Chapter 507: Chapter 507: Really Want to Hold Her (2)_1

However, Situ Xin was quite puzzled. Why had Brown Kress looked at her with such hatred just now? What did Xiao Muli’s arrival with a female companion have to do with him?

When Situ Xin stepped out of the car, her mind was buzzing with thoughts, yet her face bore an appropriate smile.

"Wow." As Situ Xin emerged from the car and showed her face, someone from the crowd let out a gasp of admiration.

Then, following the gasps, quiet murmurs spread around. "Wow, who is that woman? She’s so beautiful. Even more so than that number one socialite from the Brown family," a man’s voice reached the ears of Situ Xin and Xiao Muli.

Another voice added, "Come on, that so-called number one socialite. That’s just a title people give out of respect for the Brown family’s status. To be honest, in terms of looks, she can’t even compare to this lady’s little finger. Honestly, of all the women I’ve seen, none is as pretty as her."

Xiao Muli’s expression darkened instantly when he heard the comments about Situ Xin. In fact, the moment Situ Xin had stepped out of the car, Muli had regretted bringing her. His woman, he did not want others to see. He wanted to hide her away so that only he could enjoy her beauty.

Thinking this, he lowered his head and whispered to Situ Xin, who was linked arm in arm with him, "I really regret bringing you out. Right now, I wish I could hide you away so no one else could see you."

"What are you talking about?" Situ Xin asked shyly, looking down and glancing at Muli. However, her glance lacked any real bite; instead, it made Muli’s heart flutter. Were it not for the circumstances, he would have thrown caution to the wind and kissed her right then and there.

When Brown Kress saw Situ Xin, he too was stunned by her beauty. Although he loathed admitting it, the lady standing next to Xiao Muli was indeed much prettier than his own daughter. But denying it wouldn’t change the obvious truth laid bare before him.

Thinking of his daughter, who was currently waiting in the villa for Muli, hoping to become his companion, Brown Kress felt a twinge of headache and heartache. He now somewhat regretted bringing his daughter along when he met with Muli and regretted trying to set them up together.

Although Brown Kress had his regrets, they were fleeting. The next moment, his thoughts took a different turn, and the look in his eyes when he gazed at Situ Xin was filled with coldness.

Situ Xin felt a sudden chill around her and instinctively looked up towards Brown Kress, catching the look he had not yet managed to withdraw.

Situ Xin didn’t understand the menacing look that Brown Kress gave her. She couldn’t figure out what she had done to him or the Brown family to warrant such a look. Although she was perplexed, she felt a well of hostility toward Brown Kress, who had dared look at her with such eyes. Her own eyes narrowed slightly. If it weren’t for the fact that she was currently Muli’s companion, and if this event wasn’t hosted by the Patriarch Xiao to welcome Muli, she certainly would not have let Brown Kress off easily – at the very least, she might have skinned him alive.

However, even though Situ Xin could not act against Brown Kress at the moment, she had already made a mental note about him, and even the Brown family. And for those who ended up as Situ Xin’s enemies, their fate was invariably grim.

Xiao Muli could sense the change in the air around Situ Xin and cautiously asked, "Xiao Xin, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing," Situ Xin chose not to mention Brown Kress to Muli. Firstly, she already knew that the Browns and the Xiao Family had business dealings and were partners. Secondly, dealing with someone like Brown Kress was something she could handle on her own without troubling Muli. Not to mention Brown, she didn’t see the entire Brown family as a threat.

"Let’s go inside then. Once we’re in, stick close to me and don’t wander off, understand?" Muli instructed. He had seen how the men around them looked at Situ Xin with gleaming eyes, and he didn’t want to lose his beloved girl to someone else’s advances due to a moment of carelessness.

"Yes, I got it. You’ve mentioned it several times in the car. Besides, I’m not a seven- or eight-year-old girl anymore—just relax," Situ Xin felt great being cared for by her boyfriend, feeling sweet inside. However, she pretended to be annoyed as she spoke.

Brown Kress noted how Muli had completely forgotten about his existence since this unbelievably beautiful woman appeared by his side, which added to his dislike for Situ Xin.

Brown, although filled with resentment towards Situ Xin, did not dare show his displeasure to Muli, especially when he needed a favor from him. Consequently, even with his growing dissatisfaction, he kept it off his face and instead spoke to Muli with a genial smile, "Muli, let’s go. Later on, I’ll introduce you to a few young members of BL aristocratic families. They hold significant social status within the BL upper classes. Getting to know them could be extremely beneficial for you."

As Brown Kress spoke, he cast several disdainful glances at Situ Xin. To him, Situ Xin was merely a woman who used her extraordinary looks to seduce the Xiao Family Head. Brown considered himself elite and looked down on such women. Moreover, since Situ Xin had usurped the position meant for his daughter, his antagonism towards her intensified.

He was deliberately saying these things to make Situ Xin realize her place.
