Chapter 608: Are you still mad at me_1

“Call me Jin,” Dongfang Jin’s voice was a bit harsh, abruptly cutting off Baili Xia’s farewell.

Every time she used the term, Mr.

Jin, it hurt him somewhere.

“…Jin.” Baili Xia, helpless, finally called him so.

At the familiar address, Dongfang Jin’s heart startled.

Deep down, he felt a slight pang of heartache.

He took a deep breath, his voice was low and almost magnetic.

“Is what Mu Xiaojiu said true?” he asked.

Baili Xia knew what he was referring to.

Uncle said she was going to get engaged to Brother; that’s what he meant.

This was something Baili Xia didn’t want to talk about.

But after Dongfang Jin found out, he couldn’t let it go.

He himself didn’t know why, having already left.

Suddenly he came back to school, just to ask her if it was true.

Seeing that Baili Xia didn’t answer, he confirmed his guess once again.

“Is it because they forced you? Don’t worry, I’m here, you don’t have to be afraid of anything.”

He stepped forward to grab Baili Xia’s hand.

But Baili Xia stepped back, avoiding him.

They had already split up, and she didn’t want Dongfang Jin to misunderstand anything.

Even if the previous misunderstandings had been cleared up, they couldn’t go back to the past.

Besides, she didn’t want anyone to know the truth about her marrying Mu Xiaoyao.

“Yes, I’m about to get engaged to brother,” she responded calmly.

“Was it that bastard Mu Xiaojiu who forced you?” He clenched his big palm, fiery anger burning in his heart.

“Nobody forced me.” Engaging with Brother, it’s merely their wishful thinking.

At least, she had never agreed.

But she didn’t want Dongfang Jin to know the struggles in her heart.

And she definitely didn’t want to drag him into it.

She collected her thoughts and put on a slight smile.

“Jin, I’m actually doing well in the Mu family.

Grandpa and everyone are really taking good care of me.”

“As for whom I’m getting engaged to, or with whom I end up, these are things…

you shouldn’t worry about.”

“Xiaxia, are you still mad at me?”

Dongfang Jin’s eyes darkened, devoid of their usual brightness today.

Before heading out in the morning, Nangong Xu had given him a blood transfusion.

For some reason, after the blood had entered his body, his memories had gradually become clearer.

They were clearer than those he had remembered when the two had fallen into the sea.

As for the unpleasant memories, they had magically become increasingly blurry.

He had figured out a lot of things.

But he didn’t want to figure it all out.

Because if he saw everything clearly, he might…

lose the person he cared about the most.

“I am not angry,” Baili Xia’s eyes twinkled.

They were clear as day.

She really wasn’t angry, not at all.

“I, in the past…” Dongfang Jin brooded over this.

“In the past, that whole year, no matter what you’ve done, it wasn’t your fault.”

Since it was out of his control, what’s the point of blaming him?

As long as he is well now, isn’t that good enough?

“Jin, how are you now…” She hesitated, knowing that he had received a blood transfusion from Nangong Xu.

But she didn’t know how it had turned out.

Probably intuiting her thoughts, Dongfang Jin bit his lip.

“Now, I feel much better, no longer suddenly suffering from a headache when trying to remember things.”

Baili Xia’s eyes brightened, a hint of joy spilling out, “So it means, the blood really works?”
