Chapter 498: Rather Die than Lose Face Suffer While Alive_1

Looking at Mr.

Xiaojiu’s gentle movements and listening to his voice, as soft as water, Nangong Xu sighed deeply inside.

Mr.

Xiaojiu… always prioritizes his pride, even unto death.

In terms of emotions, Mr.

Xiaojiu…

truly lacks courage.

He’d rather people call him a bastard than hear anyone call him nurturing even once.

Such a tough man truly troubles others when he’s in love.

Mu Xiaojiu continued to rub Baili Xia’s shoulders, not paying any attention to Nangong Xu’s thoughts.

His fingers rested on her eyebrows, attempting to smooth out the creases on her forehead.

Yet, Baili Xia kept her brows furrowed.

Although her eyes seemed relaxed, her forehead remained scrunched up.

Perhaps it wasn’t because of pain, but rather her discomfort that he was aware of.

She called him scum tonight, she yelled at him.

Those scenes repeatedly flashed through his head.

He knew he had truly hurt her.

She was right, both he and Xiaoyao didn’t treat her as a person, but merely as a tool.

No one ever considered her feelings, no one cared about her thoughts, and desires.

He never wanted to force her, if he could, he hoped to get along well with her.

But how could he accept the fact that the little creature had another man in her heart?

Collecting his thoughts, he continued to gently massage her.

As long as the little creature is asleep, as long as she no longer lashes out at him, he could show his gentleness.

But he didn’t even know why he would lose his temper and become violent when both of them were awake.

He couldn’t understand, truly couldn’t understand.

Nangong Xu had been staying close by, originally intending to take over rubbing Baili Xia’s shoulders when Mr.

Xiaojiu ran out of patience.

However, he had been waiting for over an hour.

Mr.

Xiaojiu quietly sat there the whole time, peacefully doing the only thing he had to do.

He showed no impatience, and when he looked at Baili Xia, his gaze was as gentle as a spring breeze.

Sightings of such Mr.

Xiaojiu were scarce in a lifetime.

Who else in the world could receive such treatment from him other than Baili Xia?

But why couldn’t he treat her well when she’s awake?

Must she collapse or pass out before he dares to show his warmth?

Did this tough man, Mr.

Xiaojiu, not realise that sometimes, a few sweet words could easily move a woman’s heart, even more than tens of discreet actions behind her back?

Even medical texts say that women are auditory creatures.

A few emotionally charged words now and then would make her devoted to you.

Nangong Xu didn’t even know what he was thinking about.

Looking at Mu Xiaojiu again, he was still gently rubbing Baili Xia’s shoulders, showing not the slightest hint of impatience.

Nangong Xu eventually could no longer hold up and stood up.

He yawned and took one last glance at Mu Xiaojiu’s lofty figure.

He pursed his lips and said: “Mr.

Xiaojiu, since you are staying here to take care of her, I will head back to rest first.”

Mu Xiaojiu didn’t respond.

Nangong Xu straightaway left the room and closed the door behind him.

Early in the morning was the best time for sleep.

If someone was willing to do the tedious task, why would he refuse?

As for the two people in the room, one was asleep, the other was laying on her.

One was asleep peacefully, while the other one was studying her face, increasingly entranced by it.

Time seemed to stop at that moment.

If it stayed like this forever, would their days be better?
