Chapter 2068

The rough words and hostile attitude gave Baili Xia a bit of a headache.

He told her to leave, and she had no objection. If it weren’t for seeing that he was really injured, she would have left without a word from him.

But now, even Nangong Xu was driven out by him. If she didn’t care, would she really let this guy bleed dry?

Just to have a peaceful night’s sleep and not be repeatedly awakened by the sight of his blood in dreams, she couldn’t ignore the injury.

Suppressing the frustration in her heart, Baili Xia forced a smile on her face.

“Uncle, you saved me before, didn’t you?”

There was a flicker in Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes. Because of her words, his gaze could no longer stay focused.

In that moment, he naively thought that this girl was bringing up the past. Was she going to tell him that she’d remembered the past?

Was she about to give up on her plan?

A small flame of hope ignited in his heart, and Mu Xiaojiu turned his gaze back to Baili Xia.

“Just give me a chance to repay you; let me bandage you up, okay?”

The small flame of hope that had just been kindled was instantly doused ruthlessly. Mu Xiaojiu said coldly, “You also saved my life before. Neither of us owes the other anything.”

The breakthrough was once again blocked, leaving Baili Xia at a loss.

She stood there, hesitating.

Did she really have to force herself to speak decisive words?

After a while, finally, she decided to once again harden her heart.

“I’m about to get engaged to Brother. Soon, we’ll truly be a family.”

“If I don’t help you and Brother finds out, would he blame me?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s heart felt as if it had been struck with a sledgehammer; for a moment, even breathing was difficult.

This girl was about to become Xiaoyao’s wife. Once mid-next month passed, nothing could be undone.

And now, she was using this matter to rub salt into his wound.

Seeing him silent, Baili Xia moved closer and tugged at his sleeve again.

She didn’t mean to rub salt into the wound, just that this guy was stubborn, and to make him behave a little, any method had to be tried.

At least, he wasn’t resisting now, right?

Even though she knew that Uncle wasn’t resisting now, his face looked a hundred times worse than before.

This time, Mu Xiaojiu didn’t make any move, allowing her to roll up his sleeve.

Baili Xia then discovered that the wound area was larger than she’d imagined.

Just rolling up the sleeve like this wouldn’t help treat the wound at all.

“Uncle,” she hesitated a bit, then fixed her gaze on him and said, “Could you take off your top?”

“No,” he stated — his body was only for his woman to see.

Since she wasn’t his woman, what right did she have?

The irritation in his eyes flashed in an instant, and Baili Xia could understand what that cold gaze of his meant.

“Only looking at your injury, I won’t look anywhere else, is that okay?”

Based on the best saying for a sick person, now, if he wanted to make a fuss, let him make a fuss. She would endure it.

“Women are creatures who say one thing and mean another.” Mu Xiaojiu snorted coldly.

So many women drooled when they saw him. If they had the chance to see his body, wouldn’t they look?

Who would believe them if they said they wouldn’t!

Baili Xia really wanted to roll her eyes at him.

She’d seen this body many times before, who knows how many times, and now he was arguing with her about this. Really?

Couldn’t he be a little less childish?

However, blood was still seeping continuously from the wound, and seeing that patch of red, what mood did she have to argue with him?
