However, the man opposite her ignored her altogether. He said flatly in a cold and husky voice, “Sure.”

Qiao Mu’s heart sank immediately.

‘Damn it, this man is obviously deliberately making things difficult for me!’

…..

Yu Tingyun headed to the kitchen and enthusiastically instructed the nanny to prepare a feast. Qiao Ya sat beside Li Yan and tried to get close to him. She kept calling him “uncle”, as if she knew him very well.

Qiao Mu was sitting opposite them, and she vigilantly observed Li Yan’s every action.

All right, she had to admit that this man was tremendously handsome. His facial features were exquisite and prominent. He also emanated a cold as well as noble aura from the inside out, and every single movement of his was elegant and kingly.

When Li Yan was younger, he was also so handsome that he looked like a prince from a fairytale. However, he did not use to be so manly and mature. He had also acquired a cold and indifferent aura over the years.

Even though there was always a faint hint of a smile on his face, there was a perpetual iciness in his dark orbs. Hence, Qiao Mu could not help but feel anxious every time she saw him.

Qiao Mu was enjoying the sight of the handsome man before him. This was when she realized that someone was looking at him, and she could barely ignore it. She raised her head and met eyes with Li Yan. His gaze was fixed on her!

Qiao Mu was shocked, and she immediately lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

Qiao Ya was acting so enthusiastically that her body was almost touching that of Li Yan’s. Qiao Mu twisted her lips. ‘So what if he’s your uncle by blood?’

This was when Li Yan rose. Qiao Ya suddenly stopped speaking when she saw this. She raised her head dumbfoundedly. “Uncle?”

There was a cold expression on Li Yan’s face as he said, “I don’t like people getting too near to me. I’m a germaphobe.”

Qiao Ya’s face immediately turned red. No one had ever insulted her like this!

She was the eldest daughter of the Qiao household, and everyone had always doted on her. She had plenty of admirers at school, and many of her colleagues also tried to please her all the time. She did not expect her birth uncle to insult her like this.

This uncle of hers had never been fond of her ever since she was young. She did not mind if an ordinary person did not like her, but Li Yan had always been an outstanding person. Moreover, he was now one of the most renowned businessmen in Beijing. The Li family was a lot more powerful compared to the Qiao family. Of course she wanted to get close to Li Yan!

Qiao Mu burst out laughing, but she realized that it was not the right time to do so and stopped immediately. “Uncle, my older sister isn’t dirty at all! How can you think that she isn’t clean?”

The moment Qiao Mu said this, Qiao Ya’s expression became even darker. “Qiao Mu, you better shut up!”

Li Yan looked at the young woman’s countenance, which was arrogant and innocent at the same time, and thought about what a little fox she was.

Qiao Ya often bullied her when she was a little girl. When that happened, she would sadly tell Li Yan about it. However, she was now a cunning little fox who could easily defeat Qiao Ya.

Li Yan turned and left. Qiao Mu could not help but feel pleasantly surprised. “Uncle, are you leaving now?”

Li Yan turned and said something that disappointed Qiao Mu very much. “I’m heading to the bathroom to wash up.”

Qiao Mu twisted her lips and said, relishing in her stepsister’s misfortune, “Uncle, my older sister isn’t a germ carrier. You don’t have to do this.”

Qiao Ya’s expression changed, and she glared furiously at Qiao Mu. “Shut up. If you don’t want to stay here for dinner just leave now. Stop being an eyesore here!”

There was an innocent expression on Qiao Mu’s face. “Big sister, why are you so angry? I’m just helping you out! I need to go back to my room to wash up too. I’ll come downstairs for dinner later.”

Qiao Mu talked about how hungry she was as she headed upstairs. She was feeling pleased with herself.

…..

Qiao Mu did not return to her room. She headed sneakily to the bathroom and when she saw that there was no one around, she dashed into the bathroom.
