Chapter 273: Just Like Her Body

Nangong Yun had always thought that Mr.

Xiaojiu would never fall for a woman in his lifetime.

In that case, when the time came for a political marriage, they would probably really get married.

After all, Mr.

Xiaojiu despised all women.

If he had to marry, he might as well marry a woman who didn’t like him.

In such a case, the woman wouldn’t influence any of his affairs after the marriage.

Therefore, she had always been playing such a role—just a friend without any affection for him.

Everything could wait until they got married.

After the marriage, she would have endless opportunities to show off her charm and goodness to him.

But now!

Why would there be a Baili Xia?

The girl’s influence on Mr.

Xiaojiu had reached an astounding degree!

She couldn’t, absolutely couldn’t, let things continue in this path!

Any woman who wanted to get close to Mr.

Xiaojiu only had one way to go—death!

…

Mu Xiaojiu’s recovery was indeed miraculous, almost unmatched by any ordinary person.

However, there was a possibility that it was Baili Xia’s blood that had played a great role.

Before leaving Sihai Residence in the evening, Nangong Xu had applied a needle to him for detoxification.

When he returned to check on him, he found that the poison had significantly lightened.

Besides Mr.

Xiaojiu, Nangong Xu couldn’t find another person with such an extraordinary physical constitution.

However, it seemed that Mr.

Xiaojiu was in a terrible mood tonight, he was particularly irritable the whole night.

So, after the check-up, Nangong Xu, Ye Hua, and Leng Yu were all driven out.

Mr.

Xiaojiu had never been easy-going, but it was rare for him to be this volatile.

Ever since he was punished to go “run laps” around the mountains, Ye Hua has become even more cautious in front of Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Especially when it came to Baili Xia’s matters, he didn’t dare utter a word carelessly.

Miss Xiaxia was Mr.

Xiaojiu’s taboo.

Anyone who speaks about her recklessly would face nasty consequences.

…Nangong Xu returned to his medical office in no time.

He just didn’t expect to find Nangong Yun sitting there, waiting for him when he returned.

“How is Mr.

Xiaojiu doing?” As soon as he entered, Nangong Yun immediately asked.

“Not bad.” She was aware that he was always short on words.

When Nangong Xu sat down at his computer to analyze the poison, Nangong Yun got up and stood behind him, looking at the data on the screen with him.

“Brother, I need to take these toxins back for research,” she asked.

Nangong Xu paused his work but didn’t turn around, his words were soft, “Father asked you to stop researching on this poison when he passed away, you should manage the group well.”

Even though Nangong Yun was not born from the same mother as he was, their father had asked him to take care of his sister on his deathbed.

At least, within his capabilities, he would try to guide her more.

“I just want to help Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Studying the poison doesn’t have any other purpose,” she asserted.

Nangong Yun laughed and pulled up a chair to sit next to him, looking up at his handsome face.

“Brother, the assassins are getting more reckless, and the person behind them, we have yet to uncover.”

“You’re just a medical student, your research on poison isn’t deep, if you join hands with me, we can become stronger.”

“Mr.

Xiaojiu wouldn’t use poisoning as a method to deal with people, I advise you to get rid of that idea,” Nangong Xu commented indifferently.

Nangong Yun threw him a glance, seeing how engrossed he was in examining the data.

She pursed her lips, not saying anything more.

This older half-brother of hers had a temperament that was somewhat like Mr.

Xiaojiu’s.

Stubborn, once he made a decision, it was hard for anyone to change it.
