Chapter 710 - 706: Toss and Turn (2)_1
And yet, after making all these arrangements, Situ Muli still felt uneasy. So, after much consideration, he decided to call Situ Xin to inform her. He wanted her to be aware and stay alert at the Xiao Family’s gathering tomorrow.
The movements of the Xiao Family’s collateral branches and the aristocratic families associated with them were all within Situ Xin’s expectations. Since their target was the position of the Xiao Family’s matriarch, they would surely pay special attention to the girl who had suddenly appeared by Family Head Xiao Muli’s side.
But no matter how much attention they paid, there were some things they couldn’t pry into. If they entertained fanciful notions, they would have to pay a price.
After hanging up the phone with Situ Muli, Situ Xin turned her head and saw Xiao Muli sitting on the bed with only a bath towel wrapped around his lower body, his bare torso exposed, looking at Situ Xin with an almost reproachful expression. Situ Xin glanced at him and, her face flushing, quickly turned away.
"How can you just come out like this?" Situ Xin said, looking elsewhere.
Xiao Muli looked down at his attire, then at the bashful Situ Xin, and said with a smile, "Baby, what’s wrong with me? This is how I always dress after a shower."
"But today it’s not just you in the room. Hurry up and go get dressed," said Situ Xin, waving her hand at him to hurry him along.
Xiao Muli knew he had to take teasing in stride; otherwise, if he really annoyed Situ Xin, he would be the one to suffer. So, obediently, he got up and changed into his pajamas.
"All right, Baby, I’m dressed now. You can turn around," Xiao Muli said, though he had already approached Situ Xin. As Situ Xin turned around, her lips brushed against Xiao Muli’s cheek.
