Chapter 153: Uncle I'll Behave Myself 26_1

“I’ve resented you for such a long time, and I’m still doing so right now.”

Ignoring everyone else, Baili Xia kept her gaze fixed on Uncle’s deep eyes: “Do you know, I almost drowned!”

“Miss Xiaxia, actually Mr.

Xiaojiu he…..”

Ye Hua didn’t finish when he was forced to back off by a cold stare from Mu Xiaojiu.

Baili Xia swiftly turned around and directed her glare at him: “Tell me the truth!”

Ye Hua dared not speak carelessly, knowing Mr.

Xiaojiu didn’t want him saying too much.

“Tell me now!” Baili Xia still stared at him, biting her lip, her face serious.

“If you don’t tell me, I’ll hate him forever, he almost let me die there, he almost took my life, how could he be so heartless?

Even if I’m not someone of high status, I’m still a human life…”

“Miss Xiaxia, you’ve really misunderstood Mr.

Xiaojiu.” The more severe her words were, the more agitated Ye Hua became.

Clearly Mr.

Xiaojiu cared about her deeply, how could she have such a misunderstanding?

Ignoring Mu Xiaojiu on purpose this time, he acted as if he didn’t see his warning glance and told her everything.

“That night, an assassin came to kill Mr.

Xiaojiu, but for some reason, the assassin targeted you…”

“So, Uncle didn’t push me away because he didn’t care about my life, but to save me?”

She should have suspected this from the start.

From the moment she saw his wounds and he didn’t want Ye Hua to randomly speak, she should have guessed this wound had something to do with her.

Never did she expect the truth to be like this.

If she didn’t deliberately provoke Ye Hua earlier, would they have continued to keep her in the dark?

Her grip tightened, heartache gradually increasing, her vision becoming hazy.

She swallowed back the tears threatening to fall and continued to look at Ye Hua, waiting for him to confirm her guesses.

Now, Ye Hua avoided looking at Mu Xiaojiu.

Miss Xiaxia had already figured it out, so it wouldn’t matter if he confirmed or not.

Since he had already spoken up, even if Mr.

Xiaojiu reprimanded him later for doing so, it wouldn’t matter.

At the very least, having spoken out, the misunderstanding between Mr.

Xiaojiu and Miss Xiaxia wouldn’t be as severe.

Looking at Baili Xia, he nodded in affirmation.

“That blade was meant for you.

In order to save you, Mr.

Xiaojiu pushed you away and shielded you with his own body, causing his injuries.”

Baili Xia clenched her small hand into a fist, placed it over her lips and bit down on her hand.

If not for this, she wouldn’t have been able to stop herself from crying out.

She had resented him for such a long time, unable to let go, unable to forget the moment he ruthlessly pushed her away.

Little did she realize, it wasn’t his heartlessness, but him risking his own life to protect hers.

He used his own body to shield her from the blade…

With tears blurring her vision, she turned back to look at the wound on his chest.

Although the wound had healed significantly, it still looked horribly shocking.

As soon as Nangong Xu’s needle made contact, Uncle’s brow furrowed and beads of sweat started appearing on his forehead.

Was he in a lot of pain?

Did it still hurt?

Earlier…

thinking about how she had pushed and hit him without him making a sound, her heartache intensified.

She must have hurt him, right?

Yet, Uncle didn’t utter a word.

How awful she was…

she was too cruel, how could she be so awful?

Uncle was injured so badly, and yet she hit him!
