Chapter 434: Wanting to be Taken Advantage of by You

~7 min read 1,399 words

Liu Xin'ai looked toward the doorway, speechless, and then, as expected, saw the figure of Qin Yiyan appear.

Jiang Baobao had not expected to run into him again either, and seeing that Liu Xin'ai's expression was somewhat strange, she hurriedly thought of a quick solution: "Mr. Qin, could I have a private chat with Xinaijie? I have some matters I'd like to discuss with her..."

Qin Yiyan paused slightly and asked with a deliberate smile: "Is Miss Jiang encountering some difficulty? If you don't mind, I could help out when the time comes; after all, Xin'ai's friends are my friends."

Listening to the two of them talk, Liu Xin'ai couldn't help but feel increasingly irritable.

What is he pretending to be a qualified fiancé for?

He is clearly just idle and has nothing better to do than to come and monitor her!

Just as Liu Xin'ai was about to refuse on Jiang Baobao's behalf, she immediately heard Jiang Baobao take the initiative to say: "I'm sorry, I came to see Xinaijie today to talk about my own relationship problems, so..."

Jiang Baobao did not finish her sentence and looked at Qin Yiyan with some embarrassment.

She didn't believe that now that things had been put this way, Qin Yiyan would still insist on lingering here to eavesdrop!

Sure enough, this time Qin Yiyan did not force himself to stay, but instead smiled and conceded: "It was my intrusion. Then you two talk first; Xin'ai, I will come to pick you up later."

Qin Yiyan took a step back, turned, and left, actually walking away just like that.

Watching his back as he walked away, Jiang Baobao hurriedly closed the door and looked at Liu Xin'ai in confusion, asking: "Xinaijie, does your fiancé come here to accompany you every day?"

"He..." Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain it for a moment, so she just answered casually: "Who knows when he has time every day? Did you bring the medicine?"

"I brought it!" Jiang Baobao's expression turned serious in an instant, and she hurriedly pulled a tightly wrapped handkerchief out of her bag.

"Xinaijie, look, is the pill you mentioned last time this kind? I accidentally found out that Li Corporation was actually one of the investors in this medicine at the time, and the efficacy of what was developed back then is about the same as the one you have..."

"Then there shouldn't be any mistake!"

Liu Xin'ai's eyes lit up suddenly; she immediately reached out to take the pill and carefully examined it in her hand for a long time.

"Xinaijie, about when will the test results be out?"

Jiang Baobao asked impatiently.

Liu Xin'ai pondered for a moment, though her expression was not very certain: "At the fastest, it will take a day or two. To be safe, I cannot test it directly in the Hospital, so I have to trouble a friend I trust."

"Okay, then I will wait for your news."

Jiang Baobao also knew that this matter could not be rushed, so she felt slightly more at ease. The two chatted for a few more sentences before she left.

Jiang Baobao came out of the Hospital, intending to go to the roadside to hail a taxi back to the Base.

For the sake of caution, she had deliberately not driven when coming to see Liu Xin'ai, not wanting to cause any accidents at such a critical time.

Jiang Baobao stood on the roadside, looking down at her ride-hailing app, and just as she was about to call a car, she saw a car out of the corner of her eye pull up in front of her.

"Miss Jiang, why are you here?"

Assistant Chen's familiar voice rang in her ears.

Jiang Baobao was stunned upon hearing this and looked up subconsciously; sure enough, she saw Li Beijue sitting in the back seat, and she was immediately somewhat surprised.

Isn't this too much of a coincidence?

Can we even run into each other here?

Just as Jiang Baobao was thinking this, she heard Li Beijue say: "Are you going back to the Base? Get in the car; it just so happens I am preparing to go back too."

Jiang Baobao pondered for a moment, nodded, and did not stand on ceremony with him.

Assistant Chen, who was driving in front, had a somewhat subtle expression for a moment.

President Li's acting skills are truly getting better and better... He was clearly keeping an eye on Miss Jiang's whereabouts in secret the whole time, yet he pretends he just happened to pass by here...

Chen Xi complained silently in his heart as he drove toward the villa.

Li Beijue, however, swept a calm glance at the hospital building behind them.

"Are you not feeling well? Why did you suddenly come to the Hospital?"

He asked as if it were an offhand remark.

Jiang Baobao had already thought of an excuse, so she immediately replied without hesitation: "I haven't been sleeping very well lately, so I came to the Hospital to get some sleep-aid medicine..."

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for an instant, and there was some hesitation in his eyes.

The data showed that the eldest daughter of the Liu Family works at this hospital...

Baobao came here to find her.

Li Beijue was perfectly clear about this in his heart; although he knew she was not telling the truth, he still played along: "I have some sleep-aid essential oils over there, if you need them..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the car jolted violently!

Jiang Baobao was caught completely off guard; her body tilted uncontrollably, and her head slammed toward the glass!

"Careful!"

Li Beijue reacted extremely quickly, reaching out with lightning speed, wanting to cushion the back of her head.

Jiang Baobao's hand also subconsciously grabbed at the air, wanting to find a point of support.

"Clang!"

The car jolted again.

Jiang Baobao's head slammed into Li Beijue's hand.

Yet she felt that the sensation in her palm was not quite right.

How come it feels like...

Jiang Baobao's gaze fell onto her own hand subconsciously, and she immediately saw that her hand was placed squarely on a "critical position" below someone's waist!

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

Jiang Baobao's pupils shrank suddenly, and she instantly pulled her hand back as if she had touched a hot potato!

Damn it!

Where did she just touch?

Li Beijue won't overthink this, will he!

She really was just careless, she didn't mean to!

Jiang Baobao was unable to collect her thoughts for a moment, wishing she could simply vanish from the car.

Li Beijue's expression was also somewhat subtle; he had originally intended to say it didn't matter, but as the words reached his lips, he couldn't help but want to tease the person before him.

"So... can I take what just happened as you agreeing to reconcile with me?"

"I... no..."

Jiang Baobao's face flushed bright red, and she glared at the person before her in annoyance, realizing only then that she seemed to have been teased.

A hint of a smile flashed in Li Beijue's eyes as he deliberately waited for her answer with composure.

Jiang Baobao was suddenly even more at a loss for words.

She hadn't touched him there on purpose... either!

It was clearly because the car had suddenly jolted!

Having nowhere to vent her frustration, Jiang Baobao suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Xi: "Assistant Chen, could you please drive a bit more steadily?"

Assistant Chen had no idea what had happened in the back and hurriedly explained: "My apologies, Miss Jiang, it seems they are repairing the road here and there are many loose Shitou; we will take a different route after this intersection..."

Jiang Baobao was instantly rendered speechless and had no choice but to turn her head to look out the window, saying nothing more.

The smile at the corners of Li Beijue's lips grew even deeper; he thought for a moment, then suddenly took out his phone, tapped on it twice, and sent a message.

Jiang Baobao felt her phone vibrate.

She took it out casually, and after just one glance, the tips of her ears instantly burned.

【L: It's fine, I was just teasing you earlier; having you take advantage of me is something I couldn't ask for more.】
