Chapter 724 - 716: Madam of the Xiao Family Head (2)_2
Situ Xin had indeed gotten it right. After many years of being together, even though Situ Muli was grateful to Situ Xin for rescuing him from the fire pit and admired her strength, throughout the years they had spent together with no mission at hand, Situ Muli often saw Situ Xin more as the only family he had in this world, as a sister.
As for Xing and the rest of The Dark Division’s members, while they didn’t have the same depth of feeling for Situ Xin as Situ Muli did, in their hearts, apart from when they were on duty for The Dark Division where Situ Xin was their Leader, at all other times, Situ Xin was like their collective little sister. This was mostly because all of these veterans from The Dark Division were, in fact, much older than Situ Xin.
"Baby, no one will bully you. I will protect you," Xiao Muli said, seeing Situ Xin looking reluctantly at The Dark Division’s car disappearing into the night. Assuming she was sad because of their departure, he leaned in close to Situ Xin’s ear and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"What? Do you also think I look easy to bully?" Situ Xin instantly bristled at Xiao Muli’s words. It seemed like everyone was treating her like a helpless little bunny. However, what Situ Xin didn’t understand was that the air of authority she thought she was exuding actually made her seem charming and adorably cute, and was utterly unrelated to any semblance of fierceness.
Xiao Muli couldn’t help but reach out with his free hand to ruffle Situ Xin’s hair as he looked at her adorably angry expression, then said with a tender look, "Our baby doesn’t look easy to bully at all," but his words were far from convincing.
Situ Xin huffed and turned her head away. She didn’t want to deal with someone who was being mean.
"Ahem, ahem," the group of elder statesmen of the Xiao Family, watching Situ Xin and Xiao Muli behave as if everyone else were just air, couldn’t help but pretend to cough to draw their attention.
"Third Uncle, what’s the matter? Do you have a sore throat? Should I call a doctor for you?" The Xiao Family Butler, originally watching the Family Head show a rare tender side instead of his usual aloof demeanor, was delightedly observing what he considered the consummation of a romantic relationship.
