Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin looked at the unreasonable man who protected her, and a mist gradually rose in her eyes.

For her safety, he was willing to do such ruthless things like eradicating the problem completely. His protection of her was much deeper than she had imagined, much deeper.

Being gazed at by Qin Xin like that, Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes gleamed deeply with a hint of a smile: ”Little wife, don’t be moved, this is my duty as your husband.”

He paused and added, ”If you must thank me, then let me have a kiss.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Men!

Men who can’t stop thinking about XX!

Seeing Qin Xin’s little face turn red, Nalan Ye Jue found teasing her to be an incredibly charming affair. However, if he teased the little wife too much, it might not be right.

He changed his tone: ”Or you can just put it on the tab, and I’ll collect later.”

The little wife feared nothing, except for blushing when discussing intimacy. It’s better for him to stop.

But then.

Just as he finished speaking.

Qin Xin stepped forward, closed her eyes, and planted a light kiss on his forehead!

A swift retreat.

After the kiss, she flushed a little: ”Thanks.”

Nalan Ye Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and his gaze on her deepened: ”In that case, I shall reciprocate.”

Reciprocate? Reciprocate gifts?

Qin Xin had not yet comprehended the deep meaning behind this ornate phrase from the man.

She was promptly scooped into his arms by his strong embrace.

A lingering kiss, carefully and densely placed, engulfed her like an inescapable net.

Until the office door was incessantly knocked on, with Lu Yi’s voice persuading from outside: ”Mr. Bai, Mr. Bai, you can’t go in, the Young Master is...”

Only then did Nalan Ye Jue raise his head slightly from Qin Xin, casting an angry glare at the door.

Qin Xin seized the opportunity to step away from his embrace.

Enough, enough, this man’s pace is a bit fast; there are many terms she can never see in the same light, like ”collect later” or ”reciprocate gifts,” aaah.

Chinese characters are truly profound!

Bai Chi pushed open the door, gasping for breath.

”What are you doing? Why didn’t you open the door for me to come in?”

With his casual question.

The two people in the office avoided his gaze slightly.

Qin Xin was blushing to the tips of her ears.

Nalan Ye Jue, being more composed, responded calmly: ”Did you make an appointment? No appointment, no entry.”

Bai Chi was taken aback, realizing it was indeed the rule.

”But, but I’ve come before without an appointment...”

Nalan Ye Jue: ”In the past, I occasionally gave you a pass. Did you think you could always receive special treatment? Do you think you’re the president?”

Bai Chi scratched his head: ”True. Even the president’s daughter is going to be sentenced... Hey, have you heard? Jun Ruyi was actually arrested. I never would have imagined she’d do so many terrible things, even building a dungeon to imprison people. That’s ugly... ahem, little Qingxin, I heard she kidnapped your classmate from Imperial University, do you know them?”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Long time no see, this fool is still such a chatterbox and gossip.

Nalan Ye Jue stopped the gossiping Bai Chi: ”Don’t scare my sister. You have no business here; go amuse yourself elsewhere and stop bothering me.”

Bai Chi, feeling a bit wronged, said, ”Jue, I actually came here for a serious matter. Remember, you said there was a skincare herb you couldn’t find a supplier for, and asked me to help look? I found a package in Bai’s Pharmacy’s warehouse and brought it for you.”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but continue gossiping: ”Who needs the whitening? Is it little Qingxin? Actually, sister, you’re looking better lately, not as ugly.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

She glared at him and then turned the green birthmark towards him.
