Chapter 42: Long Had Been Calculating

  Qiao Ran grasped one corner of the pillow and patted her arm, "Let go quickly, be careful not to suffocate yourself."

  A low, muffled voice came from the bed, "I'm so bored I could die. How many more days until I can go back to school? The doctors and nurses in this hospital are always checking me for this and that, making me feel like a lab rat. Please, I'm a healthy person, don't make me sick with all these tests."

  Qiao Ran was worried that she had really been driven mad, her tone heavy, "What a mess, aren't you going to put the things down? Do you want me to take action?"

  "Go, go, go and mind your own business, don't bother me." He protested calmly, pushing him away.

  Qiao Ran smiled mischievously, stretched out his hand to grab An Xin's pillow and tossed it up and down. The pillow fell due to gravity, and An Xin stared at him with wide eyes. "Ah," An Xin jumped in fright, her mouth twitching.

  Qiao Ran took her hand and pinched it, looking at her deeply. "You've been my secretary for two weeks now, but you still haven't helped the boss with any work performance. When we get back, I'll have to find a good use for you."

  "Alright, alright, don't get physical. I of course want to do more things, but you never give me the chance."

  Qiao Ran didn't mind much, rubbed her hair and said, "Alright, I'll give you more opportunities in the future."

  It seems that Qiao Ran has recently been fond of physical contact, either rubbing her hair or poking her nose, or smiling warmly. According to Duo Duo's theory, when a man wants to have close contact with you, he will unconsciously strengthen his offense, starting from small things and gradually increasing the scale.

  So, Qiao Ran's motive is very clear, completely following Duo Duo's words and moving forward.

  But she also found that her reaction to Qiao Ran's intimate actions was... somehow... becoming less and less resistant, and even gave rise to a lot of excitement, plus a little heartbeat like thunder, face red ears red, what is this? Is this the legendary...

  Have fallen for him?! ~o (>_<)

  Come on, this can't be true, right?

  Love being on top of a beast!

  Hugged the quilt with mixed feelings of joy and worry, sighing for half the night.

  That night, the little nurse on duty was so frightened that she didn't dare to move at night, because in the depths of the corridor, there were always sighs coming from afar, which scared her into thinking that someone's ghost was haunting her.

  At night, Zhou Tang, who was in a state of extreme pleasure with the beautiful Bai Shengsheng's legs wrapped around his waist and her body deliberately rubbing against his chest, received a call from his old friend Qiao Ran. He pressed the beauty to give her a deep kiss, and when she was panting, he patted her face that was lost in ** and said, "Good girl, I'll answer this call, be right back." After finishing speaking, he pulled up his pants and walked to the window.

  "Hey, Qiao Ran! Why are you calling me all of a sudden?"

  Qiao Ran was just opening Google's page to query about the diet and medication to pay attention to after appendicitis surgery, when he said with his left hand holding the phone and his right hand sliding the mouse, "Didn't you borrow your family's nanny? I want to ask you to lend her to me."

  Zhou Tang smiled with joy upon hearing this, "You're the young master of the Qiao family, I wouldn't dare not give in. It's just a nanny, you can have as many as you want, there are plenty of young and beautiful ones to choose from. However, I'm not sure which one you're referring to, is it Xiao Wang, Xiao Li, or...? If you're not satisfied with them, I can help you find a few more."

  The familiar voice of his good friend sounded not unfamiliar to Qiao Ran, who was originally a playboy, don't expect him to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, "You promised that's all." After finishing, he prepared to hang up the phone.

  "Hey, hey, don't hang up! It's rare that you call me. I said after losing the bet last time, you really went to teach at C University?"

  Qiao Ran's face was expressionless, his hand relaxed on the mouse, tapping it lightly on the left upper side, "Mm."

  On the other side, Zhou Tang took out the cigarette from the beautiful woman's mouth, kissed her small lips, and then stuck his tongue in to stir fiercely. "Are you serious? You have time to teach books, why not do a few more deals, wouldn't a few hundred million be yours? Why waste your time."

  With a "puff" sound, Qiao Ran pressed down the lighter and lit a cigarette. He slowly exhaled a smoke ring and said in a slow and deliberate tone, "Making too much money makes life dull, one needs to find some fun things to think about."

  Zhou Tang pretended to be incredulous and replied, "You actually think that having too much money is a nuisance? Am I hearing things wrong? If you feel like you have too much money, then just throw it all at me. And while you're at it, throw that jade bracelet you won at the auction last time my way too. My mom has been complaining every day about how unfilial I am for not getting it for her."

  Qiao suddenly got up, walked to the balcony, pulled open the sliding door, and a refreshing natural breeze blew in. From the high floor of the hotel, he looked down at the city's night scene with its twinkling lights, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority. "You little brat, if you want to tell me that you're short on money, I really won't believe it. Or are you trying to see what will happen to the stock market tomorrow, now that the Wei family is in an uproar?"

  "Stop, stop!" Zhou Tang exclaimed repeatedly. The cigarette ash spilled all over his arm, scalding him and making him yell out in pain. "I'm not joking around, you're really following me? To be honest, did you stay at that school for some other reason?" he asked ambiguously on purpose.

  The neon lights still flickered, and suddenly Qiao felt that the phrase "lonely family" was indeed correct. The more money you make, the more fake relationships you have. Wanting true feelings and simple emotions is like a tsunami that knocks people down. He paused for a long time, then said meaningfully, "The goal is oneself."

  "Hey, I was right after all. Who is it? Do you want me to help tie her up and bring her in front of you? Does wanting a woman need so much thought?"

  Qiao Ran said coldly, "Are you very free?"

  Zhou Tang knew from the tone that Qiao Ran was serious, "Alright alright, I won't interfere, just remember to give me a share when you make money in the future."

  Anxin finally made it through to discharge, and before leaving, the old director specially called Anxin to his own office.

  She pushed open the door, and a burst of dust came out, making her cough. She quickly retreated from inside and said, "Grandpa, how many years has it been since this place was last cleaned?"

  Old Qiao hastily slipped in from behind, carefully pushing the door back, "Hey, hey, slow down little girl, this inside is all my treasure, usually I don't let others come in either."

  Don't worry, just make a face behind his back. This old man has gotten some strange habits as he's aged. Look at this, after the old master got older, he started to like messing around with these dusty things. And he's still a doctor, doesn't he know that inhaling too many particles will put too much strain on his lungs?

  Although An Xin was very reluctant to go in, in the end he couldn't resist the stubborn old man and had no choice but to enter under his enthusiastic invitation. What Grandpa was holding in his hand really shocked him.

  Digression

  Does this count as a little meaty? Eh, although it's not Jo-yeon's, wahahahaha!!

  The meat foam is also delicious!
