Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother
Chapter 167 Subversion

Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Subversion

"Cousin!" he reminded her.

Scoundrel? She knew that rascal was no good, so why was she still clinging to him?

"A cousin is still a brother." An Yin justified, her lively eyes clear and bright, with that bruised forehead on her stunning face making her appear a little adorably silly.

Bao Shaojin rarely saw her this sharp-tongued. For Bao Cheng, that brat, the young girl had shed her usual timidness. Bao Shaojin’s cold eyes instantly froze like ice.

Seeing his silence, his face frighteningly gloomy, An Yin added, "You were the one who asked how I should handle it first, and after I answered you..." She didn’t finish her sentence, leaving the rest unspoken.

An Yin felt wronged, her hands restlessly twisting the hem of her clothes, her gaze caught by the pool of blood on the ground.

"I’ll reprimand him."

After a long pause, the man finally spoke.

Upon hearing this, An Yin looked up in disbelief. Once the man spoke, it was definitive; he wouldn’t deceive her. For some unknown reason, his words always incited an inexplicable trust in her.

"Thank you," An Yin mumbled, then nervously pointed at his hand, "You’re injured; please get it bandaged, okay?"

Her innocent face revealed a hint of concern.

Bao Shaojin’s sharp gaze landed on her face. He didn’t respond but turned around and began to walk.

An Yin couldn’t guess the man’s thoughts and trotted after him.

Not far away, Assistant Lin signaled to a nearby male doctor. The two quickly approached and led Bao Shaojin to the doctor’s office.

The wound on Bao Shaojin’s hand wasn’t too serious, just a broken skin with some alarming blood seepage. After disinfecting it, the doctor wrapped it with gauze.

An Yin and Assistant Lin stood aside the entire time.

After the wound was treated, An Yin thought they would leave, but as she lifted a foot, a hand firmly pressed on her shoulder. An Yin stiffened and looked at the owner of the hand, seeing the man speaking to the doctor.

"Look at her."

With a slight push from Bao Shaojin, An Yin, like a little lamb to the slaughter, was seated next to the doctor.

"Doctor, I-I’m fine." An Yin felt nervous upon seeing the doctor in a white coat, her words stuttering as her resistance showed on her face.

"Sit still!"

Bao Shaojin frowned, his eyes clearly irritated.

An Yin was genuinely afraid of the man before her and obediently sat still.

The male doctor, seeing the young girl’s honest demeanor, was internally surprised. Everyone in T City knew of Mr. Bao, and rumors had it he stayed away from women, never having a single female around him. It seemed he discovered a shocking fact today!

Seeing Mr. Bao carry the young girl into the hospital amazed the doctor, prompting him to gossip internally about her background. Surely, anyone Mr. Bao favored must come from an eminent family.

While the male doctor pondered, he carefully examined An Yin’s forehead, asked some questions, and gave her a bottle of ointment to reduce the swelling.

When they left the hospital, it was already dark. A chilly breeze blew, causing An Yin to shiver slightly.

Bao Shaojin looked at the young girl’s thin frame, and his dignified silhouette exuded a sense of solitude.

After all, she was still Bao Cheng’s girlfriend!

Assistant Lin drove up to them, stopping nearby before getting out to open the car door.

An Yin and Bao Shaojin took turns sitting in the back seat.

During the drive, the oppressive atmosphere inside the car made An Yin feel stifled. Attempting to ease the tension, she turned to look at the man beside her, "How did you hurt your hand?" An Yin remembered that when they arrived at the hospital, the man was fine. How did he get injured while she talked with Bao Cheng?

Did he fall? An Yin couldn’t imagine such a dignified man tripping.

Bao Shaojin met the young girl’s startled eyes, "You’re quite nosy." His words were as light as a breeze.

An Yin regretted asking immediately!

She quickly turned her head, pretending to look at the scenery outside the car window.

Just when An Yin thought they would remain silent, he spoke again, startling her with his next words.

"Do you think you have a future with Ah Cheng?"

His seemingly casual words left An Yin half-chilled, fearing for her friend’s sake.

"What do you mean by that?" An Yin abruptly turned her head, looking directly at him.

Bao Shaojin’s gaze was sharp, carrying a commanding presence, but he didn’t speak again.

An Yin’s eyelashes quivered, knowing that the man before her never spoke without purpose. Since he mentioned it, there must be meaning behind his words.

Did he mean that there was no future between Bao Cheng and her?

Before An Yin could ask more, she saw him leaning back in his seat, his eyes slightly closed, showing a tired expression. Ultimately, she descended the car with doubts, returning to her dormitory.

Thinking back to how the man hadn’t lifted an eyelid since she got out of the car, not even acknowledging her repeated goodbyes, An Yin felt incredibly stifled inside.

In the quiet dormitory, she was alone. Recalling Jiang Keke was still waiting for her call, An Yin took out her phone and quickly dialed.

The call connected after just one ring.

"Yinyin, did you see Ah Cheng? What’s he doing? Why isn’t he replying to my messages? He..." Jiang Keke fired off a string of questions like firecrackers, only then realizing she had asked too much. She held her breath anxiously, waiting for An Yin’s response.

"He was injured, at..."

"Ah, how did he get hurt? Is it serious? Which hospital is he at? I want to see him." Jiang Keke interrupted with a crying tone.

Hearing her friend’s words filled with concern for Bao Cheng, An Yin replied dejectedly, "Keke, don’t panic. He’s already fine."

"Really?" Jiang Keke asked with a sobbing tone.

"Of course, he was just accidentally hurt while stopping a fight." An Yin relayed what Bao Cheng had said, unsure if his words were true or not.

"Then why hasn’t he contacted me at all?" Jiang Keke grumbled with frustration.

"Maybe he didn’t want you to worry." In an attempt to comfort her friend, An Yin murmured.

"Oh, I knew he cared about me," she sobbed, "oh..."

On the other end, Jiang Keke spoke intermittently, reminiscing about her past sweet moments with Bao Cheng. An Yin listened quietly, feeling more and more emotional...

An Yin had witnessed Jiang Keke and Bao Cheng’s relationship!

Every time they took a step forward, Jiang Keke would talk about Bao Cheng’s kindness, his gentlemanly manners, and how generous he was with his girlfriend...

Jiang Keke once lamented more than once, saying she felt like the Cinderella from fairy tales who finally met her Prince Charming. Hearing this, An Yin was genuinely happy for her friend.

In just a few short months, Bao Cheng completely overturned An Yin’s perception of him!
