Chapter 92: My People Play However You Want 19_1

One bath had drained them both.

It wasn’t just Baili Xia, Mu Xiaojiu felt the same way.

The scene in the bathroom was genuinely far too tempting, yet tonight, it seemed like he wanted to lead by example and be a gentleman.

So, he withheld, struggled in agony, broke out into a cold sweat, and yet the cold shower proved to be of no help either.

He didn’t even know why he wanted to be this gentleman.

Having a woman in his arms, why shouldn’t he do what he wanted to?

He just remembered vividly that he had already exhausted her.

If he was to push her once more, it would ruin her.

After Baili Xia came out of the bathroom, she dried herself and climbed into bed at his command.

He asked her to close her eyes and go to sleep, which she obediently did.

However, the thought of him asking her to choose between his oldest and second oldest brother troubled her.

Uncle didn’t seem to care at all and turned around to enter the bathroom again.

He had already bathed once, why did he need to do it again?

She simply couldn’t make sense of what Uncle was thinking.

What she didn’t know was that Mu Xiaojiu took a cold shower just to keep a certain flame from consuming him.

Her mind was still entangled with Uncle’s words about her choosing between his oldest and second oldest brothers…

Bastard!

He deflowered her and still planned to hand her over to another man.

How outrageous!

She thought she wasn’t going to sleep well because of Uncle’s words but decided to lie down anyway.

To her surprise, she fell asleep quickly.

When Mu Xiaojiu came out of the bathroom, she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Her breathing was even, and she seemed to be sleeping peacefully, however her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

As if she was troubled by something even in her dreams.

He could sense her discomfort, resentment, a belly full of grievances even while bathing.

But there were some things he couldn’t bring himself to say.

From his trouser pocket, he retrieved a bottle of medicine that he had prepared beforehand.

He sat down on the bed, gently pulled back the quilt covering her.

Then carefully undid her nightgown, parting her slim legs…

It turned out…

he had indeed hurt her, no wonder she always looked at him like he was a venomous snake or a ferocious beast.

He didn’t know how much a bottle of medicine would help, but the process of applying it…

Well, he thought he might need another cold shower afterward.

…

The night passed swiftly.

By the time Baili Xia woke up, Uncle’s figure was no longer in the room.

She wasn’t sure if it was a dream or her imagination, but she felt like someone had been silently watching her all night.

Only Uncle was there last night, how could he stay up all night just to watch her?

She wasn’t some exotic treasure.

She didn’t even have a place in his heart.

Uncle couldn’t possibly have been watching her all night.

Maybe staring at her body…

Her face reddened at the thought.

She quickly checked her clothes before getting up.

Thankfully, her clothes were still on her body, and the discomfort between her legs was gone.

She felt significantly better when she woke up, the pain had lessened by more than half?

She marvelled at how wonderfully healing sleep could be.

With her body feeling better, her mood improved as well.

Baili Xia got up from the bed and made her way towards the bathroom…

As she was coming downstairs, her grandfather was waiting in the wing room.

The others had already gone to work.

Seeing her, the old man chuckled, “Xiaxia, aren’t you attending a banquet tonight?

I asked Lingchuan to prepare a dress for you.

He will accompany you tonight.”
