Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Avoiding Suspicion

"Speak."

The man’s deep, slightly hoarse voice seemed to have a penetrating force, striking right at An Yin’s heart. Already anxious and uneasy, she felt her mind go blank.

"Shaojin-ge!" she blurted out.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. "What did I say before?" His voice carried a hint of coldness.

"Not to call you that," An Yin answered honestly.

She had been calling him that for a while, and suddenly changing the way she addressed him was indeed a bit hard to get used to.

"You called, is there something you need?"

The man skipped over the topic of addressing him directly.

"Yes." With the man’s prompt, An Yin remembered what Jiang Keke had asked of her. She took a deep breath, mustering great courage, "You..."

"You want to inquire about Bao Cheng’s whereabouts!" Bao Shaojin’s tone was assertive.

"How do you know?" An Yin asked in surprise.

She didn’t notice how her actions had already led the other party to think otherwise.

Hmph, of course, it’s because of Bao Cheng again! Bao Shaojin’s lips pressed tightly together, his rugged face severe, matching his cold, dark eyes, immediately freezing anyone in their tracks.

The other hand grabbed a cigar box from the table, extracted one, and lit it...

"Come out, I’ll take you to see him!" His eyes were dark, his thin lips slightly parting.

"Ah?" An Yin felt that her mind couldn’t keep up with his pace; her small mouth opened slightly in shock. "Now?" she asked, trying to hold back her inner anxiety and uneasy feelings.

"Don’t you really want to see him? There’s only one chance, tell me before I hang up." Bao Shaojin’s tone was cold and indifferent.

An Yin had no idea what to do.

She hurried towards the balcony, wanting to ask Jiang Keke’s advice.

The man’s cold voice rang in her ear.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"I’ll see, see, see..." Before he could finish counting, An Yin quickly repeated several ’see’.

"Come out now, I’ll be waiting for you at the usual place."

Then the call was ruthlessly hung up by the man.

An Yin stood before the balcony door, holding her phone in confusion.

Jiang Keke, who was on the balcony, also heard the footsteps and excitedly opened the door.

"Bang..."

"Ah..."

A muffled groan sounded.

Jiang Keke didn’t realize that An Yin was standing behind the door. In her eagerness to know the result of the call, she pushed the door with a bit too much force. It wasn’t until An Yin’s voice came from behind the door that Jiang Keke felt something was wrong. She hurriedly supported the door, took two steps, and saw An Yin holding her forehead with her hand, looking very uncomfortable. She quickly asked, "Did you hit your head?"

"Yes." At the moment of collision, An Yin only felt her head buzzing, her mind went blank, and even tears instantly sprang from her eyes—it was too painful!

She covered her head and squatted down, staying there for quite a while to recover.

Seeing this, Jiang Keke quickly rushed to the bathroom, and soon came out with a damp towel, "Here, apply this first."

An Yin wiped her tears first, then placed the towel on her forehead.

"Let me help you sit down." Jiang Keke looked at her with deep guilt.

"Alright."

After An Yin spoke, Jiang Keke extended her hand, helping her to the desk.

Jiang Keke stood by awkwardly, wanting to speak but holding back. Seeing An Yin’s discomfort, Jiang Keke swallowed her words, instead asking, "Feeling any better?"

After her head hurt less, An Yin took off the towel. She couldn’t help but want to touch her still slightly aching forehead when a sudden "Pfft" came from Jiang Keke’s mouth.

"Haha..." Jiang Keke clutched her stomach, pointing at An Yin’s forehead while suppressing her laughter, "You’ve grown a horn..."

Even though she felt for her good friend, Jiang Keke was amused by what she saw in front of her.

On An Yin’s fair forehead was a bright red spot, not only that but it also had a big lump. Coupled with her pure, flawless face and slightly reddened eyes, it looked adorable, resembling a little white rabbit.

Hearing Jiang Keke laugh, An Yin quickly got up and walked to the bathroom, mumbling, "What horn?"

When she saw herself in the mirror, An Yin was stunned. This—this was too scary!

"Should we go to the hospital to check it out?" Jiang Keke followed her to the bathroom, stifling her previous laughter and started worrying about her friend’s conspicuous lump on her forehead.

"No need." An Yin refused. Apart from the swelling being a bit painful, she was otherwise fine and didn’t want to waste money at the hospital.

"Yinyin, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it." Jiang Keke apologized sincerely with a dejected face.

"I know, it’s alright now, you don’t have to worry." An Yin comforted her. Then she remembered the contents of the phone call and looked up, "Keke, Bao Cheng’s cousin said he’ll take me to meet Bao Cheng now."

Next, An Yin recounted the call’s contents, of course excluding the part about the address form.

After hearing An Yin’s words, Jiang Keke pondered for a while and said in confusion, "Why does it seem like his cousin knows you well?"

It was just Jiang Keke’s guess, but right now she just wanted to know Bao Cheng’s situation and didn’t think deeply about this matter.

"Not true." An Yin lowered her head, denying it.

Jiang Keke didn’t pursue it. Thinking about her friend’s upcoming meeting with Bao Cheng, she instructed, "Remember to call me once you see him."

"Got it." An Yin wasn’t eager to leave.

"Hurry up, maybe the driver sent by his cousin is already at the school gate." Jiang Keke urged, pulling An Yin to leave.

"Phone." An Yin reminded.

Jiang Keke stopped, took the phone, and handed it to her friend, then pushed An Yin along, "Waiting for your good news."

Seeing Jiang Keke so concerned about Bao Cheng, An Yin felt a heaviness in her heart.

The two walked out of the school.

On their way, An Yin tried to keep her head down.

Jiang Keke covered her mouth, "Even if there’s a horn on your forehead, our Yinyin is still just as pretty!"

Hearing Jiang Keke’s joke, An Yin playfully punched her arm a few times, "You’re still laughing, then I won’t go!"

After speaking, An Yin stopped walking.

"I won’t laugh, I really won’t." Jiang Keke quickly adjusted to a serious expression.

Truly someone who had taken acting lessons, the way she controlled her expressions left An Yin in awe.

Just as they were about to leave the campus gates, Jiang Keke halted, "Why don’t you go first, I’ll..." Jiang Keke hesitated sheepishly.

Jiang Keke thought that Bao Cheng’s cousin must have sent a driver to pick An Yin up. That man seemed so strong-willed; how could he regard people without any status like them! Jiang Keke mused to herself.

Even if the one sent was just a driver, Jiang Keke still didn’t dare to meet them. Her position was too awkward; in the eyes of the Bao Family, An Yin was considered Bao Cheng’s "girlfriend." She’d rather not appear in front of the Bao Family members, even if the person was just a driver—she wanted to avoid suspicion!
