Chapter 279: I Want You 04_1

The blood extraction continued as before, just that this time, the rate of blood flow was slower than yesterday.

This slight change in speed might not be noticeable to a layman like Baili Xia.

However, Nangong Xu, who has studied medicine for many years, could clearly see it.

The little girl was still frail.

“Even though I’m not letting Nangong Yun take credit for your good deed, I won’t tell Mr.

Xiaojiu that you’re the one saving her.”

After extracting the blood, Nangong Xu looked at Baili Xia’s somewhat pale face and reaffirmed his statement.

“I don’t care.” Baili Xia tried to stand up, but felt somewhat dizzy.

She had to remain seated for a while longer to regain her strength.

The words Uncle said to her yesterday might possibly remain etched in her memory forever.

If she’s just a plaything in his heart, what difference would it make whether she talked about it or not?

She had no more extravagant hopes.

When he regains his health, when she saves enough money to pay him back, they…

they will become strangers.

She has her own future.

Uncle will one day become a part of her past.

After taking a deep breath, Baili Xia took the Blood Tonic Soup Medicine that Nangong Xu had given her and drank it all in one go.

Then, she got up, and without saying another word, she headed towards the door.

“Aren’t you going with me to see Mr.

Xiaojiu?”

Her departure left Nangong Xu completely puzzled about her thoughts.

“No, I have to train with Brother today, so I don’t have time.”

“You…”

“Don’t worry, I promised you I wouldn’t talk nonsense.

I won’t say a word, whether I see Uncle or not.”

Leaving these words behind, Baili Xia left.

Nangong Xu stared at the empty doorway, a bit lost.

Could this girl truly be so indifferent?

If she insisted on saying it, there was nothing he could do.

If she said it and Mr.

Xiaojiu found out, then he might feel sympathetic towards her and treat her better in the future.

If Baili Xia were selfish enough, she should find a way to let Mr.

Xiaojiu know about this.

However, from the way she spoke just now, he could tell that she had no intentions of doing so.

Should he say that she’s too naive, too foolish, or too innocent?

This excellent opportunity could bring her nothing but good.

If she didn’t want to see Mr.

Xiaojiu today, did she really voluntarily come to help just for Mr.

Xiaojiu’s health?

In the world of the wealthy, how could there be such a pure-hearted girl?

Could Baili Xia be an exception?

…A small commotion outside brought Nangong Xu back to his senses.

Ignoring the person who entered, he turned back to the desk to prepare things for Mr.

Xiaojiu’s blood transfusion.

“Big Brother, I really don’t understand what you’re clinging on to?”

Nangong Yun walked in, staring at his busy back.

Last night, he actually turned down her request not to tell Mr.

Xiaojiu that the blood was actually hers.

He even said that he needed to seek Baili Xia’s opinion before he could give her a reply.

Would that girl ever agree?

It’s a point that didn’t even need to be thought about.

“The way she’s acting now clearly shows that she wants Mr.

Xiaojiu to feel sorry for her once he knows the truth.”

Looking at his towering figure, Nangong Yun scoffed.

“The more Mr.

Xiaojiu cares for her, the more dangerous his situation will become.

Big Brother, have you thought about this?”

“She promised not to tell,” Nangong Xu nonchalantly replied without turning his head.

“You trust her so much?” she really wanted to fly into a rage.

Even so, her big brother was not someone she could control.

Therefore, in front of her big brother, she still had to maintain a bit of grace.

Lucky for her, she had vented out on Nangong Qingqing this morning; else, she would surely go mad from the anger!
