Chapter 498: Chapter 498 Family Head (1)_1

Xiao Muli couldn’t help but secretly chuckle as Situ Xin stopped struggling and let their fingers intertwine tightly.

Aside from Xiao Muli’s deliberate support and their two bodyguards, no one else noticed the unusual interaction between Situ Xin and Xiao Muli. This was because Xiao’s underlings, upon noticing their boss’s behavior that differed from his usual demeanor, became intrigued. They focused all their attention on their boss during the trip, and thus they saw everything that passed between Xiao Muli and Situ Xin.

They never expected that their momentary curiosity would allow them to witness their boss chasing after a girl. And they had to admit to themselves that the woman their boss had his eyes on was the most stunning and eye-catching one they’d ever seen. They didn’t know much about her other than her looks, but in terms of appearance, she was indeed a perfect match for their boss.

However, it was only because both Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were distracted by their own unusual feelings that they let their guard down. Otherwise, these three individuals wouldn’t have had such a good opportunity to observe this scene.

"Ah, my master is actually getting chased by that icy face," Baibai saw everything that Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were doing outside. Baibai could see the outside world from within its space because, upon learning that Baibai couldn’t board the plane, Situ Xin saw Baibai’s pitiful look and came up with a compromise that allowed Baibai to watch what was happening outside. This way, Baibai wouldn’t feel so lonely.

When Situ Xin heard Baibai’s words, her face turned red in an instant. She had completely forgotten that Baibai was inside the space and could see everything outside. When Baibai spoke, Situ Xin remembered this and felt a bit annoyed and ashamed, she used her Divine Sense to say to Baibai, "Stinky Baibai, what are you talking about?"

"Master, are you getting annoyed out of embarrassment?" Baibai was not afraid of its master getting angry at all, rather, it stretched out its tiger paw, covered its mouth, and snickered.

But before Baibai had its fill of laughter, the view before its eyes suddenly changed to that of the inside of the space. At that moment, Baibai was too preoccupied to continue enjoying its master’s joke. It quickly tried to reestablish the connection with the outside world.

However, it couldn’t succeed no matter what. "Hmph. Baibai, that’s for mocking your master." Situ Xin was truly embarrassed and angry, and she cut off Baibai’s connection with the outside world.

"Master, please don’t, Baibai knows it was wrong. Baibai won’t laugh at the master anymore after seeing things it shouldn’t. Baibai will keep it to itself from now on." Baibai put on a pitiful face, pleading for Situ Xin’s forgiveness, admitting its mistakes, but the words that came out made Situ Xin harden her heart and cut off all communication with Baibai through Divine Sense.

When Baibai confirmed that its master had severed all contact with it, it stopped pretending to be pitiable. Instead, it hummed a tune cheerfully and went off to find some good things to eat inside the space. To be honest, Baibai had a rather good impression of Xiao Muli, who might become its master’s companion, so it didn’t plan to interfere.

Ladies and gentlemen:

The plane is descending. Please return to your seat, fasten your seatbelt, stow your tray, and bring your seat back to the upright position. All personal computers and electronic devices must be switched off. Please ensure that your hand luggage is properly stowed. Soon, we will dim the cabin lights.

Thank you!

As the airplane’s descent announcement played, Situ Xin and her group reached their destination, BL.

"Xiao Xin, are the accommodations for your stay all set?" While helping Situ Xin organize her things, Xiao Muli asked.

"Oh, I’m not sure about that. You’d have to ask my aunt," Situ Xin shrugged at Xiao Muli. Indeed, Situ Xin spoke the truth, as the travel arrangements weren’t her responsibility. What she needed to take care of were all matters related to the fashion show during Fashion Week.

"The Xiao family has property in BL, so if you haven’t booked a place to stay and don’t mind, you could stay at the Xiao family’s villa here in BL." Xiao Muli really hoped that Situ Xin’s accommodations weren’t arranged yet, as this would mean more time for them to spend together.

Xiao Muli, who had just established a relationship with Situ Xin, didn’t want to be apart from her at all. However, he knew that he had come to BL under the pretext of handling business for the BL Xiao Group Company, which meant he definitely couldn’t accompany Situ Xin; he needed to visit the Xiao family’s branch office in BL. Moreover, if he wasn’t mistaken, the executives who had received the news would already be waiting at the airport exit.

However, just as Xiao Muli finished speaking, Situ Xin’s aunt, Lu Juan, approached them, "Eh, Muli, what are your plans? Are you going to join us or...?" Since the Lu family was an aristocratic trading family, they were aware of the Xiao family’s change in family head, so Lu Juan also knew about Xiao Muli becoming the current family head of the Xiao family.

Lu Juan was slightly shocked when she first heard the news. After all, based on what she knew, Old Master Xiao and his family, although being direct descendants, didn’t involve themselves in Xiao family affairs. Therefore, it was surprising to her when Xiao Muli took the position of family head.

"I think Xiao’s people are already waiting at the airport exit. But Aunt Lu, have you booked your accommodations?" Xiao Muli inquired.

"They were secured long ago. Fearing that the hotels around here would be full due to Fashion Week, I asked someone to make reservations well in advance," Lu Juan said with a prescient smile.

Upon hearing Lu Juan’s response, Xiao Muli felt slightly disappointed, but his face showed no sign of it. "Then Aunt Lu, could you tell me the hotel where you’re staying? After I take care of my affairs, I’ll come to find you." As he spoke, Xiao Muli remembered another matter. "By the way, I heard that designers at BL’s fashion show have to prepare their own venues. Have you taken care of that?"
