Chapter 642: Chapter 642: Administering Medicine (2)_1

After she had a good think and made her decision, then she would speak.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you," Xiao Muli said after hearing the latter part of Situ Xin’s words, his previously darkened face finally appeared a bit better.

Gao Yong watched the interaction between Situ Xin and Xiao Muli and wanted to interject, but he couldn’t find an opportunity. Fortunately, Situ Xin hadn’t forgotten him. After she finished speaking with Xiao Muli, she turned her head to look at him and said seriously, "There’s no need for you to know the cause of my illness this time. You just need to know that no one will catch the same illness as me in the future."

"Okay, I understand," Gao Yong said, seeing the serious look on Situ Xin’s face. He knew that what Situ Xin said was not to brush him off but the truth, so he didn’t dwell on it any longer. "I’ve looked at your conditions; you’re both recovering very well. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving first."

"Fine, just hurry up and go," Xiao Muli said, looking impatiently at Gao Yong. He rarely had the chance to be alone with Situ Xin, so he was eager for Gao Yong to leave quickly.

"Sure, you go and do your thing," Situ Xin also indicated that Gao Yong could leave.

Gao Yong saw Xiao Muli’s disdainful expression and felt like crying. He wanted to say to Xiao Muli, "You think I want to be here? You think I want to come and see you? It’s only because of your family’s Old Master Situ’s request. Otherwise, I would already be lying comfortably on my bed at home, soundly asleep."

After glaring at Xiao Muli, Gao Yong left their hospital room.

Once Gao Yong was gone, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli didn’t fuss about and both lay in their own hospital beds, soon entering dreamland.

Xiao Muli was still very frail, as his body hadn’t fully recovered. Plus, after such a tiring day, he was already exhausted. Now that the pain had subsided, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.

As for Situ Xin, it wasn’t that she was overly tired, but it was impossible for her not to feel fatigue. She had fought her Heart Demon and also advanced in strength. While her power had increased, she still felt a faint sense of weariness. Moreover, given that she was in the hospital and had Xiao Muli there, it wasn’t appropriate for her to enter her spatial domain to see what it looked like after her advancement. She also didn’t dare to test her current strength outside, fearing she might cause some anomalies due to her lack of control after just advancing, which would lead to chaos.

So, Situ Xin obediently lay down in her hospital bed and, not long after Xiao Muli had fallen asleep, she also entered her own dreamland.

What Situ Xin didn’t know was that Baibai, who had been waiting in the spatial domain for Situ Xin to come in and check out the upgraded space, was utterly frustrated.

"Bad master," Baibai grumbled unhappily, twitching his tiger nose after sensing that its master, Situ Xin, was asleep. "Hmph, if you ignore Baibai and go to sleep, then Baibai will go to sleep too."

Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, after leaving the hospital, saw Old Master Xiao’s beaming face and found his smile excessively irritating. "Old Xiao, your kid has grown some nerve, daring to set his sights on my Baby," Old Master Situ was the first to lose patience and fired away at Old Master Xiao.

"Situ, don’t get too worked up. Calm down a bit. If you think about it, my Muli is quite a good match for your Xiao Xin," Old Master Xiao’s smile widened at the thought of Situ Xin becoming a member of the Xiao Family.

"Hmph, what good match? They’re miles apart. Let me tell you, Old Xiao, make that kid of yours, Muli, quickly rein in those thoughts of his, or else," Old Master Loo couldn’t keep his cool when it came to his precious granddaughter Situ Xin.

However, before Old Master Loo could finish his threat, Old Madam Loo intervened, "Old man, you better hold your tongue." "And you, too," Old Madam Situ also chided Old Master Situ.

After their spouses told them off, the two Old Masters stopped talking, but they glared fiercely at Old Master Xiao. Old Master Xiao wasn’t bothered by their glares at all; in fact, his smile grew even brighter.

While the two Old Masters had been silenced, the youngest Loo Jie spoke up in his childlike voice, "Grandpa Xiao, Xiao Xin sister belongs to Baby, and Baby won’t let Brother Muli take her away."

"Old Xiao, hear that? Even my Loo Jie has said it; he won’t let your boy take away our treasure," Old Master Loo said, his smile instantly spreading across his face as he addressed Old Master Xiao.

But Old Master Xiao wasn’t influenced by Old Master Loo’s words at all, for he was confident in his heart.

That night, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli both slept soundly in the hospital room, unaware of anything else. Perhaps due to the additional presence, they slept even more deeply than usual. Even when Gao Yong came to check on them in the middle of the night on the orders of Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, moving softly and gently to open the door, neither Situ Xin nor Xiao Muli noticed a thing.

Had it been their usual alert selves, they would have been aware of Gao Yong’s approach to the hospital room door.

Meanwhile, at the Situ and Loo families, many were sleepless that night. Even if not sleepless, they went to bed later than usual.

In the Situ family, Old Madam Situ adjusted the quilt on her body and spoke to Old Master Situ, who was already in bed, engrossed in the book Situ Xin had brought from her spatial domain, "Hey, old man, let me tell you, don’t you start making trouble over Muli and our Baby. I think Muli is quite suitable for our Baby."

Upon hearing Old Madam Situ’s words, Old Master Situ put the book down, "What do you mean I’m making trouble? It’s not trouble; I’m just afraid that our Baby, being young, could be deceived by those with ulterior motives. Moreover, what’s so good about that Xiao kid? He’s always wearing a stern face. Who does he think he is impressing?"

At this point, Old Master Situ had completely forgotten that he once praised Xiao Muli for being mature and composed at a young age, even saying that Xiao Muli was cut out for the military. But now, all those previous comments that had come out of Old Master Situ’s mouth, the traits he once considered advantageous on Xiao Muli, had become flaws.
