Chapter 268 What does it mean to 'keep a low profile'?



Fifteen minutes ago.

Jiang Xin slowly walked into the bathroom and took off her outer clothes.

Her body curves were faintly visible under the soft light.

Then, she loosened her hair, and her long black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall.

Jiang Xin stepped into the bathtub, her hair and body submerged in the water.

With gentle and skillful movements, she used shower gel to wipe her smooth, white body.

In the bathtub, Jiang Xin closed her eyes, enjoying the relaxation and tranquility.

As if lost in thought, a faint blush rose on her cheeks, like peach blossoms in the sunset.

Flower petals floated around her in the water, creating a beautiful contrast with her skin.

After taking a bath, Jiang Xin got out of the bathtub.

Gently wipe your body clean.

He came out.

Ye Feng was stunned when he saw it.

At this moment, it's like a painting.

Her skin was as smooth as a still lake, and every detail seemed to be full of poetry.

Her fair and translucent skin resembled snow under the moonlight, pure and aloof.

Under the light, her skin shimmered with a soft glow, like an exquisite painting that was impossible to look away from.

Ye Feng then realized Jiang Xin's 'hidden talents'.

In every aspect, it exceeded my expectations.

Feeling Ye Feng's undisguised, burning gaze.

Jiang Xin's heart raced, and her face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

Next...

Two hours passed quickly.

If Ye Feng had to be described in one word...

That is...

It's very moisturizing.

Jiang Xin whispered, "Boss, are you thirsty?"

Ye Feng: "Go get me a glass of juice."

"Oh, okay."

Jiang Xin got dressed and obediently went out.

Outside.

Ma Xiaoyan was still waiting there.

Jiang Xin came out.

She keenly sensed that something was amiss.

Jiang Xin's collar was not neat.

and...

I also smelled a strange odor.

She could tell what it tasted like with just a little effort.

Suddenly, an inexplicable anger surged within me.

Despite my repeated warnings and instructions, this woman still ignored me completely!

but!

Never mind, I'm not angry.

Anyway, I've already sided with someone else.

Ten million!

By then, I'll be a little rich woman.

So he smiled and said, "How was it? Did you serve the boss well?"

"Hmm." Jiang Xin's eyes darted around a little. "The boss said he wanted juice, so I'll go get it."

"No, no, no, I'll go." Ma Xiaoyan pushed Jiang Xin back: "You go serve the boss."

He's the most important one; I'll handle these small things.

Before Jiang Xin could speak, Ma Xiaoyan ran away.

So she could only wait at the door.

Not long after, Ma Xiaoyan brought over a glass of fresh orange juice: "Hurry up and take it to the boss."

"Okay, thank you, manager."

Jiang Xin carried the orange juice back to her room.

But suddenly she frowned.

I brought my nose close and took a careful sniff.

Seeing this, Ye Feng asked, "What's wrong? Is the juice not fresh?"

"No," Jiang Xin shook her head slightly, "It's just that the juice tastes a bit strange."

As he spoke, he walked over to Ye Feng's side.

Ye Feng took it and smelled it; there was nothing wrong with it.

Seeing that he wanted to drink it, Jiang Xin quickly said, "Wait a moment, let me test it, it's safer that way."

As he spoke.

Jiang Xin then took off the necklace she was wearing around her neck.

It is a small, round ball.

It has a switch.

Inside the box were some dried flower petals.

Jiang Xin took out a petal and dropped it into the juice.

He then explained to Ye Feng, "When I was a child, I went up the mountain with my grandfather to collect herbs and learned about many medicinal herbs."

There is a medicinal herb that is colorless, tasteless, and has no medicinal effect.

However, it can be used to detect whether food is poisonous.

"If you put it in, and it's poisonous, the petals will melt and turn black..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the orange juice turned completely black.

Ye Feng and Jiang Xin's expressions both changed.

"It's actually highly poisonous!" Jiang Xin exclaimed in disbelief.

Ye Feng's face darkened: "Who took this juice?"

Jiang Xin shrank back: "The manager...maybe she doesn't know either."

Ye Feng carefully recalled what he had heard about Ma Xiaoyan.

When this woman first saw him, her eyes were filled with longing.

It's a yearning for money.

I didn't think much of it at the time.

Looking back now, however, some doubts remain.

Jiang Xin clearly had never experienced anything like this before and looked very flustered.

Ye Feng patted Jiang Xin: "It's okay, don't make a fuss."

Also, could I have some of these flower petals?

This thing is even better than silver needles.

"Give them all to the boss." Jiang Xin handed over the necklaces with both hands: "I'll only wear them as a keepsake; I won't use them on a daily basis."

Ye Feng did not refuse and put it away.

And he remarked that the million was well spent.

If he hadn't spent that million, even if he hadn't fallen victim this time, he would have had a hard time avoiding it next time.

Then, Ye Feng took out a plastic bag and filled it with some juice.

The rest should be emptied into the chamber pot.

We need to get it tested to see what its components are.

Jiang Xin also asked him to come with her to avoid being exposed.

Outside.

Seeing Ye Feng come out with Jiang Xin in his arms, Ma Xiaoyan quickly bent down and asked, "Boss, is the juice alright?"

"Hmm." Ye Feng nodded slightly: "It's very interesting. You've put a lot of thought into it."
