Wait, what was his name again? Xie Jinxing? That name sounds so familiar.
Ah—I remember now, the CEO of the Xie Group in the novel who was plagued by headaches!
[This person could be considered the most powerful figure in the novel. At a young age, he was a force to be reckoned with in the business world, able to manipulate events with ease. It's a pity he had a persistent headache that couldn't be cured, ultimately leading to his untimely death. Judging by the timeline, it seems his time to die isn't far off.]
Afterwards, his family property was divided between his stepmother and younger brother. And that wasn't all; after his death, his cruel stepmother hired a master to dispose of his body and perform rituals to ensure he would never be reincarnated.
I felt a little heartbroken when I saw it, and now I never expected to encounter this situation myself. Although it's a bit of a pity, I have no reason to save him. After all, anything that doesn't benefit me is out of the question!
Xie Jinxing was indeed somewhat shocked to hear this.
Is he nearing death?
He always knew that his headaches might shorten his lifespan, but he never expected it to be this short.
However, he quickly realized something.
Could the fact that he could hear Jiang Ningxi's innermost thoughts be a turning point in his life?
Her delicate phoenix eyes were slightly narrowed, and a faint smile played at the corners of her lips.
"Hello, Ms. Jiang."
When the handsome guy greeted her, Jiang Ningxi was quite accommodating.
"Hello, Mr. Xie."
Then she took advantage of the situation.
"Mr. Xie, do you have a hidden ailment? Let me take a look at it. To be honest, I'm quite skilled in medicine."
Xie Jinxing glanced at the blue hospital gown she was wearing.
She raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? May I ask, Miss Jiang, are you cured of your illness?"
Jiang Ningxi looked down at the clothes she was wearing, not embarrassed at all, and laughed and said.
As the saying goes, a doctor cannot heal himself.
"Besides, I'm not sick, I just had a little accident. My family insisted that I stay in the hospital, but I'm perfectly healthy."
After she finished speaking, she began to look the person in front of her up and down.
"Mr. Xie, I'm serious. If you don't believe me, I can show you right now."
Xie Jinxing looked down at her and smiled faintly, "But, if I showed it to you, you would die, wouldn't you?"
Jiang Ningxi blinked her big eyes a few times. "How could that be? I'm not going to eat you, so how could I die?"
"Well, why don't you take it out and let me see it first, then I'll believe you," Xie Jinxing said, feigning hesitation.
Jiang Ningxi was momentarily stunned. "Huh? This...you think I have?"
Even if she's not a top-tier beauty, it's still easy to tell that she's a beauty!
What caused him to misunderstand and think that she... had... you know?
Xie Jinxing stared at her smooth, fair forehead for a moment. "Nothing? Then what's that on your neck right now?"
Jiang Ningxi: ...Damn it, it's a misunderstanding!
"Your hidden ailment is a headache?"
She turned her head and glared at Fu Xingzhou, who was still standing not far away.
"Damn it, he just has a headache, that's all. It's not like he's a threat at all! It's not like he has a serious illness!"
Her tone was so arrogant, she thought it was some kind of hidden ailment, but it turned out to be just this?
I was instantly disappointed!
Seeing the disappointment flash across her face, Xie Jinxing's lips twitched. "You seem very disappointed?"
"Yeah, I'm really disappointed. After all, I've never seen a man as handsome as you with that kind of problem before, so I'm really curious to see."
"Since it's not true, then forget it." Jiang Ningxi waved her hand and was about to leave.
"Shameless, she doesn't deserve to be Xinyao's sister." Fu Xingzhou, who had guessed Jiang Ningxi's thoughts, couldn't help but frown and complain.
Jiang Ningxi, who was about to step onto the stairs, turned around abruptly.
"What did you say? Say it again if you dare!"
Feeling a burning pain in his back, Fu Xingzhou reflexively shut his mouth.
"Hehe, you and Jiang Xinyao don't even feel shameless, so why should I feel shameless? I have a perfectly good face." After saying that, Jiang Ningxi strode up the stairs.
Xie Jinxing followed with his long legs.
“Miss Jiang, I have a friend who has problems in that area. I wonder if you could help treat him.”
As a result, Jiang Ningxi refused without hesitation.
"Sorry, I can't accept your answer!"
Xie Jinxing couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Thank you for the compliment."
Jiang Ningxi turned around and glanced at him again.
Xie Jinxing raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that right? You only want to treat me because you think I'm good-looking. If I were ugly, you would refuse because I'm ugly too."
"Hmm, you have self-awareness." Jiang Ningxi snorted.
"Can you treat my headache? The price is negotiable," Xie Jinxing asked with a smile.
Jiang Ningxi glanced back at him again and said, "I want half of your fortune, do you want that too?"
"If you dare to ask, I dare to give it to you!" Xie Jinxing answered without hesitation, his eyes extremely serious.
But Jiang Ningxi only dared to think about it, not actually want it.
If she really demands an exorbitant amount, what if this powerful businessman, Mr. Xie, later hires someone to assassinate her?
He chuckled immediately, "Just kidding, I wouldn't dare accept it even if you offered it to me, besides, I'm not short of money right now." Of course, that's impossible.
But she is a clear-headed person.
"I need you to do something for me."
Xie Jinxing nodded without hesitation, "No problem."
Jiang Ningxi couldn't help but laugh, "So agreeable? Aren't you afraid that what I'm asking you to do is something you can't accept?"
"There's nothing I can't accept," Xie Jinxing said casually, following closely behind her.
