Chapter 2069

If the wound isn’t treated in time, it will really get infected.

Although Mu Xiaojiu’s physique is indeed much tougher than most people, no matter how tough, it’s still a body of flesh and blood.

“Uncle, please listen to me, take off your shirt, I promise I won’t look at your body, okay?”

Since being tough didn’t work, Baili Xia had to soften her approach and coax him.

Little did she know, Mu Xiaojiu was more stubborn than ever.

With a cold snort, his gaze was fixed on the laptop screen, not even sparing her a glance.

“I’m not your man, don’t try to coax me.”

“…” Not allowed to coax him… How childish does that sound?

“Then… Uncle, please take off your shirt, so I can tend to the wound, okay?”

“I’m not amused!”

“…!” Feeling the urge to curse! “What will it take for you to be willing to take it off?”

Does she have to get tough? But even a wounded Uncle, she couldn’t beat, how could she?

“Not taking it off.” Not even a hint of compromise.

“Fine then, take care of it yourself.” Baili Xia gave him a faint glance, then turned to leave.

Mu Xiaojiu’s long finger gripping the mouse suddenly tightened, the poor mouse nearly crushed under his grip!

This girl! This infuriating woman!

Will it kill her to coax him a bit more?

Maybe if she coaxed a little longer… maybe he would agree.

But his face remained cold, gaze stubbornly locked on the screen.

No matter where his thoughts were, his eyes refused to leave the laptop screen.

Already a few steps away, Baili Xia finally stopped.

To let her just walk away like this, she really… couldn’t.

The blood was still flowing, how much blood can a person have?

Eventually, it would all bleed out.

“I was wrong.” She lowered her head, turned back to Mu Xiaojiu, “Uncle, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have thrown a tantrum, scold me, will you?”

With her head down, she missed the flash of excitement and… a little fear in his eyes.

Just now, he was actually a bit scared… that she would just walk out and not care about him anymore.

“Uncle, I’m not feeling well.” Baili Xia suddenly said softly.

“What’s that got to do with me?” If you’re unwell, why not take medicine? What kind of game is she playing now?

“I want to go back and rest, I’m dizzy.” She rubbed her temple, really looking like she couldn’t stand anymore.

Mu Xiaojiu’s hand tensed, but he resisted looking at her: “I’m not forcing you to stay.”

“I promised them I’d bandage your wound, and since the job’s not finished, I don’t dare leave.”

“You…” Damn it! Coming here to treat his wound just because she promised those people?

If that’s the case, what’s it got to do with him?

“If Uncle doesn’t let me tend to it, I’ll stand here until you agree.”

Baili Xia leaned against the desk, looking at him lightly.

She’s tried every method, this was the last resort.

Even if she despised her own tactics, she couldn’t just watch him continue to bleed.

She pinched her own thigh secretly, inhaling a sharp breath, her eyes instantly teared up.

Hearing her gasp, Mu Xiaojiu instinctively looked up, only to see her big teary eyes, even her complexion didn’t look good.

“What are you doing? Don’t act all pitiful here, if you’re unwell, go back and rest! Get lost!”

“A promise is a promise, even if I leave, I can’t leave now.”

“You…”

“Let me take care of it, I’m really feeling ill, I want to go back early, I’m begging you.”
