Chapter 722: Chapter 715: Mother of the Xiao Family Head (1)_1

Situ Xin left with Xiao Muli in one car, while Situ Muli and the others were in The Dark Division’s dedicated vehicle, following behind the car that Situ Xin and Xiao Muli were in.

"Baby, in the future, I will stay far away from all other women. All of them, you can’t leave me as resolutely as you did today." As soon as he got into the car, Xiao Muli lowered the partition and then comfortably and attentively nestled up to Situ Xin.

He reached out and pulled Situ Xin into his embrace, smelling her unique fragrance, which finally calmed his heart.

Xiao Muli didn’t wait for Situ Xin to respond but instead buried his head in the crook of her smooth neck and deeply inhaled her scent, saying, "Do you know? The moment you turned away, my heart felt empty. All I could think about was that you were going to leave me, that you didn’t want me anymore. At that time, I couldn’t control myself. I had the thought that if Baby didn’t want me, I wanted to destroy everything."

Situ Xin could feel the sliver of fear in Xiao Muli’s heart. She reached out, wrapped her arms around his back, and gently patted him, comforting him as she said, "I didn’t not want you. It’s just that I couldn’t express what I was feeling at that moment. I simply found Gu Lili’s pose, with her arms wrapped around you, to be an eyesore. I didn’t want to see it. I just wanted to leave." Situ Xin paused, then added, "I was also at fault today for not asking clearly what was happening and choosing to run away blindly. I won’t do that again in the future. However, Xiao Muli, I must tell you, you are now my fiancé, Situ Xin’s fiancé, and if I find out you’re getting too close to another woman, I’ll give you a good beating. You know, when I get fierce, I can be quite vicious." Despite herself, Situ Xin couldn’t help but give Xiao Muli a precautionary warning.

Because Situ Xin had acknowledged Xiao Muli as her fiancé in front of so many people, it indirectly acknowledged him as her future partner. This shift in status held extraordinary significance, "I won’t, not in this lifetime. Besides you, I won’t spare another woman a single glance. Besides you, Situ Xin, I, Xiao Muli, don’t want anyone else." Having heard Situ Xin’s words, Xiao Muli’s heart was truly fulfilled. "Baby, I’m also afraid you’ll run off with another man. Look at yourself, you’re so beautiful. Every man who sees you has his eyes wide open, staring at you without blinking. You know, at those times, I just want to hide you away, so no one else can see you."

"Hmmph, do I look like a fickle woman? Once I’ve chosen you, it’s for a lifetime," Situ Xin said as she stretched out her hand and pinched Xiao Muli hard on the waist. That pinch caused Xiao Muli to grimace in pain.

But inside, his heart was filled with sweetness, eclipsing the pain on his body.

Xiao Muli held Situ Xin tight, smelling her special fragrance, and listening to her sweet words, his movements became restless. He kissed Situ Xin’s neck tenderly, once, and then again, tickling her.

Xiao Muli’s restless mouth traveled from Situ Xin’s neck towards her lips. But just as he was about to kiss Situ Xin’s mouth, his phone rang.

"A call." Hearing the ringtone, Situ Xin dodged to the side, causing Xiao Muli’s kiss to miss its mark.

"SHIT, who is calling me at this time, ruining my good moment," Xiao Muli complained, half in desire as he pulled out his phone. He saw it was a call from the old mansion.

Seeing it was a call from the old mansion, Xiao Muli almost knew what had happened. He had expected this ever since he planned to take Situ Xin to the Xiao Family gathering, intending to use the family meeting to publicly announce her identity.

The prediction was spot on; the Xiao Family Butler had called, informing Xiao Muli that the Xiao Family’s elder statesmen were waiting for him at the Xiao Family Old Mansion with something to discuss.

Xiao Muli’s expression did not change upon hearing the news. He simply said, "I understand," and then hung up the call. The elders waiting at the Xiao Family Mansion had no idea that Xiao Muli attributed the interruption of his intimate moment with Situ Xin to them.

"What happened?" Although the phone was of good quality, and the voice from the other end of the call was almost inaudible, Situ Xin’s hearing was exceptional. She could hear even a mosquito’s whisper, let alone the voice on the call.

"It’s nothing serious, just a few bothersome old men. I’ve wanted to deal with them for a while. Now that they’ve come to me, they can’t blame me for being uncivil."

Xiao Muli spoke nonchalantly. Yet Situ Xin immediately guessed that the appearance of these old men must be about something significant.

The car stopped outside the Xiao Family Mansion; Xiao Muli took Situ Xin’s hand as they got out of the car and saw a group of elderly men standing at the entrance of the Xiao Family Old Mansion.

"Family Head, Miss Situ, you’re back," greeted the Xiao Family Butler with a smile upon seeing Situ Xin and Xiao Muli. Meanwhile, the elders looked at Situ Xin with probing and unfriendly eyes before indifferently greeting Xiao Muli, "Family Head," without acknowledging Situ Xin standing beside him. This scene was witnessed by the members of The Dark Division who had just gotten out of the car. They knew that these elders meant trouble.

However, they also realized that since these problematic old men were from the Xiao Family, it was up to Xiao Muli to handle them; it was not quite appropriate for them, as outsiders, to intervene.

"Miss, since the matter has been resolved, we’ll be leaving now," said Situ Muli and the others as they approached Situ Xin after glancing at the elders standing at the entrance of the Xiao Family Old Mansion.

"It’s already late, stay the night before you go," offered Situ Xin, noting the late hour. Although she wasn’t worried about their safety, it was getting late, and it wouldn’t be improper for Situ Muli and the others to rest for the night before leaving.
