Chapter 821: Tonight He is in a Bad Mood

Baili Xia also grilled some little creature, placed it on a plate, and handed them one by one to Mu Xiaoyao to accompany his drink.

The interaction between the two of them appeared very warm.

Mu Ziying started mumbling again, “Xiaxia, you didn’t even save any for Uncle, considering how much Uncle usually dotes on you.”

Uncle…

if Mu Ziying hadn’t mentioned it, Baili Xia really wouldn’t have wanted to remember.

Tonight, she had already tried her best to ignore that man.

Now, Mu Xiaojiu was sitting with Dongfang Jin, and it was unclear what they were talking about.

Or perhaps, they weren’t talking about anything at all.

They were just sitting together, sullenly drinking.

It was indeed strange that these two could drink together without any hint of hostility.

However, surrounding them, there were plenty of girls sighing.

They blocked the way, not daring to approach, but they also didn’t miss any detail of their actions.

The girls who came today were mostly friends of Mu Ziqing.

She had only notified one or two, but unexpectedly, a whole group showed up.

However, Uncle seemed to be in a bad mood tonight, not interacting with anyone.

Even the items brought over by Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying were untouched by him.

He didn’t eat anything the entire evening except for drinking.

It was unclear who had offended him, but tonight, Uncle looked more melancholic than ever.

Moreover, it wasn’t the kind that burst into a temper, but rather…

he was gloomily unhappy.

It was surprising that Uncle could also have moments of being gloomily unhappy.

To the younger ones like Mu Ziqing and Mu Ziying, it was indeed very rare.

Baili Xia just gave him a fleeting glance and didn’t pay any further attention.

She continued to flip the large lobsters on the grill with Mu Xiaoyao.

About ten minutes later, when the lobsters were almost cooked, Dongfang Jin came back.

From afar, the screams of the girls came over, “Uncle has gone into the sea!”

“Uncle has gone into the sea!” Mu Ziying was thrilled to death.

She threw her fork down, stood up, and rushed over to watch Uncle swim.

Beside him, Nangong Xu furrowed his brows and glanced at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua nodded, saying to him, “I’ll go take a look.”

He stood up and left, leaving Nangong Xu sitting alone on the other side of the grill, quietly watching the fire.

It seemed he hadn’t drunk any alcohol all night, remaining silent throughout.

A strand of hair was gently lifted by the sea breeze, his extraordinarily beautiful face becoming even more clear and elegant under the firelight.

He was clearly a man with devastating beauty, but alas, he was a male.

After interacting with him for a long time, his face didn’t seem like that of a beautiful person anymore.

He was completely a robust man, especially whenever he used his own body for Baili Xia to practice acupuncture, his masculinity was even more pronounced.

Whenever Baili Xia mispositioned a needle, he would just calmly tell her the correct method.

He wouldn’t even glance at the blood drawn from the pricks.

It was hard to know what kind of upbringing Nangong Xu had, but anyway, this man was overly quiet.

He didn’t like talking with people or mingling with them, and even Ye Hua, sitting beside him all night, hardly exchanged more than five sentences with him.

Always alone, peacefully quiet, a quietness that was inexplicably heartbreaking.

“Mr. Nangong, the lobster is ready, you should try some too.”

Baili Xia cracked open two large prawns, leaving one for Dongfang Jin who was sitting beside her, and took the other on a paper plate to Nangong Xu.

She sat down beside him and started peeling it for him.

She hadn’t expected the pincer to be so hot; as soon as she held it, she immediately let out a low cry from the burn.
