Chapter 271: Just Like Her Body

“It’s nothing, just came to see when you’re heading back, it’s getting late,” Nangong Yun said softly.

Mu Xiaojiu was still impulsively wanting to look back, but in the end, he held back.

This little creature is disobedient, let her reflect on it herself.

Otherwise, she would keep being so arrogant.

No longer paying attention to the girl in the room, he was about to step out.

However, the sound of Nangong Yun came floating in again.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, I like this girl.

The competition of the Eight Big Families is near, why don’t you leave her to me?”

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze deepened even more, but, he did not refuse.

Baili Xia, who was in the room, felt as if her heart was being wrenched in pain.

Nangong Yun once said that Uncle would agree to anything she asks for.

As expected, Uncle agreed.

“These children always need someone to watch over them.

Don’t you trust me when I say I’ll take care of her?

Or is it that, Mr.

Xiaojiu, you can’t bear to part with her?” Nangong Yun continued.

“Do as you please.” Mu Xiaojiu left a chilly phrase and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Nangong Yun glanced at the tightly closed door; her thin lips curled up.

Did the little creature hear it?

It was just a simple matter for her to take someone.

Leaving her training to me, this will be fun.

With another light smile, she turned to follow Mu Xiaojiu.

By the time she reached his side, the triumphant smile on her face had once again turned into a gentle and tender one.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, do you feel uncomfortable?

If you need it, I can lend you some strength like I did just now.”

“No need.” Mu Xiaojiu did not look back, and his footsteps were steady.

Nangong Yun, trailing behind him, really didn’t understand this man.

When he first came out from the Sihai Residence, he had just undergone acupuncture treatment from Nangong Xu and looked very weak.

But now, after only a meal and a little over half an hour of rest, he looked much better.

Yet his eyebrows were still slightly furrowed, she knew, he was not really alright, it’s just that, he is still holding on

Indeed, Mu Xiaojiu was holding on.

When he came out from the Sihai Residence, he was even finding it hard to walk.

Now, as long as he could hold on, he did not want anyone to touch him.

Even if it was Nangong Yun, whom he had known since he was young, it was the same.

…

The path back to the Sihai Residence from the main house wasn’t very far.

But this time, Mu Xiaojiu walked particularly slowly.

Not because of his body, but because, he has an impulse to look back and check on his little creature.

The image of her slumped there, silent and unresponsive, wouldn’t leave his mind.

That scene, to some extent, made his heart very uncomfortable.

But he had talked tough when he left, wanting her to learn a lesson.

Going back to look for her now, wouldn’t that be like slapping his own face?

So, even if he was reluctant, he still walked back step by step.

In the main hall of the Sihai Residence, Nangong Xu, Nangong Qingqing, Ye Hua and Leng Yu were all there.

Seeing Mu Xiaojiu walk in, everyone except Nangong Qingqing stood up hastily.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu.” Nangong Xu was at the forefront.

Ye Hua and Leng Yu didn’t dare to delay Nangong Xu’s check-up of Mr.

Xiaojiu and followed behind.

What surprised the three of them was that Mr.

Xiaojiu was still very weak when he left, but he could now walk back on his own.

He did not need Nangong Yun’s support, and even his steps were stable.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, how are you feeling?” Even Nangong Xu felt surprised.

Isn’t this rate of recovery too fast?

“I am fine.” Mu Xiaojiu hummed faintly, and turned to walk upstairs.
