Chapter 1621

Feng Gang responded again and then left to find a doctor.

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Baili Xia tried to suppress her excitement and thanked the old man in as calm a tone as possible.

The old man still cared for her, and she needed to tell him the true facts as soon as possible.

Baili Xia was very worried, afraid it might be too late to reverse things if delayed any longer.

But now, firstly, there was no opportunity to be alone.

Secondly, even if she spoke, would the old man believe her?

After all, he and Ning Anran had once done an NDA test!

After breakfast, the old man prepared to retire to his room for rest.

As he stood up, Baili Xia called out to him from behind.

“Grandpa…”

The old man turned his head to look at her, his gaze benevolent.

“Is there anything else?”

“I have been learning with Mr. Nangong for a while, mainly some acupuncture treatment methods to clear the meridians. I think it could also detoxify.”

The old man nodded slightly, understanding Baili Xia’s meaning.

Before he could speak, Ning Anran said from the side, “In a while, Grandpa and I have some matters to attend to, I’m afraid there’s no time.”

As she spoke, a hint of worry flashed in Ning Anran’s eyes.

But it was fleeting, and Baili Xia did not notice it.

However, Ning Anran’s worry, even if it wasn’t visible on her face, was imaginable.

Ning Anran now was completely unwilling to give them a chance to be alone.

Baili Xia stood up, walked over to the old man’s side, and gently took his arm.

She softly said, “My acupuncture won’t take much time, just a little bit.”

The old man looked at Ning Anran again; although there were matters ahead, they were not urgent.

But Xiaxia’s filial piety made it difficult for him to refuse.

He nodded and gently said, “Okay, let’s go to my room.”

Baili Xia supported the old man back to his room.

Mu Xiaoyao intended to spend the day with her, so he went along too.

Ning Anran had nothing else to do and was a bit worried about Baili Xia.

So she also followed them to the old man’s room.

Upon reaching the old man’s room, Baili Xia thought Ning Anran and Mu Xiaoyao would likely wait in the small living room outside.

Unexpectedly, they followed into the bedroom.

Baili Xia had some things to say to the old man while administering acupuncture.

But in front of Ning Anran and Mu Xiaoyao, she lacked the courage to speak.

This matter couldn’t be spoken of recklessly; everything had to be endured.

Baili Xia took out silver needles and seriously began the acupuncture on the old man.

However, during the waiting time for acupuncture, Ning Anran and Mu Xiaoyao didn’t leave for a moment.

Whether they didn’t trust her, or they genuinely had nothing to do was unknown.

In any case, Baili Xia knew it wasn’t out of genuine concern for the old man.

Especially Ning Anran, if she truly cared for the old man, she wouldn’t poison him.

Poisoning, such a horrifying act, how could she bring herself to do it?

Ning Anran now wasn’t the same as the Ning Anran of the past.

For the sake of a man, was it really necessary to become so terrifying?

With countless worries in her heart, on the surface, Baili Xia was just focused on giving the old man acupuncture.

With the needles in place, the old man felt very comfortable, lying on the soft bed and falling asleep.

Baili Xia kept waiting, hoping for a chance to be alone with the old man.

However, this opportunity was long in coming.

She was really afraid that if the old man spent too much time with Ning Anran, it might be too late if delayed further.
