Chapter 1270: Chapter 1271: Asking My Wife for Leave

Seeing the two in a deadlock, Xia Xiner said, ”Yu Shan, you guys can go out now. I’ll be Lin Chen’s assistant and keep an eye on him.”

Xiao Yushan glanced at Xia Xiner and nodded, ”Make sure you watch that pervert and don’t let him harm Xiao Qi.”

”Don’t worry, if he dares, I won’t let him off.” Xia Xiner smiled.

After Xiao Yushan and Jin Bingbing left, Xia Xiner said, ”Now you can go ahead and treat the illness.”

Lin Chen looked at Xia Xiner, ”Why do you trust me so much?”

Xia Xiner replied, ”Because you once said doctors have kind hearts, and as a doctor, right now Xiao Qi in your eyes is not a woman but a patient. Besides, I trust when you’re needling her, Xiao Qi can’t be wearing clothes. If Yu Shan and Bingbing saw that, it wouldn’t be good, so I’ll keep it a secret for you. That means only the two of us will know about this.”

Lin Chen nodded, ”Our Xin’er is still the most understanding one.”

Xia Xiner helped Lin Chen take off Xin Xiaoqi’s clothes, then Lin Chen took out silver needles and inserted them in several acupuncture points on her chest.

Soon, Xin Xiaoqi calmed down from her nearly frantic state.

Her skin gradually returned from red to its normal color, the raging heat from her body subsided, and Xin Xiaoqi looked utterly drained, fainting to the ground.

Lin Chen removed the silver needles, placed his hand on Xin Xiaoqi, and streams of life energy flowed into her body. Moments later, Xin Xiaoqi opened her eyes.

Upon opening her eyes, Xin Xiaoqi looked at Lin Chen in confusion, ”Where am I? What happened to me?”

Lin Chen smiled, ”You’re home now. Today you went to a meeting and ended up getting kidnapped.”

Xin Xiaoqi then recalled what had happened, ”I got a message from Wu Xiong asking me to meet at a café, but no one showed up. I had a cup of coffee and passed out.”

Lin Chen snorted coldly, ”The coffee you drank was definitely poisoned, and Wu Xiong set you up.”

”That bastard Wu Xiong, I knew something was wrong.” Xin Xiaoqi said angrily.

Lin Chen nodded, ”Looks like the failure of Xiaohua and the others’ operation is directly related to Wu Xiong.”

”I won’t let him get away with it.” Xin Xiaoqi said with fury.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”To catch a thief, we must catch him red-handed. I’ve set a trap for him, and I believe he’ll walk into it himself.”

Hearing voices, Xiao Yushan and Jin Bingbing rushed in, ”Xiao Qi, are you alright?”

”I’m fine, Sister Yu Shan. Thanks to Lin Chen, otherwise...” Xin Xiaoqi’s face flushed with a sense of embarrassment.

Even though she had been unconscious just now, some memories remained.

At this moment, Lin Chen’s phone rang. It was Qiao Xue calling.

”What made this girl think of calling me?” Lin Chen was puzzled for a moment before picking up the call.

”Lin Chen, are you planning to not come home tonight?” Qiao Xue’s cold voice came through from the other side.

”No, I’m out with friends but heading back now. Did you miss me?” Lin Chen awkwardly chuckled.

”Who misses you? I’m just worried Grandpa might come and check on you. Come back immediately, and I’m hungry. Bring some ingredients back to cook dinner for me.” Qiao Xue said coldly.

”Alright, wait for me obediently at home.” Lin Chen smiled.

”What, your ice queen wife misses you?” Xiao Yushan sneered.

Lin Chen chuckled awkwardly, ”Just trying to get the task done. Take good care of Xiao Qi. I’ll head off now.”

Saying that, Lin Chen reminded Xin Xiaoqi not to reveal that Wu Xiong was a traitor before leaving the villa.

Upon entering the house, Qiao Xue was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

”Where have you been? You left the office without permission this afternoon and came back so late.” Qiao Xue said with a hint of dissatisfaction.

”Oh, had to handle a few things, so I got back late.” Lin Chen laughed it off.

”You went out with your little lover, didn’t you?” Qiao Xue’s voice had a chill to it.

Lin Chen looked into Qiao Xue’s eyes and suddenly smiled, ”What, are you jealous, my dear wife?”

”Jealous? You’re overthinking it. I’m just warning you to remember your status and know what you should and shouldn’t do.” Qiao Xue said coldly.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, ”Haven’t you always said we’re just putting on an act? Then why do you care so much who I’m spending time with?”

”You...” Qiao Xue was at a loss for words and glared at Lin Chen fiercely.

”In any case, I hope you can go to work on time and come home on time. Don’t cause me unnecessary trouble.” Qiao Xue huffed coldly.

”Alright, look at all the goodies I bought you. Let me go cook for you!” Lin Chen said with a big smile.

Seeing Lin Chen being so attentive, Qiao Xue was momentarily taken aback.

Soon, a plate of delicious-looking braised ribs and fragrant rice was served.

Qiao Xue tasted it, and as usual, it was delicious.

”Wife, are you satisfied with my cooking?” Lin Chen watched Qiao Xue eat with amusement.

If her current eating manner were posted online, no one would believe this was the elegant ice queen CEO.

Qiao Xue glanced at Lin Chen and said coldly, ”Go ahead, what’s your request?”

Lin Chen was initially surprised but smiled, ”You know me well, wife. Indeed, I have a request. Could I take a few days off?”

”Days off?” Qiao Xue’s eyes turned icy.

”This should be your second day at work, right? First day you skipped half the day, and now you want to take time off on the second day. Lin Chen do you really think this company is personally yours?” Qiao Xue said coldly.

”It basically is like my own. Don’t worry, even if I take time off, I won’t fall behind on my work. I can guarantee that our performance will double this month.” Lin Chen said confidently.

”Do you think you alone can double the company’s performance?” Qiao Xue looked at Lin Chen with disbelief.

”Of course, if I can’t, I’ll tell Grandpa I’m unworthy of you and annul the engagement.” Lin Chen declared.

”Alright, you said it. How many days do you want?” Qiao Xue nodded.

”A week.” Lin Chen smiled awkwardly.

”You really dare, don’t you? Fine, I’ll grant it to you, but remember your own words. If by the end of the month the company’s performance hasn’t doubled, pack your things and go.” Qiao Xue said coldly.

Lin Chen nodded, ”It’s a deal.”

Qiao Xue stood up, rubbed her neck, showing a look of slight pain.

Lin Chen noticed and chuckled, ”Is your neck acting up? Let me give you a massage!”

”You know how to massage?” Qiao Xue glanced at Lin Chen.

”Of course, I studied Chinese medicine. After my massage, you’ll feel refreshed and rejuvenated.” Lin Chen looked at Qiao Xue with a smile.

Lately, due to intense work, Qiao Xue’s neck was indeed a bit sore. Hearing Lin Chen’s words, she skeptically agreed, ”Alright, let’s hope you’re not boasting.”

Qiao Xue sat on the sofa and closed her eyes.

Lin Chen’s hand gently pressed on Qiao Xue’s collarbone, and a cool sensation instantly spread through her body.

”What a comfortable feeling.” Qiao Xue was instantly amazed.
