Chapter 380: Who Is It That Can't Forget 13_1

“”My mother just had surgery and is still recovering.”

Nothing else needs to be said.

Baili Xia lowered her eyes, a flash of helplessness in her gaze.

She still had an agreement with her uncle, she still had many burdens to bear, and loads of pressure.

Now, she just can’t do whatever she pleases.

Now, it’s not the right time.

Give her some more time, and she will definitely become stronger!

Although she said nothing, Dongfang Ji could feel the heaviness in her heart.

Just a moment ago, she was filled with anger, but now, there was no trace of it.

Instead, he started to feel tender towards the girl in front of him.

She wasn’t as frail as she appeared, within her delicate body, there was such a strong heart.

How much can a girl withstand?

Carrying such a heavy burden, for her to persist was not easy.

Catching sight of a figure approaching from not far away, he suddenly tightened his grip.

He leaned in close to Baili Xia, saying softly beside her.

“I now understand what you’ve been through, do you want to vent your frustrations?”

Baili Xia looked at him, perplexed.

Dongfang Ji spoke softly again, “Don’t worry, don’t say anything, just watch me.”

He stood straight, but suddenly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.

The figure noticeably quickened his pace, and in a blink of an eye, stood before them.

His face was stern, his voice cold, “What are you two doing?”

“Brother.” Dongfang Ji held Baili Xia tight, he didn’t allow her to struggle.

Upon hearing the word “Brother”, Baili Xia suddenly understood.

Turns out, he wanted to provoke his brother.

In her heart, she had indeed been holding some grievances for a long time.

Now, she really wanted to see what Dongfang Jin’s reaction would be.

So she stopped struggling and let Dongfang Ji hold her

Dongfang Jin’s gaze fell on the arm around her, his fingers kept tightening.

“What are you guys doing?

Let go of your hand!”

“What’s the matter, brother?

Xiaxia is my new girlfriend, why should I let go?”

As Dongfang Ji said this, he not only didn’t let go, but rather held Baili Xia even tighter.

“Girlfriend?” Dongfang Jin clenched his fist tighter, even his knuckles were cracking.

He stared at Baili Xia, fury burning in his eyes.

“You agreed to be his girlfriend?

What are you trying to accomplish?”

Accomplish…Being hit by that word, Baili Xia lifted her head to meet his gaze.

She gave a curt smile, “In the eyes of Mr.

Dongfang Jin, does everything I do have an ulterior motive?”

“If there’s no ulterior motive, why would you deliberately get close to Ji?”

“Don’t you think that Ji is more charming than many other men?

Being his girlfriend is my honor, why does it become this way when you mention it?”

She leaned against Dongfang Ji, looking blissful and content.

“Why is it okay for you to have a girlfriend, even a fiancée, but not for others to pair up?”

“Baili Xia!” Dongfang Jin practically spat out the three characters from between his teeth.

His palm tightened and tightened, his knuckles turning white.

“Stop playing games in front of me, Ji has a bad temper, he’s not suitable for you.”

“Then, who do you think suits me?

From what I know, none of the men I know have good tempers, including you, Mr.

Dongfang Jin.”
