Assistant Lin stood outside the car and swiftly approached the moment he saw An Yin.

"Miss An!" His tone was respectful, exuding a sense of solemnity.

An Yin listened to Assistant Lin’s address, feeling constantly uncomfortable, especially in front of her roommate. She hurriedly nodded towards him.

Assistant Lin opened the backseat car door, "Miss An, please get in."

An Yin shyly lowered her head and climbed into the car.

At the same time, Assistant Lin nodded towards Shi Qing, "This way, please!" As he spoke, he opened the front passenger door.

"Thank you." Shi Qing said as she bent down to get in the car, the driver’s intentions were clear; someone was already in the backseat who wanted to sit with An Yin.

As An Yin lifted her foot into the car, she saw the man’s profile. Her movement stiffened, and after slowly settling in, she managed to say, "Hello, Bao Shaojin!"

When the young girl called the man’s name, her voice was gentle and soft, akin to a midnight whisper, inadvertently sparking boundless imagination, yet she remained completely unaware.

The overly formal attitude of the young girl in greeting made everyone in the car tense slightly.

Shi Qing turned her head indifferently, looking at the man in the backseat, trying her best to ignore the aura of authority emanating from him, "Mr. Bao, sorry to trouble you again!"

Bao Shaojin, beneath a pair of dark, sword-like eyebrows, had eyes as deep and cold as a chilling pool. He didn’t look at anyone present, his eyes wandering, "Mm."

He responded with a sound, but it was unclear whether it was to An Yin’s formality or Shi Qing’s greeting.

The car quickly started, speeding down the wide asphalt road.

An Yin kept her head down, remembering there was something she needed to ask him. She turned her head to look at the man’s cold profile, "How much were the medical expenses from last time I was hospitalized? I’ll transfer it to you."

Bao Shaojin replied at a leisurely pace, "One thousand."

"How is that possible? I’m not stupid." An Yin blurted out her thoughts.

After she said that, the car fell into a deathly silence.

"Not stupid? I wouldn’t be so sure." A sharp look flashed across Bao Shaojin’s brows.

If only she used her brain a bit, she could discern his intentions!

"You scoundrel..." An Yin almost swore, but upon seeing Shi Qing in the front seat, she quickly shut her mouth.

She needed something from him now and could only swallow the man’s sarcasm.

An Yin’s unfinished words made Assistant Lin instantly break into a sweat. In his mind, no one had ever dared to scold Mr. Bao.

Shi Qing’s mind was entirely on the text message. When she got in the car, she had texted the other party, wanting to inquire about his physical characteristics. After all, in such a place where people come and go so frequently, on what grounds could she determine that the person was her sister’s boyfriend?

At this moment, she was lost in thought.

After the car drove a bit further, An Yin could no longer hold back, her cheeks puffed up angrily as she looked at the man, "Bao Shaojin, how much did it really cost? Please tell me."

"It’s truly only one thousand. That hospital is owned by a relative of mine, and the meds you used were all cheap." Bao Shaojin spoke seriously, his eyelids not even lifting.

However, after he spoke, Assistant Lin in the front displayed a slightly complex expression.

"Really?" An Yin thought of her hospital stay environment, the caregivers, the three meals...

When she showed a half-believing demeanor, she was already more than half-convinced. Bao Shaojin, being a master at negotiation, easily controlled the situation.

"I’m a businessman; I wouldn’t do a losing deal." Bao Shaojin spoke coldly and unemotionally.

An Yin’s eyes fluttered, she seriously contemplated for three seconds, then nodded solemnly, "I’ll transfer you 1200 now; the extra two hundred can be for a meal treat."

Upon finishing her words, the young lady took out her phone, intending to transfer the money.

Assistant Lin’s mouth twitched. Two hundred bucks to treat Mr. Bao to a meal? That’s not even enough for a tip! Yet Miss An spoke with quite some confidence.

Assistant Lin began to anticipate Mr. Bao’s response.

"Transfer a thousand, and if you really want to show sincerity, treat me personally." Bao Shaojin’s thin lips parted slightly.

The man wore a pristine white shirt, highlighting his clean and neat appearance. The smooth and flowing fabric naturally displayed his extraordinary demeanor.

An Yin looked at the amount she had entered, and eventually changed it to 1000. Although the man seemed fierce, he had taken good care of her during her illness, and just for that, she ought to treat him to a meal.

"Alright!"

After An Yin agreed, Bao Shaojin glanced out at the night, his eyes seeming to catch a layer of brightness.

Assistant Lin thought: Cunning fox, oh cunning old fox! Miss An doesn’t seem too sharp; with time, wouldn’t she be infatuated by Mr. Bao... No, no, no, Miss An is still Bao Cheng’s girlfriend, right? Mr. Bao’s moral boundary is still struggling, he must stand by Mr. Bao’s side and hold the line!

He absolutely refused to support any romantic notion between Mr. Bao and Miss An!

"We’ve arrived. Click accept payment." An Yin, after sending it, reminded the man beside her.

Initially, Bao Shaojin wasn’t inclined to move over just a mere thousand yuan, but catching sight of the nervous little girl, he eventually picked up the phone, opened the WeChat interface, and accepted the payment.

The moment the man accepted the payment, An Yin felt a big weight lift off her shoulders. Owing money to someone was a terrible feeling.

"So, when should I treat you to a meal?"

For the first time, Bao Shaojin found someone inviting him to a meal rather interesting.

"Tonight won’t do." It was already past dinnertime. An Yin carefully pondered and then said, "How about next Saturday?"

"Alright, then I’ll have someone pick you up." Bao Shaojin’s eyes were deep and profound, resembling a frigid, bottomless pool, exuding a sense of aloof mystery.

"No need." An Yin quickly refused.

Her hurried response gave off the impression that she wanted to draw a clear line between them, even though no relationship existed between them to begin with.

Bao Shaojin remained silent.

Seeing that he didn’t say anything, An Yin assumed his agreement, feeling increasingly relieved in her heart.

Previously, the school’s gossip about her riding in a luxury car had caused her quite the trouble, and now it was finally resolved.

She turned her head to look at the man.

Sitting close to each other, the contours of the man’s face were striking and deep, sharp and angled like something carved by a chisel, creating an impression of steadiness and calm.

An Yin’s gaze became more and more focused.

Until the man turned his head.

Their eyes met.

Their breaths mingled, even the air seemed to carry traces of each other’s scent.

At this moment, An Yin could feel her heart pounding uncontrollably, making her feel anxious and uneasy.

Previously, when facing this man, she felt mostly fear and apprehension, but after a few encounters, seeing him this way stirred unexpected emotions within her, both repellent and unsettling.

Bao Shaojin noticed the young girl’s expression, sometimes troubled, sometimes deep in thought, and chose not to interrupt her.

The young girl’s slender brows, gently curved like distant mountains, her slightly rosy lips, and eyes as bright as stars, accentuated her delicate and beautiful demeanor.
