Bab 52: Chapter 52: Uncle, Don't! (14)_1

Whether Mu Xiaojiu was later given plenty to drink or not, Baili Xia did not know. After being called by the old man, she spent the whole night accompanying him and a group of elders in conversation.

She held on for over an hour, until ten o'clock at night, when Mr. Xiaojiu reminded the old man to rest, and only then was Baili Xia finally able to excuse herself.

She did not continue to stay at the banquet, but found an excuse to return to the main house.

Once back in her room upstairs, she hurriedly locked the door, picked up her nightgown and went to take a bath.

Although in her home it was rather impolite to lock one's door, for some reason she always felt insecure if she didn't.

In the bathroom, looking at her own flushed face in the mirror, Baili Xia felt frustrated again.

Why, having avoided him again and again, she ended up in his home?

Mr. Xiaojiu's home… Mu family, she really felt like she was in a predicament now.
