Chapter 1459

Wu Ming left, and his figure was no longer in the room.

Baili Xia was momentarily dazed, wondering if he could leave smoothly in broad daylight.

Even if he left, where would he be?

“Which ‘he’?” Nangong Xu happened to overhear the previous conversation.

He furrowed his brows slightly, “Is there someone else in your room?”

“There was… someone.” Baili Xia didn’t want to lie to him.

However, Wu Ming left without saying a word, without even a greeting.

It seemed like he didn’t want Nangong Xu to know he was here.

Or maybe, he just couldn’t be bothered to say hello…

Hmph, is being so aloof really okay?

Following Uncle around, what has he learned?

Nine-tenths…

no, ten-tenths of his bad temper!

“What happened? Who came by so early?” Nangong Xu walked in and placed the medicine box on the bedside table.

Looking at the still unmade bed, he noticed the two obvious indentations on the sheets and was momentarily stunned.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and stopped thinking about it.

“Come here, let me check on you.”

“…Okay.” It seemed that Master didn’t intend to pursue the matter of someone being in her room.

Baili Xia let out a sigh, unwilling to explain further either.

She walked over, lay down by the bed, and lifted her brows to look at Nangong Xu, who was busy at the bedside.

Seeing that his brows remained calm and indifferent, she suddenly became very curious.

What would it be like if Master fell in love with a girl one day?

Would he also have a wild side?

Would he become irritable, even lose his temper, or experience wild mood swings?

A man accustomed to tranquility, she really wanted to see how he would change when a woman stirred his heart.

“What are you thinking about?” Nangong Xu picked up the blood pressure monitor and glanced at her lightly.

“Just thinking…” If the indifferent master were with his woman in bed, would he also become wild and domineering like Uncle?

Ugh—what kind of messy thoughts am I having?

Just recalling how Uncle could be so noble and cold outside, yet wildly passionate in bed, it’s…

just a bit curious.

“Why is your face so red? Are you running a fever?”

Nangong Xu put down the monitor and reached out to feel her forehead.

The temperature was normal, but her face was as red as a ripe apple.

Baili Xia blinked, quickly gathering her scattered thoughts.

While he was measuring her blood pressure, she couldn’t help but ask, “Master, have you ever liked a girl?”

Nangong Xu was slightly taken aback, looked down at her, and finally shook his head gently.

“No way, at your age, you’ve never… cough, I don’t mean it that way. I mean, you’re already at this age… cough…”

She really didn’t mean it that way, about being old or anything.

Actually, Master and Uncle were only about twenty-seven or eight.

It’s just…

relatively speaking, to her, their age was indeed not young.

“So quick to call your master old?” Nangong Xu replied casually, not really paying attention to what she was saying.

Baili Xia pouted slightly.

It’s not that she thought he was old, she just wondered if, when Master had someone he liked, he might smile more than he does now.

Yes, Master hasn’t genuinely smiled in a long time.

Actually, she almost never saw him laugh sincerely.

If there was a woman by his side, would it…

change something?
