Of course, Mu Xiaojiu knew that she didn't want their relationship to be public, especially not in front of others.
He had at least promised her that he would try his best on this matter.
Well, at least he'd try!
He loosened the grip on his arm, making them appear less like they were embracing.
It rather appeared like Baili Xia was startled by something just now and that her Uncle was comforting her.
However, Baili Xia knew that if this behavior continued, people would surely become suspicious.
Solace should have a limit, shouldn't it?
There was a fear of him that Baili Xia couldn't express.
She was fearful that he might get angry again, with consequences following once they got home.
"You, why are you here?"
Baili Xia asked, confused as to why her Uncle would appear at this moment.
"Is it necessary for you to know?" Mu Xiaojiu's tone hinted at anger, regarding her earlier attitude.
She had pulled such a face the moment they met.
