nAfter dealing with Qiao Yanjue, Xia Xibei felt tired and fell asleep.
n
n
nBy the time she woke up, it was already after three in the afternoon.
n
n
nShe was shocked upon seeing the time.
n
n
nIt was already the second period!
n
n
nShe had originally wanted to ask for a day off, but she was supposed to meet with Song Jiaren today. If she didn’t show up, wouldn’t Song Jiaren be angry?
n
n
nSo, after she cleaned up, she got up from the bed.
n
n
nAs soon as she did, Qiao Yanjue came in.
n
n
n“What are you doing?”
n
n
n“Going back to school.” Xia Xibei stroked her belly; she was already feeling much better.
n
n
nAlthough she hurt a little bit, it was much better than before, and she could move.
n
n
n“You can’t get the day off?”
n
n
nQiao Yanjue looked at her disapprovingly. Why was she even going to school now?
n
n
n“I have something to do.” Xia Xibei casually replied. “Okay, I’m leaving now.”
n
n
n“I’ll take you there.”
n
n
nQiao Yanjue’s words stunned her. “You’ll take me there?”
n
n
n“Why, are you scared?”
n
n
n“What won’t I dare? You will not eat me.”
n
n
nAlthough today’s Qiao Yanjue was very strange, and she couldn’t see his usual dominance and arrogance as Master Jue, Xia Xibei did not doubt his character.
n
n
n“Follow me.” Qiao Yanjue showed a hint of a smile.
n
n
nXia Xibei shrugged and followed.
n
n
nHuo Zijun came out, handing over a large package of medicinal ingredients. . “These are the medicinal ingredients you wanted.”
n
n
n“Thanks. How much are they?” Xia Xibei asked.
n
n
n“They’re free.”
n
n
nHuo Zijun looked at Qiao Yanjue before Xia Xibei could refuse. “This Mr. Qiao next to you is very rich. These are his medical expenses.”
n
n
nXia Xibei was stunned; she kept feeling as if she had overlooked something.
n
n
nBut she didn’t think too much. She took the medicinal ingredients and nodded at Qiao Yanjue. “Thank you.”
n
n
nIt was rare to hear such kind words from Xia Xibei, and Qiao Yanjue could not react for a while.
n
n
n“You’re welcome.” Qiao Yanjue coughed and took over the medicinal package in Xia Xibei’s hand. “I’ll carry it for you.”
n
n
nXia Xibei couldn’t help raising her eyebrows upon looking at her empty arms.
n
n
nShe didn’t expect that Qiao Yanjue could be quite warm!
n
n
nAfter getting in the car, Xia Xibei frowned, “Why did you get in the car? Shouldn’t you be resting?”
n
n
n“Didn’t I say I was taking you?”
n
n
n“I thought you were talking about making your driver take me.”
n
n
nQiao Yanjue glanced at her and sat in the back seat. “Why can’t I go?”
n
n
nXia Xibei stared at him wordlessly for a long time and finally nodded in resignation. “If you want to come along, fine!”
n
n
nShe sat on the side, far away from Qiao Yanjue.
n
n
nOn the way, the driver suddenly lurched to the right, and Xia Xibei went directly into Qiao Yanjue’s arms!
n
n
n“Sorry, a car rushed out suddenly!” The driver was also in shock.
n
n
n“Be careful!”
n
n
nQiao Yanjue said coldly, his expression unchanging, as if the warmth in his arms did not exist.
n
n
n“Yes!” The driver wiped off some cold sweat.
n
n
nXia Xibei sat up in Qiao Yanjue’s arms. She looked at him, frowned, and said, “Don’t smoke anymore.”
n
n
nAlthough the smell of cigarettes on his body was very light, Xia Xibei still disliked it.
n
n
n“I can’t smoke? Or you just don’t like it?”
n
n
nThinking of the lighter Xia Xibei threw away when she rescued him, Qiao Yanjue felt that he understood something.
n
n
n“I hate the smell of cigarettes! And not smoking is good for your health.” Xia Xibei said, wrinkling her petite nose.
n
n
n“Alright.” Qiao Yanjue nodded.
n
n
nHe agreed so readily that Xia Xibei was a little surprised.
n
n
nShe had thought he would argue with her.
n
n
nQiao Yanjue glanced at her. He was not a fool; of course he knew she wanted this for his own good.
n
n
nMoreover, he didn’t have a strong addiction to cigarettes. He only occasionally smoked a cigarette or two.
n
n
nIf Xia Xibei said he shouldn’t smoke, then he might as well quit.
