Chapter 1065

Lately, Uncle frequently took her to the training ground to watch the brothers train.

Although everyone still held doubts about her identity, they generally believed that she was Mr.

Xiaojiu’s woman.

As Mr.

Xiaojiu’s woman, she was destined to be the future mistress of this island—who would dare disrespect her?

Every brother on the entire island who knew her treated her with great respect.

Even Lei Ting, who had initially been cold as ice, now looked at her with a certain detachment, but at least he wasn’t cold anymore.

As they walked past the training ground, everyone was training diligently.

Baili Xia didn’t disturb them, and continued to stroll casually along the small path beside the training ground.

But today, her stomach really seemed to be hurting…

…

Today Nangong Xu had gone to the medicinal storehouse to select medicinal herbs.

Every few days, he would visit the medicinal storehouse to pick the best medicinal diets for Baili Xia.

Every single ginseng and every bowl of bird’s nest that Baili Xia consumed was personally selected by him; he never delegated this task to anyone else.

However, this time when he got back, he discovered that Baili Xia’s room was empty.

It was only three in the afternoon; usually, at this time, she was still sleeping.

He wondered if every pregnant woman was like this, especially sleepy—according to the information he found online, that was definitely the case.

Baili Xia was particularly sleepy.

Every time, it was Nangong Xu who had to wake her up, and only then would she groggily come to.

But now, it was only three, where could she be?

Just as he was about to leave to look for her, Mu Xiaoyao, who had already changed his clothes, entered.

Seeing Nangong Xu about to leave but not seeing Baili Xia, surprise flashed in Mu Xiaoyao’s eyes, “Where is that girl?”

Nangong Xu had originally wanted to ask if he was with Baili Xia.

Now there was no need to ask.

“I’m going out to look for her, she might have woken up and felt stuffy, so went for a walk by herself.”

Nangong Xu passed by him and headed straight outside.

Lately, life had been too idle; it wasn’t just Baili Xia who felt bored, he felt much the same.

As for Baili Xia, mornings were for studying, and afternoons and evenings for resting, fortunately, she could still learn some medical techniques from him, or else she would be even more bored.

Lately, the girl seemed particularly interested in the techniques for circulating energy through the meridians.

She kept pestering him to teach her.

Having learned a few sets of techniques, he taught carefully, and she learned diligently; indeed, she learned quite quickly.

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t stay in the apartment; his afternoon was also particularly idle.

Since Nangong Xu was heading out, he followed as well, taking the opportunity to check if the brothers at the training ground were putting their hearts into it.

Unexpectedly, as they arrived at the rest area lobby, they ran into Mu Xiaojiu, who was just returning.

Seeing both men appear without the girl, Mu Xiaojiu’s brow furrowed slightly.

Nangong Xu immediately explained, “She woke up early today, probably went out for a walk.”

Seeing Mu Xiaoyao carrying a notebook and hurrying, Mu Xiaoyao said lightly, “Uncle should go back to his work first.

I’ll let her return to the apartment after I find her.”

“Good.” Mu Xiaojiu indeed still had a lot of things to handle; after a long meeting, he hadn’t even eaten before he rushed back on a speedboat.

He hadn’t expected to be delayed so long when he’d said he’d be back by noon.

After the meeting ended, there were still many things to take care of.

He had already handled some on the speedboat, but there were still plenty of matters remaining.

He passed through the lobby and went inside, Ye Hua silently followed him, his expression slightly grim.

Although both Mu Xiaoyao and Nangong Xu could see this grimness, since Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t mention it, it wasn’t their place to ask.
