Mo Qian’er didn’t expect him to say that. She looked at him curiously, wondering why he said that.
Mr. Xiao continued, “Don’t be disheartened. You’ll be like her in the future.”
Mo Qian’er smiled and lowered her eyes, but she was very happy. Was Mr. Xiao using Princess Zi to comfort her?
Mr. Xiao knew that she was embarrassed. She was timid and shy. He hurriedly said, “Give me your hand. I’ll examine you.”
Mo Qian’er raised her arm and pulled her sleeve up to reveal a wrist that was fairer than white jade. She bashfully and timidly offered her arm.
Mr. Xiao’s fingertips were slightly warm, and Mo Qian’er’s heart thumped.
Mr. Xiao’s fingers were long and slender, and even more beautiful than a lady’s. Mo Qian’er looked at where his fingers touched her wrist, and her heart beat faster and faster.
She somehow had the feeling that Lu Fenying’s face wouldn’t be good if he saw this.
When Mr. Xiao came to treat her back then, Lu Fenying’s expression had been ugly the whole time.
He had tortured her several times in the middle of the night to vent his anger, and for a time switched to horrible food for her to eat, which made her feel like throwing up and caused her to embarrass herself in front of Mr. Xiao twice.
At that thought, Mo Qian’er’s heart began to beat with fear.
She was about to draw back her wrist, when Mr. Xiao frowned and pressed down on it. He looked at her. “Is your Dragon Spirit Blood gone?”
Mo Qian’er was surprised. How did he know that her Dragon Spirit Blood was gone?
She had wanted to hide it from him, but it seemed that she couldn’t.
“Yes… That’s why I can’t help you save that woman.”
Mo Qian’er knew that he was staying in Prince Zi’s house to save Yan Anchun. Her Dragon Spirit Blood had also kept Yan Anchun alive for a while.
“Why is it gone? Do you know that your baby will be in great danger without Dragon Spirit Blood? His condition isn’t good right now, and he’s stopped growing,” Mr. Xiao said solemnly.
He didn’t expect her to lose her Dragon Spirit Blood.
Mr. Xiao was a little angry. Didn’t this woman know how important Dragon Spirit Blood was for her?
Mo Qian’er’s expression changed drastically. She suddenly stood up. “What… What did you say? What’s wrong with the baby? What do you mean by it’s stopped growing?”
She never thought that the baby would be affected this much by the blood swap. Looking at Mr. Xiao’s grim expression, she knew that the situation definitely wasn’t good.
She didn’t expect the baby to be harmed because of her blood swap.
The baby that she wanted to keep.
The more Mo Qian’er thought about it, the more scared she became. She clenched her fists and stepped back, giving Mr. Xiao a weak look.
Mr. Xiao sighed and said, “It isn’t easy for the baby. He was weak to begin with, and was only able to survive because of Dragon Spirit Blood. Without it, he won’t be able to live.”
Mo Qian’er trembled and collapsed.
The baby was gone. Why was she still alive?
Mr. Xiao’s face changed slightly, and he quickly gathered her tenderly in his arms. “Qian’er?”
Mo Qian’er slowly opened her eyes and clutched the front of his robe tightly. “Mr. Xiao, please save him. I can’t be without him. You must help me save him.”
This was her baby. No matter how much its father disliked it, it was still her life.
The baby was the value of her existence, the fruit that she bore after serving Lu Fenying for so long. She couldn’t lose it.
