Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 435: Chapter 435: Did She Hurt His Feelings by Turning Him Down?

Nalan Ye Jue nodded slightly, ”I’ve heard about it. There’s a famous academic paper in the medical community recently, focusing on BMP research. However, my leg injury has been around for so many years, I’m afraid it’s beyond medical help.

Qin Xin restrained her strong curiosity, refraining from asking further about what happened years ago that caused such a strong and powerful man to lose such an important part of his body.

It turns out he wasn’t born with a leg ailment; there was a reason.

The two chatted lightly all the way as they made their way to the parking lot.

Nalan Ye Jue maintained an impeccable gentlemanly demeanor, opening the car door for her before walking around to the driver’s seat.

He drove very steadily, expertly controlling the direction while continuing to chat with Qin Xin, ”Any plans for winter break? Thinking about taking a vacation?”

Qin Xin: ”I’m going to A Continent.”

Nalan Ye Jue: ”A Continent?”

Qin Xin wasn’t reserved at all. After all, ”Racer Xi He” had already been discovered by this man, so she simply told the truth, ”Zhou Yu’s foot injury is unstable, I’m competing in his place.”

The first F1 race this year is in the Empire, and the second is in A Continent.

The competition is points-based, if one misses the second race, even winning the first won’t lead to a chance at the year’s overall championship.

Winning first in every race throughout is required for the overall yearly championship.

Nalan Ye Jue: ”The competition time seems to be right around the Empire’s New Year’s Eve?”

Qin Xin nodded.

Nalan Ye Jue: ”Then aren’t you going back to have New Year’s Eve dinner with the Qin Family?”

Qin Xin: ”We’ll see.”

In the Qin Family, aside from Xiao Shuang, is there anyone else who cares whether she has dinner on New Year’s Eve?

Nalan Ye Jue thought for a moment, and invited her, ”Perhaps, consider having New Year’s Eve dinner at the Nalan Family?”

Qin Xin didn’t think twice before refusing directly: ”No, I don’t like crowded places.”

Nalan Ye Jue wanted to say, what if it’s just the two of us?

But he was unsure, perhaps the next thing she might say is, ”I don’t like places that are too empty and cold.”

Don’t push her too hard.

He gripped the steering wheel, and while waiting at the red light, his gaze swept fleetingly past her.

＝＝

That night.

Nalan Ye Jue closed his eyes lying on the bed, feeling something was amiss.

He sat up, supported himself, and glanced at his knee.

A dense rash had emerged at some point.

He’s allergic to artificial joints, naturally also allergic to auxiliary prosthetics.

This was to be expected.

But he never thought it would be this severe.

The supporting steel, due to large dance movements, not using automatic cruise and driving himself, deeply embedded into the muscle, leaving a deep mark.

These red rashes were exceptionally fierce.

Nalan Ye Jue closed his eyes.

When he reopened them, he glanced at the sleeping Qin Xin beside him.

He carefully, very lightly, turned over and got out of bed, wheeled himself downstairs.

He made a phone call.

Then he flipped Xiao Shuang’s textbook, marking a few key points for the final exam, and placed it at Xiao Shuang’s bedside.

Only then did he leave.

Lu Yi was anxiously waiting in the car outside. Helping him into the car, he said nervously, ”Young Master, the allergic reaction is so severe, might surgery be necessary this time? What if you’re also allergic to the surgical knife...”

Nalan Ye Jue remained calm as usual: ”Let the doctors decide.”

Pausing, he added: ”Remember to prepare breakfast for her tomorrow.”

On the man’s face, there was a calm that did not falter even if Mount Tai were to collapse before him.

＝＝

Qin Xin rarely slept until morning.

Having not dreamt about being bullied in the bathtub by the man, it was quite refreshing!

But waking up early, she found Mr. Nalan was missing.

Usually, he would take her to school.

Could it be because...

Because she refused to spend New Year’s Eve with him last night, she wounded his heart, made him angry?
