Chapter 1072 - Stop Being Nosy (1/2)

Junyuan’s hands that were hanging by his sides clenched into fists and the vein on his forehead protruded.

His face was tensed and his lips were pursed tightly.

Xia Mo cursed herself in her heart. He must be in so much pain!

But on second thought, it would be strange if he was not in pain after having hot water spilled on him!

Xia Mo looked at the man whose vein was protruding out from his forehead and she blinked her big eyes, saying cautiously, “Doctor, a-are you scalded badly? Why don’t you go to the bathroom and have a look…”

Xia Mo was reminding him out of good intentions. There was no hospital here and he could only treat himself. The G.o.d-like man who was gentle and patient to the little boy, suddenly turned gloomy and looked at her with a sharp and cold gaze. “It’s none of your business what happens to me. Stop being nosy!”

Xia Mo’s eyes widened and she looked in disbelief at the man who was suddenly angry at her.

Did he have split personality? If not, why did he seem like another person out of the blue?

Junyuan did not get angry at Xia Mo on purpose, but her words touched his self-esteem and pride. He had become useless and usually he tolerated everything and kept it to himself. Because he knew that Yanran was guilty about it and if he abandoned himself to despair, it would make her even more upset.

Xia Mo looked at his frightening gaze and felt a lump form in her throat, tears of grievance swimming around her eyes. She did not spill the water on him on purpose. She wanted to wipe it for him and was concerned if he was scalded. Was she wrong?

Why was he so fierce?

So what if his voice was louder than hers?

Xia Mo’s eyes were red and her long eyelashes fluttered but her tears did not fall. “Why are you so fierce? I helped you to wipe out of kindness and it became my fault?”

“Who asked you to wipe? Don’t you know where that is? Or did your parents not teach you the difference between a man and a woman?”

Xia Mo’s lips trembled and the tears in her eyes fell. Her face was pale and she glared at Junyuan with red eyes.

Although she had grown up in the Huo family, the people in Huo family were very good to her and had never been so fierce to her.

After Junyuan finished unleas.h.i.+ng his anger at Xia Mo, he saw the tears falling from her eyes and his body stiffened slightly. What was he doing? Getting angry at an innocent girl?

He was useless now, but what did it have to do with the girl?

Realizing his att.i.tude, Junyuan’s expression softened. “I’m sorry.”

Xia Mo was still holding her handkerchief and she wiped at her face with it. When Junyuan saw her action, he wanted to remind her that she had used that to wipe his pants, but before he could say anything, she threw the handkerchief at his face and said, gritting her teeth, “Who cares about your apology? Hmph!”

Turning around, she ran outside quickly.

Xia Mo ran out and saw Xiao Yi who was standing outside the courtyard smoking. She sniffed and after calming herself down, said, “Uncle Xiao, the doctor said that Xiaoxuan is fine. He gave him medicine, but since he can’t be exposed to the wind again tonight, it’s best that he rests here tonight.”

Xiao Yi flicked the cigarette ash. It was dark so he could not see her expression, but he could hear that her voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e like she had cried. “What happened?”

“Nothing.” Xia Mo sniffed. “Some dust flew into my eyes when I came out just now. Uncle Xiao, if there’s nothing else, I want to go back to the school first.”

Xiao Yi took in a breath of smoke and blew it out slowly. “You stay here to take care of Xiaoxuan, I’ll go back.”

Before Xia Mo could say anything, she saw a beam of light coming closer. Gradually, she could hear the voices of a man and woman.

“Are you cold?” the man asked.

“I’m alright.”

“The temperature is low in the mountains at night. I’ll make you a cup of ginger tea when we get back.”

“Thank you.”
