Chapter 955: Let Her Go

Baili Xia struggled slightly, the two of them were standing too close, too intimately.

Even though she knew there was nothing between them, in the eyes of others, they would surely misinterpret it.

“Don’t move anymore, I’ve told you that you can’t catch a cold at this time, you can’t even take medicine.”

His gentle voice still fell warmly and softly above her head.

Finally, she compromised, even if not for herself, she had to think about the baby in her womb.

Even if the child wouldn’t be hers in the end, at least while he was still in her womb, she wanted to fulfill her motherly duties and protect him.

So, she did not refuse, and even leaned a bit closer into his arms.

The sea breeze was really chilly, if it continued, she would really start shivering again.

“Recently, there’s cold air, remember to bring a light jacket when you go out these days,” Dongfang Jin advised.

“Mm,” she nodded lightly, without saying much more.

The two continued walking toward where the car was parked on the shore, not knowing how long they walked when Dongfang Jin thought of something and wanted to remind her again.

Suddenly, a slight disturbance made him swallow back the words he was about to speak.

His large palm tightened around her arm, and looking up, he indeed saw that tall figure rapidly approaching them.

He brought with him an utterly cold aura, so cold that it seemed to instantly freeze the surrounding air, and in a blink, he was already in front of them.

Baili Xia was startled by the chilling coldness, and looking up under the moonlight, she saw that desolate and firm face.

Those eyes, prettier than the stars, shimmered with a glossy darkness, under which lay a raging fury.

Her palm tightened involuntarily, she drew a sharp breath, and her lips slightly moved as she instinctively murmured, “…Uncle.”

Mu Xiaojiu stared intently at the two huddled together, his eyes falling on the large palm that held her arm.

The next second, before he even realized it himself, his long legs had already brought him to their side.

An unprepared punch swiftly headed toward Dongfang Jin’s face.

Dongfang Jin did not immediately see him strike, his mind was on Baili Xia.

By the time he realized the intent to hit, it was already a moment too late to evade.

But hugging Baili Xia, he feared that pushing her away might affect her.

Thus, with no way to avoid it, he quickly turned his head sideways, not letting Baili Xia see the pain on his face.

With a loud bang, his tall frame wobbled but the large palm holding Baili Xia never loosened.

The force of the punch was neither light nor heavy, but it was clearly considerate, afraid of affecting her.

However, the power of Uncle’s punch was really strong, causing him to involuntarily step backward.

Eventually, unable to steady Baili Xia, he had to let go.

The next second, Baili Xia was already pulled into Mu Xiaojiu’s embrace.

His long arms extended, locking her tightly in his embrace, hugging forcefully.

He hugged so tightly that it made it difficult for her to breathe.

Her hand fell on his chest, and she pushed hard, her brow furrowing, fearing his rough actions might hurt her baby.

“Uncle, let me go!” she cried softly.

Mu Xiaojiu, due to her rejecting gesture, not only did not let go but even hugged her tighter.

“Don’t touch her,” Dongfang Jin steadied himself and immediately rushed over.

His hand raised, aimed at Mu Xiaojiu’s face, but the punch hesitated and did not come down.
