Chapter 1031

Nangong Xu didn’t directly answer Baili Xia’s question; in fact, he couldn’t answer it.

“Actually, I don’t know what Mr. Xiaojiu wants to do either, I just know he told me to take care of you here until you give birth to the child.”

He leaned on the desk, looking at her, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke softly.

“Perhaps I can understand Mr.

Xiaojiu’s actions.

He is very angry, indeed very angry, but he…”

After a pause, he continued, “He can’t bear to hurt you, but the child in your belly…”

“The child in my belly is his!

Why won’t you believe that?”

Baili Xia glared at him, but under his indifferent gaze, she gradually calmed down.

Okay then, the master gave Uncle acupuncture; she really had no reason to carry his child, but the fact remains.

Never mind, there is no answer to be found by dwelling on this question.

But, is Uncle really planning to keep her child?

Suddenly thinking of something, her face turned pale again, staring at Nangong Xu, her fingertips tensing ever so tightly.

“Is he, is he planning to use my child?”

“You’re thinking too harshly of Mr. Xiaojiu. You’re too guarded against him.” Nangong Xu said, feeling helpless.

“What if it were you? Knowing he brought me back to the Mu family with an agenda, that he wanted to use me, would you be able to have absolutely no guard up?”

Baili Xia cut him off, her heart aching even as she spoke.

But what could she do?

It was the reality!

Nangong Xu didn’t know how to respond; Mr.

Xiaojiu did indeed have ulterior motives in finding her.

If he were Baili Xia…

He felt helpless, refusing to think too deeply about the question.

Because he realized, if he were her, he wouldn’t just be suspicious; perhaps he would have already started investigating.

The reason Baili Xia hasn’t investigated Mr.

Xiaojiu is firstly that she doesn’t have the power to do so, and secondly, deep down, she still harbors a glimmer of hope for Mr.

Xiaojiu.

She does have feelings for Mr.

Xiaojiu, but the child in her belly…

He turned back and continued packing her things.

Not knowing how to explain or resolve the issue, they could only wait.

But Baili Xia couldn’t wait, being asked to give birth here, in such a passive situation, how could she wait?

In case Uncle really did intend to use her child…

She didn’t really want to think so ill of him, but the truth was, the situation was unfavorable to her.

She was passive everywhere, yet she was expected to give birth to a child next to a man who didn’t trust her; how could she dare?

Sensing that she was still tensing up, Nangong Xu’s voice remained soft.

“No matter what, let’s give birth to the child first.

Since Mr.

Xiaojiu is willing to give him a chance to live, why not seize this opportunity?”

“And after he’s born?

What does he plan to do with us after that?”

The mere thought of entrusting the child’s fate to a man who did not trust her made her restless, utterly unable to sit still.

She had to leave this place, she had to find a place where no one knew her, and peacefully give birth to her child on her own.

She could be used by Uncle, but not her child; the child absolutely could not!

“Xiaxia, you can’t escape from here.”

Nangong Xu walked over to the suitcase, took out the remaining little creature, and went into the bathroom.

It took a while to tidy everything up, and only then did he come out from the bathroom, looking at the girl who was still pale-faced sitting on the bed.

“If I were you, during this time I would try to endear myself to Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Mr.

Xiaojiu isn’t as heartless as you think, he’s a person who values loyalty very much.”

“Don’t make him angry, at least, it keeps the child safe.”

She laughed though, “What if it makes him angry?”
