Chapter 010: What is he doing here

If it were any other woman, Bao Yechen would definitely think that she was doing it on purpose, and he would ruthlessly kick her out.

But Xia Zhixing...

His dark eyes darkened a bit as he carefully observed her for a few seconds and noticed the undisguised panic on her face and in her eyes. It didn't seem like she was intentionally putting on an act.

Bao Yechen raised an eyebrow slightly. "You've dirtied my clothes. Take them to be washed for me."

Xia Zhixing stared at him blankly for a moment. So, was she supposed to go and get a clean shirt for him?

"I really didn't do it on purpose."

Bao Yechen didn't say anything, but his eyebrows were knitted together, clearly displeased with the dampness on his clothes.

Just as his fingers were about to reach the buttons, Xia Zhixing suddenly took a step back. "I'll go get a clean shirt for you!"

Bao Yechen lazily raised his eyebrows and beckoned her with a finger. "Come here."

Xia Zhixing wished her feet could be nailed down and didn't want to move at all!

But under the intense gaze of a certain man, she could only walk towards him, silently asking him: Is there something wrong?

Just as Bao Yechen was about to pull her into his arms, the door to the study suddenly burst open.

"Third Brother, I...," Mu Bai started to say but then got stuck. Oh my god, it seemed like he was interrupting something between Third Brother and his wife. Should he...?

He cleared his throat. "Did I interrupt you? I'll go wait outside. You can continue, don't mind me! Pretend I'm not here."

Mu Bai was speaking as he retreated towards the door, but he felt like he had been shot at by several holes by Third Brother.

He lamented in his heart: Clearly, Third Brother called him over, how was he supposed to know that his sister-in-law was also in Third Brother's study?

Xia Zhixing released Bao Yechen's hand with a bewildered expression. "I'll go get your clothes."

With that, she quickly turned around and left.

She walked so fast, as if there was a flood or a ferocious beast behind her.

She recognized the man who came in as Mu Bai, one of Bao Yechen's brothers and a world-renowned neurosurgeon who currently ran his own private hospital.

After the door closed, Mu Bai clearly felt the room's atmosphere drop by several degrees. He cleared his throat. "Third Brother, I really know I was wrong. I'll make sure to knock before coming in next time..."

Bao Yechen's expression was still very unpleasant, in Mu Bai's eyes, it was a typical case of unfulfilled desire. He then tried to please him by placing the bag he was carrying on the table. "In addition to the heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine and the mouth ulcer medicine you wanted, there's also a surprise I've carefully prepared for you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

The last sentence was filled with deep meaning.

"You can leave now," Bao Yechen said coldly.

"Understood! I'll take my leave now."

Given a reprieve, Mu Bai quickly turned and left, but at the door, he met Xia Zhixing returning with a clean shirt. He immediately greeted her with a smile. "Hello, Sister-in-law!"

Xia Zhixing: "..."

She remembered clearly that Mu Bai had also come to the Yiyuan Villa tonight in her previous life, but it was because she had scratched Bao Yechen's face.

But now...

Because of her awakening, the same thing as in her previous life didn't happen, so why was he here?

"Hello! Could you please take this in for me? Thank you!"

With that, Xia Zhixing didn't wait for Mu Bai to refuse and quickly handed him the shirt before running off.

Mu Bai: "..."

Oh my god, he had finally come out of the ice cave, and now he had to go back in with a time bomb?
