Chapter 433: The Fiancé Comes Every Day

~8 min read 1,420 words

Evening—

Jiang Baobao sat alone before her desk, unable to help but stare blankly at the small pill on the table.

There was no chance to hand the pill to Xinaijie today; she would just have to go tomorrow...

It's just that she didn't know how the results of this analysis would turn out...

Jiang Baobao thought helplessly, and couldn't help but think of Qin Yiyan, whom she had seen today, feeling a bit strange in her heart.

Why did she feel that...

There seemed to be something strange between Xinaijie and him?

If he had gone to the Hospital specifically to accompany Xinaijie at work today, then their relationship should be developing quite well...

But...

No matter how Jiang Baobao thought about it, she felt something was off. Just as she was pondering, suddenly—

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Beijue's voice suddenly sounded, and a glass of milk was placed by her hand.

Jiang Baobao snapped back to reality and asked subconsciously, "Why are you here?"

"Ahem..."

Li Beijue gave a light cough and explained, "I came to see Tiantian and the others, and just happened to see that your bedroom door wasn't closed..."

Jiang Baobao nodded, looking at the glass of milk, her mood suddenly becoming somewhat subtle.

This seemed a bit different from what she had originally thought...

How did it seem like there was no difference from when she was at Li Mansion? This guy still ran over to her place every day...

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she suddenly saw Li Beijue reach out and pick up the pill she had left on the table.

"Hey, you..."

Jiang Baobao subconsciously wanted to stop him.

But she saw Li Beijue suddenly frown and ask, "How do you have this kind of medicine?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao was stunned, and immediately asked in disbelief, "You recognize it?"

Li Beijue didn't speak, staring at the pill in his hand and examining it carefully for two seconds before nodding affirmatively.

"Yes, this is a drug that Li Corporation invested in a long time ago. There is a tiny indentation on it, which is a special mark, but because the drug experiment failed and it was actually harmful to the human body, the investment was withdrawn and production was stopped afterward. How did you get it?"

After hearing him finish, Jiang Baobao hurriedly asked again, "Then do you know what this medicine is used for?"

Li Beijue pondered for a moment before answering, "If I remember correctly, it was used to treat brain diseases."

Jiang Baobao's eyes widened instantly.

That's right!

This is it!

In this pill, there must be the medicinal ingredient that Xinaijie mentioned earlier, the one that caused Uncle to become the way he is now!

Thinking this, Jiang Baobao hurriedly reached out and snatched the pill back.

Seeing her strange expression, Li Beijue immediately asked with concern, "You still haven't said, where did this medicine come from?"

Jiang Baobao hurriedly made up an excuse to answer, "This medicine is... it was entrusted to me by a friend to help them hand it over to a Doctor they know for analysis."

After she finished speaking, not waiting for Li Beijue to reply, she deliberately pretended to be tired and yawned, "Although you recognize this pill, I still want to find someone to analyze it again. It's very late, you go back and rest, I'm going to rest too."

Jiang Baobao stood up and turned to walk toward the bed.

Li Beijue opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end, he swallowed his words, only saying gently, "Good night."

He turned and left, closing the bedroom door behind him.

His expression, however, suddenly became somewhat serious.

That kind of drug had never appeared on the market.

It wasn't something an ordinary person could obtain.

It was even less likely to have been preserved until now.

Baobao... what exactly is she hiding from him?

Li Beijue pondered for a moment, went straight back to his villa, and made a phone call to Assistant Chen.

"Chen Xi, a few years ago Li Corporation had a failed drug investment case. I want all the data on that project, as well as Jiang Baobao's recent movements, and who she has been in contact with, besides Cai Xiaotang, what other friends does she have?"

Assistant Chen agreed immediately, and not long after, called back.

"President Li, the project data is quite old, I'm afraid it can't be compiled tonight, but as for Miss Jiang... besides Miss Cai, she doesn't have any close friends she is in contact with, only occasionally contacting the young lady of the Liu Family, and she also returns to the Jiang Family more frequently."

"The Jiang Family and the Liu Family?"

Li Beijue was thoughtful upon hearing this.

Assistant Chen hurriedly answered, "Yes, Miss Jiang often goes back to see the old lady of the Jiang Family and her son. The eldest daughter of the Liu Family once dated Jiang Chenghao; perhaps because of this, Miss Jiang also has a good relationship with Miss Liu."

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and he didn't speak.

He naturally knew about the affairs of the Jiang Family.

After Jiang Chenghao's brain had problems, the Jiang Family was taken over by the Lu Family.

Such things were long since nothing strange in his eyes.

But now...

Could it be that Baobao wants to take back the Jiang Family?

And even... found the eldest daughter of the Liu Family to help?

He had thought she didn't care about these things anymore...

But that pill...

Li Beijue vaguely felt that the matter was not as simple as he had thought. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Get me the project data as fast as possible, and then go check what the Lu Family has done since they took over the Jiang Family's company."

"Yes, President Li." Assistant Chen responded quickly.

Li Beijue gave a few more orders before hanging up the phone, his gaze fixed on the pitch-black night, lost in thought.

If this was Baobao's wish, then he would certainly help her fulfill it.

Everything belonging to the Jiang Family.

Would all be hers.

The next day—

Jiang Baobao was preoccupied with the matter of the medicine.

She spent the whole morning quickly finishing her work, then gave Liu Xin'ai a call.

After confirming that Qin Yiyan was not there, Jiang Baobao finally planned to head over.

But she didn't expect that just as she reached the door of the clinic, she would see a familiar figure appearing on the other side of the hallway, walking in this direction.

Jiang Baobao's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, her expression suddenly turning somewhat helpless.

Why is it Qin Yiyan again!

Is he Xinaijie's little follower?

Could it be that he has to come and watch her work every single day?

Jiang Baobao subconsciously gripped the bag in her hand tightly; despite complaining in her heart, she quickly forced a smile onto her face.

"Mr. Qin, what a coincidence, are you here to see Xinaijie again? Your relationship is truly wonderful..."

Jiang Baobao deliberately put on a silly and guileless appearance.

Qin Yiyan curled his lips, looked her up and down, and asked with a smile: "Miss Jiang and Xin'ai's relationship also seems very good. Today... could it be that you are here to deliver perfume again?"

The smile at the corners of Jiang Baobao's mouth stiffened for a moment, confirming her thoughts from yesterday even more.

She didn't know how the relationship between this Qin Yiyan and Xinaijie really was.

But he was definitely not someone to be trifled with!

Jiang Baobao's eyes flickered for a moment; knowing that turning around and leaving now would seem too deliberate, she simply answered generously: "I have some things I'd like to chat with Xinaijie about today."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door to the clinic directly.

Liu Xin'ai had already heard someone talking at the door but hadn't heard clearly; seeing that it was Jiang Baobao standing at the entrance, her expression instantly brightened with joy.

Before she could even speak, she heard her say with a smile: "Xinaijie, your fiancé has come to see you again."

Liu Xin'ai's expression stiffened, and she was instantly stunned on the spot, a breath of air suddenly trapped in her chest.

Qin Yiyan is here again?

Doesn't he have any of his own business to attend to!
