Chapter 270: Just Like Her Body

Baili Xia kept silent, completely ignoring him.

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t know whether he should still be angry at her or not.

But seeing her injury, he couldn’t bring himself to be angry anymore.

He reached out, wanting to touch her face.

But she closed her eyes, her long eyelashes that fanned out like a sweep, completely concealing her spirited eyes.

Although he couldn’t see her eyes, he could feel her defiance.

This little girl, still not willing to admit defeat, was still challenging him!

Outside the door, there was a knock again, but Mu Xiaojiu paid no attention to it.

He just looked at Baili Xia, who was pinned under him, with a heavy chest.

He wanted to appease her, but he didn’t know why he had to.

He only knew that he didn’t want to see her being stubborn all by herself.

But once he did appease her, would she become even more arrogant in his presence?

Eventually, he stood up, looking down at her.

With a cold expression, he said in a deliberate icy tone.

“This is what happens when you disobey.

You should know that if it weren’t for someone coming, right now, I would be punishing you.”

Baili Xia kept silent and didn’t open her eyes.

She knew very well, how could she not at this point?

If it weren’t for Nangong Yun’s arrival, she would have been in trouble now.

Was it also because the visitor was Nangong Yun?

Last time when Auntie came, he wanted to continue, but he easily let Ye Hua send her away.

Now, because the visitor was Nangong Yun, things weren’t the same.

So it was clear, Nangong Yun was that important to him.

“Did you hear me?” Without her response, Mu Xiaojiu’s voice immediately hardened.

“I heard, I understood too.”

Baili Xia slowly opened her eyes and sat up from the couch.

There was nothing peculiar about her face, she looked indifferent.

She did not rush to tidy her clothes as she usually did.

Her clothes were obviously disordered, but she merely looked quietly at him.

Mu Xiaojiu felt an unexpected ache looking at her current state.

Especially, this pitiful look on her face was entirely his doing.

He wanted to say something soothing but couldn’t bring himself to do it.

He wasn’t used to comforting women, there had always been people who comforted him.

However, why did her indifference make him feel so restless?

Baili Xia suddenly laughed lightly.

“Mrs.

Yun is knocking at the door, aren’t you going to let her in?”

Mu Xiaojiu really wanted to pick this little devil up, give her a good shake and wake her up.

Would it kill her to just obey him?

He promised that he’d spoil her as long as she was obedient.

Why couldn’t she be good and stay by his side?

Why did she have to always argue with him?

She wasn’t like this in the past, today, what made her explode?

The knocking on the door continued.

Seeing her half-naked, it gave Mu Xiaojiu mixed feelings.

Supressing his boiling rage, he strode to the bed.

With a swift wave of his big hand, a sheet was securely laid over her body.

After another look at her, he finally turned towards the door.

Outside, Nangong Yun was standing there.

As Mu Xiaojiu opened the door, she wanted to enter, but he blocked her path standing by the door.

However, Nangong Yun didn’t seem to mind, she only gave him an up and down look, “Are you okay?”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t reply but simply asked, “What’s going on?”

Nangong Yun immediately understood that he didn’t like discussing issues about Baili Xia.

Just as his brother said, Baili Xia indeed meant something different to him.

No wonder, he would rather suffer the poisoning himself, than scare that little girl.

Did he really care for her that much?
