Chapter 915: He Just Wanted a Simple Life

All day, it had happened several times already, in the morning, at noon, and in the evening, with more punctuality than meals.

What if, it actually happened, what about the child?

Uncle had to sneak around even to go on a date with her, how could this child possibly come into this world?

She closed her eyes and breathed slowly.

Hopefully, it was just her overthinking, otherwise, she really wouldn’t know what to do.

…

The taxi stopped outside of Mu Mansion, and Baili Xia let Mu Xiaojiu sleep for another fifteen minutes before gently waking him.

When the two appeared at the gate of Mu Mansion and saw the group standing not far ahead, both of their hearts sank with an indescribable heaviness.

“Mr. Xiaojiu!” Ye Hua and Leng Yu rushed over anxiously, and even Mu Xiaoyao came over to greet them.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, how could you…” Ye Hua glanced at his attire and had so many things he wanted to say.

But, after all, Mr.

Xiaojiu was Mr.

Xiaojiu, even if he did something wrong, it was not their place to blame him.

So, those words had to be swallowed back down forcefully.

However, when it came to looking at Baili Xia, their gazes were filled with more disapproval than usual.

They thought Miss Xiaxia would be sensible, but it turned out she was just a frivolous, irresponsible young girl.

Didn’t she know that for Mr.

Xiaojiu to leave everyone behind and go out alone with her was really dangerous?

She didn’t care about her own life, fine, but she didn’t consider Mr.

Xiaojiu at all, it really was…

too much.

“I forced her,” Mu Xiaojiu uttered without elaboration, not wanting Ye Hua and Leng Yu to make her feel uncomfortable, and then glanced at Mu Xiaoyao, “It’s not her fault.”

“I know,” Mu Xiaoyao nodded, looking at Baili Xia, “Go back and rest.”

With that, he turned and walked towards the main house.

He didn’t mean to blame anyone, although he disapproved of the behavior just the same.

But, how could anything Uncle decided be changed by this girl?

It really wasn’t anything to do with this girl.

Baili Xia looked back at Mu Xiaojiu, wanting to say something, but Ye Hua preempted her, “Mr. Xiaojiu, there’s something…”

Baili Xia pursed her lips, but in the end, said nothing, and after exchanging greetings with Mu Xiaojiu, she followed Mu Xiaoyao.

“Mr. Xiaojiu,” after the two had walked off into the distance, Ye Hua immediately turned to Mu Xiaojiu, visibly upset yet afraid to speak.

But still, he couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Xiaojiu, you should be well aware that the assassination attempts against you have been increasing lately, you really shouldn’t…”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t say a word, lifting his long, perfect legs and heading towards the Sihai Residence.

He knew, he knew everything, and even more so that he had indeed been very willful this time.

But, he really had enough of this life.

All these actions, assassinations, vendettas, plans…

he disliked them all, everything.

He only liked sneaking out with the girl when they had time, walking around, eating, looking at things.

He just wanted…

to live a few days of an ordinary person’s life.

Ye Hua still wanted to say something, but Leng Yu gently tugged at his sleeve and shook her head at him.

Even she could see it now, the smile that had lingered in Mr.

Xiaojiu’s eyes when he returned with Baili Xia.

It was a carefree gesture, spontaneous, comfortable, without any guard or caution.

She didn’t know that Mr.

Xiaojiu could actually feel so relaxed and at ease when he was with that girl.

But when Mr.

Xiaojiu saw them, the last bit of laughter in his eyes vanished completely.

It was as if the bright stars and blossoming flowers had, at the moment he saw them, instantly plummeted and withered away.

The sense of loss at that moment was heart-wrenching, and one couldn’t bear to look away.
