Chapitre 158: Chapter 161: Uncle, I'll Behave Myself 31_1

"Only Uncle" these three words, stirred up a surge of emotions in Mu Xiaojiu.

A large hand landed on her waist, pulling her towards himself.

His long arm tightened, securing her firmly in his embrace.

"Come to Uncle if you ever have any issues. With Uncle around, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Patting her shoulder, his voice was husky and alluring.

Baili Xia let out a sigh, nodding her head.

Looking at the scar visible in her line of sight, she suddenly seemed lost again.

When had her relationship with Uncle changed so suddenly?

They were no longer at odds but, instead, there seemed to be an unusual intimacy.

He had used his body to shield her from a blade, risking his life to save her.

And she...whenever she was in danger, her first thought was him.

Now the two of them were embracing closely, talking quietly. It felt as if they had known each other for many lifetimes.

Why had her relationship with Uncle suddenly improved so dramatically?
