Chapter 152: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 25_1

What did it mean for Mr.

Xiaojiu to assure him that he was all right?

The way Nangong Xu spoke about it was making it clear to her.

Even if he claimed to be all right, wasn’t he simply obeying Uncle’s instruction?

Couldn’t he tell the truth himself?

Seeing Nangong Xu about to leave, Baili Xia panicked and rushed over to block his path.

“You can’t leave.

You must examine Uncle’s injury.

Please attend to him immediately.”

“Do I look like I’m in trouble?” Mu Xiaojiu seemed indifferent.

Baili Xia was just staring at Nangong Xu, arms outstretched, refusing to let him go.

Helplessly, Nangong Xu turned back to Mu Xiaojiu, the same magnetic voice slowly resonating.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu is indeed seriously injured.

Since Miss Xiaxia already knows, why not let me take another look?”

Mu Xiaojiu was slightly impatient; he did not want to deal with his injury in front of this girl.

However, Baili Xia was still staring at his chest, looking anxious.

Would she be so upset if he didn’t let her see that she couldn’t sleep?

She cared about him…

He didn’t know why, but this thought made his heart suddenly warm.

Still, he was reluctant, fearing it would frighten her.

The wound…indeed did not look very good.

“Uncle, do you think I’m getting in your way?” Baili Xia came over too and asked quietly.

“Still knowing, aren’t you going back to rest?” Mu Xiaojiu snorted coldly.

Instead of leaving, Baili Xia walked over and sat down not far from him.

“I won’t get in your way, I’ll just sit here and not move.”

“Will this little mouth stay shut?” He lowered his gaze to look at her.

Baili Xia shook her head: “Not unless you tell me how you got this injury.”

She didn’t know why, but she vaguely felt a bit uneasy, as if she had missed some important information.

Mu Xiaojiu did not speak, Nangong Xu opened the medical box he had just put down, took out the silver needles, and sat down at the bedside.

This medical box had been here all along.

When Baili Xia entered earlier and saw Uncle with a beautiful man undressing him, she couldn’t notice anything else.

Would she have made fewer jokes tonight if she had found this medicine box earlier?

She watched Nangong Xu open Uncle’s robe and begin to needle him.

It was by this opportunity that she finally saw Uncle’s wound clearly.

When she didn’t see clearly, she felt a little better.

Now that she could see, her heart ached again.

Such a long scar, with the flesh turned inside out, even though it had now scabbed over, it wasn’t hard to imagine how severe his injury had been.

Ever since the party on the ship, Uncle had suddenly disappeared only to return almost half a month later.

Could it be that his injury was related to the incident that day?

“Why did you push me away?” She sat kneeling not far from him, staring directly at his face, also carefully observing every small change on his face.

“That day in the sea, why did you push me away and almost let me drown?”

This suddenly raised topic made Nangong Xu’s face change slightly.

However, Uncle’s face didn’t change at all.

Yet Ye Hua, not far away, couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his eyes.

So Miss Xiaxia still didn’t know it, that night Mr.

Xiaojiu pushed her away to save her.

After misunderstanding for so long, it was no wonder that her attitude towards him was much worse when Mr.

Xiaojiu returned this time.

So, now, has she finally understood?
