Chapter 715: Chapter 709 No Misunderstanding (1)_1

Xiao Muli’s words froze the expressions on the faces of the three people standing in front of him. Situ Xin was surprised; the matter of being Xiao Muli’s girlfriend, she had personally agreed to, but as for being his fiancée, she was sure there was no such thing.

Moreover, Situ Xin was not foolish. Her mind quickly made the connection, and she understood what Xiao Muli was up to.

Given the situation, Situ Xin could not just expose Xiao Muli and deny his claim, so she managed to hide her expression and pinched Xiao Muli fiercely on the waist.

Xiao Muli, who had been observing Situ Xin out of the corner of his eye, suddenly stiffened his face, but then resumed his composure. Apart from Baibai and members of The Dark Division like Situ Muli, no one else noticed this fleeting change on Xiao Muli’s face.

Those who saw the change in Xiao Muli’s expression realized Situ Xin’s action. Thus, Baibai and The Dark Division thought to themselves, "Serves you right for scheming against our Leader (Family Head)."

As for Xiao Muli, because of Situ Xin’s action, his heart that was held high was finally put at ease. Fortunately, Situ Xin didn’t outright deny his claim. He was not afraid of not knowing how to finish, he was afraid that his effort would be spoiled and his previous efforts would be wasted.

After pinching Xiao Muli, Situ Xin leaned a bit closer to him and whispered in a voice that only she, Xiao Muli, and Baibai could hear, "Wait until we get back, and see how I’ll deal with you."

"Baby, however you want to handle me when we get back, I won’t resist," said Xiao Muli, his mood completely transformed from the one tormented by Patriarch Mao, his eyes brimming with tenderness. What Xiao Muli did not say was, "Baby, as long as you’re willing to marry me, you can torment me however you like, I won’t have any objections." These were words Xiao Muli was not ready to voice; he only spoke them in his heart.

Apart from Baibai and The Dark Division, nobody else saw the covert interactions between Situ Xin and Xiao Muli.

Having just been instructed, Madam Mao had brought over their daughter. As soon as she approached, she heard Xiao Muli’s words. Madam Mao’s expression also fell. "What does this Family Head of Xiao Family mean? No matter what, our Mao Family is only second to theirs, and yet they’re showing no respect for our Mao Family."

However, Miss Mao didn’t have much of a reaction to Xiao Muli’s words. She only found the figure with his back to her somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t recall where she had seen him. Besides, Miss Mao was clearer than her parents about the hierarchy; although the Mao Family was only second to the Xiao Family, the gap between was insurmountable. It was precisely this gap that forced the Mao Family to cling to the Xiao Family.

"Family Head, none of us from the Xiao Family were aware of your fiancée matter, were we?" asked Xiao San, his face falling as he strained to curl his lips into a smile. But by doing so, his expression looked particularly ludicrous, prompting Situ Xin beside him to struggle to suppress her laughter.

And Situ Xin was not one to restrain herself. Wanting to laugh, she did so. Of course, being a lady, she simply flashed a broad smile rather than bursting into loud laughter. Yet Situ Xin’s smile enchanted many of the men present.

Seeing many of the men present showing infatuated looks towards Situ Xin, Xiao Muli’s heart filled with displeasure, even emitting a killing intent that caused those around him to feel a chill down their spines. Instantly, they snapped back to reality from their infatuation with Situ Xin’s smile.

Xiao San might have outwardly questioned why the Family Head hadn’t informed them of his fiancée, but the subtext was clear to anyone with a brain.

Xiao Muli was more than just intelligent; he fully understood the implication of Xiao San’s words. Already seething from the infatuated glances cast towards Situ Xin by the other men, and now with Uncle Xiao San’s words, the killing intent around Xiao Muli soared to its peak. Those close to Xiao Muli, excluding Situ Xin, were sweating bullets, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Xiao San too belatedly realized that his words had severely provoked Xiao Muli.

"Uncle Xiao San, I address you as ’uncle’ out of politeness, but if you really take my courtesy as a sign of your invincibility, you are gravely mistaken," Xiao Muli narrowed his eyes and looked at Xiao San, "I don’t recall any family rule stating that the Family Head must obtain the full agreement of the entire Xiao Family when choosing a partner. Uncle Xiao San, if you’ve seen such a rule, please show it to me."

Xiao Muli thought to himself with a cold snort, "Even if such a family rule truly existed in the Xiao Family, I’d ensure it became history. The choice of my other half is mine alone to make."

It was only now that Uncle Xiao San remembered that Xiao Muli, though seemingly his junior, was a very ruthless Family Head and not someone to be taken lightly. No one who had ever schemed against him was living an easy life to this day.

Xiao San’s face was ashen. His mouth trembled, attempting to say something, but the fear in his heart made it impossible for him to speak.

"Today, at the Xiao Family gathering, almost all members of our family are present, and some from other closely related aristocratic families are here as well. I, Xiao Muli, will take this opportunity to announce something to everyone: Situ Xin is my wife in this lifetime, and she can be the only one. Furthermore, matters of my personal life are for me, Xiao Muli, to decide. Anyone thinking of meddling should first consider if they have the weight to do so. You all know my temperament and style of doing things, so I apologize in advance for any offense I may cause," Xiao Muli stated, his hand firmly clasped with Situ Xin’s.

When Situ Xin heard Xiao Muli say, "Situ Xin is my wife in this lifetime, and she can be the only one," she had to admit she was truly moved. Because she felt that when Xiao Muli said those words, there was not a trace of falsehood, but pure sincerity.
