Chapter 2071

Seeing Baili Xia looking as if she might fall over, Mu Xiaojiu immediately reached out his hand.

However, when his hand was halfway there, he abruptly pulled it back.

The girl had already steadied herself.

Unconsciously, half an hour had passed.

Baili Xia wiped her forehead, discovering that a fine layer of sweat had formed.

She glanced at Mu Xiaojiu, who still said nothing, his gaze fixed on the computer screen.

She let out a sigh of relief. At least, the wound shouldn’t pose a big problem now.

If she made him take medicine, he’d probably throw a fit, unwilling to take it.

But she had ways to make sure he took the medicine.

There was no need to stay, Baili Xia said flatly, “Uncle, it’s done.”

She looked at him once more, picked up the medical kit, and prepared to leave.

“Have you really decided to marry Xiaoyao like this?”

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind.

Baili Xia’s body slightly froze, she lifted her eyes to look at him, those bright black eyes seemed capable of seeing through a person.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly asked again at this moment.

“Yes.” She thought for a moment and affirmed.

“Alright, if that’s the case, I wish you happiness.”

As his calm voice fell, Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers began tapping the keyboard.

Baili Xia didn’t say anything further, she simply said, “Uncle, I’m leaving.”

Yet, there was no response.

Helplessly, Baili Xia didn’t linger any longer, she picked up the medical kit and left.

Only when the door was closed did Mu Xiaojiu lift his head, staring at that tightly shut door, his dark eyes void of any light.

If I tell you, Baili Yang is not your grandfather, can you let it go?

No, this girl, her heart is tied to too many people, too many feelings.

Even if you set aside blood relations, Baili Yang’s kindness and compassion to her still exist.

At least for now, she still pretends to have forgotten past hatred on the surface.

If he were to bring it up, would even this surface-level tranquility be shattered?

At least, she can still call him Uncle warmly for now, still willing to… care for him.

His fingertips once again unconsciously tightened slowly.

With a snap, this time, the mouse really broke…

…

As Baili Xia expected, as soon as she came downstairs, before she had a chance to put things away in the medical room, she was blocked by several people.

Handing the medical kit back to Nangong Xu, she said calmly, “The wound has been taken care of. However, to prevent a high fever tonight, it’s best to give him some medicine.”

“Miss Xiaxia…” Ye Hua knew his request was difficult to fulfill, but apart from Baili Xia, Mr. Xiaojiu really wouldn’t listen to anyone else.

Isn’t everything in front of them the best proof?

Since Baili Xia went upstairs, he had been waiting in the hall.

Like Nangong Xu and Mu Xiaoyao, anxiously waiting, fearing even Miss Xiaxia couldn’t persuade Mr. Xiaojiu and would be driven out of the room.

Now it seems, indeed, finding Baili Xia was the most correct and effective method.

But how to solve the problem of Mr. Xiaojiu taking medicine?

“He won’t listen to me. It’s useless to come to me for this.”

Baili Xia looked at Ye Hua.

Even if Ye Hua hadn’t spoken, she could guess what he wanted to say.

She glanced at Mu Xiaoyao, who only quietly watched her, a hint of hope in his eyes.

She pressed her lips together, meeting Nangong Xu’s gaze, “Master, give me the medicine.”

“Alright.” Nangong Xu had prepared the medicine for Mr. Xiaojiu long ago and had already sent it to him several times.

Unfortunately, that irritable man not only refused to take it but also tossed it straight into the trash can.

Mr. Xiaojiu is so stubborn, who can persuade him?
