Chapter 945: Things Can't Be Delayed Any Longer

The enforcers in the casino, after losing Guisu, were like eagles deprived of their wings.

They didn’t even need Mu Xiaoyao to lift a finger, for Da Hei had already led a group of brothers to subdue them quickly and thoroughly.

Someone called the police, and all the cheating gadgets inside the casino were seized on the spot.

Normally, the locals turned a blind eye to such casinos,

as long as they weren’t too excessive, they generally couldn’t be bothered, considering the complex network of relationships involved.

But now that Mr.

Mu Xiaoyao had pointed out their crooked operations and cheating ways in public, naturally, they had to take action.

If they didn’t, they couldn’t silence the gossip.

Of course, Baili Xia knew very well that her Brother was not really so idle as to want to eliminate this harm for the public.

Such a lazy person like him didn’t have that strong a sense of justice.

It was simply because Da Hei mentioned that the casino was connected to the people involved last time, plus she and Guisu had pissed him off, so he was looking for an outlet to vent.

After the exertion, it was only midday.

Da Hei and a group of brothers stayed at the scene to deal with some matters, while Mu Xiaoyao hurried Baili Xia into the car and drove back to Imperial College.

Back at the apartment, he sprawled himself on the couch, stretching his long legs onto the coffee table.

With a side-glance from his phoenix eyes, he said in his cool voice, “Cook.”

“…” Cook?

What does that mean?

Why had she suddenly become his nanny for no reason?

But, looking at the time, it was indeed about there, even if he didn’t eat, she needed to.

Thus, Baili Xia didn’t say anything and turned to walk into the kitchen.

There were still ingredients she had left from her last visit in the refrigerator.

After stepping out to the supermarket downstairs to buy some fresh meat and vegetables, soon three dishes and a soup were served on the table.

This time, Mu Xiaoyao didn’t have her busy herself from start to finish alone, he helped with serving the rice when she brought out the dishes.

Their lunch was quiet and…

quite warm.

She served another bowl of soup for Mu Xiaoyao and said softly, “I can’t finish this, you should have more, otherwise, it’ll go to waste.”

Mu Xiaoyao didn’t say a word, took the soup bowl, and drank it all in one go, even pouring the leftovers into his bowl.

Whatever she left, he would finish, wasting was not good.

After lunch, Mu Xiaoyao offered to help, but Baili Xia was frightened.

Not wanting the dishes in the kitchen to be completely ruined in his hands, she preferred him to lie down on the couch and rest after eating rather than create chaos.

Although Mu Xiaoyao was pushed out of the kitchen and not allowed to help with the cleaning, he still leaned against the doorframe, watching her.

In fact, he didn’t know why he insisted on watching, or rather, why he wanted to watch at all.

It just felt like, seeing her busy in the kitchen like that, his mood inexplicably lightened up.

He could even ignore the fact that she had been communicating with Guisu privately.

However, Baili Xia’s mind was constantly occupied with other matters, wondering how to get rid of her Brother later to go out alone.

It had been over a week, and the dry heaving wasn’t happening all the time, sometimes it even seemed to have reduced these last couple of days.

But the chest tightness, shortness of breath, all these symptoms she found online, she had them all.

Brother had been with her all week, not even letting her go out to a hospital for a check-up.

Let alone going to the hospital, she couldn’t even find a chance to buy a pregnancy test.

Today was Saturday, the gynecology department of the big hospitals might not be open, but the small ones definitely would have staff on duty.

She had to go out alone, no matter what.

The matter had reached a point where it could no longer be delayed.
