Chapter 446: Is it Admiration or Secret Photography 01_1

Baili Xia was originally full of resentment, hating Uncle for demanding her while wanting other women.

But now, she didn’t hate him, but had understood the reality.

In this situation, she was utterly powerless.

As long as she could cure Dongfang Jin, as long as she worked hard to earn money, returned it to Uncle, after clearing the agreement, she would have nothing more to do with him.

The girl’s face, originally flushed red, was now veiled with a pale hue.

That touch of panic and bitterness, Mu Xiaojiu could not understand, nor did he know how to understand.

All he knew was that seeing her pale face inexplicably tightened his heart.

Something was stinging deep in his heart, painful and unpleasant.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

Women, perhaps they are not to be spoiled.

The more they are spoiled, the more unruly they become.

Especially since the man in her heart was someone else.

Under these circumstances, how could he continue to indulge her?

“Rest a bit, then go to school.”

He turned his face away, took out a cigarette from a hidden compartment and lit it with a “pop”.

He took a deep puff, then slowly exhaled.

The carriage was immediately filled with the smell of tobacco.

Not wanting to go to class smelling of cigarettes and be looked down on by her peers, Baili Xia quickly freshened herself up.

“Uncle, I’m going to class.” Grabbing her bag, she carefully got out of the car.

Just as she stepped out, a wave of sour pain shot through her from her thighs.

Her legs gave out, and she nearly fell.

Mu Xiaojiu’s palm twitched, ready to rush over and support her.

But, she managed to steady herself.

Watching her leave, looking at the closed car door, Mu Xiaojiu’s heart inexplicably sank again.

Why, in seeing her about to fall, did his angry self not think of anything else but embracing her?

Why did it pain him to see her suffer the slightest injury?

Where did all these feelings come from, was he too concerned about her?

The moment he thought of this, Mu Xiaojiu immediately got upset.

He casually brushed back his messy fringe, taking a deep drag from his cigarette.

“Start the car.”

The cold, resolute voice was such that even Ye Hua was nearly scared out of his wits.

He didn’t know what was up with Mr.

Xiaojiu, but it was pretty clear he was in a bad mood.

Ye Hua didn’t dare to think too much, immediately stepping on the accelerator.

The car zoomed out of the gate of the Imperial College like an arrow, disappearing into the busy traffic in a blink…

…

The moment Baili Xia got out of the car, she felt like she had just been through Hell itself.

She was glad to have survived, but she was pretty much physically drained.

Her legs were both sore and tired.

Each step brought a pang of humiliation that made her wish for death.

Men, particularly those in a rage, were not to be provoked.

If you provoked them, it was as if you’d provoked the Grim Reaper himself.

Glancing back, the stretch Hummer was already moving out of sight.

Only when it had completely disappeared from her sight did Baili Xia breathe out a sigh of relief.

Finally, she’d sent Uncle away.

From last night to this morning, when she had left the Mu Mansion after breakfast, she had tried her best to serve him.

He wouldn’t go back on his word, would he?

He promised to find Nangong Yun, would he do so, right?

Subconsciously, she really resisted any contact between Uncle and Nangong Yun.

But with Dongfang Jin’s situation hanging in the balance, not solving it was equivalent to giving up on him entirely.

After weighing the pros and cons, she had no other choice.
