Chapter 816

She smiled, but at the moment when she cast her eyes downwards, the sadness that inadvertently appeared was forcefully hidden.

“Now, aren’t we just punishing?

Uncle, how could I naively think that you wouldn’t punish me?”

“You…”

“I’m just telling the truth.” She leaned in closer, this time not resisting at all, even going so far as to voluntarily grab his neck.

People, when they are almost in despair, begin to understand the principle of pulling the firewood from under the pot.

Not caring about anything might be the only way to prevent oneself from losing utterly.

She cared about Zimo and Xiaoxiao and couldn’t help it; therefore, she could only not care about her own body.

“Uncle, if you want my body to only ever belong to you, then you better… take good care of them,” she smiled.

“Are you threatening me?” Mu Xiaojiu couldn’t calm down.

When had his little creature become so…

uncontrollable?

He thought he had always controlled her well, believed that he was forever the one in charge.

He dictated when she had to cry and when she must laugh.

But now, when he wanted to scare her into crying and begging for his mercy, she unexpectedly…

hugged him with a smile!

What did she really mean?

Just a young girl, and yet he couldn’t see through her!

“Don’t think that you can threaten me, I will never…!”

All his words stopped the moment her thin lips pressed against his.

Her faint fragrance suddenly overwhelmed his senses, and even though he had been furious just moments ago, her unexpected move completely cooled him down.

His breathing became erratic, beyond his own control.

Baili Xia finally relaxed completely.

With his breath scattered, her tense heart finally loosened.

It turned out this was the best way to deal with him.

Don’t argue, don’t sulk, don’t fight him.

As long as he no longer used Zimo and Xiaoxiao to threaten her, even if it’s still hard, it didn’t matter anymore.

Baili Xia slightly tilted her head back, closing her eyes.

Tears filled her eyes, tears of humiliation, this time initiated by her.

But if tears serve no purpose, what use is there in letting them fall?

Mr.

Xiaojiu also wasn’t entirely without weaknesses.

The car hesitated briefly twice, signals from Ye Hua that they were almost there.

Just like last time, they should arrive in less than ten minutes.

This time they were heading first to the seaside market, having agreed to go buy seafood together.

The bit of information from Ye Hua narrowly pulled Mu Xiaojiu back to his senses.

He was gasping for air, breathing heavily, unable to relax.

She still thought he would be reckless.

If he really tormented her harshly, maybe then she could completely give up.

But now, his extremely restrained painful expression inexplicably softened her heart a little.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and almost wanted to laugh at her own foolishness.

What was she softening for?

A man who could threaten her with the lives of Zimo and Xiaoxiao, why should she soften?

Mu Xiaojiu was still holding her tightly, trying hard to steady his chaotic breath.

He had never imagined that when she initiated, the impact on him would be this great, especially in his furious state.

Mr.

Xiaojiu, known for his composure and calm, was having his self-control crumble to this extent in front of this young girl!
