Chapter 486: Jin is a good person you are the jerk _1

When he heard Baili Xia say she didn’t know what to do and had to go to Uncle for help, a sense of relief swept over him.

The gloom that had shrouded Mu Xiaojiu all night finally lifted slightly.

At least, when this girl faced difficulties, she would come to him.

Today’s incident made Mu Xiaojiu see things clearly.

Mu Xiaoyao’s behavior at dinner was intended to irritate him, wasn’t it?

No wonder Xiaoyao, who never had any particular fondness for Baili Xia, suddenly brought up the subject of marriage.

That brat…

While Baili Xia was still drunk, he hesitated, and unexpectedly asked a question that even he hadn’t anticipated.

“Do…

do you still like Dongfang Jin?”

The moment the question left his lips, he wanted to bite off his own tongue.

He couldn’t believe that he, of all people, could ask such a clumsy question, which was completely out of character for his aloof and noble image.

But after asking, why did he feel anxious looking at Baili Xia?

No, he wasn’t anxious.

Who said he was anxious?

He was just…a bit curious, genuinely just curious.

Who she liked didn’t concern him at all.

He had said before, all that mattered was that her body belonged to him.

“Jin…” Baili Xia’s lips quivered.

“Don’t call him ‘Jin’.

Call him Dongfang Jin!” Hearing her use that familiar name instantly ruffled his mood.

“But he is Jin.” She pouted, starting to complain.

“Jin is Jin, I have always… uh, always called him that.

He is Jin!”

“Don’t call him that!” His mood, which had just improved, sank back down.

Jin, Jin!

She spoke it so intimately, as if he didn’t even exist!

“I will call him.

Jin is Jin.

He is Jin!”

Mu Xiaojiu hadn’t expected that the little creature, when drunk, could be so fiery!

How audacious!

Daring to shout and make a fuss in front of him, was she tired of living?

Mu Xiaojiu had the urge to twist her tiny head off, if only he could bear to do it.

Given that she was still not sober, he swallowed his anger, not wanting to stoop to the level of a drunkard.

He cleared his throat and asked again: “So, do you… still like that bastard Jin?”

“Jin is not a bastard, he’s not a bastard at all.”

“Baili Xia!” Was she asking for death?

“Who are you?

You’re the bastard.

You’re bullying me!”

The girl raised her tiny fists in anger, raining down punches on his chest.

“Jin is not a bastard.

Don’t say Jin is a bastard.

He’s a very good, very good friend of mine.”

“Bad guy!

You’re the bad guy!

You’re the bastard!”

“…” He really, really wanted to twist her head off, for real this time!

“Jin is really not a bastard, he’s just… just harmed by Lu Xuening…”

Baili Xia seemed to have no strength left and fell back into Mu Xiaojiu’s arms, murmuring softly.

Whether it was loss or sadness, even her gaze had turned dim.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xiaojiu’s heart was stabbed with pain.

This girl, she still liked Dongfang Jin.

She liked him…

If it hadn’t been for that incident a year ago, would she be with Dongfang Jin by now?

It was not impossible to investigate what had happened back then, but now everyone in the Dongfang Family was convinced that it was Lu Xuening.

Even if this foolish girl obtained evidence to prove her innocence, what good would it do?

No one would believe her.

They simply subconsciously did not want to believe.

As for the key figure, Dongfang Jin, even if he was presented with evidence, what good would it do, given he was put under hypnosis?

Unless he could remember himself.

Was her determination to make Dongfang Jin better just so she could return to him one day?
