Be Gentle, My Master

Baili Xia’s round eyes were wide, staring at Mu Xiaojiu’s perfect face.

Because she was so shocked, her voice even trembled, “Uncle, he…

he calls you Boss, he…

he thinks you are…”

“What’s so strange about that?” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t even move a brow, still holding her as they walked.

“Previously when I didn’t like to socialize, Xiaoyao would occasionally go and stir things up for me, and nobody would say anything.”

“…”Baili Xia’s eyes widened even more.

Brother had once impersonated Uncle?

But now that she saw him, a younger-looking Uncle really did resemble Brother.

Both had similarly tall and slender figures, with legs that held a perfect golden ratio of length.

Their hair was neither long nor short, and as for their hairstyle, when they didn’t need to attend any events, it was casually tended.

Even Baili Xia often wondered if Uncle and Brother even properly combed their hair before leaving the house in the morning.

It was all disheveled yet not messy, very casual.

She had every reason to believe that these two lazybones just randomly used their fingers to comb through their hair a couple of times, then hurriedly went out.

As for certain occasions, Uncle might occasionally groom his bangs meticulously.

If at such events, Brother styled his bangs like Uncle’s and wore a pair of sunglasses or something.

From a bit of a distance, it really was hard to tell them apart.

Just like now, Uncle, dressed like a young man, could easily be mistaken for Brother.

It was just too normal.

Their face shapes, upon closer inspection, really did look seven or eight parts similar.

Seemingly reminded of something by that boy, Mu Xiaojiu walked several steps, then pulled out his phone.

After turning it on, dozens of missed calls immediately showed up on the screen.

He didn’t care, his long finger dialed a certain number.

Not knowing what the other person said, Mu Xiaojiu’s thin lips slightly parted.

“No worries, tell them I’m at your place and will return to Sihai Residence tonight.”

Afterward, he disconnected the call and immediately turned off his phone.

Baili Xia pondered his words, still guessing whom he had just called, when her own phone in her bag started to ring.

Looking at it, she saw it was Brother’s number and immediately understood.

Under Mu Xiaojiu’s threatening gaze, she could only reluctantly say, “I’m accompanying him to walk around, we’ll return to Mu Mansion soon… I know, I won’t let him mess around… Mmh, don’t worry, I understand… okay, will be back as soon as possible.”

Finally, under Mu Xiaojiu’s increasingly impatient gaze, she ended the call as shortly as possible.

Looking up and glaring at him, she still couldn’t help but complain.

“Do you know how anxious everyone has been with you disappearing?

Uncle, can you stop being so capricious like a child next time?

It scares people, you know?”

“You’re calling me a child?” Mu Xiaojiu was clearly displeased with the label.

With a frown, he suddenly lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and spoke in a highly seductive voice, “Can a child pin you down and make you cry and beg for mercy?”

“…”

“If you keep nagging, do you believe I’ll find a place right now and make you cry?”

“I’m not nagging!” Baili Xia’s heart panicked, and she immediately covered her thin lips, “Mmph, I’ll stop talking.”

Isn’t it okay if I stop talking!
