Bab 112: Chapter 115: My People, Play However You Want 39_1

"Feel free to stare, I don't mind you acting like a love-struck fool in front of me."

Uncle who was still eating suddenly commented nonchalantly.

Baili Xia's face turned red in an instant, she couldn't help but retort, "Who's love-struck? Who's staring at you?"

Mu Xiaojiu glanced at her, a light smirk pulling on his lips again.

"Denying it even after you've been caught, you're not very forthright."

But this little gesture of hers unexpectedly brightened his mood a bit.

"I heard someone bullied you just now?" He suddenly asked.

Baili Xia paused momentarily, swallowed the food in her mouth, and then blinked at him vigorously.

"No, it was just a misunderstanding."

"Could it be that you interrupted their good time and that's why they couldn't hold back and burst out?"

Baili Xia's hand trembled, almost dropping the fork onto the table.

She turned her head to look at him sharply, her wide, dewy eyes staring unblinkingly at him, filled with surprise.
