Chapter 729: I Love a Beauty

“Silly girl, you have to control yourself from now on, even if it’s delicious. You’re pregnant now, so you have to be more careful.” Xiao Xiao put away the needle and touched her forehead. “You’ve been feeling uneasy recently. It’s not good for the baby. Don’t keep things in your heart; let it all out.”

After pricking her twice with the needle, the pain in Mo Qian’er’s stomach subsided.

She smiled weakly. “Thank you.”

“Didn’t you say that you would call for me tonight? Would you have if your stomach didn’t hurt?” Xiao Xiao could more or less make a guess.

“I don’t want to implicate you…” Mo Qian’er bit her lip.

“It’s fine. If you’re not afraid as a woman, why should I be? Just tell me what you want. I’ll help you.” Xiao Xiao wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief.

His eyes were gentle, and he was careful in everything he did.

Mo Qian’er clenched her fists. He was such a gentle and wonderful person. How could she get him involved?

“Mr. Xiao, you should go back. I… I’m fine now.” Mo Qian’er sat up, took his handkerchief, and wiped herself.

“You’re drenched in sweat. You can’t sleep like this in such cold weather. Get someone to prepare a hot bath immediately, or you’ll get sick.” Xiao Xiao ignored her.

“I… I will. You can go back first.” Mo Qian’er pushed at him.

“Don’t be anxious. I’ll leave soon. I’ll get someone to prepare hot water for you.” Xiao Xiao stood up, opened the door, and gave the maid instructions.

Mo Qian’er heard him tell the maid what herbs to put in the hot water. They all sounded expensive.

In the middle of the night, only Xiao Xiao’s voice was heard. He was usually a man of few words, but he was like an old mother as he gave the maids instructions.

He was so nice to her, but she wanted to use him.

Mo Qian’er despised herself.

Xiao Xiao returned after giving the instructions. “Lie down for a while. They’ll get things ready. Don’t get out of bed now. You’ll catch a cold.”

Mo Qian’er lay down obediently. “Mr. Xiao, you can go back first. I’m fine now. The maids will take care of me.”

Xiao Xiao sat by the bed and looked at her gently. “Are you afraid of ruining my reputation, or do you really hate me being here?”

Mo Qian’er shook her head. “No… I… I don’t. Why would I hate you? You’re so nice to me…”

“If you don’t hate me, then let me stay here. This is my own wish.” Xiao Xiao’s eyes turned deep.

Mo Qian’er, however, was worried that she really would implicate him, and didn’t notice the change.

“Mr. Xiao, please go back. If the crown prince finds out, it’ll be hard for you in the future. I don’t want to implicate you.”

Xiao Xiao smiled. “Isn’t the whole point for him to know? Even if you didn’t drag me in, I would do it myself. Haven’t you ever wondered why I’m willing to help you?”

Mo Qian’er’s eyes widened. “You…”

The corner of Xiao Xiao’s lips twitched. “Miss Qian’er, you probably don’t know how good you are. I don’t want to be coarse; I’m unwilling to part with a beauty.”

Mo Qian’er swallowed. She didn’t know what he meant, but she sensed that Xiao Xiao wasn’t treating her purely as a doctor.

That was right. Why hadn’t she thought of why Xiao Xiao would agree to do such a thing?
