already subconsciously sat down on the bed.

But it was all a misunderstanding!

“Uncle, I really…”

“Seems like, you can’t wait any longer.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes darkened as he extinguished the cigarette with his fingertips, tossing the butt into a nearby trash bin.

He turned around and approached her, his gaze colder than ever.

Uncle was truly angry this time.

Was it because she hugged Mu Lingchuan of her own accord?

She could explain that, she was just legitimately afraid of thunder.

That fear wasn’t something the average person would understand, she didn’t know why she was so scared either.

Despite so many years, she was still fearful, as if her life depended on it.

But why wouldn’t Uncle let her explain even a single sentence?

Had he already decided that she was flirtatious, teasing men wherever she went?

As Mu Xiaojiu approached, Baili Xia’s panic truly set in, but her indignation continued to build as well.

What right did he have?

Why does she always have to obey him?

Why is he always bullying her this way!

“That look in your eyes, are you trying to tell me that you’re angry now?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s dark starry eyes slightly squinted, beneath them a hint of danger looming.

Never before had anyone provoked him to such anger, and certainly, no one had ever escaped unscathed after upsetting him.

Did this little creature overestimate herself, thinking he wouldn’t dare to touch her?

Baili Xia was also agitated.

Even if he was very domineering, and even if everyone was afraid of him and obeyed him, he had no right to be unreasonable.

Couldn’t he at least listen to her explanation?

Why should she be like others, obeying his every command?

“You were the one who said, you won’t confine my heart, and I can like whoever I want to, and you have no right to intervene.”

Because she was stubborn, she boldly talked back without fear of death.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze became even colder and deeper, his voice was like it was squeezed from between his teeth, “So are you saying that you truly love Mu Lingchuan?”
