Chapter 712 - Treated Gently for the First Time (2/2)

He had gently checked her pulse and told her she would be fine and would recover soon.

When he drew her blood, he comforted her patiently. “It’ll only hurt a little. I’ll try to be gentle.”

Mo Qian’er had never been treated gently before. Mr. Xiao was like a ray of morning light which illuminated her dark life.

But she knew that the light would never belong to her, and he was only treating her with a doctor’s care.

She put her thoughts away.

When she met him once more in Prince Zi’s residence, she restrained herself well. She knew that she didn’t have warmth, but she also knew that she wasn’t qualified for any man to be nice to her.

“I didn’t expect to see you again so soon.” Mr. Xiao put down the medical box and looked at her b.u.mp. “You’re growing fast.”

Mo Qian’er smiled. “That’s right. I didn’t expect to return.”

She got up and poured Mr. Xiao a cup of tea. “Did Princess Zi ask you to come?”

Mr. Xiao nodded. “Yes. Have you been eating well recently?”

Mo Qian’er touched her wrist. It seemed to have gotten meatier again. She smiled in embarra.s.sment. “Did I get a lot fatter?”

“You were too skinny in the past. It’s better for you to have more meat on your bones now. Women are healthier when they’re plump,” Mr. Xiao said with a smile. “Look at Princess Zi. See how well she’s doing when she’s so plump.”

Mo Qian’er smiled. “That’s right. Princess Zi is very lucky. She’s very strong and Prince Zi is very nice to her.”

Mr. Xiao, however, said, “Don’t be fooled by how happy she is. She suffered a lot in the past. Her situation wasn’t much better than yours.”
