Chapter 403 - 403: Another Childish One

Bai Chen’s volatile side, in contrast to his usual refined and elegant demeanor, was far more intriguing.

It also appeared much more genuine.

Previously, Shen Junqing had always considered Bai Chen somewhat hypocritical. Regardless of the person or the situation, he always maintained a mild-mannered and courteous demeanor (except when they were bantering with each other).

Seeing him lose his composure for a change, Shen Junqing couldn’t help but feel an odd sense of accomplishment.

Fortunately, Bai Chen was unaware of Shen Junqing’s peculiar sense of satisfaction; otherwise, he might have actually resorted to violence.

Nan Yan had already investigated all the secrets within the Xi Shijin Research Institute.

However, Xi Shijin was a meticulous person, and the actual confidential information was not left behind at the institute.

Over the course of a few days, Xing Jia, with her outstanding acting skills and the drugs she brought along, had garnered Xi Shijin’s attention and gradually infiltrated their ranks.

As for Xi Shijin’s attitude toward her, he no longer showed much enthusiasm. As for his earlier promise of making her internationally famous, he casually cited her young age and the need for further education as an excuse, indefinitely postponing it.

Nan Yan happened to have other matters to attend to, so she took the opportunity to request to leave.

In Xi Shijin’s office.

“Director, there are some matters at my school that require my temporary return to China.”

Xi Shijin smiled kindly, “Of course, your studies should always come first. Nan Yan, you’re entering your final year of high school, right? Focus on your studies during this important year. Once you graduate from high school, you can come to my research institute and learn from me.”

Nan Yan nodded in agreement, following his lead, “That sounds good. I promised our school principal that I would secure the top spot in the college entrance exams, and the final year of high school is indeed crucial. I might not have much time to divert my attention to research.”

“Alright, then you should return to your home country. Feel free to contact me if you need anything.”

Xing Jia stepped forward and offered, “Director, you’re a busy man. I’ll escort her.”

“Okay, then I’ll have to trouble Nyan to help me send my little disciple off.”

Even though Xi Shijin tried to maintain a courteous demeanor towards Nan Yan, it was clear that in his eyes, Xing Jia’s presence at his research institute was all thanks to Nan Yan. Now, he relied on Xing Jia to ensure that the experiments at the headquarters could continue as soon as possible, so naturally, he treated her with the utmost respect.

Exiting the underground research facility, Nan Yan and Xing Jia took one of Xi Shijin’s cars and headed to the city.

Qin Lu was waiting for them at the hotel.

Upon their arrival at the hotel, Qin Lu gently pinched Nan Yan’s somewhat melancholic face and smiled warmly, “Yanyan, returning home?”

“Yeah,” Nan Yan gently pushed his hand away, “Shen Junqing and Bai Chen will come over later, but before we leave, let’s make a stop at Merck.”

Marcus knew she was in M country and had called her multiple times, urging her to return.

Since she was already here, she decided to go back and visit.

—Li Yuan & Zui Gui: Since you’re already here, why don’t you pay a visit to the Dark Realm headquarters and see us?

Of course, they had been pestering her to return as well.

However, Nan Yan considered that if she went back now, seeing her current appearance might shock them, so she planned to wait for a while.

Bai Chen knew about her situation, but she had instructed him not to tell the others, so for now, she would keep it from both of them.

The fewer people who knew about her rebirth, the better her advantage.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Li Yuan and Zui Gui; she just worried that now that Xi Shijin knew about her, if she paid a visit to Dark Realm headquarters, it might cause trouble.

Currently, both parties were in the shadows, and it was a matter of who would reveal their true colors first.

“You can make the arrangements; the plane is ready whenever.”

Qin Lu naturally had no objections.

Whatever the little girl wanted to do, she could do it.

Nan Yan blinked, and only then did she realize that Qin Lu wasn’t in a wheelchair today; he was standing on his own.

Worried that his legs might not be able to handle it, the three of them moved to the sofa first.

After they sat down, Nan Yan seriously massaged his leg.

It had fully healed now.

In terms of touch, there was no difference between his healed leg and the one that had always been fine.

After touching his leg, Nan Yan sat across from Qin Lu. “Big brother, have you been undergoing rehabilitation training for your leg?”

Qin Lu’s body tensed slightly, and it was only after she left that he relaxed.

She didn’t know how agonizing it had been for him when her delicate, boneless little hand touched his leg.

He had to exercise extreme self-control to avoid any embarrassing reactions.

After calming his emotions for a moment, he smiled faintly and said, “Yes, I’ve been working on it.”

Nan Yan’s special medication had indeed been very effective. Originally, it would have taken at least three to four months before he could get out of bed to begin recovery for the injuries. But with the treatment, he had taken just over twenty days and was no longer dependent on a wheelchair.

Although he hadn’t fully recovered to his original state yet, with his training, it would only take another week for him to make a complete recovery.

Nan Yan reminded him, “Make sure to progress your training gradually; don’t

LUSH IL.

Qin Lu’s eyes sparkled with a deeper amusement. “Of course, I have to listen to the doctor.”

His low and pleasing tone carried a seductive charm.

Meanwhile, Xing Jia was in the corner, indulging in her fangirl fantasies and shivering with excitement.

Was it even possible for her to witness such a suave flirtatious interaction from her young master?

Would she be marked in his mind because she saw something she shouldn’t have?

But…

Shipping them was just too enjoyable!

The sound of knocking interrupted their moment.

Xing Jia hurriedly stood up. “I’ll get the door!”

In the room, there were only three people, and it wouldn’t be right for the young master and the future young madam to answer the door.

When she opened the door, Shen Junqing and Bai Chen were standing outside.

Originally, after being struck by the beauty of her own young master, Xing Jia thought she had become immune to handsome men.

But…

When she saw the two men at the door, each with their distinct style and unique charm, Xing Jia went starry-eyed and exclaimed, “Two handsome gentlemen, please come in!”

It was just unreasonable. Why were these big men more beautiful, more refined, and more enchanting than her, a woman? It was soul-stirring!

Thud!

Nan Yan stood up from the sofa, calling out, “Third Brother, Bai Chen.”

Bai Chen playfully teased, “Little Yanyan, it’s been so long. Have you missed

Shen Junqing pushed him aside and walked up to Nan Yan, saying, “Little sister, tell him you haven’t missed him at all.”

Then, he glanced at Qin Lu and asked, “Is your leg better?”

Qin Lu’s expression became more reserved, and he replied without the same gentleness, “It’s better.”

Bai Chen coldly glared at Shen Junqing and then fixed his gaze on Nan Yan, a dangerous hint of a smile on his face. “Little Yanyan, you haven’t answered me yet.”

Nan Yan hesitated for a moment and then replied frankly, “Well…”

Originally, there were just two childish brats, but now Bai Chen had joined in!

“Yeah,” Nan Yan replied straightforwardly, choosing a word that would keep her out of trouble.

Shen Junqing joined in the fun and said, “Little sister, haven’t you missed Third Brother?”

Nan Yan replied, “I missed you all.” Three childish troublemakers..
