Chapter 609: How Well Do You Think I Know You_1

“That blood?” Dongfang Jin’s eyes darkened, fixing his gaze on Baili Xia’s face.

“Do you know how Mr. Nangong detoxified me?”

Why does that blood sound very different?

Could it be, it’s not ordinary blood from the blood bank?

Baili Xia realized she had inadvertently let something slip in her carelessness.

Hastily, she forced out a smile, using it to mask her guilt.

“I went to ask Mr. Nangong this morning, he said, try the method of blood transfusion, to see if it would be effective.”

Dongfang Jin still stared at her face.

He was too familiar with every expression on her face.

When she felt guilty, she would smile just like she’s doing now.

The smile was insincere, devoid of honesty.

Was she lying, or hiding something?

He moved closer, merely half a step, but Baili Xia instantly felt immense pressure.

She hastily took two steps back, keeping her distance from him.

She turned her face away, gazing at an unfamiliar corner.

“I…Jin, I have something else…

”

“How well do you think I know you?” Dongfang Jin said with a smile.

He didn’t continue to approach, just stood there, silently watching her.

“Can you lie in front of me?”

She didn’t know how to hide her panic.

To prevent him from probing further, she could only choose a topic that would hurt him the most.

“If you really knew me so well, why didn’t you believe me when I explained it to you back then?”

Those few words stabbed deep wounds into Dongfang Jin’s heart, causing it to bleed.

He knew it, she was still angry with him, she was still unwilling to forgive him.

“I’m sorry.”

“I don’t need your apologies. I’m not blaming you.”

Knowing that if they continued this discussion, he would blame himself again, Baili Xia had to stop this topic.

At least, he didn’t continue to question her about the bag of blood.

“Jin, I really have to go back now. An Ran is waiting for me.”

He didn’t say anything.

As Baili Xia was about to leave, he finally spoke again.

“…Don’t leave. Stay with me, just walk with me.”

…

The gentle breeze blew, fanning their faces and bodies, offering a unexplainable refreshing feeling.

They walked on the shaded path, peaceful and soft.

During the past two years, after dinner every day, Baili Xia would insist, urging Dongfang Jin to take a walk with her.

Even if it was for a few minutes, even if it was indoors.

Even in the beginning, when he had a particularly violent temper, she persisted.

After letting him vent and yell at her, she would put on her signature smile.

Smiling at him, she would softly say to him: “Jin, it’s time, let’s go for a walk.”

Back then, how terrible was his temper?

Lu Xuening couldn’t bear it, and left crying after staying in the other courtyard only for a few days.

Only Baili Xia, only this young girl, didn’t see any of this as a problem and decided to stay.

He even suspected, without her company then, could his leg have really healed?

“Talk about your life at the Mu family, why did you agree to stay?”

His soft voice was like a gentle breeze on the lakeside, warm.

Though this question, it caused Baili Xia’s heart to instantly chill.

A lot of bitter emotions surged in her mind, bitter and full.

But ultimately she only managed a light smile, after the smile, she became calm again.

“The Mu family is good. At least I don’t have to live a tough life anymore, right?”

Kicking away a pebble on the road, the light-hearted atmosphere she deliberately created, was completely shattered by a sentence from Dongfang Jin.
