Chapter 499: What Exactly Did She Do Wrong_1

Nangong Xu walked straight out the door, not forgetting to close it behind him.

The wee hours of the morning were the best time for sleep, and since someone was willing to play the role of the responsible one, why should he refuse?

As for the two people left in the room, one was sleeping, the other was lying prone.

One slept soundly while the other watched the face of the sleeping one, becoming more and more fascinated by the sight.

Time seemed to stop in this moment.

If it could stay this way forever, would their lives be better?

Now, the little creature was lying quietly by his side.

Mu Xiaojiu felt that the little creature wholly belonged to him.

From head to toe, inside and out, from her body to her heart, she was entirely his.

There was no Dongfang Jin, no past to hinder them.

The person she cared about most was not that damn man, but him.

Just like now, she was completely his.

But when she woke up, her heart would yet again be preoccupied with another man.

When she looked at him, her gaze would fill with disgust and hatred.

She hated him, hated him for taking her innocence.

She resented him for keeping her by his side and using her.

Mu Xiaojiu knew all of these things, but he couldn’t let her go.

Whether it was for certain objectives, or simply wanting to keep her by his side.

By now, he couldn’t let her leave.

Mu Xiaoyao’s words kept circling in his head.

How should he arrange for her when this affair came to an end.

When this affair ends…

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and continued massaging her shoulders.

As for the future, he would think about it later.

This journey still had quite a ways to go, when would they reach the end?

…

That night, Baili Xia had many dreams.

The dreams flowed one after another, each of them a nightmare.

Each one leaving her so distressed that she could hardly breathe.

In many of those dreams, in that dimly lit world, Mu Xiaojiu was on top of her.

Except for pain, she felt nothing else.

It should be impossible to feel pain in a dream, but it really hurt.

She didn’t know where the pain was, it seemed like her whole body was in pain.

The pain seemed to slowly gather in her shoulders.

In short, it really hurt.

The pain was intense, tears kept falling.

But Uncle simply bullied her without caring at all.

She thought he would have at least a bit of pity for her, alas, he did not, not one bit!

She didn’t want him to bully her anymore, didn’t want him to torture her anymore!

What did she do wrong for him to treat her this way?

Those nightmares chased one after the other, as one finished, the other one immediately started.

She was entangled in the dreams, wanting to escape.

She knew it was a dream and that she needed to wake up.

But she couldn’t wake up, her eyelids felt so heavy that she couldn’t even open them.

But eventually, the nightmares seemed to hurt less, and everything around her gradually became clearer.

She seemed to feel herself lying there, someone rubbing her shoulders.

The rubbing continued, gentle, tender, and comforting.

There was also his voice, soft like the wind blowing during spring.

It softened the heart, warming and strangely sweet.

He said to her: “Don’t be afraid, it won’t hurt anymore, I’ll be gentler, gentler and it won’t hurt…”

Afterwards, she indeed felt that her shoulders hurt less.

The scent of medicinal liquor filled the air, carrying an atmosphere that somehow comforted her.

Surrounded by this familiar scent, she slowly found peace in her sleep, and her body relaxed.

She slept until the following morning.

As the first ray of sunlight seeped in through the window, Baili Xia blinked open her eyes, gradually taking in her surroundings.

She also took in the sight of the tall figure in front of her.
