Chapter 57: Chapter 57 Good

"Mr. Bao, the words ’Are you there?’ can be understood as ’I’d like to talk to you’."

After Assistant Lin finished speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at the other person’s expression.

This incident showed that Mr. Bao almost never communicates with others via WeChat, especially not with women.

Bao Shaojin lowered his cold eyes and picked up his phone to type a few words.

Bao Shaojin: [I’m free!] Despite the directors waiting for him in the meeting room, delaying for a little while was no problem at all!

Soon, the young lady replied.

Assistant Lin heard the "ding" and felt uneasy, fearing Miss An would send another message that Mr. Bao couldn’t understand!

An Yin: [Shaojin, do you know where Bao Cheng is? I can’t find him.]

Bao Shaojin stared at the line of words sent by the other party, his gaze like the cold ice of winter, sending a chill through one’s heart!

So, the first time she reached out to him was actually for Bao Cheng.

It seemed the little couple was having a conflict.

An Yin: [Shaojin, are you still there?]

Another message popped up.

Bao Shaojin found these words particularly annoying!

Bao Shaojin: [What do you need him for?]

An Yin: [It’s a private matter, can you help me get in touch with him? Also, ask him to come home as soon as possible.]

So, she’s waiting for that kid Bao Cheng at his place? Given the birth control pills found earlier, it’s perfectly normal for her to be at his place, Bao Shaojin speculated.

He was completely unaware of how unpleasant his expression looked!

Assistant Lin lowered his head as low as he could!

Having been around Mr. Bao for years, just standing next to him was enough to sense his emotional changes. Clearly, at this moment, Mr. Bao was angry!

"Leave!"

Bao Shaojin suddenly spoke.

Assistant Lin heard the three words like a pardon, turned around, and walked away; he really didn’t want to stay by Mr. Bao’s side any longer!

The office was left with only him.

Bao Shaojin lowered his eyes, looking at the message the young lady sent.

He tapped heavily on the phone screen, typing.

Bao Shaojin: [Okay!]

He stood up, walking with measured steps, his tall and firm figure approached the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down; things on the ground weren’t very clear.

The next second, his gaze narrowed slightly, and he dialed a number on his phone.

In the apartment.

An Yin clutched her phone tightly, eyes wide and unblinking at the screen, completely tense.

Okay!

A message from the man came; though just one word, An Yin felt immensely relieved!

She didn’t know why, but as long as he promised, An Yin believed he would follow through.

An Yin wanted to share the news with Jiang Keke, but upon seeing Keke’s absent look, she held back!

What if Bao Shaojin couldn’t persuade Bao Cheng to come back?

Better to wait and see.

Time ticked by.

An Yin knelt next to Jiang Keke, quietly staying with her, occasionally using tissues to wipe her tears.

She had only seen love hurting people on TV before, but now, witnessing her friend deep in it, An Yin had a wild thought: If she never fell in love, no man could hurt her.

An Yin pondered in confusion!

Another matter was troubling her. She leaned closer to Jiang Keke, worriedly asking, "Keke, why don’t you get up off the floor?"

Jiang Keke heard her, lifting her tear-stained face.

An Yin saw her unresponsive, too hurt to hear any words, reached to help her up, "Keke, the floor is cold."

Jiang Keke was helped up by An Yin, the floor littered with mess, An Yin walked slowly, afraid Keke might trip over something.

They had not reached the sofa when the sound of a door opening was heard.

An Yin hadn’t reacted before she saw her friend swiftly turn and run towards the door.

"Keke, be careful..." An Yin was worried she might step on some broken glass or the like.

Luckily, until she stood in front of Bao Cheng, she wasn’t hurt.

At the entrance, Bao Cheng and Jiang Keke stood face to face.

From An Yin’s vantage point, Jiang Keke had her back to her, while Bao Cheng stood tall in front of her, his face was neither happy nor as kind as she had seen before.

Watching them from afar, An Yin only felt herself a bit redundant, yet in the vast hall, she had nowhere to retreat!

"You, you finally bothered to come back!" Jiang Keke spoke first, eyes fixated on the man before her.

Her gaze was so direct, it seemed like she wanted to engrave him in her mind.

"Keke, was it really necessary to make such a fuss?" Bao Cheng’s voice was indifferent.

He didn’t answer Jiang Keke’s question, instead, he returned the question to her.

Seeing her messy appearance, Bao Cheng’s eyes furrowed slightly, "Look at how you’ve become?"

Bao Cheng couldn’t hold back, spoke again.

"Bao Cheng, how have I become? Isn’t it all because of you?" Jiang Keke said with a sorrowful face, coldly laughed, "Every time after a fight, you just disappear, do you want me to leave your apartment willingly, right?"

After speaking, Jiang Keke’s tears uncontrollably rolled down, yet she stubbornly glared at the man.

She just wanted an answer!

Her words were so resolute, coupled with the tears on her face, it softened Bao Cheng’s heart.

No matter what, the joy she had brought him during this time was real, and his affection for her was also real. However, being together for a long time, she wanted to control all his plans and interfered with some of his leisure activities, which was quite annoying for Bao Cheng, who was used to freedom!

These days, although he had cut off contact with her, spending nights partying with friends at bars, he still felt a vague concern for her.

Just as he couldn’t bring himself to contact Jiang Keke, he received a phone call.

Bao Shaojin.

His cousin.

At that moment, he sobered up instantly!

Nervously picking up the phone, he hadn’t even called out "brother" when the other end delivered a voice filled with warning, each word sent chills down his spine, making him too scared to even breathe!

"Bao Cheng, go back to the apartment, and don’t make your girlfriend angry!"

His cousin actually called him by his full name, and beyond that, he even knew about his argument with his girlfriend. Bao Cheng was so scared that his back went cold, he couldn’t even speak properly, opened his mouth to respond, but found his hand shaking a bit.

"Can you do it?"

When the voice on the other end came again, Bao Cheng then dazedly and numbly replied, "Okay, brother..."

Soon after, the call was hung up.

For a moment, Bao Cheng felt as if everything that had just happened was an illusion, yet when he looked at the call log on his phone, he couldn’t help but believe it.

His cousin had indeed called to threaten him.

In the Bao Family, even his parents obeyed his cousin’s words. If he didn’t follow his cousin’s advice, Bao Cheng dared not imagine the consequences.
