"If I recover, will you marry me, okay?"
Bo Siming couldn't wait to get a marriage certificate with the woman in front of him right now.
"Really? You'll really marry me and abandon Shen Shiyu?"
Shen Ximan half - believed and half - doubted as she lured his thoughts.
"I've never loved her. How can there be such a thing as abandonment! If it weren't for Shen Yuliang's poor management and him having to mortgage his company to me and asking me to bail the Shen family out of the detention center, I wouldn't have bothered with that brainless woman at all."
Bo Siming grinned at her obsequiously like a lapdog.
"Shiyu and I are best friends. Isn't it a bit heartless of you to speak ill of her in front of me? She's fallen from a high - born young lady to what she is now. She wouldn't have survived without your and my support."
Shen Ximan showed her gentle and kind side to the fullest.
"My Ruier is so kind - hearted! Then I'll do as you say. You can be best friends with her for as long as you like! There will be many women more outstanding than Shen Shiyu in the future. I'll introduce them to you one by one."
Bo Siming even blushed and smiled shyly.
"We haven't seen each other for so long. Shouldn't you give me a welcome gift?"
She secretly rejoiced in her heart and contemptuously watched his ugly behavior.
"What kind of welcome gift do you want?"
He pointed at his chapped lips. "Kiss me."
Shen Ximan almost vomited in disgust.
How could there be such a self - indulgent and filthy person?
"I'm not sure if it's appropriate..."
Bo Siming pouted like a child. "What's inappropriate? Given our relationship, it's not excessive to kiss me."
"What if someone comes in? It would be so embarrassing." She still resisted.
"Don't worry. No one will come in at this time. Hurry up and kiss me."
Shen Ximan really wanted to inject him with a syringe when he wasn't paying attention.
To shut his noisy mouth and send him back to his dreams.
"Then close your eyes."
Bo Siming smiled happily. "You still like this game, huh?"
He obediently closed his eyes, waiting for the soft touch.
"Hiss..."
The slight stinging sensation made him suddenly open his eyes and look at the back of his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Ximan said playfully, "Doing what a nurse should do. This drip will be finished soon. Remember to press the nurse call button."
"How do you know how to give an injection?" Bo Siming asked curiously.
"I have many skills. I'll tell you about them slowly in the future."
She put on her mask again and pushed the medicine - changing cart, ready to leave.
"I'll wait for you to come back and marry me."
Bo Siming watched her leave with a mixture of emotion and regret. Looking at the drip on the back of his hand, he grinned.
"Even giving an injection is so gentle, but she won't kiss me. Playing hard - to - get?"
Just thinking about a leisurely life with her in the future filled him with hope and strength. He couldn't wait to start treating his body right now.
"Ruier, I will definitely marry you! Definitely!"
On the way to the suburbs, Xue Xiaoqi remained vigilant all the time.
She was afraid that a black bear taller than a person would suddenly appear on the road.
"It's all A Kun's fault! His nonsense has been disturbing me!"
Just as she was complaining, as expected!
A black shadow in front of her scared her so much that she slammed on the brakes.
"Ahhhh!"
Xue Xiaoqi closed her eyes tightly and didn't dare to open them. She kept begging for mercy.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to intrude on your territory!
"I'll leave right away. I'll go now! Don't eat me..."
Knock, knock, knock. Someone knocked on the car window.
She was about to step on the accelerator and leave when the knock scared her stiff. She didn't dare to move.
"I don't want to die so soon! Don't eat me, don't eat me!"
Qian Li looked speechlessly at Xue Xiaoqi muttering in the car, looking extremely scared and contorting her body in strange ways.
Was he really that scary?
If his car hadn't broken down halfway and he hadn't been lying under the car fixing it for a long time, he wouldn't have been so dirty and would never have dared to stand on the curb to flag down a car for help.
He helplessly knocked on the car window again. "General Manager Xue, it's me."
Xue Xiaoqi's eyes were blurred with tears. "Huh? The bear can talk?"
"It's me. Open the door."
When she saw that it was Qian Li outside, she immediately burst into tears and got out of the car.
Without caring about how dirty he was, she threw herself into his arms.
"Waaaaa, I'm so scared! I thought I was going to be eaten!"
He looked at her with a questioning look on his face. "Ah? Eaten by whom?"
"The black bear!"
Qian Li was speechless. "Where would a black bear come from in such a remote place?"
Xue Xiaoqi hugged him tighter. "A Kun said that! He said there would be wild animals at night. I was so scared just now!"
The gentle night breeze blew through her hair.
The fresh fragrance wafted around Qian Li's nose, and his heart skipped a beat.
He had never felt like this before.
After Xue Xiaoqi calmed down, she realized her gaffe. Without thinking, she pushed him away. "My clothes!"
"… Sorry." His face inexplicably flushed.
"Forget it. It's my fault for being too sensitive. I should be the one apologizing."
She looked up at the situation on the spot. "How about I take you back first?"
Qian Li shook his head. "No. I've called a tow truck. It should be here soon."
Xue Xiaoqi looked at her watch. It was 9:50 p.m.
"How long will it take to get here?"
"It should take about three hours from the city. It's okay. I can wait."
She widened her eyes. "Three hours! It'll be early morning by then."
"No way. I'll take you back first. Hurry up and get in the car."
Xue Xiaoqi didn't say a word and opened the passenger - side door of her car.
"I already feel so guilty about getting your clothes dirty. And your car..."
Qian Li clearly had something on his mind.
"I'll just take it for a wash tomorrow. Hurry up and come here."
He still hesitated. "What about my car..."
Xue Xiaoqi rolled her eyes impatiently, walked over and grabbed his arm, pulling him towards the car. "Don't worry. If it's lost, I'll buy you a new one!"
It was the first time Qian Li had let someone else make a decision for him.
All he could do was sit there obediently, not even daring to breathe loudly.
"I'll compensate you for your clothes."
She was stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.
"I have very picky taste. Are you sure you want to compensate me?"
"Yes. You can have whatever you want."
Xue Xiaoqi couldn't help but come up with a naughty idea and kept it in her heart.
When they arrived at the villa in the eastern suburbs, she carefully carried An Ruo to the back seat.
"Thank you for your help today, Butler Yang."
Aunt Yang waved her hand with a smile. "What are you talking about? It's the third young lady who's been keeping me, an old woman, company. There's no question of trouble."
"Then we'll leave first."
Qian Li just finished taking a shower and ran out without even putting on his shoes.
"G - goodbye!"
Xue Xiaoqi glanced at him and grinned. "Meet me at the entrance of Yancheng Mall at 3 p.m. tomorrow."
With that, she got into the car and drove away.
"Oh dear, why did you run out with your hair still wet?"
Aunt Yang quickly took a blanket and wrapped it around Qian Li.
His eyes were fixed on the car that was about to disappear on the dimly lit road. It was as if his thoughts had been taken away with it.
