Chapter 912: You Disobey I Am Heartbroken

“Poissoned…” Mu Xiaojiu glanced at Baili Xia, his thin lips slightly pursed.

Today was supposed to be a casual outing, wasn’t it?

Where did this concern about poison come from?

In fact, true masters of poison are not as numerous as she feared.

Last time, the perpetrator had indeed hidden themselves very well; after such a long investigation, they still couldn’t uncover who it was.

He had good reason to believe that it was the doing of an “insider,” someone very familiar with them.

Of course, the so-called insider was just someone everyone knew.

As to who it was, because Mu Xiaojiu deliberately suppressed the matter, Ye Hua didn’t continue to delve into it.

Some “insiders” couldn’t be investigated deeply for the time being, as it might startle the snake.

But having been through it once, the person would at least know to hold back and not dare to act rashly.

Once they slipped up, it wouldn’t be easy for them either.

“I just…” Mu Xiaojiu took a glance at Baili Xia and then at the bowl of something in front of him, his current disdain fleeting.

“Don’t know what this is.”

Baili Xia stared at him with a bit of disbelief, not able to clearly see the eyes behind those sunglasses.

Certainly, Uncle never joked.

If he said he didn’t know, then he definitely didn’t.

“Hot and sour rice noodles, have you never eaten them?” Even though he came from a wealthy family, even though he has been eating delicacies from the mountains and the seas for every meal, even though hot and sour noodles have indeed never been served at the Mu Mansion’s dining table…

But, really didn’t recognize it?

Are there not small advertisements for it everywhere outside?

Okay, he never goes to small shops, maybe he really never had the chance to see these advertisements…

Baili Xia rubbed her forehead, feeling utterly defeated by their kind of wealthy people.

The world of the wealthy, ah…

“Oh right, you don’t eat spicy, I’ll go change it to something else for you…”

She wanted to stand up, but when she glanced again at the hot and sour rice noodles in front of Mu Xiaojiu, she didn’t know why a surge of nausea suddenly rose in her stomach.

Baili Xia’s eyebrows furrowed, and her complexion turned pale at once.

Her small hand pressed forcefully against her chest, as if she was afraid she would retch right there.

“What’s wrong?” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t have time to care about the issue of whether or not the food was spicy.

Seeing her scrunched-up face, he immediately stood up, intending to go help her.

Baili Xia waved her hand to signal him not to come over, trying hard to suppress the urge to vomit.

It had been okay at noon, why did it suddenly…

“You’re feeling unwell, I’ll take you to see a doctor,” Mu Xiaojiu didn’t give her any chance to refuse, picking her up to leave.

“…No, I’m fine.” Strangely enough, as soon as he picked her up, the urge to vomit disappeared.

It came inexplicably and left oddly, which made her feel even more uneasy.

“No, we need to go to the hospital to have it checked out.” Her face had looked so bad just now, it can’t be fine just because she said so.

“Really, it’s nothing.

Just now…

just now I was just thinking that you’re so disobedient, not even able to have a meal properly, it’s heart-breaking.”

“…Disobedient?” He was sure she was talking about him?

Why did it feel like he suddenly turned into a little kid?

And getting heartbroken over his disobedience?

Mu Xiaojiu was stunned and then stunned again, unsure if the girl was deliberately teasing him.

Her poor complexion earlier was real, and her expression completely clearing up was also real, but it couldn’t really be just because he was disobedient, could it?

“I’m really fine,” Baili Xia gently pushed him away.

Since she had already lied to this point, she had to continue: “Just eat your meal properly, stop being so picky, and I’ll feel better too.”
