Chapter 943: Would Rather Have No Shame

Lately, Mu Xiaoyao had been around Baili Xia every day, always accompanying her, rushing her to go practice driving as soon as he caught her.

She really had no extra energy to think about anything else.

The last time they parted, Guisu had said he would look for her, and unexpectedly, he had indeed come.

Her gaze also landed on his right hand, but Guisu was always staring at Mu Xiaoyao, not looking at her.

Suddenly, Mu Xiaoyao yanked her over, clasping her in his arms, his cold eyes scrutinizing every expression on Guisu’s face.

“She’s my woman, why would I trouble her? Moreover, whether or not I trouble her, what business is it of yours?”

He had never expected this girl and Guisu to have such a relationship in private.

Now, it seemed Guisu didn’t harbor the slightest hostility towards her; in fact, he even seemed protective of her.

What on earth had happened between them in private?

Baili Xia, clasped in his arms, tried to struggle free, but he held her so tightly that she couldn’t break away.

Besides, with so many people here, she couldn’t afford to disgrace Brother.

To escape from his arms in front of his brothers, wouldn’t it be a slap in his face?

Besides, Brother was angry now, and she dared not do anything to infuriate him even further.

She just grabbed his sleeve, tugging lightly, a pleading look on her face, “Brother, I’m not feeling well, let’s go back.”

“Are you afraid I’ll cripple his other hand too?” Mu Xiaoyao didn’t even glance at her.

Guisu gripped his left palm more tightly, huffing coldly, and took a step forward.

“If there’s an issue, let’s solve it with fists.

If you want to lay a finger on this casino, you go through me first.”

“You think I don’t dare?” Mu Xiaoyao also moved forward.

But Baili Xia clung to his arm, an anxious look on her face, “Brother, stop!

His hand hasn’t healed yet.”

“You care about him?” He raised an eyebrow, his gaze as cold as a glacier that hadn’t melted in ten thousand years, his eyes entirely void of warmth.

Seeing those eyes, all at once, Baili Xia thought of a certain scene.

A forest where animals had gone extinct, where even animals could die off completely, illustrating just how terrifying and cold the forest was.

But today, no matter what, she couldn’t let Brother and Guisu come to blows; she was afraid Brother would truly ruin Guisu’s other hand.

She still hugged his arm tightly, turned her head to look at Guisu, and her eyes were also filled with a plea.

“I’ve helped you before, and you said you would repay me, so… now I’m asking you to leave this casino and not associate with these people, can you do that?”

Guisu didn’t speak, just watched her coldly, his thin lips forming a line of indifference.

Baili Xia knew he wasn’t pleased, but now that she couldn’t persuade Brother, she could only try with him.

“I’m begging you, leave this place, as repayment for that bowl of noodles I once treated you to.”

“That bowl of noodles sure comes with a heavy favor.” She keeps asking him to do this and that!

Was that bowl of noodles really worth so much to her?

“I’m sorry, I know I really shouldn’t.

But Guisu, you owe me, after all.”

“Leave this place, don’t hang around with them anymore, let this casino’s affairs be none of your business, please, just agree to this one request!”

Regardless of whether that bowl of noodles was truly valuable, now, Baili Xia could only shamelessly insist on its worth.

Faced with the choice between losing face and watching them fight, she’d rather lose face.

Now, she just hoped Guisu would remember the favor of those few bowls of noodles and leave quickly.

Once a fight started, it would only result in harm to both parties.
