Chapter 1424: This Look Is Very Dangerous

Lin Ze had already more or less figured out the old gentleman's temper and characteristics, so he quickly lowered his posture, not daring to try and throw money at anyone again.

Old Zhou also stood up and asked, "There's nothing else now, right?"

"Nothing at all, nothing at all. Then, please take your time!"

Old Zhou walked slowly into the subway station with his hands behind his back.

Lin Ze let out a long breath.

He thought to himself that he had finally completed an important task.

He could finally report back to his boss!

After this moment of reflection, Lin Ze walked away with a light step.

Yet he did not know that everything that had just happened... had been seen by someone.

Li Beijue was considerate of how hard Jiang Baobao worked taking care of the children.

So he specifically set aside a day to watch a movie and eat a big meal with his wife.

At this moment, Jiang Baobao was standing in front of a row of trees behind a bench, her face as dark as water.

She stood quietly for a while longer before Li Beijue finally arrived.

Li Beijue had originally wanted to park the car in the parking lot at the entrance of the cinema.

But it was already full, so Li Beijue had to park the car a little further away.

Jiang Baobao was wearing high heels today, and Li Beijue couldn't bear for her to walk too far, so he had her wait for him by the side of the road.

However...

Li Beijue patted Jiang Baobao on the shoulder and asked, "Wife, why is your expression so serious? Are you angry?"

But just this one action gave Jiang Baobao a start.

Seeing Jiang Baobao's eyes widen like a startled little deer, Li Beijue ruffled her hair.

Then he asked softly, "What's wrong? Did I scare you?"

"Not really, I was just lost in thought."

Li Beijue put his arm around Jiang Baobao's shoulder again, his tone gentle: "Then can you tell me what you're thinking about?"

Jiang Baobao bit her lip lightly.

Then she looked in the direction Lin Ze had left in and told Li Beijue what she had just heard.

Li Beijue was quite calm and even laughed: "These little tricks are all things I played with back in the day."

As soon as his voice fell, he felt his stomach get poked by an elbow.

The person who bumped him also issued a complaint: "Don't joke around!"

Fine, no joking then.

But why was his wife so serious?

Li Beijue looked at Jiang Baobao's overly tense face and asked about the confusion in his heart.

After hearing this, Jiang Baobao countered: "Shouldn't I be serious? That Qin Yiyan is faking an illness to deceive Xin'ai!"

She felt that this kind of thing was extremely vile.

It was simply deceiving someone else's trust!

As Liu Xin'ai's good friend, Jiang Baobao was still wondering... should she tell Liu Xin'ai about this?

Jiang Baobao's eyes darted back and forth, hesitant.

Li Beijue naturally knew what his wife was thinking.

He pulled this woman who loved to worry into his arms and rubbed against the top of her head,

Then he said: "Liu Xin'ai is a doctor; as long as you give her a little hint, she will discover it herself. As for whether Liu Xin'ai plays along or exposes the truth, let her decide for herself."

From Jiang Baobao's point of view, there was no choice in this matter; Liu Xin'ai would inevitably be burning with rage.

But hearing Li Beijue say this...

She asked tentatively: "You mean, Xin'ai might not even be angry?"

"Imagine, if the person suffering from a serious illness were me, and you found out my illness was a lie and that I was actually perfectly fine, would your first reaction be happiness, or anger that I lied to you?"

"Of course it would be happiness!" Jiang Baobao gave the answer without even thinking.

Then, a look of sudden realization gradually appeared on her face.

She then murmured: "If you truly hold someone in your heart, you will overlook the anger of being deceived. If Xin'ai manages that, it proves... she has Qin Yiyan in her heart!"

Li Beijue agreed with these words and nodded.

But Jiang Baobao suddenly became filled with righteous indignation.

She frowned and said: "Then this is too unfair to Xin'ai! What about all the fear and anxiety she's been through during this time!?"

"But she isn't the only one who has been worried; Qin Yiyan hasn't had it easy either. Not only does he have to drink Chinese medicine, but he also has to undergo Acupuncture."

Sigh, just thinking about it is miserable.

But Jiang Baobao felt that he deserved it!

He brought it on himself!!

However...

Jiang Baobao still decided to make contact with Liu Xin'ai first to probe her thoughts before revealing the truth to her bit by bit.

Seeing Jiang Baobao fall into deep thought again, Li Beijue was unhappy.

He didn't want his wife to always be thinking about other people and other things.

So he kissed Jiang Baobao on the forehead.

Then he said domineeringly: "Alright, alright, we finally managed to clear some time, we should properly enjoy our time as a couple!"

"But..."

"No 'buts', your time right now and your entire person belong to me! You are not allowed to think of anyone else!"

Li Beijue was very overbearing.

He stared at Jiang Baobao's red lips, thinking that if this woman could not do it, then he would...

Li Beijue's gaze gradually became dangerous.

And this danger felt familiar to Jiang Baobao!

Now, Jiang Baobao did not dare to let her mind wander again.

She grabbed Li Beijue's hand and said, "The movie is about to start, let's go, let's go, don't waste any more time!"

Jiang Baobao dragged Li Beijue away.

And Li Beijue, looking at his palm held by her soft hand, felt satisfied.

At the same time, on the other side, Liu Xin'ai was still flipping through books about Acupuncture.

She had already set a time with Elder Zhou.

But in order to be confident, she was still cramming relevant knowledge.

It was just that...

Merely reading books could not intuitively convey the power of Acupuncture.

Liu Xin'ai hoped to try it out by performing it herself.

As for who to practice on...

Liu Xin'ai had no choice but to take out the silver needles used for Acupuncture and prick them into her own skin.

When Liu Xin'ai reached the third needle, Liu Qingze pushed the door open in a rush.

And the scene in the room left Liu Qingze stunned!

Stunned for three seconds, Liu Qingze shouted out, "Sister, what are you doing? What is making you so upset that you have to hurt yourself!"

As he spoke, Liu Qingze had already rushed in front of Liu Xin'ai and snatched away all her silver needles.

Liu Qingze did not want to be overly sensitive either.

It was just that past unpleasant experiences had left him with a shadow.

Seeing even a hint of danger, he could not help but be terrified.

Liu Xin'ai reacted for a moment before she understood why Liu Qingze was panicking.

She sighed lightly, then reminded him somewhat helplessly: "You misunderstood, I am just practicing Acupuncture."

Acupuncture?

Liu Qingze looked at the silver needles carefully; it seemed... indeed, these were what would be used for Acupuncture.

But Liu Qingze still did not understand.

He asked in disbelief: "You are... practicing on yourself?"

"Yes," Liu Xin'ai thought of something and added, "Or, you can let me practice on you."

This suggestion was terrifying!

Liu Qingze shuddered and quickly shook his head vigorously.

He did not want his sister to continue testing the needles on herself, so he advised: "Practicing this requires a step-by-step approach; at the very least, you should start with a model."
