Chapter 998

Mu Xiaoyao pursed his lips tightly, met Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze, but couldn’t say a word.

He was not good at lying, and the moment he did, Uncle would discern the truth immediately.

Yet, he had promised this girl not to mention this matter in front of Uncle, to let her speak for herself.

Although he now knew that this girl hadn’t intended to be the first to tell Uncle to surprise him.

She had never planned to tell Uncle about it at all.

What exactly was she up to?

Mu Xiaoyao’s personality could sometimes be as stubborn as an ox, and sometimes, even Mu Xiaojiu couldn’t easily sway him.

Seeing him like this, could Mu Xiaojiu not understand?

Xiaoyao had promised the little creature not to speak!

His lips turned into a thin, icy line.

This time he didn’t speak, he placed Baili Xia on the bed, and his large hand on her shoulder easily subdued all her struggles.

His eyes were fixed on her face, but his words were directed at Nangong Xu.

“Examine her, from head to toe, and do it thoroughly. I want to see what exactly she’s hiding from me.”

Nangong Xu looked at him, then at Baili Xia, not really wanting to distress the girl.

But in the current situation, he had no choice but to obey.

Turning around, he started to move his medical equipment over.

But upon seeing the equipment, Baili Xia screamed uncontrollably, “I don’t want an examination, let me go, Mu Xiaojiu, let me go!”

She dared to address Uncle by his full name!

Not only was Mu Xiaoyao startled, but even Nangong Xu felt somewhat incredulous.

What on earth was going on with this girl?

It’s just an examination, could it really cost her life?

Would she dare to address Mr.

Xiaojiu like this under normal circumstances?

Mu Xiaojiu looked down at the girl confined under his palm, his black pupils icy and impenetrable, nearly freezing everything around him.

“If you do not tell the truth, I will strip you naked and have Nangong Xu examine you completely.”

“Let me go, let go, I don’t want an examination, I said I don’t want it!”

She was still struggling, not taking his words seriously at all.

Mu Xiaojiu’s chest heaved violently; nobody had ever dared to disregard him like this.

His hand moved to the collar of her clothes and with a light tug, two buttons were torn off and clattered to the floor, their whereabouts soon unknown.

Nangong Xu turned his face away, daring not look at the scene unfolding on the hospital bed.

Although he knew that Mr.

Xiaojiu was only trying to scare the girl, looking away at least showed his stance to Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Mr.

Xiaojiu’s woman wasn’t for everyone to see.

Even though she had lost two buttons, she hadn’t revealed much that shouldn’t be seen.

But Baili Xia was thoroughly frightened by Mu Xiaojiu’s actions, her heart soured, and tears immediately slid down.

He not only refused to acknowledge the child in her womb but even intended to strip her naked in front of another man.

How could this man be so heartless, why could he be so cruel?

“Will you talk or not?” the man demanded, his face stern, his voice as cold as ice, devoid of any warmth.

Baili Xia bit her lip forcefully, seeing the threatening aura in his eyes, her heart had completely sunk to the bottom of the lake.

Meeting his icy gaze, her own eyes gradually grew cold.

“What if I say, there’s your child in my stomach, would you believe me?”

There’s his child in her stomach, would he believe her?

Could he trust her?
