Lan Qingyue gently shook her hand, clearly unable to feel any force from Qi Yu's grip. "Boss, my wrist... feels a little hot!"

Qi Yu's face was very close to Lan Qingyue's. From Lan Qingyue's angle, he could clearly see the condition of Qi Yu's skin. For a grown man to have such good skin was truly enviable. The healthy tan added to his rugged charm, giving him a strong and reassuring presence. However…

Why are you so nervous?

Qi Yu's dark eyes, sharp as an eagle's, locked onto Lan Qingyue's anxious expression. Her meticulously trimmed eyebrows furrowed, and her clear eyes lost much of their foxy allure, replaced by a hint of naive confusion. Her face was still the same, but her personality had changed a lot.

Lan Qingyue's mind went blank at Qi Yu's question. What was she nervous about? Of course a little girl would be nervous when a grown man held her hand!

"Boss, I'm not nervous, I just really feel my wrist is hot, so could you please... spare my slender wrist?"

After speaking, Lan Qingyue shrank back, her beautiful, bewildered eyes turning away, not daring to look at this man who was so aggressive.

Qi Yu stared at Lan Qingyue with his dark eyes for a full minute before releasing her wrist. As her heart slowly settled, he said, "Miss Lan, it seems you have a secret you're deliberately hiding!"

Lan Qingyue's heart shattered with a "crack," turning into tiny pieces. Ugh, so cold. Did this man see something?

She frantically tried to think of something to say when Axi called, shattering her hazy thoughts. As soon as she answered, Axi's hurried voice came through the receiver, "Baby, where are you? I'm at the airport, but I can't find you! Are you lost?"

Thinking of Lan Qingyue's "amnesia," Axi felt a pang of sadness. What if she really got lost?

Lan Qingyue put her phone away, her expression indescribable. This guy, he's so loud. "I...I'm going back, I'm already on my way."

I was about to say "I'm taking a taxi back," but when I caught a glimpse of the man next to me, I immediately stopped. These kinds of cars are very expensive to take!

“You’re back now, that’s good,” Axi’s voice trailed off. “I was worried you’d get lost, so I took a taxi to pick you up.”

Of course I would get lost! I'm terrible with directions in real life, let alone in this unfamiliar world.

Thinking about having such a considerate agent, Lan Qingyue felt pretty good. "I'm so sorry, Ah Xi, I was just about to call you when you called."

"That's alright, baby. Just call home and let them know you're safe."

Lan Qingyue: "Okay, thank you."

Qi Yu overheard every word of their conversation, and chuckled.

The laughter wasn't too loud or too soft, but Lan Qingyue heard it clearly, as did Axi on the other end of the phone. He immediately became alert, "Baby, is there a man with you? Who is he?"

Didn't the eldest son of the Chu family get into trouble? Could it be that Bao Bao has found a second spring in his life?

This...this won't do! Her career is on the rise, and it wouldn't be good for her to have a new relationship revealed at this time!

Axi's "worrying about things that are about to happen" went quite far ahead, leaving Lan Qingyue somewhat speechless. She interrupted Axi's increasingly wandering thoughts, saying, "Stop thinking nonsense!"

Axi: "..."

Waaaaah~ Baby actually yelled at him!
