“Useless, all of you are useless. You couldn't even kill one person, and in the end, you took yourselves down with him.”
“I usually keep you guys around and you’re all just gluttons.”
Zhang Ke sat on the sofa, tapping his wine glass, his face contorted with anger.
He had originally thought dealing with Qin Hui would be a piece of cake, but he didn't expect it to become so troublesome. It seemed he had truly underestimated this kid.
“Young Master, what do we do now?”
The butler asked with a pale face. He knew Zhang Ke wouldn't let Qin Hui off the hook. Anyone who offended the Young Master never ended up well.
“Put this Qin Hui aside for now. We'll deal with him later. By the way, how are things progressing with Jiang Yanxi?”
Zhang Ke picked up his wine glass, his eyes cold as he asked.
Soon, a young maid poured red wine for Zhang Ke.
“We've intercepted her. The celebrities invited to the Jiang Group's new product launch have been bought out by us at double the price.”
“The Jiang Group's launch is the day after tomorrow. They won't be able to find a new spokesperson in such a short time. This will deal a huge blow to their new product. Then, we can seize the opportunity to acquire the Jiang Group's stock.”
The elderly butler said shrewdly.
“Good, excellent. I'll just wait for Jiang Yanxi to beg me then. Even if she doesn't, I'm confident I can bring down the Jiang Group. Won't Jiang Yanxi be my plaything then?”
Thinking of this, Zhang Ke’s cold smile widened.
Originally, Zhang Ke had intended to obtain the Jiang Group through pursuing Jiang Yanxi. Since that plan didn't work, he had to resort to more drastic measures.
…
In the room, after Qin Hui administered three acupuncture needles to Sister Xue, he managed to expel the toxins from her body.
As the toxins were forced out, Chen Jiaxue gradually woke up, though her complexion was a bit pale.
When Chen Jiaxue regained consciousness, the first thing she saw was Qin Hui's familiar face.
“Sister Xue, it’s alright now. I’ve dealt with them all,”
Qin Hui said calmly to reassure Sister Xue.
“Good brother, you've saved me so many times. What can I do to repay you?”
Chen Jiaxue asked with a wistful gaze.
Looking at Sister Xue's wistful eyes, Qin Hui couldn't help but laugh, “You're my sister, aren't you? It's only right that I save you. Talking about repayment would hurt our feelings.”
“Hmph, using that excuse again. I've decided, I’m sticking with you from now on. I must pledge myself to you.”
Chen Jiaxue stated with unwavering resolve.
If Qin Hui hadn't been by her side, Chen Jiaxue knew she wouldn't be this safe. No matter what, she was committed to this man.
Seeing Sister Xue’s determined look, Qin Hui couldn't help but offer a wry smile.
“Alright, Sister Xue, you should rest well. I'll go cook you some noodles.”
After tucking Sister Xue in, Qin Hui quickly left the room and headed to the kitchen.
Arriving in the kitchen, Qin Hui sighed in relief, but then shook his head helplessly. Qin Hui knew he probably wouldn't be able to shake off this sister.
However, having such a sister wasn't bad. Qin Hui had lived with his master since he was young and had rarely experienced familial affection. It was rare to have a sister who cared for him, and Qin Hui cherished it.
In the room, Chen Jiaxue slowly sat up, propping herself against the bedside.
Although the toxins had been expelled, Chen Jiaxue's body was still somewhat weak.
“Good brother, you’re always so good to me. I really can’t think of anything to repay you with.”
Chen Jiaxue murmured to herself, leaning against the bed.
After some deep thought, Chen Jiaxue finally made a decision.
Chen Jiaxue was very smart. She knew she had to take action to keep Qin Hui.
Qin Hui was too outstanding, and a man like him would never lack women. If she didn't make a move soon, she wouldn't even get a drop of soup later.
In matters of the heart, Chen Jiaxue had to be a bit clever. If something could be held in her hands, she wouldn't want to let it go.
After all, she was experienced. Although she hadn't been in a relationship, she was well aware of the joys and sorrows of those around her.
Many times, people who loved each other deeply couldn't escape separation in the end.
Chen Jiaxue certainly didn't want such a thing to happen to her.
Ten minutes later, Qin Hui came in with a bowl of vegetable and shredded meat noodles. Two perfectly fried sunny-side-up eggs were placed on top.
“Sister, the noodles are ready. Eat up quickly.”
Qin Hui sat down next to Sister Xue and said.
Looking at the steaming noodles, Chen Jiaxue's heart felt warm. It had been a long time since someone had cooked for her. This feeling was very special.
“Sister is like this, how can I have the strength to feed myself? Why don’t you feed me?”
Chen Jiaxue said with a pitiful expression.
“Okay, fine.”
Qin Hui nodded, but feeding someone else was a first for him, let alone a beautiful woman like Sister Xue.
Qin Hui picked up a strand of noodles, swirled it quickly, and was about to put it into Sister Xue’s mouth, but she turned her head away.
“It’s too hot. Blow on it for me. I’ll eat it when it cools down.”
Chen Jiaxue said pitifully.
Seeing Sister Xue's pitiable look, Qin Hui found it amusing. Although he knew Sister Xue was pretending, Qin Hui felt he should play along.
Soon, with Qin Hui's care, Sister Xue finished the bowl of noodles, feeling a lingering sense of satisfaction.
After Qin Hui put the bowls in the kitchen, Chen Jiaxue stretched. She felt much more energetic after eating.
After washing the dishes, Qin Hui checked the time. It was past eight in the evening, and he still had to return to his Chinese medicine clinic.
Seeing Qin Hui about to leave, Chen Jiaxue blocked the doorway.
“Good brother, it’s so late. Why don’t you stay the night at my place? Can you bear to leave me alone to guard the empty room?”
Since she had made her decision, Chen Jiaxue wouldn't let Qin Hui leave easily. She had to have him tonight. Strike while the iron is hot.
“Ah, Sister, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”
Qin Hui scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Qin Hui naturally knew what Sister Xue meant, but he hadn't expected her to be so direct. Qin Hui had originally hoped their relationship would progress naturally.
“What? Are you disgusted with me?”
Chen Jiaxue walked up to Qin Hui, her breath warm and fragrant.
Being cornered by a woman, Qin Hui’s face flushed slightly.
He knew Sister Xue was very good to him and was a very intellectual woman. Qin Hui was naturally happy to receive her affection, but he hadn't planned to advance their relationship to this stage yet.
“Sister Xue, how could I be disgusted with you? I just have my own concerns. Once these concerns are resolved, I'll have plenty of time to spend with you.”
Qin Hui looked directly into Sister Xue's beautiful eyes and said very seriously.
Seeing Qin Hui's response, Chen Jiaxue nodded slightly. It seemed this little guy still cared about her. What a pity, she wouldn't be able to 'feast' tonight.
*Mwah.*
Although she couldn't have the delicious meal in front of her, Chen Jiaxue still took the opportunity to plant a firm kiss on Qin Hui's cheek, as a reward for herself.
Suddenly being kissed, Qin Hui's mind went blank, and his face felt hot.
“Good boy, sister will wait for you. Sooner or later, I’ll devour you.”
Chen Jiaxue giggled, swaying her alluring waist as she returned to her room. If she stayed any longer, she feared she might actually devour Qin Hui.
