Chapter 210: Behave Don't Move 23_1

No one knew that merely uttering a few words had nearly exhausted all of Mu Xiaojiu’s strength.

Baili Xia didn’t understand and wasn’t clear about what had actually happened, but Ye Hua saw it all clearly.

Mr.

Xiaojiu’s lips had changed color, Mr.

Xiaojiu…

had been poisoned!

His breathing went erratic, he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Nangong Xu.

After a brief call, he urged Mu Xiaojiu to get into the car.

There were antidotes in the car, which were always kept at hand.

Once in the car and having taken the antidote, it should at least buy some time.

However, Mr.

Xiaojiu was still looking at Baili Xia and was reluctant to get in the car.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu…” Ye Hua was frantic.

Only a slight change in the color of his lips was visible, something which the average person wouldn’t be able to recognize.

But to protect Mr.

Xiaojiu, he had started training himself years earlier.

He knew far more about poisons than the average person.

It was true that Mu Xiaojiu had been poisoned.

The cake wasn’t poisoned, but the box of tissues was.

Whoever was out to harm him had gone to great lengths to do so.

Who would’ve thought that they would put the poison on the tissue, not in the cake?

What if he hadn’t used the tissue?

He was indeed feeling quite unwell now, a surge of blood roiled in his chest and he felt like he could vomit blood at any moment.

But he knew that his little creature was truly terrified.

She might not have noticed his changes very clearly, but she was curious, and even uneasy.

Before making sure she is okay, if he faints due to the poison, who will comfort her?

Taking a deep breath, the sudden rush of blood that surged to his lips was swallowed with effort.

He looked at Baili Xia and said calmly, “I will have someone buy all the cakes today.

Later, Xiaoyao will take you home.”

“Uncle, are you…are you…”

“Why?

Want to come with me?” He reached out and brushed her nose gently with his long fingers.

He suddenly leaned closer and murmured, “Even if you’re eager for me to check up on you, not right now, I have an important meeting.”

Seeing her blush and turn red instantly, he straightened his body and looked at Ye Hua.

Ye Hua immediately spoke sternly, “I will arrange everything.

Miss Xiaxia’s charity sale will definitely be a success.”

In fact, what he really wanted to say was, Mr.

Xiaojiu, please rush back to the car and take the antidote now!

He simply couldn’t understand why Mr.

Xiaojiu had something to explain that he couldn’t do himself.

Mr.

Xiaojiu’s face looked worse and worse, clearly, the poison was already infiltrating his vital organs.

Did he not realize that every second he delayed here raised his risk?

Mu Xiaojiu needed to go, but the unease in Baili Xia’s eyes was stopping him from just leaving.

He was well aware of his current condition, and he knew that once he got in the car, he might not hold on much longer.

If he collapsed, he didn’t know when he would regain consciousness.

Some things had to be arranged before he passed out.

“I will be very busy for the next few days, will you be obedient and stay with Xiaoyao?”

“Uncle…”

“Miss Xiaxia, quickly assure Mr.

Xiaojiu you will be obedient and always stay with Mr.

Mu!”

Ye Hua’s heart pounded with desperation, Mr.

Xiaojiu… can’t you speak less?

Was it necessary to risk his own life just to reassure Baili Xia?

“Miss Xiaxia, you have to speak!” He was almost ready to kneel down and beg her!

But Mr.

Xiaojiu was just that stubborn!

“I, I understand, I will stay with Brother.”

Baili Xia didn’t quite understand what was going on, but she could clearly see the urgency in Ye Hua’s eyes.

Was the task that Uncle had to deal with really so urgent?
