Chapter 1000

In an instant, the table cracked open with a massive fissure, and everything on it, tools and even medicines, were sent flying through the air.

“Uncle!” Mu Xiaoyao was terrified, having never seen Uncle so angry before.

Fearing that the flying objects from the medical table might hit Baili Xia, he lunged forward with a stride of his long legs, placing his own body in front of her to shield her.

Something hit his back and quickly bounced off.

He felt a wave of relief, thankful that he had made it in time.

After the dust settled, he turned his head to look at Mu Xiaojiu, and a tightness seized his chest.

“Uncle, what are you doing? She has a child in her belly, aren’t you afraid of hurting her?”

Mu Xiaojiu gave a cold snort, his gaze shifting past him to look at Baili Xia.

He sneered disdainfully, “Carrying another man’s child and trying to pass it off as my son, not killing her is already the greatest mercy I could show her.”

His words were like heartless swords, repeatedly stabbing into Baili Xia’s heart.

She laughed again, a heartless, carefree laugh, slowly sitting up from the sickbed to look at him.

“Are you so certain that the child in my belly belongs to another man? Why do you convict me without even investigating?”

A pale smile spread from the corner of her lips as her heart throbbed violently; it throbbed with blood.

But that calm façade completely extinguished the intensely painful feelings.

“Why do you rush to judge me?

Are you impotent, or are you too scared to admit it, fearing the child will become an obstacle for you?”

But Mu Xiaojiu remained unmoved and cold: “I’ve said it before, this child isn’t mine.

You better tell me the truth, whose bastard did you carry here?”

“You…” Baili Xia’s palms clenched tightly, even her calm was on the verge of snapping from his words.

Nangong Xu strode over, standing in front of Mu Xiaojiu and glancing back at him.

That silent look turned into a plea.

Then turning back to Baili Xia, he hesitated before speaking with resignation, “I regularly administer acupuncture to Mr.

Xiaojiu, he…

doesn’t have the opportunity to get you pregnant.”

“What do you mean?” The smile slowly faded from Baili Xia’s lips.

Looking up at Nangong Xu, her voice trembled even more.

“Master, don’t deceive me, what…

what do you mean?”

“Perhaps, there’s a one in ten million chance, but you should be clear on my acupuncture skills, compared to…”

Nangong Xu paused, and when he looked at her again, his eyes were very complex.

“Compared to other contraceptive methods, I am confident that my technique is more efficient and effective.”

“No, that’s impossible! The child in my belly is indeed his; it simply can’t be!”

Agitated, she stretched out her hand, pointing at Mu Xiaojiu with trembling fingers.

“It’s his, I haven’t been with any other men; I haven’t, I really haven’t!”

Mu Xiaojiu finally calmed down as well, his palm still clenched, but at least the beastly murderous aura in his eyes had faded considerably.

Looking at Baili Xia again, the girl was panic-stricken, her lips pale, her hands trembling incessantly.

After calming down and seeing her like this, his heart was once again painfully wrenched.

He took a deep breath, struggling to pull his gaze away from her, then suddenly turned and walked towards the door.

“Have her thoroughly checked, let her stay here, she doesn’t need to go back to the main house.”

He was leaving, walking away.

But the words “thoroughly checked” terrified Baili Xia; was he thinking about having her child aborted?

He wouldn’t keep the child, because he simply didn’t believe!
