Chapter 2050

“Uncle Three.” Seeing that Mu Xuri still showed no intention of letting go, Ning Anran called out again.

Mu Xuri collected himself and finally released Ning Anran’s hand.

His face darkened, and he said coldly, “I just mistook you for Wen Yu. Don’t take it to heart.”

Once her hand was free, Ning Anran immediately stood up and stepped aside.

“No, why would I mind Uncle Three?”

Though she spoke those words, she did not believe him in her heart.

Mu Xuri adjusted his chair back to an upright position, sat properly, and waved his hand.

“You may go now; I still have some work to finish.”

Ning Anran nodded, saying promptly, “Okay then, I won’t disturb you any longer, Uncle Three.”

After speaking, she walked to the door and turned to look back at Mu Xuri once more.

Seeing that he was indeed already bending over his desk, engrossed in work, Ning Anran didn’t linger and walked out, closing the door behind her.

Mu Xuri looked up, watching Ning Anran’s departing figure as she disappeared through the doorway, unable to calm his heart for a long time.

Just now, he was really almost there…

…

In the medical room of Sihai Residence, Baili Xia had just finished wiping Xiaoxiao’s body.

Sitting by Xiaoxiao’s bedside, she kept vigil over her.

It had been many days, yet there was no sign of her waking up.

She lay quietly on the bed, as if she was just asleep.

“Xiaoxiao, when will you finally wake up?”

“Wake up and tell me who pushed you down?”

“Tell me what I should do?”

“…”

It was only when she was alone keeping watch over Xiaoxiao that Baili Xia could voice the thoughts hidden in her heart.

Only Xiaoxiao could listen to her thoughts at this time.

However, no one responded to her.

Baili Xia raised her hand and gently brushed Xiaoxiao’s forehead, smoothing her hair.

Suddenly, there was the sound of soft footsteps outside the door. Baili Xia remained silent, simply sitting quietly.

A few seconds later, the door to the medical room was pushed open, and Nangong Xu strode in.

Upon entering the medical room, he first went to the bedside and checked all the equipment.

After seeing that all the data was normal, he sat down beside her.

He looked at Baili Xia and said plainly, “How’s your acupuncture practice going recently?”

Baili Xia turned her head to look at him.

“It’s alright; I’ve regained most of my previous level.”

“Have you remembered anything from before?” A flicker of something crossed Nangong Xu’s eyes.

Baili Xia was slightly taken aback, she shook her head and said, “No, after practicing a lot, I naturally remember how to perform acupuncture.”

Nangong Xu felt relieved. He suddenly stood up and took off his outer garment.

In less than a minute, his upper body was completely exposed.

His long, graceful hair and fair skin made it difficult to imagine that beneath the clothing hid such a perfect muscular physique.

“Master!”

Baili Xia blushed slightly, looking at the familiar muscles on his body.

Although she knew what he intended, the act of him undressing without a word still made her feel a bit embarrassed.

“What, feeling estranged again?” Nangong Xu said casually.

“No, I am a doctor after all.” Baili Xia tried hard to maintain her composure.

But, with such a perfect body in front of her, it was really difficult to look away!

Who doesn’t have an appreciation for beauty?

Nangong Xu’s lips curled into a faint smile as he sat down on the medical stool.

Baili Xia steadied herself and no longer refused, rising to step forward.

Despite him being Uncle’s person, this mentor was truly kind to her.

Even with practicing acupuncture, he often allowed her to use his body for trial.

Didn’t he fear that if she couldn’t recall her past medical skills, she might accidentally injure him?
