Chapter 92: Chapter 92 Knocking

In an instant, her fair cheeks turned rosy.

She had actually been chatting one-sidedly with Bao Shaojin for such a long time, and had said so much.

Even though most of the messages were retracted, An Yin was still slightly shocked inside.

Regardless of whether the man saw it or not, it was still reckless of her.

Even though Bao Shaojin said she didn’t need to bear the costs, she still intended to repay it all eventually.

After getting out of bed.

She first went to the bathroom to check her abrasions, finding that aside from some bruising, the places where her skin was broken had already started to scab.

After tidying herself up, she hurried off to have breakfast and attend her classes!

***

Underground Manor.

In the hall, attendants stood straight on both sides, while in the center, Bao Shaojin had one hand’s sleeve slightly rolled up. At a glance, he exuded a hint of laziness.

Uncle Wu, standing to the side, felt uneasy seeing the man seated in the prominent position remain silent.

The gentleman had rushed here early in the morning, yet he just sat there without speaking! Uncle Wu slightly bent at the waist, his sharp eyes darting back and forth, racking his brain but unable to guess the man’s thoughts.

"Uncle Wu, you’ve been by my side for a few years now, right?" Bao Shaojin’s calm gaze fell on Uncle Wu. The words seemed merely a casual chat.

"Sir, three years," Uncle Wu replied honestly after thinking it over.

"I was thinking, you used to always follow the old madam, but suddenly being assigned by her to work for me, are you not accustomed to it?" Bao Shaojin withdrew his gaze from Uncle Wu, turned his head, and lit a cigarette. Instantly, smoke swirled around him.

"Sir, sir." Uncle Wu suddenly felt something amiss, a guilty look flashed across his face, "Did I do something wrong?"

"You were simply following orders, how could it be wrong," Bao Shaojin’s expression was calm, his dark eyes reflecting a cold indifference.

"Sir, following you naturally means obeying your orders." Uncle Wu looked toward the person in the main seat, pledging his loyalty.

Uncle Wu met a pair of deep eyes, which seemed to see straight through him, frightening him into lowering his gaze quickly.

"Heh," Bao Shaojin glanced aside and responded, "Are you sure it is me you’re following orders from?"

For a moment, Uncle Wu was speechless, aware that the sir before him was not a child and that some of his minor tricks behind the scenes could not escape unsupervised from the sir’s keen eyes.

"Grandma is elderly, and her health is weakening, there’s no need to disturb her with certain matters." As he spoke, Bao Shaojin had already stood up, flicking the cigarette butt into the ashtray without missing.

Hearing his words, a chill ran down Uncle Wu’s back, and a cold sensation filled his heart. It wasn’t until he saw the man taking strides forward that Uncle Wu solemnly replied, "Sir, I understand."

As Uncle Wu finished speaking, Bao Shaojin was already heading towards the main door.

Only now did Uncle Wu realize why the sir had appeared here, it was specifically to give him a warning!

Recalling the incident at the previous birthday banquet, Uncle Wu wiped the fine sweat off his forehead with his hand.

When Old Madam Bao initially had him follow the eldest grandson Bao Shaojin, everyone knew the real purpose was to keep track of Bao Shaojin’s private moves. Over the years, Bao Shaojin seldom visited here for leisure, and Uncle Wu had not seen him often. The few occasions when he did see him, Bao Shaojin was busy with work, occasionally socializing with a few young masters from the Su Family, Lin Family, and Qin Family.

Over the years, Uncle Wu indeed had no significant information to provide to Old Madam Bao.

Until the last time the sir hosted a birthday banquet at the manor, it was then that Uncle Wu noticed something unusual.

The sir was always cold and distant to others, except for the unexpected little girl who appeared that day.

The sir took the initiative to prepare juice for the little girl.

During this time, he was also injured while protecting the little girl.

Furthermore, when counting the birthday gifts, the sir personally took the little girl’s small wooden box. The other expensive gifts he didn’t even glance at...

The most incredible thing was that this special young lady was actually Bao Cheng’s girlfriend!

Uncle Wu had been with the Bao Family for many years, and he never saw the sir being particularly close with his cousin. Now being so friendly towards his cousin’s girlfriend, it didn’t make sense!

Hence, on the night of the birthday banquet, he reported everything he saw and heard to Old Madam Bao.

Remembering the sir’s words earlier, Uncle Wu had already made his choice.

Having heard of the sir’s ruthless business tactics, Uncle Wu was well aware that this opportunity was given out of consideration for his long years of service in the Bao Family, a chance to correct himself.

Enough!

From now on, it’s better to stay honest and obedient!

***

The incident concerning the injury at Bao Shaojin’s birthday banquet was only discovered by Bao Cheng later because, by the time he sobered up, a day and night had already passed.

It wasn’t until he gathered with brothers from the circle that someone mentioned this matter, only then did Bao Cheng learn that his cousin got injured saving his "girlfriend"!

Moved yet also worried, Bao Cheng feared that his indifferent cousin would take it out on him. He waited and waited, finding no movement from the Bao Family, at which point Bao Cheng released a sigh of relief and shared the incident with Jiang Keke.

The school playground.

An Yin and Jiang Keke sat side by side on the seats by the basketball court.

At this moment, Jiang Keke was looking at her friend with a face full of displeasure, "If Bao Cheng hadn’t told me, would you have kept your injury a secret from me forever?"

Jiang Keke wore a fitted suit, accentuating her graceful and enchanting figure, making her even more alluring.

Since being with Bao Cheng, she exuded a maturity beyond her age in every move and gesture.

"It’s really nothing, it was just an accidental pinch from the mahjong table," An Yin lifted her hand, wiggling a few fingers, "See, the red mark is almost gone."

Jiang Keke leaned in with concern, needing to squint to see the faint red mark.

"Hmph, even if it’s not a severe injury, you should have told me," Jiang Keke insisted.

"I know, next time I will..."

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, there won’t be a next time!"

An Yin’s words were cut off as Jiang Keke covered her mouth.

Jiang Keke shot her a glare.

"Haha..."

"Haha..."

The two exchanged a smile.

Jiang Keke released her hand from An Yin’s mouth.

An Yin actually felt a bit guilty, she hadn’t disclosed her fall down the stairs at Bao Shaojin’s home. Luckily, Jiang Keke wasn’t aware of this, and she even kept her hospital stay a secret.

After all, it wasn’t a glorious incident—the fewer who knew, the fewer would worry!

Apparently, Bao Shaojin didn’t tell Bao Cheng about it either, or Jiang Keke would have been talking everyone’s ear off. Reflecting on this, An Yin thought it was a good thing Bao Shaojin was so tight-lipped!

An Yin was slightly stunned, why was she thinking of this man again?

Truly unbelievable, considering they had no relation to each other!
