Chapter 278: I Want You 03_1

Nangong Qingqing hesitated before finally deciding to follow.

Watching Baili Xia’s slim figure, she whispered, “Don’t provoke Nangong Yun.

Remember my words.”

Baili Xia was slightly startled.

By the time she had turned around, Nangong Qingqing had already walked away.

Don’t provoke Nangong Yun…

She had spoken of Nangong Yun, not her sister.

The Nangong Qingqing in front of her now seemed gloomy; where was the brightness she showed yesterday?

Also, she was calling her sister by name?

Could it be possible that the sisters weren’t as close as they appeared to be?

However, given Nangong Yun’s abnormal behavior, it’s hardly surprising that her sister didn’t like her.

…

Nangong Xu was already waiting at the entrance of Sihai Residence.

Just like the day before, they walked into Nangong Xu’s medical room.

This time, Nangong Xu seemed serious; he even appeared somewhat cold.

“Feel free to speak.” His hesitation made Baili Xia uneasy.

“Did Uncle…”

“No.” Nangong Xu cut her off.

He looked at her again before calmly speaking, “I will only proceed with your consent.

If you disagree, I won’t agree either.”

Baili Xia didn’t say anything.

She just looked at him.

Although she didn’t know Nangong Xu very well yet, she had never seen him show any emotion other than coldness during their interactions so far.

Nangong Xu knew she was waiting for him to continue.

He pursed his lips slightly, his voice gentle.

“Nangong Yun knows about the blood transfusion you’re giving to Mr.

Xiaojiu.”

Seeing her eyebrows raise, he immediately clarified, “She’s an expert at making poison and has deeply researched potent toxins.”

“So, it was actually you who invited her, not Uncle?”

It was unexpected to Baili Xia.

It wasn’t Uncle who had invited her here.

Nangong Xu nodded, “The poison that’s being extracted needs her help to create the antidote.”

“So…” Baili Xia felt slightly annoyed when Nangong Yun came into the conversation.

She really didn’t like that woman.

She looked at Nangong Xu, “What are you trying to say?”

“She agreed to help, but there’s one condition.”

This wasn’t easy for him to say.

Even the usually composed Nangong Xu felt somewhat embarrassed.

Considering the shameless request.

“She wants me to tell Mr.

Xiaojiu that the person who gave him the blood transfusion to detoxify him was her, not you.”

Feeling Baili Xia’s sudden chill, he quickly added, “You can refuse.

I’ll accept whatever you decide.”

“Why would you think I might agree?” She found such a shameless request absurd.

Unless, the matter indeed proved beneficial to her.

“If the antidote can be synthesized quickly, then there will be no need for you to keep doing blood transfusions for Mr.

Xiaojiu.

That way, the harm to your body can be lessened.”

If it wasn’t for this reason, Nangong Xu wouldn’t have ever considered it, let alone mention it to Baili Xia.

Extracting so much blood every day was indeed harmful.

But he couldn’t just let Mr.

Xiaojiu die.

Now there was another way to save Mr.

Xiaojiu without harming her, he would naturally like to try it.

However, since it wasn’t his blood, whether to agree or not was entirely up to Baili Xia.

“I refuse.” That was Baili Xia’s response.

Nangong Xu pondered for a moment, then continued, “You may have to continue blood transfusions for another ten days.”

Despite his warning, Baili Xia just looked at him, her face calm, “I refuse.”
