Chapter 87: My People Play However You Want 14_1

Shaking his head, he cast away those obscure thoughts.

Ye Shadow looked at Baili Xia and smiled.

“Miss Xiaxia, I will take you for a walk over there.

There is a small stream, and there should be a lot of wild sparrows nearby.

We can catch some for dinner,” he suggested.

“Ok.”

The two of them walked along the stream, and soon the sound of gunshots and cheering echoed from afar.

The laughter got sweeter and sweeter, the two were apparently having the time of their lives.

At a distance, a man stood in the darkness, his figure tall and upright, emanating a solitude that was hard to describe.

The moonlight illuminated him, casting a long shadow on the ground.

His handsome and elegant demeanor would easily make any woman’s eyes blurred and cause her heart to ache.

Ye Hua stood not far behind him, staring intently at his shadow.

Of course, he also heard the laughter of the man and the woman from afar.

He was slightly unsettled deep down, unsure if Mr.

Xiaojiu would be unhappy about Ye Shadow spending time with Miss Xiaxia.

But Mr.

Xiaojiu did not exude any chill, he seemed even more calm and composed after hearing Miss Xiaxia’s laughter.

At that moment, Ye Hua felt reassured; Mr.

Xiaojiu wasn’t upset.

On the contrary, his gloomy mood seemed to have lifted significantly.

The influence of Miss Xiaxia on him seemed to be growing, although Mr.

Xiaojiu was not willing to face this issue yet.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu,” he approached, looking at his profile, “You haven’t had dinner.

Do you want me to prepare something for you?”

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, his gaze fixated on the distant forest.

The little girl had been upset for so long, finally, she was laughing again.

It seemed that Ye Shadow’s company was beneficial.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, Ye Shadow has always considered Miss Xiaxia as his master …”

Ye Hua’s words halted when he caught sight of Mu Xiaojiu’s piercing gaze.

After a pause, he continued, “I’ve overstepped my bounds, but Ye Shadow is very innocent, just like a naive little boy …”

“What are you trying to say?”

“Ye Shadow will never betray you, Mr.

Xiaojiu.” Ye Hua bowed slightly to assure him.

“Absolutely not!”

Mu Xiaojiu did not respond.

When did he ever suggest that Ye Shadow would betray him?

With Ye Shadow being there, at least that girl would laugh.

When she sneaked out of the Sihai Residence alone that evening, he was watching her from behind all the time.

She sat there, hugging her knees, and cried by herself for a long time.

He wanted to comfort her but didn’t know how.

Now that Ye Shadow could make her laugh, it was a good thing.

He was never good at comforting women.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, shall we join them and get something to eat?”

Without replying, Mr.

Xiaojiu suddenly turned around and started walking back the way they came.

Finally, the girl was laughing again.

If he went over now, he would only make her cry.

It seemed that she was beginning to dislike him more and more.

His initial light-hearted mood turned gloomy again due to these thoughts.

It was strange how such a small girl could have such control over his emotions.

However, having Ye Shadow keep her company, her laughter, at least, was undisputedly a good thing.

Seeing him silently walk away, Ye Hua didn’t dare to say anything more, so he just followed his steps.

He was finding it increasingly hard to comprehend Mr.

Xiaojiu’s feelings, which seemed to be heavily influenced by Miss Xiaxia’s happiness.

Just a small girl, yet her influence over Mr.

Xiaojiu was growing, certainly not a good thing.

A man like Mr.

Xiaojiu should not have any attachments.

A man with attachments would undoubtedly have weaknesses.

If he developed a weakness, it would restrict his future actions.

Mr.

Xiaojiu still had many things to do, he could not be tied down.

Was it really a good thing to have Miss Xiaxia stay by his side?

What if the enemy threatened Mr.

Xiaojiu with Miss Xiaxia?
