Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Neglected

"Housekeeper Liu, it’s late, go back and rest early!" Bao Shaojin’s eyes regained clarity, his voice was commonplace, without any warmth.

"Thank you for your concern, Eldest Young Master, I will." Housekeeper Liu bowed, always maintaining a respectful posture in front of the Bao Family.

Just as Housekeeper Liu, with faltering steps, turned around, a bone-chilling cold voice rang out from behind.

"I am not Ah Xun!"

Housekeeper Liu’s steps froze, feeling a shiver run through his body, simultaneously being stunned by the words of the other party.

As the eldest grandson of the Bao Family and the one in power, every word Bao Shaojin uttered was certainly deliberated over, and the weight of his words was crucial. The phrase "I am not Ah Xun" made Housekeeper Liu feel alarmed.

Did the Eldest Young Master mean that he is not the Second Young Master and would certainly not embark on a path of mutual destruction? Or that he wouldn’t allow the carefully cared for girl to be harmed? Regardless of the thoughts, Housekeeper Liu could confirm one thing: the Eldest Young Master was hurt by Bao Cheng’s girlfriend!

"Alas..."

Housekeeper Liu looked at the elegant Eldest Young Master before him, a sigh escaping from his mouth. "Eldest Young Master..." Housekeeper Liu intended to say more, but was ruthlessly interrupted.

"Grandmother’s health has been fluctuating over the years. I trouble you to take good care of her, and unnecessary worries shouldn’t trouble the elderly." Bao Shaojin stood casually, his cold eyes looking straight ahead as if viewing a lifeless object.

Housekeeper Liu’s expression darkened. The Eldest Young Master was speaking in riddles!

"I noted it down!" Housekeeper Liu nodded.

Bao Shaojin acted as if he hadn’t heard Housekeeper Liu’s words and continued speaking, "Uncle Liu, I’ve always been curious, are you loyal to the Bao Family, or to my grandmother?"

Housekeeper Liu’s gentle face changed dramatically, his eyes glimpsed the Eldest Young Master standing before him. Housekeeper Liu opened his mouth wanting to say something, his lips parting slightly, maintaining this facial expression for a long time until his lips twitched, yet Housekeeper Liu said nothing.

"Suit yourself!" Bao Shaojin glanced at the other party, only a quick look, then gracefully stepped down from the boxing ring and walked past Housekeeper Liu towards the outside.

Assistant Lin waited outside, slightly nodding upon seeing him, "Mr. Bao!"

As expected, Mr. Bao was resting in the "Qin Land." Assistant Lin led the way ahead, feeling that tonight was full of twists and turns compared to the usually calm days. Moreover, Assistant Lin felt that the days to come would only be more thrilling than today!

***

During these few days of classes, An Yin tried to maintain silence whenever facing Jiang Keke.

This unusual behavior of hers was too obvious, and after enduring three days, Jiang Keke finally pulled An Yin to the school’s pavilion during a break in physical education class.

Before An Yin could settle down, Jiang Keke’s bright eyes stared straight at her.

"Tell me, do you have something on your mind?" Jiang Keke crossed her arms, looking as if interrogating a criminal.

When An Yin was pulled by Jiang Keke, her whole heart was in her throat, and until she sat on the cold stone bench, hearing Jiang Keke’s words, An Yin’s heart beat very fast.

An Yin lowered her head, biting her lip tightly.

Seeing An Yin’s aggrieved appearance, Jiang Keke frowned, starting to speculate, "Yinyin, are you short of money?"

Thinking about what troubles her best friend might have, Jiang Keke could only think of this, which is why she had been so silent these days, as if harboring some secret.

"Huh?" Hearing Jiang Keke’s words, An Yin looked up, completely dumbfounded: did she look like she was short on money? An Yin mused inwardly.

Seeing An Yin’s innocent expression, Jiang Keke figured she must have guessed her friend’s secret correctly, hence An Yin’s surprised reaction!

Immediately, Jiang Keke reached out to pat An Yin’s thin shoulder, "Don’t worry, I have some."

Before An Yin could react, Jiang Keke had already transferred some money through WeChat, "Take it."

An Yin raised her eyes to see Jiang Keke’s sincere gaze, her mood growing heavier, her eyes gradually reddening, "Keke, actually, I..."

"Don’t feel pressured, besides I’m lending you this money."

Seeing An Yin on the verge of tears, Jiang Keke hurried to comfort her, never expecting a simple money loan would move An Yin so much.

An Yin almost blurted out what she knew but seeing Jiang Keke’s concerned gaze, she opted for silence in the end.

"Thank you!" To avoid any further wild guesses, An Yin could only admit to the shortage of money, thinking she’d repay it in a few days.

An Yin’s words made Jiang Keke feel relieved, "With money, our Yinyin doesn’t need to have a gloomy face every day!"

After saying so, Jiang Keke reached out to pinch An Yin’s soft and tender face, seeing An Yin’s delicate face slightly deformed, but even this couldn’t hide her extraordinary beauty, Jiang Keke was momentarily mesmerized, feeling envious from the bottom of her heart.

"Ouch..." An Yin yelped.

Only then did Jiang Keke realize she used too much strength, quickly loosening her grip, looking up to see two red marks on An Yin’s cheeks, Jiang Keke chuckled, "Our Yinyin is truly beautiful!" Jiang Keke sincerely praised.

With Jiang Keke’s mischief, the weight on An Yin’s heart lifted, and she couldn’t help but join in, "Our Keke is beautiful too."

After speaking, the two exchanged a smile!

Just when An Yin thought the topic ended, Jiang Keke suddenly propped her hand under her chin, appearing deep in thought, slowly saying, "I haven’t seen Ah Cheng in a few days, and he doesn’t reply to my messages."

"Really!" An Yin’s breath caught, quickly lowering her head, her eyes darting about, not daring to meet the other’s gaze.

"Mm." Jiang Keke nodded seriously, "He sent a message a few days ago, saying he’d be busy for a while and wouldn’t have time for me, hmph, as if I couldn’t tell he’s brushing me off."

Jiang Keke spoke indignantly, her eyes filled with grievances.

An Yin thought of the scene she saw when accompanying Su Yifeng to the hospital, noticing Bao Cheng with another woman, feeling utterly torn, especially seeing her friend care so much for Bao Cheng, An Yin felt deeply troubled.

Gathering her courage, An Yin weakly suggested, "Since he always upsets you, why not leave him." After speaking, An Yin watched the other’s expression with bright eyes.

"No way." Jiang Keke, in stark contrast to her previous dejection, rebuffed without a thought, her face showing some yearning, saying, "He is my first man, from the moment I accepted him, it was with the intent of a lifelong bond, how could I end things just because of temporary neglect!"

An Yin was at a loss, feeling stifling discomfort in her heart.
