continuously dripped from it, staining the ground as he walked."Let's go."Shen Yi got up and walked toward the stairs, Mu Xing followed behind him holding an ice cream cake.The man on the second floo...Shen Yue drove extremely fast all the way and returned to the manor before Fu Lingxiao arrived home.

Wu, the butler, had been anxiously waiting at the villa entrance. Seeing Mu Xing return, he let out a long sigh of relief and reached out to take her hand. "My little darling, when did you go out Why didn't you tell your uncle I was so worried!"

Mu Xing giggled, "I went shopping with my classmates, Uncle, don't worry."

As the two were speaking, a convoy of vehicles slowly drove into the estate and stopped at the villa's front door.

The car door opened, and a man in a black suit got out of the car. Mu Xing immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms, "Uncle Xiao, you're back!"

Fu Lingxiao took off his black gloves and rubbed the little girl's head, his gaze falling on the backpack on her back. "Baby, have you been out"

Mu Xing's heart skipped a beat, then she immediately lifted her chin and smiled: "Yeah, shopping with classmates."

Fu Lingxiao had no doubt about him and took her hand to lead her into the room.

Shen Lue parked his car in the garage and went back upstairs, holding his laptop on the roof. He blacked into the hospital's intranet, erased all of Mu Xing's medical records, and then sent a message to his grandfather, Fu Ye:

"Master Fu, Little Star wants me to take her to Suiyuan County to find Lu Yuan. She's very anxious. I told her that Lu Yuan isn't in Suiyuan County and someone is already looking for him."

Fu Lingxiao had just returned to the master bedroom and was about to take a shower when he saw the message. His deep eyes darkened, and he silently deleted the message, put down his phone, and looked at Mu Xing.

The little girl sat obediently on the sofa, her big, bright eyes fixed on him.

He keenly sensed that her gaze was different from any time before, unusually focused, even greedy, as if she wanted to etch his image into her heart.

This feeling, he should like it, but for some reason, he feels uneasy.

He unbuttoned half his shirt and buttoned it back up, holding the little one in his arms, and softly asked: "Baby, why are you looking at me like that Is something wrong"

Her man's extraordinary insight made Mu Xing's heart skip a beat. Afraid he'd see through her, she immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick peck on the cheek. "Little Uncle is too handsome, every time I see him I just want to kiss him."

Fu Lingxiao looked at the little person in his arms, acting coquettishly. The corners of his thin lips rose into a pleasant arc, "Okay, wait until I finish my shower, and let you kiss me enough."

Mu Xing nodded obediently, "Mmm, Uncle, go quickly!"

Fu Lingxiao put her down and walked into the bathroom.

Mu Xing let out a slight breath and looked at the closed bathroom door, thinking about how to talk to her uncle. She didn't want to waste any more time on Lu Yuan, nor did she want An Jia Mu to take risks, so she had to try her best to persuade her uncle to agree to use her as bait.

In a short while, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped.

The bathroom door opened and a man walked out, wiping his hair with a towel wrapped around his waist. Steam swirled around him, and the water droplets clinging to his body slid down his muscular lines with each step he took.

He walked over and sat on the sofa, tossing aside the hair towel. He pulled Mu Xing into his arms, "Baby, I'm done washing up, kiss me wherever you like."

Mu Xing proactively straddled the man's legs, her soft hands holding his handsome face, gently kissing his forehead, eyebrows, bridge of his nose, and finally his thin lips.

After realizing something was wrong with her body, she seemed to understand why her uncle would always stop abruptly at the most passionate moments. He was taking care of her body.

He must have been enduring a lot of hardship time and again.

Mu Xing's kiss was very light, yet it still made the man's heart flutter.

He loved this little thing so much, loving it to the point where he couldn't bear even the slightest touch. But when he thought of her grimacing in pain last night and enduring it with all her might, all his desires were overwhelmed by tenderness.

He couldn't bear to hurt her anymore, not even a little bit.

A long kiss, initiated by Mu Xing and ended by her, the man was just receiving her kiss from beginning to end.

Mu Xing moved her lips away, leaning against the man's strong chest, taking a light breath and carefully saying, "Uncle Xiao, I want to discuss something with you."

The man's deep eyes held hers, his thin lips curving into a faint smile. "Good," he said, "you speak."

A low, husky voice laced with laughter, a three-dimensional silhouette that stood out even more strikingly in the shifting light.

Mu Xing looked at him, inexplicably feeling a tickle in her throat. She swallowed and said, "It's been so long and we still haven't found Lu Yuan. I don't want to wait any longer, Uncle, can you agree to my previous suggestion"

The smile in the man's eyes instantly receded like a tide, his obsidian eyes sinking into the depths of the sea, leaving only endless darkness. "I told you last time, no."

"Uncle..."

Mu Xing hugged the man's neck and lightly bit his clean, sharp jaw, "Agree, okay"

Fu Lingxiao tightly pursed his thin lips, his eyes fixed on the little girl's delicate face. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be studded with starlight, her cute and charming appearance almost made him nod in agreement. Fortunately, the last shred of reason forcibly held him back.

He could promise her anything, even his life, but there was one thing he couldn't agree to. Back then, what happened to the Mu family, if Lu Yuan wasn't the only person who knew, once this little girl's identity was revealed, it would inevitably attract the attention of those who knew the truth.

Even the most rigorous defense can have a loophole. If the little girl found out about her father's involvement, she would definitely choose to leave. He would rather take a roundabout path, even if it took ten times or a hundred times more effort to investigate, than risk this.

"Uncle, promise me."

Mu Xing perseveres.

A soft, tender voice fell into his ears. Fu Lingxiao's eyes darkened, his heart calmed slightly, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "I will absolutely not agree to this. Don't bring it up again."

After saying that, he placed Mu Xing on the sofa and quickly walked toward the cloakroom.

He had no resistance to her coquettish ways. Facing her, all his emotions were laid bare: guilt, fear, helplessness...

Mu Xing looked at the man's flustered back, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

So, is there only one way left

When Fu Lingxiao changed into his home clothes and came out of the walk-in closet, he had already adjusted his emotions. He casually picked up Mu Xing, kissed her little face, and said, "Are you hungry Let's go have dinner."

Mu Xing obediently rested her little head on his neck.

If she couldn't find a way to deal with the toxin, her time...might be running out. She didn't want to waste such precious time quarreling with her uncle.

After dinner, the two ate fruit downstairs. Fu Lingxiao took Mu Xing upstairs and to their room. Mu Xing immediately hugged him, tilting her delicate face up at him with a pitiful look, "Uncle Xiao, I don't want to sleep apart from you." danger."Uncle"Mu Xing groped in the darkness, searching for Fu Lingxiao. Her soft voice echoed in the vast bedroom."Get out!"A man's violent voice suddenly rang out."Uncle!"Mu Xing's acute hearing pi...
