In the end, Guisu still didn’t turn back, opened a crack in the window, and took a look.

After confirming that no one was there, he swiftly slipped out.

When Baili Xia reached the window and looked outside, there was no trace of Guisu.

Initially planning to go out and find something to eat, after chatting with Guisu for a while, Baili Xia surprisingly no longer felt hungry.

But now she felt that the injury in her chest seemed to have worsened due to the intense movements earlier, and it hurt terribly now.

It seems that if she doesn’t go to Nangong Xu for treatment, the injury might not heal anytime soon.

Previously, she only thought about keeping it a secret for Guisu, but if the wound doesn’t get better, it would eventually be noticed by others.

Finally, she made up her mind to go find Nangong Xu to take a look.

Perhaps, Nangong Xu could keep her secret.

Walking to Nangong Xu’s door, she knocked, and as expected, there was no one inside.

She took out her phone and sent Nangong Xu a message.

“Master, I need to talk to you, please come back to the room when you have time.”

After sending the message, she went downstairs and waited in the lobby.

In less than ten minutes, Nangong Xu returned.

Baili Xia could tell that he rushed back all the way, as he was still slightly out of breath upon arrival.

Her heart warmed, knowing well how much concern her master had for her.

“Master.” Baili Xia called softly.

“What’s the matter?” Nangong Xu, having calmed his breath a bit, asked lightly.

“Let’s talk in your room.”

Seeing that Baili Xia’s face seemed off, Nangong Xu nodded and headed directly upstairs.

Entering Nangong Xu’s room, he turned to look at Baili Xia.

“I’m injured.” Baili Xia glanced at Nangong Xu, her head slightly lowered.

“What happened?” Nangong Xu took two steps to her side, reached out to hold up her left hand, and checked her pulse.

“I was beaten, and my chest hurts a lot.”

Nangong Xu didn’t speak, keeping his hand on Baili Xia’s pulse, carefully feeling it.

After more than ten seconds, he released her hand, his voice somewhat low.

“Who did it? Nangong Yun’s people? Guisu?”

Baili Xia was stunned; she didn’t expect Nangong Xu would immediately guess that it was Guisu who did it.

But it was only for a moment; she quickly understood.

In the Bei Family, as a distinguished guest of Bei Tianyou, no one dared to lay a hand on Baili Xia.

Except for someone like Nangong Yun, who had a previous grudge with Baili Xia.

Judging by the injury, only Guisu could have possibly hurt Baili Xia this way.

Baili Xia nodded gently, her voice somewhat subdued.

“He didn’t mean it.”

“When did this happen?” Nangong Xu slightly furrowed his brows.

“This morning.”

“This morning? Do you know how serious your injury is? You only came to find me now.” It was clear Nangong Xu was angry.

But anger aside, after speaking, he turned and walked to his bed, took out the medicine box from underneath.

“He didn’t mean it, I was just afraid you’d find out, so I didn’t dare come to you.”

Baili Xia said anxiously, but the grievance in her heart also came out at the same time, her eyes moist.

Nangong Xu’s hand paused, realizing this girl was worried about them finding out.

For Guisu, does she not care about her own body?

“Is he that important?”

“It’s not about importance; I don’t want to wrong a good person.” Baili Xia said slowly.

“If Uncle and Brother You find out that he hurt me, they wouldn’t let it go, and future conflicts would be hard to resolve.”
