Chapter 232: Behave Don't Move 45_1

All Baili Xia knew was that she wanted Uncle to wake up, eagerly waiting for him to regain consciousness.

Even, if she had to exchange a life right now.

She would willingly lay sick in bed in Uncle’s place.

Uncle came to school specifically to attend her charity sale.

If not for her, he would not have needed to go to the Imperial College at all.

If he hadn’t gone to the Imperial College, he wouldn’t have been poisoned or harmed by someone.

All of this was her fault.

Her throat was dry and bitter, and she couldn’t help but choke up.

But she feared that her sobbing would disturb the person inside.

She pressed her hand tightly against her lips, but tears still slipped down uncontrollably.

Mu Xiaoyao cast his gaze down, watching the silently weeping girl in his arms, feeling inexplicably complex.

The whole day, she put on a strong front, pretending to be happy and strong.

But at the sight of Uncle, she completely lost control of her emotions.

“Just cry if you want to.” He never prevents her from crying.

However, watching the girl cry so pitifully in his arms, without any sound.

The suppressed pain almost seemed palpable even to him.

His heart instantly softened.

…Inside the room, both Mu Lingchuan and Nangong Xu were aware of what was happening outside.

They just chose not to expose it.

Mu Lingchuan glanced sidelong.

Not looking out the window, just a quick glance aside, then his gaze returned.

Is that girl really that worried, so worried that she has to personally see Uncle?

He looked at Nangong Xu and purposefully raised his voice.

“What’s the situation with Uncle right now?

Is he in danger?”

Nangong Xu was slightly taken aback, glancing at him.

This question had already been discussed, why bring it up again now?

Upon seeing his unsteady gaze, Nangong Xu understood.

Mu Lingchuan wanted him to say a few reassuring words to comfort the girl outside.

Though he didn’t particularly like Baili Xia either.

After all, Uncle was indeed hurt because of her which brought him to his current state.

But, the girl is actually quite innocent.

Drawing his lips together, he also deliberately raised his voice.

“Most of the poison has been cleared, it’s not dangerous.

But, when he will wake up depends on him.”

“But don’t worry, he will definitely wake up within three days.”

The last sentence was deliberate for Baili Xia.

Outside, Baili Xia was desperately listening to their conversation.

Upon hearing Nangong Xu say that Uncle would wake up within three days, she finally released the breath she had held in.

She immediately became weak and limp, losing all her strength.

“How about now?

Are you released now?

Can we return home now?”

Mu Xiaoyao looked at her, speaking softly.

Baili Xia really didn’t want to leave, she wanted to stay and look at Uncle a little longer.

But, Brother was still holding her, his hand holding onto the railing, what if he ran out of strength?

Mu Xiaoyao wasn’t worried about that.

He just didn’t want Ye Hua and Leng Yu to discover their presence.

Then the crazy woman would bully Baili Xia again, and that would be a problem.

He really didn’t want to get involved in the women’ fight.

But, he had promised Uncle that he’d protect this girl.

In the end, only after Baili Xia took one long last look at the laid-out Mu Xiaojiu, she nodded her head.

No sooner did she nod than Mu Xiaoyao suddenly let go of the railing, jumping off the ledge in one move.

This time Baili Xia was completely terrified, she wasn’t ready at all!

He just jumped like that!

Even if they didn’t fall, they would definitely alarm the people in the room!
