Chapter 2070

Mu Xiaojiu stared into her watery eyes, unsure if it was pity or anger he was feeling.

In any case, his emotions were very complex.

He didn’t know how long it took before he let out a cold hum: “Just this once; from now on, you are not allowed to set foot in my room again!”

But after saying those words, he inexplicably felt a bit of regret.

In Sihai Residence, he was like a god; if he said she wasn’t allowed, would this girl really never dare to come again?

But Baili Xia didn’t care about his “allowed” or “not allowed” comments at all. With his permission, she immediately stood up straight.

She walked to his side, half-kneeling, and carefully began to unbutton his shirt, one button at a time.

Mu Xiaojiu kept a stern face, forcing himself to concentrate on the screen.

But although his eyes were fixed on the screen, his heart was already in turmoil.

Baili Xia cautiously took off his blood-stained shirt piece by piece.

Though the perfect muscle lines of the male body in front of her were incredibly tempting, making one drool at a glance,

she restrained herself to keep him from getting upset, not daring even a glance.

With the shirt off, the wounds on Mu Xiaojiu’s arm, which had been bandaged before, were now fully visible.

Seeing it with her own eyes, Baili Xia took a deep breath.

The thick white gauze wrapped around the arm was already completely soaked in blood.

It was clear how much blood had flowed after the wound reopened.

And he didn’t care at all—he was always like this, never valuing his body.

Baili Xia’s fingers trembled as she slowly peeled off the blood-stained gauze layer by layer, placing it in a nearby trash can.

When she saw the long wound, her heart couldn’t help but twist in pain.

Although the wound had been stitched, it still appeared gruesome and terrifying.

A gash over ten centimeters long, with stitches twisted and jagged.

It seemed to tell her what kind of battle Uncle had gone through.

Who on earth tried to assassinate Uncle? Anyone capable of injuring Uncle so severely must also be extremely powerful!

But she knew nothing about any of it!

At the end of the stitching, one of the threads had already snapped, causing the massive bleeding once more.

Suppressing her fluttering emotions, Baili Xia opened up the medical kit.

She took out alcohol and cotton balls, preparing to treat his wound.

“Uncle, bear with it; it’s going to hurt a lot.”

Mu Xiaojiu said nothing, his gaze fixed on the computer, unmoving.

Yet, that gentle voice tugged painfully at the deepest nerves of his heart.

If only things were still like before, if she were still his woman…

Baili Xia wiped the edge of the wound gently with the alcohol-soaked cotton ball.

When reaching the wound, she clearly felt his arm muscles twitch slightly.

Even so, Mu Xiaojiu made no sound, his face unchanging.

After treating the wound, Baili Xia took out hemostatic powder and sprinkled it onto the wound.

Only then did she take out new gauze and wrap it around his arm over the wound.

She wrapped it in over ten layers, resting assured only when Baili Xia was confident the blood would no longer seep through.

“Uncle, you’re not going out tonight, are you?” she suddenly asked.

Mu Xiaojiu ignored her.

Baili Xia sighed helplessly, stood up, and walked to the wardrobe to fetch him a robe.

Returning to her previous spot, she lifted Mu Xiaojiu’s arm again, slowly sliding the sleeve of the robe onto it, helping him put it on.

Only after finishing everything did she stand up and tidy up the contents of the medical kit.

Perhaps she had squatted too long, for when she stood up, her head truly swayed slightly.
