Chapter 936: Is That Also His Intention

Mu Xiaoyao was shocked for a moment, not knowing what flashed through his mind, hurriedly saying, “No, Uncle is on a business trip.”

He then turned to look at the cars, as if by inspecting them, he intended to dodge her probing gaze.

Brother is acting strange!

Baili Xia felt a slight tug at her heartstrings.

Why did Brother act like this when mentioning Uncle?

What was going on with him?

What was going on with Uncle?

“He’s on a business trip, where did he go?” Baili Xia walked up to him, staring directly into his eyes.

Brother was not a liar.

If he didn’t want to talk, he would rather keep silent than concoct excuses to deceive her.

Just like now, he glanced at her briefly and then turned around again, refusing to talk to her.

Why wouldn’t he even tell her where Uncle had gone?

What’s just a business trip?

Could it be dangerous?

“Brother!” Baili Xia stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.

“What happened to Uncle? Is he in some kind of trouble?”

A week had passed since that night he had a fever and slept in his room all night.

Since the next day, after he went to work, she hadn’t seen him again.

“He’s fine, don’t overthink it.” But apart from this, there really was nothing else he could tell her.

“Don’t ask about anything else, there’s a lot I don’t know either.”

“So you’ve been with me every single day this week, was that Uncle’s idea too?”

“He just instructed me to take good care of you.” That’s why, over the past seven or eight days, he had been watching over her.

Baili Xia really didn’t understand.

Not only did Uncle not let her know about his business trip, but why did he insist on Brother watching over her?

She wasn’t any significant figure, and she hadn’t made any significant enemies either.

Her old foe, Lu Xuening, had long since met her end and could no longer harm her.

So why did Brother need to watch over her?

Although, she really didn’t dislike Brother, and sometimes she even felt flattered when girls on the street frequently turned to look at them.

Those jealous glares occasionally satisfied her feminine vanity.

However, if this was Uncle’s arrangement, it truly felt unpleasant.

She hadn’t forgotten, Uncle had always wanted her and Brother to get engaged, and that issue hadn’t been perfectly resolved even now.

To be exact, the situation hadn’t changed at all.

It wasn’t something that a casual date could change.

What exactly did Uncle want to do?

“Look at the cars.” Without giving her much time to dwell on these matters, Mu Xiaoyao pushed her toward the car again.

…

No matter how much Baili Xia resisted, in the end, Mu Xiaoyao still picked out a car for her—the cheapest one he had shown her.

But when he swiped his card, and the price displayed was over a million, Baili Xia’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.

Over a million, said to be lent to her, but what if she scratched or bumped it while driving?

Such an expensive car, the maintenance and repair costs would undoubtedly be immense.

A single accident and she couldn’t afford the repairs.

Not to mention that such cars use premium fuel.

Where was she supposed to earn the money for the gas?

It seemed that after buying this car, it would just sit as a showpiece at Mu Mansion.

She wouldn’t dare drive it.

Reportedly, the dealership had only two cars available, and she had taken one of them.

Walking out of the dealership, looking at the brand-new red car in the plaza, Baili Xia felt overwhelmed.

Who says that all women like fancy cars and jewels?

Whoever said that must have questionable intelligence.
