Chapter 2578

Even from such a distance, Baili Xia could clearly feel the chilling aura radiating from Wu Ming.

The words just now clearly hurt him deeply.

She felt restless, unable to stand or sit comfortably.

Mu Xiaoyao, however, seemed completely unconcerned, casting a cool glance at Wu Ming before turning back to pour himself a cup of tea.

Baili Xia glared at him, surprised that he still had the mood to drink tea.

It’s all Brother’s fault, asking random questions in front of others.

“If I want to find a woman, is that your business?”

A hoarse voice escaped Wu Ming’s mouth; after the high fever, speaking was still a bit strenuous.

Baili Xia quickly poured a cup of water and brought it over.

Yet Wu Ming was unwilling to pay her any attention, his cold gaze fixated on Mu Xiaoyao, those eyes seemingly intent on murder.

Baili Xia was sure that if Wu Ming were healthy now, he would definitely go over and punch Brother.

Clearly, it was her who misspoke, but now, all of Wu Ming’s anger was directed at Brother.

“Get out.”

Another low growl made Baili Xia’s body tremble slightly.

Her hand holding the cup nearly let it fall.

Mu Xiaoyao did not mind Wu Ming’s outburst at all; after sitting for merely half a second, he truly stood up.

He said to Baili Xia: “I’m leaving now, come find me if anything happens.”

With that, he ignored Wu Ming, turning directly to walk towards the door.

Baili Xia was utterly stunned; Wu Ming had actually driven Brother away.

Brother wasn’t angry at all despite being scolded by him like that.

Looking at them, they seemed to have some kind of relationship…

Watching Mu Xiaoyao’s figure disappear through the doorway, Baili Xia snapped back to attention.

Quickly, she pushed the cup towards Wu Ming again: “Wu Ming, you just woke up, have some water first.”

Wu Ming’s dark eyes, whether due to injury or something else, had become dull and lifeless.

He didn’t lift his head, instead placing his leg to the side, supporting himself on the bed as he stepped onto the floor to stand up.

“Wu Ming, your injury isn’t healed, don’t move carelessly.”

Baili Xia was frightened, quickly moving to his side to try and support him.

But before she could touch Wu Ming, she heard his cold voice.

“I don’t need you to take care of me.”

Baili Xia’s footsteps halted instantly; she knew Wu Ming had completely misunderstood her.

But how could she explain this to him?

At this time, the more she explained to Wu Ming, the deeper his resentment would grow.

After spending so many days together, Baili Xia could sense that Wu Ming’s attitude towards her was not ordinary.

However, being with him was absolutely impossible.

Since it was impossible, she never intended to give him any hope.

She even thought of quickly finding him a woman.

But today, it was exposed by Brother right in front of him.

Wu Ming took a few deep breaths, adjusting his breathing.

He never glanced at Baili Xia, heading straight for the door.

“Where are you going? Your injuries are serious, rest a bit, don’t go out.”

Despite his cold demeanor, Baili Xia couldn’t help asking.

She grew a bit anxious, unable to keep herself from chasing after him.

But having had no sleep for two days, she was utterly exhausted.

A slip of her foot caught on a stool, sending her sprawling forward.

Baili Xia felt the world spin, certain this fall would be severe.

She closed her eyes, waiting for the moment she’d hit the ground.

Unexpectedly, her body collided with something solid, firm but not painful at all.

She lifted her eyes slightly, seeing the enigmatic man so close, still cold, yet feeling a warmth in her heart.
