Chapter 189: Behave Don't Move 02_1

Mu Xiaojiu’s wounds still hadn’t healed completely, every night Nangong Xu had to apply acupuncture to him.

In the past, the acupuncture session would usually approach midnight.

But today, Mr.

Xiaojiu had asked him to come earlier.

After checking Mu Xiaojiu’s wounds and starting the acupuncture, Nangong Xu finally voiced his concern.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, you care too much about Baili Xia.”

Mu Xiaojiu, half-laying on the head of the bed, remained silent, closing his eyes to rest.

When the silver needles fell on him, it was as if they were piercing wood, he didn’t seem to feel any pain at all.

Of course, there wasn’t much pain to speak of when Nangong Xu was the one performing the acupuncture.

Although Mr.

Xiaojiu clearly didn’t want to discuss this, Nangong Xu felt compelled to speak.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu got hurt this time because of Baili Xia.

You can defend against the enemy’s ambush, but you can’t stop them from hurting the one you care about.”

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, not even moving his eyelashes.

Nangong Xu continued speaking calmly: “Once Mr.

Xiaojiu starts caring about someone, you will have a weakness from then on.”

“Those assassins, Ye Hua’s people have already dealt with them, but nobody can guarantee that the next group won’t see Mr.

Xiaojiu’s affection for Baili Xia.”

“So, you think I pity her?” Mu Xiaojiu finally opened his eyes, his stare as dark as ink, fixed intently on his face.

Even though Nangong Xu was used to keeping his cool, under Mr.

Xiaojiu’s steely gaze, beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.

However, this didn’t stop him from saying what he needed to say.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu’s already hurt so badly, the wound is the best proof.”

He looked at Mu Xiaojiu, his gaze sincere: “Mr.

Xiaojiu, if you didn’t care about her, those assassins would never have been able to hurt you.”

Mu Xiaojiu’s face became colder, but Nangong Xu continued to urge: “When it comes to this, there is always a second time.

If they can’t deal with you directly, they’ll attack the ones you care about.”

“The young master and Mr.

Mu can protect themselves, but Baili Xia can’t.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, once your weaknesses are exposed, you will be in great danger.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…”

“Have you been talking too much tonight?” Mu Xiaojiu shot him a glance, then, he closed his eyes once more.

He, has his own ways to handle his affair with Baili Xia and it needs no further comment from others.

Nangong Xu knew that whatever problem it may be, once Baili Xia was involved, it would become extremely complex.

Inserting the last silver needle into his chest, Nangong Xu still couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

“I hope Mr.

Xiaojiu doesn’t forget the reason you sought Baili Xia in the first place, it would be good not to deviate from the original intention.”

The other man remained unresponsive, but Nangong Xu knew, his heart was in a turmoil.

Was it because of that reason, or because of Baili Xia?

This girl was becoming increasingly important in Mr.

Xiaojiu’s heart, so much so that it could disrupt Mr.

Xiaojiu’s plans.

If this continues, the consequences would be disastrous.

It’s easy to fend off a spear in plain sight, but what if they really attacked Baili Xia?

…

After returning to the main house and greeting the old master, Baili Xia went upstairs and returned to her room.

She picked out a nightgown, went into the bathroom, and in less than half an hour, she had thoroughly cleaned herself.

She was in a slightly good mood today.

She wasn’t exactly sure why, but she was.

She just felt a little bit better.

As she came out of the bathroom, she was even humming a tune.

However, when she saw the man sitting on the small sofa, her mood instantly plummeted to rock bottom!
