Chapter 231: Behave Don't Move 44_1

But when Baili Xia’s gaze crossed the open curtain of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The moment she saw the man lying on the bed, everything around her was instantaneously forgotten.

Uncle… Uncle was lying there!

So quiet and peaceful, just like he was sleeping.

But she has never seen Uncle sleep like this.

With someone by his side, he could sleep so deeply and so carelessly.

He was never like this, Uncle had always been guarded!

So, he wasn’t sleeping now, he had fainted.

If Uncle was okay, how could he allow so many unrelated people around while he was sleeping?

In the room, only Mu Lingchuan and Nangong Xu were present.

Mu Lingchuan stood aside, from Baili Xia’s angle, she couldn’t see his expression.

Nangong Xu also had his back to them, making it impossible for Baili Xia to see the hint of helplessness that filled his eyes.

As soon as Baili Xia saw the man lying on the bed, all her thoughts were completely occupied by him.

He was still so handsome, so good-looking, so captivating.

Even unconscious, his regal aura and domineering presence couldn’t be ignored.

But from such a distance she could clearly see his complexion was terribly pale.

Hasn’t the poison been completely eradicated yet?

When will he start to recover?

Uncle…

All of a sudden, a flood of memories came rushing back, stinging her eyes with the threat of tears.

Their first meeting at the hotel, when her uncle, desperate for money, sold her to this man.

He tore her clothes completely to shreds, pressed down on her, almost ripping her apart.

But later, he let her go.

Just when she was in so much pain that she was about to faint, he suddenly rolled off the bed and left the room.

Actually, her memories of that night are rather hazy, she has no idea why he left the room.

All she knew was that it was excruciatingly painful being at his mercy.

She was convinced that if she didn’t leave then, he would torture her even worse if he came back.

So, she found a random piece of clothing to cover herself and jumped off the balcony.

Even she couldn’t believe how daring she was, to jump from such a great height.

Luckily, there was a pool below, so she didn’t suffer any injuries.

After getting out of the pool, she ran away.

She didn’t even know where she was heading, she was so groggy and it felt like she fainted halfway.

But when she woke up, she found herself in a strange hotel.

Someone had saved her and brought her to a hotel.

She didn’t know who it was, but she had a feeling it was someone from Uncle’s side.

It was a while before he reappeared in her life.

She thought they wouldn’t cross paths again, but it turned out that she was already stuck in his trap, unable to escape.

That day in the conference room, he took her despite her resistance.

She thought her life was ruined after that, but then she met her grandpa.

Everything in her life changed dramatically after that.

And Uncle, very naturally became her Uncle, barging into her life again.

She should have hated him, but he risked his life time and again to save her.

She should be tearfully grateful, but it was indeed this man who had taken her innocence.

Whether it was hate or gratitude, at this point, it was already unclear.
