Chapter 502: Do You Really Hate Him That Much

Baili Xia immediately retracted the step she has taken out.

She shot Mu Xiaoyao a disgruntled look.

However, ultimately, she climbed into the passenger seat after he had opened the door for her.

Just as she was about to put on her seatbelt after getting seated, Mu Xiaoyao, already in the driver’s seat, beat her to it with his big palm.

He pulled the safety belt down for her and set it in place.

“You can’t move your hand freely, don’t fumble around.” He said.

Baili Xia gave him a sidelong glance and shook her head: “I’m fine, it’s much better now.”

“So you recovered quickly.

Is Nangong Xu’s medicine really that effective?”

Baili Xia nodded, “All thanks to Mr.

Nangong.”

How was she supposed to repay Nangong Xu’s kindness, who had massaged her hand all night without even closing his eyes once?

He was just a doctor after all, and rejected any sort of monetary compensation.

She had no choice but to stay indebted to him.

Not wanting to dwell on it further, she collected her thoughts, gave him another glance.

“Brother, let’s go.

I’m going to be late.”

“I have a copy of your timetable.

You don’t have any pressing classes today.”

Despite what he said, Mu Xiaoyao started driving towards the gate of the Mu Mansion.

Baili Xia didn’t bother responding, nor did she want to look at him.

Whenever he was around, she would remember the scenes of Uncle pressuring her, and taking advantage of her last night.

She didn’t know how much her Brother had seen.

But, after last night, facing him now, she feels exposed, like she is completely bared in front of him.

Only those who have been through this can understand how hard it is.

If it were possible, she truly didn’t want to face any of them again.

She stared at the flowers and plants in the front courtyard through the car window.

Her gaze didn’t move until it landed on the gate of Sihai Residence.

Suddenly, her eyes darkened and she quickly collected her gaze and turned her head back to the car.

There he was, a tall silhouette leaning against the gate.

The golden morning glow showered upon him, casting a long shadow of his on the ground.

His silhouette was rather lonely yet chilly that no one dared to approach.

No, how could that man possibly be alone?

Plenty of people, men and women alike hovering around him constantly.

Rich, influential, and incredibly handsome man.

A man who has everything he could desire, why would he portray such a lonely silhouette?

It’s all a lie.

“Do you really hate him that much?” Mu Xiaoyao didn’t look at her.

But he seemed to have spotted who she saw and figured what she’d be thinking.

Baili Xia didn’t speak, leaned back on the seat ignoring Xiaoyao and the outside.

She closed her eyes and rested.

The car finally drove out of the Mu Mansion, disappearing from Mu Xiaojiu’s view.

Only when he could no longer see the car did he withdraw his gaze.

“Mr.

Xiaojiu, the project in Licheng, needs Mr.

Xiaojiu to be there personally.

You’ve put it off for two days, we can’t delay it any further.”

Ye Hua came up behind him, well aware of whom he was observing.

Still, he had to act as an unwelcome reminder at the moment.

Nine Master didn’t want to go, but this major project truly needed him.

Mu Xiaojiu remained silent, still leaning against the gate, his eyes lost somewhere far.

Seeing him in this state, Ye Hua didn’t dare say more.

He was instead silently waiting by his side, waiting.

Waiting for Mr.

Xiaojiu to notice him, or for him to make a decision.

However, he stood there all along in utter silence,

The silhouette under the sun, casting a heavy shadow on the ground, was inexplicably heavy…
