Baili Xia had spent the night in the hospital.
When she woke up the next day, she felt much more refreshed.
Sir Mu, after all, was no longer young, over seventy.
He had stayed overnight with her before returning to the hotel to rest with the protection of his bodyguards.
As he left, he continued advising the undecided Baili Xia, urging her to come home with him.
In reality, Baili Xia was not at all inclined, considering she didn’t know much about him at all.
However, the old man was truly kind to her.
He spent the whole night recounting the heroic deeds of her grandfather, with whom he fought alongside, never seeming to tire of the tales.
Even Baili Xia couldn’t help but smile when his stories were particularly joyful.
Eventually, Baili Xia fell asleep from exhaustion, and he sat by her bedside, watching her endlessly.
Whenever Baili Xia woke, she could see the pity in his eyes as he watched her.
Despite her urging him to rest, he steadfastly refused to leave.
She knew that this kindly old man truly had her best interests at heart and felt guilty about her.
However, she never thought that she had ever been hard done by.
More to the point, she also had a mother to take care of; she couldn’t just go back with him to the so-called Mu family.
Mu…
She suddenly remembered Mu Xiaojiu, that terrifying man.
They both had the surname Mu, but there are so many people in the world with that surname.
It was surely a coincidence? Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
Especially as this gentle old man could not possibly be related to the cruel and terrifying Mu Xiaojiu.
She must be having a persecution complex, her many misfortunes were getting to her.
Because she had gone to sleep so late the previous night, when she woke up today, it was already nearly noon.
Sir Mu had left, but Ye Hua was left behind to take care of her.
At noon, Ye Hua brought food for her, and then, at her request, left the room, allowing her to rest.
Baili Xia’s body was no longer in discomfort.
Only between her legs, there was a nagging, tearing pain.
At this moment, she didn’t feel like talking too much with others, even to Ye Hua who had saved her life.
She…
was somewhat repelling everyone around her, inexplicably scared.
After reading some magazines on the bed, she started to feel sleepy.
Just as she was about to put down the magazine and sleep for a while, there were rushed footsteps outside the door.
From the sound of the footsteps, the person seemed angry.
Before Baili Xia could react, the footsteps had already come to a halt at the door.
That voice, straight from hell, was sent in abruptly: “Stay in bed.”
This was clearly directed at her.
Mr.
Xiaojiu!
That terrifying man was here!
And Mu Xiaojiu, hearing the noise, immediately strode forward.
With a bang, the solid door was kicked open by him and tilted to one side, completely damaged.
Even in kicking the door, he acted with restraint, first making sure where Baili Xia was to prevent accidentally hurting her in his anger.
Ye Hua, who had followed him, closed his lips and remained silent, finally relaxing.
Although Mr.
Xiaojiu was angry, he refrained from hurting the girl, which was enough.
When did their Mr.
Xiaojiu become so gentle?
With his temper, it’s impressive that he restrained himself and didn’t immediately kick down the door.
Seeing Ye Hua rushing from a nearby room, he took a step forward to block him.
“Brother…” Ye Hua looked at him, totally at a loss.
The earlier voice…
clearly it was Mr.
Xiaojiu’s.
Did Mr.
Xiaojiu know Baili Xia?
