Chapter 1736

Mu Xiaojiu imagined a thousand possibilities for her awakening, but none were like this.

She might still be angry, hate him, or even want to avenge her grandfather the moment she wakes.

However, she absolutely wouldn’t look at him with strange eyes and ask “Who are you?”

She asked who he was?

Yet she knew Mu Xiaojiu was her Brother…

In fact, previously she even disliked Xiaoyao.

She disliked them both at once!

Why does she now say she doesn’t know him yet calls Mu Xiaoyao Brother?

She still recognizes Mu Xiaoyao!

Mu Xiaojiu’s body suddenly turned ice cold, is this girl playing games with him?

Why does she recognize Mu Xiaoyao yet not know him?

Baili Xia felt the coldness emanating from his body, and as he got closer, she trembled even more.

Mu Xiaojiu stared at her intensely, Nangong Xu had said that her body was fine.

But her fearful appearance didn’t seem fake.

Mu Xiaoyao himself didn’t know what was going on; this girl was trembling incessantly when Uncle approached after hugging him.

She’s afraid of Uncle, it seems, like a subconscious fear.

But the difference between this and what he imagined is beyond vast!

The two of them exchanged glances, their eyes full of bloodshot veins.

Because they hadn’t rested well, and also because of…

shared heartache and confusion.

“Nangong Xu, get in here now!”

Mu Xiaojiu suddenly roared, the anger in his voice made Ye Hua outside shiver.

He quickly turned around and rushed to the next room to fetch Nangong Xu.

These past few days, for the convenience of looking after Baili Xia, Nangong Xu had moved to the second floor here.

He had just gone back to take a nap, only because he was tired.

…

In the room, Baili Xia continued to cling tightly to Mu Xiaoyao.

After calming down, she seemed less afraid and her body stopped trembling.

Yet, she still refused to let go of Mu Xiaoyao.

Mu Xiaoyao, helpless, looked at Mu Xiaojiu, who was staring at him, releasing a coldness from his eyes.

Mu Xiaoyao knew that if Baili Xia weren’t like this, Uncle would probably punch all his teeth out.

What does this mean?

Holding his woman…

Soon, Nangong Xu arrived.

He pushed open the door and rushed in directly.

“Xiaxia, you’re finally awake!” Not paying attention to Mu Xiaojiu, Nangong Xu wiped the water off his face and went straight to Baili Xia.

He obviously just woke up, randomly splashed water on his face to wake himself.

“Master.” Baili Xia let go of Mu Xiaoyao and moved over to Nangong Xu.

She firmly grasped his hand, clearly wanting to say something, yet when she opened her mouth, she forgot what she wanted to say.

Mu Xiaojiu’s lips curled slightly, a hint of danger slid through his eyes.

The girl even recognizes Nangong Xu, yet doesn’t know him alone!

If she were still angry, she could hit him or curse him, there’s no need to pretend not to recognize him.

Mu Xiaojiu clenched his large hand tightly, cold air continuously seeped out from him.

Actually, he had a faint sense of unease.

Most unsettling was when the girl looked at him, her panicked gaze…

didn’t seem fake at all.

Nangong Xu felt a slight chill on his back, subconsciously turning to look at Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu’s murderous gaze landed on his face, causing him to shiver inside.

He cautiously held Baili Xia’s hand, relieved that this small hand wasn’t too cold.

If the hand isn’t cold, it indicates that her physical condition isn’t too bad.

Looking down at Baili Xia’s eyes, he asked softly, “You’re finally awake, we’ve been so worried. How do you feel now?”
