Chapter 1444

“Why don’t you go to Nangong Xu for such a serious injury?”

Seeing Baili Xia’s condition, Guisu knew she hadn’t properly treated her wound.

Baili Xia shook her head and slowly said, “I can’t go.”

“Why not?”

“It’s nothing, just let me sit for a while and I’ll be fine,” Baili Xia replied softly.

Looking at her frail yet stubborn little face, Guisu’s large hand clenched tightly.

Even though she didn’t say it, Guisu already knew the reason.

Baili Xia was worried that if people knew about her injury, they would blame him again.

She…

didn’t want people to hold a grudge against him, but she didn’t know he never feared being held accountable.

“Come, I’ll take you to Nangong Xu.” He grabbed her wrist.

“No… I can’t go, cough, cough, cough…”

Startled by him, Baili Xia coughed even more forcefully, her face turning a deep red from coughing.

Guisu really couldn’t do anything with her.

This girl seemed delicate, but her character was very stubborn.

Once she was stubborn, probably only that one person in the world could make her yield.

Mu Xiaojiu, perhaps?

Having seen her interactions with her “Uncle,” Guisu had to admit that only Mu Xiaojiu could truly tame her.

“Cough, cough, cough… I’m not going, Guisu, let go… cough, cough…”

Baili Xia was still struggling, trying to pull her hand back from his big grasp.

Guisu stared at her increasingly flushed face, and eventually, he released her hand.

“I won’t force you, stop coughing, breathe easy.”

This bout of severe coughing made him…

feel very uncomfortable.

His large hand fell on her back, gently patting her.

If he used even slightly more force, he feared he would accidentally hurt her.

He didn’t know how long it took, but the coughing stopped, and Baili Xia felt much better, her complexion calming down.

“I’m sorry.” Once Baili Xia was finally better, Guisu spoke softly again, his voice trembling slightly.

Guisu sat back on the sofa, looked at Baili Xia, and said firmly, “You should still go to Nangong Xu, I fear nothing else.”

Baili Xia was slightly stunned.

She knew this cold and resolute man very well.

Indeed, even if it meant going against everyone, he didn’t care.

But she couldn’t ignore his safety.

Baili Xia casually responded with a hum and then changed the topic.

“Guisu, I want to ask you something,” Baili Xia said seriously.

“Why does Sima Liuyue use hypnotism?

She wants to hypnotize you, which shows how she feels about you.

You shouldn’t go back to her, why not leave her, okay?”

“She…” Guisu hesitated slightly, unsure of how to explain these things to Baili Xia.

Although, after being hypnotized, he already knew that Sima Liuyue was actually Lu Xuening, he couldn’t reveal this to anyone yet.

As soon as he said it, Lu Xuening would certainly die.

Lu Xuening told him he hadn’t repaid the kindness from their childhood yet, and once he did, she would let him go.

Even though Lu Xuening once tried to harm him, he still couldn’t let go.

You can be heartless to me, but I cannot be unrighteous to you.

He had always been this kind of person.

“I…

don’t know where she learned it from.” After a pause, Guisu continued, “I can’t leave her right now.”

Baili Xia could see his hesitation as he spoke, clearly hiding something.

He had words in his heart, but he just wouldn’t say them.
