Chapter 491: Chapter 491 Military Academy (2)_1

Xiao Muli’s assistant was well aware of who Situ Xin was and had met her before; he also knew that she was the one in their BOSS’s heart. Thus, he was not surprised by Xiao Muli’s unusual behavior. However, the two bodyguards were shocked by the way Xiao Muli looked at Situ Xin. Cracks appeared on their expressionless faces.

Their hearts were filled with amazement. Was this still their cold and ruthless BOSS?

"Muli, what brings you here? Shouldn’t you be at school at this time?" Old Madam Loo was quite surprised by Xiao Muli’s arrival. As family members of military personnel, they were all too familiar with the strict rules and regulations of the military academy.

They knew that military school was not like an ordinary university where you could take leave whenever you wanted. There were a lot of procedures to go through in order to get a leave approved.

"I had some matters to handle, so I had Grandpa help me take some time off," Xiao Muli replied dutifully to Situ Xin’s family’s questions.

From the moment Xiao Muli appeared until now, not a trace of surprise had shown on Situ Xin’s face; instead, she felt an inner clarity. She knew that Xiao Muli was now the Family Head of the Xiao Family and his chances of joining the military in the future were slim.

Originally, she had always thought that after taking over as Family Head, Xiao Muli would go to a regular university to study management. To her surprise, he chose military school instead. Situ Xin only learned why later, from Xiao Muli’s own explanation.

Xiao Muli had attended military school at the special request of Old Master Xiao. Old Master Xiao said that even if Xiao Muli did not join the army in the future, he still needed to attend military school to fulfill his wish. Therefore, Xiao Muli’s attendance at the military school was simply to fulfill his grandfather’s wish.

Seeing Xiao Muli at the airport, Situ Xin knew by the people accompanying him that his departure must be related to Xiao Family affairs. With Old Master Xiao around, getting leave from the military academy was not an issue.

"Brother Muli, where are you headed this time?" Situ Xin approached Xiao Muli and asked.

"BL. Something has happened with the Xiao Family there, so I’m going to check in person." As soon as Situ Xin approached, Xiao Muli caught a whiff of a sweet and pleasant floral scent. He took several greedy sniffs. It was a fragrance unique to Situ Xin.

For a while, Xiao Muli, missing the scent that emanated from Situ Xin, had specifically ordered his subordinates to find a perfume with the same fragrance, but after a lengthy search, they failed to find any perfume with that particular scent.

Upon hearing his BOSS’s words, Xiao Muli’s assistant could not help but twitch the corners of his mouth, criticizing inwardly, "BOSS, the matter in BL wouldn’t require your personal involvement. Sending someone from below to deal with it would be sufficient. You clearly have ulterior motives." Xiao Muli’s assistant discreetly glanced at Situ Xin.

Indeed, Xiao Muli’s decision to visit BL was made after hearing from his grandfather that Situ Xin would be attending Fashion Week there. Since they had entered university, the opportunities to meet Situ Xin had significantly diminished.

Recently, due to various reasons, their meetings became even rarer. Furthermore, Xiao Muli had no chance to spend time alone with Situ Xin during their few encounters, causing him to feel as if his heart was being scratched by a cat’s claw. He had been anxious to find a chance to ask her about her choice, especially since Yu Qihao had completely lost the opportunity to be with Situ Xin, which made Xiao Muli even more eager.

Old Master Xiao, fully aware of his grandson’s underlying intention, was pleased to see it. So when Xiao Muli came to him, saying that the Xiao Family had some issues in BL and that he needed to personally address them, asking him to arrange a leave, Old Master Xiao readily agreed.

"Muli, you’re also going to BL," Loo Yaxin picked up on the least important detail.

"Yes, Aunt Loo," Xiao Muli turned his head, looked at Loo Yaxin, and replied.

"Really? That’s great. Which flight are you on? You’re not on the same one as us, are you?" Loo Yaxin was speaking when an employee from "Xin" company, who had completed their procedures, came in with boarding passes and the like.

Loo Yaxin took the boarding passes from the employee and compared them with Xiao Muli’s group, and hey, they were indeed on the same flight. And just like Situ Xin and her party, they were all in first class.

However, that wasn’t too significant. The real surprise came after they boarded the plane and settled down, when Situ Xin realized that the person sitting next to her was none other than Xiao Muli.

Situ Xin looked at the Xiao Muli sitting beside her and raised her eyebrows. She wouldn’t be like her mother, thinking that all this was mere coincidence. Leaning close to Xiao Muli’s ear, she whispered softly, "Brother Muli, you can’t tell me this is a coincidence."

Xiao Muli, basking in the scent emanating from Situ Xin that belonged only to her, and feeling the warmth of her breath on his ear as she spoke close to him, found it ticklish but was inwardly elated. "Heh, whether it’s a coincidence or I arranged it on purpose," he replied openly to Situ Xin without hiding anything.

The flight from Capital City to BL would take 10 hours. Although the journey was long, it was of no concern to Situ Xin if she were alone; she could simply sleep through the flight and arrive at her destination.

However, things were different now, especially with the two Old Madams, her grandmother and her maternal grandmother. Situ Xin worried they might not endure the long journey, even though they were currently in good health, because their age was a factor.

"Grandma, Grandmother, have some juice," Situ Xin said, over an hour after the plane took off and observing that everyone had settled down from the initial excitement of the trip and now looked listless. She took out a large bottle of grape juice from her carry-on bag and walked over to Old Madam Situ and Old Madam Loo.

Then, she signaled for a flight attendant to bring her some cups. The flight attendant, after seeing the large bottle of grape juice that Situ Xin brought out, glanced several times between Situ Xin and the bottle in her hand.
