Chapter 779: Chapter 757 Timing Is Not Right (1)_1

Gu Lili, unable to speak and only able to emit a "buzzing" noise, had her eyes bulge alarmingly when Xiao Muli appeared, carrying Situ Xin in his arms. She seemed to wish she could stare holes through both Situ Xin and Xiao Muli.

The hope that had been absent from her heart now flared with intense unwillingness. Why, why could this woman Situ Xin, who came out of nowhere, receive such tenderness from Xiao Muli, while she, because of this woman’s appearance, had fallen from heaven straight into hell.

Her superior family background was gone, the princess who had been doted on by her family. In a single night, she was loathed by her own family members—one after another they blamed her, claiming it was all because of her that the Gu Family had ended up in such a state.

And when Xiao Muli issued an order for his men to take her away, she knew that she was truly finished. But oh, how she couldn’t accept it. However, she also knew that, even if she couldn’t accept it, even if she struggled, the end result awaiting her would be the same.

Therefore, when Xiao Muli’s men, with not a hint of gentleness, lifted her from the corner of the wall, she didn’t resist at all. Actually, even if she had wanted to struggle, with her body in its current state, she couldn’t.

However, as Xiao Muli’s men were escorting Gu Lili past Xiao Muli and Situ Xin, Gu Lili glared at Situ Xin with eyes full of hatred. If looks could kill, Situ Xin would have already been slain by her gaze.

Situ Xin didn’t care in the slightest about the way Gu Lili looked at her. After all, Gu Lili would no longer appear before her in the future, and it could also be said that it would be difficult for Gu Lili to even survive this ordeal.

Because Gu Lili was now a discard of the Gu Family, the underworld organization in Hong Kong. To be a discard meant to be useless, someone they did not want to exist. Hence, even if in the end, Xiao Muli’s men spared Gu Lili, neither the Gu Family nor the Hong Kong underworld organization wanted Gu Lili to live well.

Therefore, there was only one possible outcome for Gu Lili, and there could only be this one.

And to Xiao Muli, what was there to take into account about someone akin to a dead person?

However, clearly, Xiao Muli thought differently than Situ Xin. When he saw the look Gu Lili gave Situ Xin, the murderous intent in his heart bubbled up uncontrollably. If he hadn’t been holding Situ Xin in his arms, he would surely have gone forward to grab Gu Lili to let her know the consequences of looking at his woman with such eyes.

Ultimately, Xiao Muli couldn’t hold back. He said to his underlings, "Take good ’care’ of Miss Gu."

The meaning behind that sentence, Xiao Muli’s men understood it all too well, and Xiao Muli’s through-gritted-teeth tone made them wonder what on earth this woman had done to make their boss so enraged.

"Yes, Master, we understand. We will take good ’care’ of Miss Gu," replied his men. No matter how curious they were about what Gu Lili did to provoke their master Xiao Muli, they had to comply 100% with their master’s orders.

Moreover, they knew that the incident from last night when their master Xiao Muli had been drugged was directly related to the miss of the Gu Family. Not only that, but they also knew exactly what Gu Lili had in mind.

They held great contempt and disdain for this Gu Family miss, who thought she could climb into their master’s bed using such despicable means.

Looking at Gu Lili, who had no image to speak of, and then at the celestial-like Situ Xin, it was clear who was superior. Any clear-headed person would not choose Gu Lili, who lacked any semblance of image.

Xiao Muli’s men took Gu Lili away hastily.

After everyone had left, only Situ Xin, Xiao Muli, Baibai, and Xiao Muli’s assistant remained.

Baibai saw that its mission was accomplished perfectly and was not pleased with Xiao Muli for continuously monopolizing its master. Baibai growled at Xiao Muli, the growl meaning that Xiao Muli should quickly put its master on its back—it wanted to carry its master.

But how could Xiao Muli listen to Baibai? He had finally gotten the chance to carry Situ Xin in his arms like a princess. How could he be willing to let her go? Besides, he wanted to carry Situ Xin downstairs and show off in front of everyone, letting them all know the relationship between him and Situ Xin.

When Baibai saw that Xiao Muli didn’t show the slightest intention of returning its master, it immediately got upset. It glared at Xiao Muli with fierce eyes, almost as if it would slap Xiao Muli away if he didn’t hand Situ Xin over.

Xiao Muli’s assistant, who had previously witnessed Baibai’s capabilities, was alarmed by Baibai’s sudden aggression towards his boss and his heart leaped to his throat. He didn’t understand what got into Baibai, fearing that it might roar away his boss just like it did with Gu Lili earlier.

No matter what thoughts ran through the mind of Xiao Muli’s assistant, Xiao Muli himself did not take Baibai’s growls and threats seriously. He taunted Baibai with a child-like expression in his eyes that read, "I won’t give her to you no matter what, Baby is mine and has nothing to do with you."

Situ Xin, seeing the child-like behavior of both man and tiger, was quite exasperated. She didn’t want to be caught in the middle between the two. She looked at Baibai with a hint of a headache. Now it was daytime, and honestly, to head out now with Baibai’s enormous size would be too conspicuous. If they were to go out, they would surely make the newspaper headlines tomorrow. So, she instructed, "If you want to come with me, quickly revert to your usual form. Otherwise, you’ll just have to stay here, and wait until nighttime to find me."

No sooner had Situ Xin finished speaking than Baibai immediately transformed back to its usual self, cuddling in Situ Xin’s arms.

Xiao Muli’s assistant, witnessing Baibai shrinking down to the size of a pet cat, was momentarily stunned, swallowing hard after a long while. And by the time he snapped back to reality, his boss had already disappeared, carrying Situ Xin along with Baibai.
