Chapter 2119

The sound of water rushing in the bathroom finally stopped, followed by the noise of the hairdryer.

Moments later, the door opened from the inside.

Baili Xia emerged after changing into her pajamas.

Mu Xiaojiu’s throat contracted again, and he unconsciously swallowed.

This girl is truly a little enchantress.

Even in such conservative pajamas, she still looked like a stunning beauty emerging from water.

After the shower, her face appeared even fairer.

Her enticing, delicate lips exhaled a sweet fragrance.

The loose pajamas draped over her, accentuating a lazy demeanor.

“Come here.” Mu Xiaojiu called, his gaze darkening.

Baili Xia shivered and said, “Come here for what?”

“What do you think I want to do? Do you?”

Mu Xiaojiu replied indifferently, his eyes unfathomable.

Baili Xia’s face flashed with a trace of fear: “Uncle, you…”

“In your mind, am I that sort of person? Would I give up my life just to be with you?”

Though giving up his life for her wasn’t something he hadn’t considered.

But now, his life entwined with hers; if the damn toxins in his body continued, he’d need to waste her blood.

Considering this, he would naturally take better care of himself.

Despite the harsh words, Baili Xia felt somewhat relieved.

She trusted her uncle; as long as he said it, he wouldn’t truly make it difficult for her.

After some thought, she finally stepped forward cautiously.

Once she approached Mu Xiaojiu, his eyes held a hint of amusement.

“Clean me up; I haven’t bathed in two days and it’s very uncomfortable.”

Seeing Baili Xia’s expression change, his demeanor instantly turned cold.

“What did I say yesterday? Have you forgotten? Now that you’re back with me, it’s natural to do these things.”

Baili Xia’s face turned crimson; she’s seen her uncle’s body before.

But wiping him clean felt really embarrassing.

If she didn’t do it, who else could?

Servant? They’d be kicked out in minutes.

“What are you thinking?”

The calm voice sounded again, and Baili Xia gathered herself, finally moving closer to him.

Her uncle had always been good to her; it could be considered… a repayment.

Mu Xiaojiu cooperated well, sitting up straight, puffing out his chest.

Baili Xia’s hands trembled slightly as she reached for his chest to undo the first button.

But no matter how long she worked at it, the button seemed to deliberately oppose her, refusing to come undone.

When bandaging his wounds before, it wasn’t this difficult.

Today, what was going on?

She instinctively lowered her head, suddenly noticing Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze probing into her neckline.

She abruptly stood upright, stepping back with an angry look.

“Uncle, what are you looking at?”

The pajamas Baili Xia wore were already very conservative, but no matter how conservative, the neckline was still larger than that of ordinary clothes.

With Mu Xiaojiu’s tall stature, sitting straight made him nearly as tall as Baili Xia.

Just then, as Baili Xia leaned down to unbutton Mu Xiaojiu’s shirt, her neckline was exposed to him.

Given Uncle’s wolfish nature, he naturally wouldn’t miss such a perfect opportunity.

Reprimanded by Baili Xia, Mu Xiaojiu’s cold face slightly flushed.

Even someone as aloof as him felt a bit embarrassed doing such a peeping act.

But it was just a fleeting moment, as his composure quickly returned.

“Wasn’t looking at anything. Not that big, can it be attractive?”
