Chapter 1745

At two in the morning, the girl finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep.

Mu Xiaoyao got up from the bed and tucked her in.

Looking at the sleeping face, with lingering traces of a joyful smile between her brows, Mu Xiaoyao felt incredibly complex emotions.

She now…

is truly completely relaxed, without a trace of hatred in her heart.

When playing games, the two seemed to return to the past, carefree and without pressure, and her dependence and trust in him reached an unprecedented level.

In her heart, he is her soon-to-be fiancé, so she subconsciously thinks he is the person she can trust the most?

Mu Xiaoyao couldn’t tell if this was a good or bad thing, the only thing worth celebrating is that she really doesn’t hate him anymore.

At least when she can’t recall those things, there’s no resentment at all.

When Mu Xiaoyao came out of the room, Nangong Xu, Mu Xiaojiu, and even Ye Hua were already standing outside the door.

Mu Xiaoyao gently closed the room’s door, exchanging a glance with them.

The four of them turned and walked towards their original room.

Afraid that Baili Xia might wake and not find them, Mu Xiaojiu entered the room without closing the door.

“She… truly doesn’t remember those things.”

Facing their inquisitive looks, Mu Xiaoyao pressed his lips and shared the key points of what had happened.

“She knows someone wants you to be engaged, but can’t recall who?”

Nangong Xu, bewildered, subconsciously glanced outside the door.

Of course, there was nothing outside; he just subconsciously wanted to see that girl.

Mu Xiaojiu kept his thin lips tightly sealed, not saying a word.

Mu Xiaoyao nodded and continued, “I even suspect she… has forgotten Baili Yang too.”

Mu Xiaojiu tightened his palm but still didn’t speak.

Just like Mu Xiaoyao, he stared at Nangong Xu.

“Under these circumstances, I can’t explain well, but it definitely has something to do with Lu Xuening.”

Faced with these two cold stares, Nangong Xu felt immense pressure.

“Previously, when Lu Xuening was hypnotizing Dongfang Jin, she also used drugs, but I think now Xiaxia’s situation is very different from Dongfang Jin’s situation.”

“How is it different?”

“Simply put…” Nangong Xu’s gaze landed on Mu Xiaojiu.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, “If I were Lu Xuening and I truly hated Mr.

Xiaojiu that much, I suppose having Xiaxia simply forget Mr.

Xiaojiu alone wouldn’t hold much significance.”

“Are you saying this isn’t actually Lu Xuening’s intention?”

Ye Hua glanced at Mu Xiaojiu and then at Nangong Xu, “Could there have been some unforeseen incident midway?”

But now, Lu Xuening is dead, and no one can tell them what exactly Lu Xuening did to Baili Xia that night.

“I think Lu Xuening must have hypnotized her, or even administered heavy drugs.”

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu’s face suddenly grow colder, Nangong Xu hurried to explain.

“But, Lu Xuening probably didn’t know that Xiaxia’s blood is different from ordinary people’s.”

“Are you saying the drugs Lu Xuening gave don’t work on the girl?”

Mu Xiaojiu felt a wave of aching bitterness in his heart; whether they worked or not, just imagining his girl once being harmed by Lu Xuening made regret inevitably rise.

He shouldn’t have killed Lu Xuening so hastily; had he known things would turn out this way, he should have captured her and tortured her for answers.

Once the questioning was done, killing her wouldn’t have been too late.
