Chapter 1543: Wandered Into the Wrong Room by Mistake
When Shi Sinan saw Ning Shu ignoring her, she was furious. She took her things and stormed out of Ning Shu’s room.
Ning Shu didn’t go to coax Shi Sinan. After all, she was not her actual mother who would indulge her, so she did not feel distressed.
After Shi Sinan left, Ning Shu set up the Spirit Gathering Formation in the house, then started her cultivation.
Shi Sinan was the protagonist and couldn’t die anyway. Instead, a cannon fodder like her was always the unlucky one, so she must strengthen herself.
When Shi Sinan returned to her bedroom and turned on the light, she saw Xi Mucheng lying on her bed. Three of his shirt buttons were unbuttoned, revealing a muscular chest.
Her uncle’s head was resting on her pillow, and for some reason, when Shi Sinan saw this scene, she felt that he was seriously sexy.
The temperature in the house felt so high all of a sudden. The blood in her body was boiling, making her sweat, and she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.
Why did it feel like she had wandered into the wrong room by mistake when it was her own room?
Shi Sinan couldn’t think straight and stammered, “U-Uncle, Uncle, why, why are you in my room?”
Xi Mucheng raised his hand to block the light, looked around, and lifted his brows. “This is your room? Sorry. Seems like I got into the wrong room.”
Shi Sinan waved her hand. “It’s fine, Uncle. Just head back to your own room.”
Xi Mucheng sat up and leaned back. As he propped himself up with his hand, his shirt reflected his shapely muscles, and he said indifferently, “My legs hurt. Come over here and help me.”
Shi Sinan made her way to the bedside and reached out to help him.
With a smile, Xi Mucheng tugged on Shi Sinan’s arm and effortlessly pulled her into his arms.
Xi Mucheng’s arm wrapped around Shi Sinan’s waist. Their bodies were pressed tightly together, and their heat radiated out through their clothes.
Shi Sinan was first confused, staring blankly at Xi Mucheng’s face. They were so close it felt suffocating as their breaths entwined.
As if she was scalded, Shi Sinan jumped away, her expression a mess. She stammered and shouted, “Uncle… Uncle.”
Shi Sinan felt as if she was sick. Whenever she saw Xi Mucheng, there was always an uneasy feeling in her heart that made her flee from him. Yet, she couldn’t help but get close to Xi Mucheng.
Xi Mucheng hooked his lips and looked at Shi Sinan. “What’s wrong? You can’t even help your uncle?”
Shi Sinan controlled her urge to flee from the room, but she didn’t dare to get close to Xi Mucheng. She had a stupid stunned expression as she stood rooted in place.
When Xi Mucheng saw that Shi Sinan was about to cry, he asked, “Did you encounter something troubling?”
Immediately, Shi Sinan’s shoulders slumped, and she said, “Mom is sending me abroad.”
Xi Mucheng’s eyes became stern for a moment, then he asked softly, “Does Sinan want to go?”
Shi Sinan shook her head. “I don’t. I don’t know anyone abroad, and it’s so far away. I’m a little scared.”
Xi Mucheng quirked his lips. “I can help you.”
Shi Sinan looked at Xi Mucheng with her eyes opened wide and asked, “Uncle, what will you do?”
“Go find your grandfather. I’ll be there to speak for you,” Xi Mucheng said while getting up from the bed.
Shi Sinan ran over and hugged Xi Mucheng’s neck. She jumped while chirping, “Thank you, Uncle. You’re so nice.”
Xi Mucheng lowered his head slightly. He took in Shi Sinan’s body scent, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a dark smile.
Shi Sinan found that her hugging her uncle was inappropriate in hindsight, so she hastily released Xi Mucheng’s neck. She was red-faced and at a loss for words. “I’m sorry. I, I didn’t mean to.”
Xi Mucheng smiled and said, “Uncle likes Shi Sinan’s closeness.”
