Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin: ”...”

She thought he was a gentleman, but she didn’t expect him to be so shameless.

The surgery lasted from noon until late at night, finally reaching completion.

Xiangxiang’s vital signs were restored, numerous tubes still connected to her, but her eyes remained tightly closed, not yet awakened.

Nalan Ye Jue felt sorry for Qin Xin, whose eyes were slightly swollen: ”Darling, the surgery was very successful, you should rest now. If the attending doctor doesn’t rest well, the patient’s recovery will also be affected, hmm?”

Qin Xin finished the final stitching on Xiangxiang’s hand, placing down the surgical clamps, and frowned: ”I can’t say it was successful yet. This is my first time performing surgery on a robot, earlier her chest cavity still had some undamaged chips, I’m not sure what impact that could have on her.”

Nalan Ye Jue comforted her: ”The artificial lung and heart are in use, maintaining her life isn’t a problem. If you’re still worried, leave it to me next. After all, I devised the termination protocols for real-life human experiments back then, I have some understanding of them.”

Seeing Nalan Ye Jue preparing to stay up all night researching Xiangxiang’s chip, this time Qin Xin disagreed: ”No, you can’t work long hours sitting in a wheelchair. You need rest. Let’s talk tomorrow.”

Nalan Ye Jue insisted: ”Unless you rest with me.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Under Nalan Ye Jue’s insistence, Qin Xin finally changed clothes and left the operating room.

As they walked out, all the staff respectfully saw them off.

Qin Xin got into the car, suddenly remembering: ”Oh no, we promised to watch Xiao Shuang’s school sports event rehearsal this afternoon.”

Nalan Ye Jue: ”I told Xiao Shuang, there was a meeting today, we’ll go together for the official event in a few days.”

Qin Xin sighed in relief: ”Hmm.”

Thankfully, the man thought things through.

On the way, she fell asleep, her little head resting on Nalan Ye Jue’s shoulder.

When getting out of the car, he carried her into Xinghe Bay Villa.

As she was placed on the bed, she groggily woke a bit: ”I think I have one more thing to do today...”

Nalan Ye Jue calmly: ”Sleep. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Qin Xin: ”Did I promise to discuss divorce with you tonight...”

Nalan Ye Jue: ”Darling, from now on, in front of others, remember to call me brother. Also, tomorrow morning you have classes to attend. It’s Lan Qingxin’s class, don’t forget. Sleep tight.”

Qin Xin: ”...Oh.”

Half-asleep, she fell asleep again.

Seeing she truly fell into a deep sleep this time, Nalan Ye Jue sighed in relief, leaned in and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Gazing at the starlit night through the window, he fell into deep thought: What force is targeting his woman?

Not to capture, but to kill her, such a decisive act.

What good does it do them to destroy her?

What are they truly seeking?

Golden Diamond Corridor, staircase.

Xiao Bailu initially leaned against the wall, heartbroken, then simply sat on the steps.

Big tear drops uncontrollably streamed down her face.

She realized, Huo Tingzun truly forgot about her, not sparing any thoughts on her.

”How can you, how can you forget so completely... sob...”

Not sure how long she cried.

On the upper level of the stairs, a man’s footsteps halted halfway.

Huo Tingzun was downstairs entertaining guests.

Against all odds, he stepped out partway and headed directly to the eighth floor.

The eighth-floor French restaurant, he was familiar with, upon arrival immediately inquired about Xiao Bailu’s guest room.

However, the room was already empty.

Frowning, he searched along the way, his footsteps seemingly guided by an invisible force, heading towards the staircase.
