Chapter 706: Chapter 702 Xiao Muli is a Sly Guy (2)_1

Xiao Muli got into the car with Situ Xin only after incessant assurances from him.

It was only when Xiao Muli’s car left the military district that Situ Xin finally let out a small sigh of relief. It wasn’t just Situ Xin who sighed in relief; Baibai, nestled in her arms, also relaxed along with her.

Seeing Situ Xin’s adorable expression, Xiao Muli couldn’t help but laugh, and hearing his rare laughter, Situ Xin gave him a fierce glare, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, nothing, I’m just in a good mood," Xiao Muli didn’t say that it was seeing Situ Xin’s irresistibly adorable expression that had made him laugh so happily; otherwise, if he upset his darling, he would be the one to suffer later.

"Hey, where’s your assistant and the driver? Why are you driving yourself today?" Just now, Situ Xin was only focused on dealing with her grandmother and great-grandmother and didn’t notice anything else. Only now had she realized.

"Oh, they went ahead to the Xiao Family Mansion to take care of some things," Xiao Muli’s assistant and driver had truly left earlier for the Xiao Family Ancestral House, but not to take care of business as he had said. Instead, they went ahead to prepare a room for Situ Xin in the mansion.

And how could Xiao Muli pass up such a great opportunity to be alone with Situ Xin? Ever since they were discharged from the hospital, except for occasionally picking her up from school and having alone time during the drive home, it had been nearly impossible to get close to Situ Xin without both families watching him like hawks.

As Xiao Muli thought about it, he stretched out the hand that wasn’t holding the steering wheel and firmly took hold of Situ Xin’s other hand. Feeling the delicate softness of her hand, a tightness formed in his lower body, and he was overwhelmed with the desire to stop the car and kiss Situ Xin passionately.

"Hey, shouldn’t you be driving properly instead of grabbing my hand?" Situ Xin struggled a few times, but Xiao Muli held on tightly. Not daring to struggle too forcefully for fear of distracting him while driving, Situ Xin’s tender white hand remained in Xiao Muli’s firm grip after much effort.

"Be good, Baby, let me hold it for a while. Your grandfather and the others are watching at home; we can’t even kiss, let alone hold hands. Just indulge me for a bit." Xiao Muli rarely spoke with such a coquettish tone. Of course, to outsiders, Xiao Muli’s coquettish tone was completely different—it was something no one else could discern, nor did they have the opportunity to hear Xiao Muli acting so spoiled.

However, Situ Xin was rather susceptible to Xiao Muli’s antics. As soon as he spoke, she stopped struggling and let his large hand hold her smaller one.

Seeing that Situ Xin had stopped struggling, Xiao Muli was secretly delighted and started calculating in his mind. So, Baby is responsive to a soft approach rather than a hard one. In the future, to get close and intimate, all he needed to do was to act a little pitiful and spoiled.

Unbeknownst to Situ Xin, her actions that day meant that in the future, she would be entirely at the mercy of Xiao Muli’s tactic. Of course, this was a story for another time.

Baibai watched Xiao Muli’s cutesy, coquettish behavior and rudely rolled its eyes. Baibai couldn’t help but think annoyedly, it had truly misjudged. It had initially thought Xiao Muli was a cool guy but realized now he was dark-hearted. His exterior was so at odds with the interior.

Baibai looked at the large black hand that tightly held its master’s hand and pondered if it should find a new prospect for its master. Xiao Muli didn’t seem like an easy person to deal with. However, Baibai didn’t realize that it was already too late to consider this problem; its master had long become a delicacy at Xiao Muli’s lips.

"You see, when a delicacy is already at one’s lips, who would let it go so easily, especially someone as dominant as Xiao Muli? So, Baibai’s plan was doomed to fail."

Xiao Muli drove the car at a slow pace; he really liked the feeling of being in a space alone with Situ Xin. However, even if he drove at a snail’s pace, the journey was short, so before dinner time, their car safely stopped outside the Xiao Family Mansion.

"Family Head, you are finally here." The butler of the Xiao Family Ancestral House, along with a host of servants, had long been waiting outside the house. Seeing Xiao Muli getting out of the driver’s seat, the butler approached with a face full of excitement.

"Mm, Butler, have someone take out the stuff from my car trunk and put it in my room," Xiao Muli said, getting out of the car and resuming his expressionless face, appearing cold and indifferent. This made the servants shiver unconsciously.

Hearing Xiao Muli’s order, the butler was quite puzzled. The Family Head usually didn’t bring any luggage when he came back; what brought about the change this time? But even though the butler was curious, he promptly responded to Xiao Muli’s command and arranged for the servants to retrieve the items from the car trunk.

Meanwhile, Xiao Muli walked to the other side of the car, opened the passenger door, and instantly replaced his earlier stern expression with a tender one, saying, "Baby, we’re here. Get out of the car. Let’s rest for a bit before we have dinner."

Xiao Muli’s sudden change of expression truly startled many people. The butler and the servants were all stunned by his tenderness, all thinking the same thing: Was this really their Family Head, known for his cold demeanor like Yama?

No matter what thoughts or expressions these servants had, Xiao Muli was busy leading Situ Xin, who was holding Baibai, towards the Xiao Family Mansion. By the time the butler and the servants came back to their senses, all they could see was the retreating backs of Xiao Muli and Situ Xin, walking side by side.

The servants and the butler were filled with regret, kicking themselves for their momentary lapse when it mattered most, as they hadn’t managed to catch a glimpse of the girl who elicited such an expression from their Family Head.

Situ Xin and Xiao Muli hadn’t noticed everyone’s expressions; at the moment, the pair were discussing what to eat for dinner tonight, a matter of great concern to Situ Xin every time she went out. Having grown accustomed to the produce from her Storage Ring, she found it hard to swallow food made from ingredients outside.

Fortunately, Xiao Muli was aware that Situ Xin couldn’t get used to food made from outside ingredients. When his assistant arrived at the Xiao Family Mansion ahead of them, he had already given him a vegetable that Situ Xin had prepared for him from her Storage Ring and instructed his assistant to bring it over for dinner.

Upon receiving this news, Situ Xin was in high spirits and tiptoed to plant a light kiss on Xiao Muli’s face. But that single kiss left Xiao Muli completely frozen on the spot.
