Chapter 1717

The press conference held today is where Mr.

Xiaojiu will announce his resignation as CEO of Mu Group.

There will be a shareholders’ meeting after the conference, but the outcome is essentially a foregone conclusion.

At the shareholders’ meeting, Mu Xuri is sure to take the lead and become the new CEO.

Of course, this CEO position is truly something Mr.

Xiaojiu no longer wants.

Therefore, Ye Hua doesn’t find it regrettable.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, this is the last press conference before the year’s end.

If you don’t go today, it will have to be postponed until after the new year.”

Mu Xiaojiu contemplated deeply for a moment before finally looking at Nangong Xu and saying, “Take good care of her, I’ll be back soon.”

Nangong Xu nodded and replied, “Alright.”

After Mu Xiaojiu and Ye Hua left, Nangong Xu sat down by the bedside.

He lowered his gaze to look at Baili Xia lying in bed, his mind filled with a myriad of thoughts.

How disillusioned must she be with this world, with the people around her, that she doesn’t want to wake up.

Yet, he is also one of those people.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of self-loathing.

As time passed by the minute, Nangong Xu sat by the bedside, unknowingly accompanying Baili Xia for over an hour.

But Baili Xia had not even fluttered her eyelashes, quietly sleeping the whole time.

Nangong Xu raised his hand to check his watch, realizing it was time for Zimo’s examination again.

Ever since Zimo’s health had issues, to reassure Mu Lingchuan and for Baili Xia’s sake, Nangong Xu personally handled every examination.

After thinking it over, he stood up and called out at the door.

Soon, a maid hurriedly came up the stairs.

She approached Nangong Xu, her cheeks slightly flushed, and respectfully asked, “Mr. Nangong, do you have any instructions?”

To them, Mr.

Nangong was simply the kind of man whose charm could kill without mercy.

His beauty had surpassed most girls.

Nangong Xu just nodded slightly, turned, and led her into the room, coming beside Baili Xia.

He said softly, “I need to go out for a dozen minutes.

Stay here and keep an eye on Miss Xiaxia, make sure not to leave.”

The maid nodded, full of awe and anxiety: “Yes, Mr.

Nangong, I will not leave until you return.”

Nangong Xu nodded, bent down to pick up his medical kit.

He looked at Baili Xia once more; she remained as unresponsive as before.

With a sigh in his heart, he turned to leave.

Having just opened the door and prepared to step out, he suddenly turned back.

Looking at the maid, he calmly said, “Remember, no matter what happens, do not leave.”

After the maid nodded again, although still a bit apprehensive, he began to exit.

He’s only leaving for ten minutes; Baili Xia should be alright during this time.

With this thought, he inadvertently quickened his pace.

Hoping to reach the main house quickly, finish Zimo’s examination, and return immediately.

After Nangong Xu left, the maid sat down on a chair, obediently watching over Baili Xia in bed, unmoving.

She was dedicated to fulfilling Mr.

Nangong’s orders well.

Just gaining a look of appreciation from Mr.

Nangong would make her content.

Miss Xiaxia is truly fortunate.

In the Mu family, Mr.

Xiaojiu, Mr.

Mu, and Mr.

Nangong all treat her so well.

Even though it’s not the same kind of affection, she is really showered with love.

Moreover, Miss Xiaxia is truly beautiful.

Even without makeup, she is more beautiful and captivating than many other women.

Even Mu Ziqing, as a top actress, doesn’t quite compare to her…
