Be Gentle, My Master

Baili Xia started to struggle in Mu Xiaojiu's arms, her reluctance clear to anyone.

But Mr. Xiaojiu just loosely slung an arm around her waist, and the girl found herself completely unable to break free.

The current situation was somewhat eerie, in the conference room, at the head of the conference table, the man and the woman...

No one dared to speak, the conference room was quiet, except for Baili Xia's weak protests, there was nothing else.

Manager Su and even Mr. Qi wished they could remind her that the man holding her was Mr. Xiaojiu, Mr. Xiaojiu! Not a man she could afford to offend.

But, if Mr. Xiaojiu himself wasn't speaking, how dare they?

Moreover, Mr. Xiaojiu didn't seem to be angry at all, when he lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his arms, there was even a hint of a smile in them.

"What? Is the report over already?" Ye Hua sat next to Mu Xiaojiu, sharp gaze falling on the Market Manager.

Dong Yifei stiffened, a cold sweat once again breaking out.

Was it... inappropriate to continue discussing the project at this time?

But, Mr. Ye Hua had already spoken, regardless of whether it was appropriate or not, they could only grit their teeth and carry on.

Dong Yifei continued to introduce the details of the project to Mu Xiaojiu, occasionally sneaking glances at him.

But all Mu Xiaojiu saw from start to finish was little Baili Xia, who was now making an effort to quiet herself down.

Although she was still scared of this man, she believed, in a serious conference room, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he wouldn't dare do anything to her.

After a report that was not too long nor short, the last part of the content was finally clarified.

The attention of everyone locked back onto Mu Xiaojiu, who was only staring at Baili Xia, his deep, ink-colored eyes hiding many complicated things, but there was a gleam of pleasure.

However, he made no comment about the project.

No one spoke and the silence brought the uneasy atmosphere back.

After a few seconds, suddenly, his thin lips moved, "Get out."

Everyone was taken aback, completely unable to react.

He was looking at Baili Xia when he said "get out." Those words... were meant for Baili Xia, right?

Baili Xia let out a big sigh of relief and was about to get off his lap, but unexpectedly, the iron-like arm around her waist instantly tightened a few degrees.

"You..."

"Did I say you?" His lips curled again, and a somewhat cunning glint flickered in his eyes.

The next second, all the Shengyi management present, stood up in a fraction of a second.

Scanned by Ye Hua's cold eyes, they rushed for the door in panic.

Mr. Xiaojiu was clearing the room! If they lingered for two seconds longer, they might not be able to leave alive.

So they stumbled and clumsily hurried out, even knocking over a few chairs.

Baili Xia watched as the last department manager dashed out ahead of Ye Hua, and then even Ye Hua himself left.

She continued to struggle, but she could never escape Mu Xiaojiu's iron-like arm.

The moment the door to the conference room was closed, she was so scared she almost fainted.

"Let go, let go..." She desperately pushed at Mu Xiaojiu, but unfortunately, her strength wasn't even enough to tickle him.

Instead, due to the man's hard body, she hit him so hard that her own little hands turned red.

"Let go! Let...ah! What are you doing? Let me go! Don't..."

As she screamed in fear, the man suddenly stood holding her and threw her onto the large conference table...
