Chapter 75 Confession

"I usually don't like listening to music, but my mother does. Will I remember the songs she plays after listening to them every day for a long time?" said Zhao Xiaofei.

"So what do you like? Playing games?" Qin Baobao asked.

"I guess so!" Zhao Xiaofei was thinking about what he liked. When he was a child, he wanted to be a bomber pilot, but later he found out that his family background would definitely prevent him from going, unless he went abroad to study. But his family simply didn't have the money to support him to study abroad to fly passenger planes. When he grew up, he wanted to be a game developer, but unfortunately, he didn't have the talent. Later, when he went to college, he had no dreams at all. He just wanted to marry Jiang Xiaomei and have a stable job. He lived a peaceful life and that was it. Who knew that fate would be so cruel? Now he has become a rich man, and the woman he wanted to marry is no longer by his side.

Seeing Zhao Xiaofei's sad eyes, Qin Baobao smiled and said, "Why don't we go out for a walk and take me home!"

"Okay! Let's go!" Zhao Xiaofei's sadness was fleeting. He cheered up again and walked down the street with Qin Baobao. They passed a singer filming a Douyin video. Zhao Xiaofei gave him 100 yuan. They requested a song and looked back. When the piano music started, Zhao Xiaofei boldly took Qin Baobao's hand, intending to dance with her on the side of the road.

Qin Baobao's face instantly flushed all the way to her neck, but she didn't refuse. The two of them danced gracefully to the singer's singing. This was all captured on the singer's TikTok account. The melancholy song, paired with the image of the two dancing together, evokes a sense of melancholy reuniting after years apart. They seemed reluctant to part, their embrace deep and affectionate.

Zhao Xiaofei sent Qin Baobao home and returned to the hotel without going upstairs. When Qin Xiaomi saw her sister coming back, she immediately pulled her into the bedroom and said excitedly, "Sister! I didn't expect you to become famous just by dating. Look, you and Zhao Xiaofei are famous on Douyin. The picture is so beautiful! At first I thought it was two women dancing, but when Zhao Xiaofei turned around, wow! So handsome! Look, people say you two are a perfect match! 20,000 comments instantly!"

Qin Baobao was stunned and immediately took Qin Xiaomi's phone to check. The headline read, "Couple Dancing on the Street, Stealing the Spotlight!" She put down her phone and asked, "Mom, do they know?"

"If my parents knew about this, it would be my turn to talk to you. But it's good. Did you guys get a room?" Qin Xiaomi asked.

"You! I wonder what you're thinking about every day!" Qin Baobao ignored him and planned to go back to the house to sleep.

"Sister! Tell me, what does it feel like to be in love? Is there kissing?" Qin Xiaomi asked with a smile.

"Today we just held hands, and he was so nervous that he held my hand while we were riding the roller coaster!" Qin Baobao said.

"What? He's too weak! Shouldn't you scream loudly and hold his hand when riding a roller coaster? This doesn't fit the plot!" Qin Xiaomi said.

"You thought it was an old TV drama! Besides, you've made me immune to roller coasters! I can't pretend to be scared anymore!" Qin Baobao said helplessly.

"Oh, sister! Life is a play, it all depends on your acting! If you act so fragile, it'll spark his protective instincts. Once he sees your pitiful appearance, he might just hug you and say, 'Don't be afraid, baby, I'm here!'" Qin Xiaomi's face lit up with an exaggerated expression as she hugged her sister, pretending to be Zhao Xiaofei. This gave Qin Baobao goosebumps, and she quickly pushed her sister away. The two sisters started laughing and playing around.

The next day, Zhao Xiaofei called Qin Baobao and asked her to book a flight back to Beijing. So the two of them flew back to Beijing, and Zhao Xiaofei went straight back to the bungalow to travel through time. Qin Baobao went straight back to the company, and as soon as she entered, she realized something was wrong. Everyone looked at her differently. They spoke respectfully, and even Xiaoling, who had a good relationship with her, rushed to do any work for her, and no one asked her to go to the front desk. She basically didn't leave the office after she returned to the company, and it wasn't until she had lunch with Xiaoling at noon that she learned that the video of her dancing with Zhao Xiaofei had been seen by everyone in the company.

Everyone thought Qin Baobao might be the future boss of the company, so no one dared to ask her to do any work. So everyone worked incredibly hard and spoke to her with extreme politeness.

Qin Baobao was not happy, because she knew that she and Zhao Xiaofei were only just beginning. She hadn't even heard Zhao Xiaofei say that he liked her.

"Xiaoling, there's really nothing going on between the boss and me! We're not in a relationship yet!" Qin Baobao explained.

"Not in a relationship? Why are you hugging so tightly if you're not in a relationship? I see that the way Boss Zhao looks at you is different, it's full of affection. Who would believe you if you said you weren't in a relationship!" Xiaoling said. She thought to herself, that's impossible! You were like that, dancing on the street late at night, and you said you two were innocent, who would believe it! You're all adults, what's there to be embarrassed about? Could it be that the boss doesn't allow you to make your relationship public? Thinking of this, she immediately said, "Baby, could it be that the boss doesn't allow you to reveal your relationship? Could it be that he's just playing with you, he might have other women outside!"

"Oh! Really not! I'm really not in love with Xiaofei!" Qin Baobao shouted loudly in injustice.

"Oh! Xiaofei has been called, and you still say no! It seems that you will be the boss lady of this company in the future. We have such a good relationship, and the salary increase in the future will all depend on you!" Xiaoling said with a smile.

Qin Baobao thought to herself, "I haven't made it yet! Even if I did, I can't give you a raise. If there's any problem, I'll fire you first." She couldn't clear herself of this even if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Zhao Xiaofei returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the first news he received was a crushing defeat on the Songjin front and the death of Hong Chengchou! However, none of this mattered; it had nothing to do with him. The key point was that Sun Chuanting had died that year, and the Chongzhen Dynasty was doomed. Furthermore, the rumor about Hong Chengchou's death was definitely false; they certainly hadn't received accurate information. The old traitor must have surrendered, though his surrender was certainly forced. However, the advice he gave to Dorgon brought great suffering to the entire Han people.
