Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Stabbing Himself; Teasing the Little Lady Everyday

Lu Bing: ”Ah, hasn’t the Nalan Group acquired the rights to Xinghe’s novel ’Galaxy and You’? The Young Master has even assigned Shen Bixue to play the female lead, planning to make her famous. By then, you’ll surely get a chance to meet Xinghe, so get him to sign a book for me. I’m his biggest fan! As the top sci-fi author, he never hypes himself but still sits firmly at the top of the sci-fi world. He’s just so cool!”

Lu Yi: ”Damn, you know as well as I do that Brother Xing doesn’t like signing books. Each book has at most ten signed copies, and the publisher treats them like treasures to be auctioned off. Even if they print more books because of the movie, I can’t compete with those big-time fans, can I?”

Lu Bing, disappointed: ”True... sigh.”

Life is really tough. Buying a book practically takes Lu Bing’s life!

Qin Xin was fully satisfied after enjoying the delicious food cooked by the man himself, once again marveling that cooking truly is a talent.

It turns out North Pole beech clams make such a good soup; she had never tried it before.

”If you like it, I’ll make it for you often,” Nalan Ye Jue said, seeing Qin Xin’s lazy cat-like expression, feeling a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

Meanwhile, he discreetly covered the spot on his knee where blood was still oozing with a blanket.

Qin Xin, however, sharply noticed the faint scent of blood: ”Did you cut your hand with the knife just now?”

Nalan Ye Jue’s throat bobbed as he stared at Qin Xin for three seconds, then slowly nodded: ”Mm.”

Although admitting he cut his hand made him look a bit silly, it was better than having her discover the injury on his knee.

Otherwise, if she knew he had to have knee surgery just to dance with her, wouldn’t it make him seem completely ridiculous?

Qin Xin immediately got up from the chair, leaving her soup untouched: ”Let me see.”

Nalan Ye Jue remained composed: ”It’s just a small cut, no big deal.”

”That’s not okay. Knife wounds should be taken seriously,” Qin Xin frowned. ”Any metal cut can risk tetanus infection, especially deep and narrow wounds. Tetanus can be serious and life-threatening! I’m a doctor, you have to listen to me and let me see the wound.”

Seeing Qin Xin so anxious, Nalan Ye Jue’s lips curved into a slight smile.

He initially wanted to say, ”No need to look, the cut isn’t deep.”

But, as if guided by some unseen force, he took a deep breath: ”Okay.”

With his right hand behind his back, he quickly sliced his left hand with a knife.

Then, he extended it to Qin Xin.

Qin Xin frowned: ”Why are the knives in your kitchen so sharp, like daggers?”

Nalan Ye Jue’s throat bobbed again: ”Mm. Specially made.”

Having a sharp-eyed little wife sure isn’t easy to deal with.

Qin Xin quickly fetched the medical kit, disinfected and dressed the wound, and insisted on giving him a tetanus shot.

”Keep your hand dry for the next few days.”

She gave a serious reminder.

Nalan Ye Jue enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by her, and the annoyance of having to cut himself had long dissipated. He even felt like teasing her: ”Mm. Looks like I’ll need the little wife to help with bathing.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Seeing the little woman’s ears turning crimson, Nalan Ye Jue finally laughed: ”I meant asking the little wife to help with checking the water temperature and filling the tub. I can still wash myself.”

Qin Xin: ”...!”

Can’t you say it all in one breath?

Seeing the wound on Nalan Ye Jue’s hand herself, Qin Xin didn’t suspect anything else.

When Nalan Ye Jue went to the group, she also asked to go with him: ”I also want to see your satellite monitoring center, can I?”

Nalan Ye Jue: ”Little wife, you forgot again. The Nalan Group isn’t ’yours’ or ’mine,’ but ’ours.’ You can go anytime.”

Qin Xin: ”... ”

Can he stop reminding her? Her ears are about to burst into flames.
