Chapter 707 - 703 Sharing a Bed (1)_1
Situ Xin watched as Xiao Muli was stunned by her peck of a kiss and felt extremely happy. Holding Baibai, she left the dazed Xiao Muli behind and walked toward the house.
Coming back to his senses, Xiao Muli’s mouth curled into a smile, a sweet smile on his face as he unconsciously caressed the cheek where Situ Xin had kissed him. He then quickened his pace, caught up with Situ Xin, reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist, gently leaned down, and whispered in Situ Xin’s ear, "Baby, this is the first time you’ve kissed me on your own initiative, and I’m very happy. Remember though, next time you kiss me, don’t kiss my cheek, you should kiss my lips."
After speaking, Xiao Muli mimicked Situ Xin’s action from earlier and lightly kissed her lips, just a brush, well aware how shy his Baby was about such matters. In Xiao Family Mansion, where there were many servants, his Baby wouldn’t like their intimate actions to be seen by others, and he preferred to keep such intimacy for times when they were alone.
"Baby, you have to do it like this next time," Xiao Muli said, only to receive a soft punch on his chest. Of course, this punch from Situ Xin was gentle and barely a tap.
"Mind the image," Situ Xin said, and without further arguments with Xiao Muli, she walked inside with Baibai, asking on the way, "Where will I be staying tonight?"
"Just follow me," Xiao Muli said naturally as he took Situ Xin’s hand and led her to his room, leaving behind a host of astonished expressions.
The news of Xiao Muli bringing a woman back to the Xiao Family Mansion spread rapidly among the servants of the vast estate, the Xiao Family collateral branches, and even several aristocratic families soon after he entered the mansion with Situ Xin.
This news caught many off guard. Each of them, who had prepared their various schemes, became anxious as they sought the source of the news to discover the truth behind the matter.
"What exactly is going on?" was the first question asked by members of the Xiao Family collateral branches and other aristocratic families to the spies they had called upon.
"We’ve just heard from the servants inside the Xiao Family Mansion that when Patriarch Xiao returned to the Mansion today, he drove himself, and there was a beautiful girl with him. Moreover, it was Patriarch Xiao who personally opened the car door for the girl. Seeing their intimacy, their relationship is not simple," the informants reported nervously, sweat forming on their backs.
"Be more specific," demanded the people from Xiao Family collateral branches and other prominent families, their faces darkening with the news. How could they not feel grim? From the moment they realized grabbing power from Xiao Muli was hopeless, they had placed all their hopes on securing the position of Xiao Family matron. After all the time, effort, and money they had invested, now at the critical moment, a surprise player had emerged, and their mood couldn’t possibly be good.
