Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Holding Qiaoqiao’s Long Legs Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Holding Qiaoqiao’s Long Legs Bai Yurou was vomiting and had diarrhea, already in a state of extreme weakness. Lying on the bed, her face pale and visibly sickly. Her phone rang, and with difficulty, she answered the call. “I had someone deliver medicine to you. How are you feeling after taking it?” Bai Yurou said weakly, “Throwing up and having diarrhea, I feel like I’m even throwing up bile.” “The medicine you slipped into Bai Jingting’s drink reacted with the medication already in your system. That’s why you’re feeling this terrible. I told you to drug Bai Jingting; how did it end up like this, and why did you drink the soup?” The voice on the other end was filled with questions and anger. If he hadn’t considered Bai Yurou still useful, he would have unleashed his fury on her already. Bai Yurou struggled to speak: “It’s all because of Nan Qiao. It was as if she knew I had drugged the soup, not allowing Bai Jingting to drink it, forcing me to take a sip.” Speaking of Nan Qiao filled Bai Yurou’s heart with resentment. “Nan Qiao, how is it her again? How could she possibly know what you’ve done? Yurou, you’ve become less and less efficient in handling things.” “It’s really not my fault; Nan Qiao seems to have some predictive power,” Bai Yurou said helplessly. Bai Yurou again brought up Nan Qiao’s identity as Huai Xi: “She has multiple identities. I heard she’s entangled with the Tang Family and is the designer Huai Xi. I seriously suspect she has other identities. How is the investigation by your people going? Is Nan Qiao really the true daughter of the Bai Family? She lived in that small mountain village; how could there be such hidden dragons and crouching tigers that enabled Nan Qiao to learn so many skills?” “We’ve sent people to investigate, but they haven’t found anything conclusive.” The more he thought about it, the more baffling it became. How could a person living in a small mountain village have acquired so many skills? Without guidance from a master, it was impossible for Nan Qiao to be skilled in every martial art. “Not finding any clues indicates there are many things wrong. This Nan Qiao is tough to deal with; you shouldn’t make any moves recently, wait a few days and observe the situation.” “Understood,” Bai Yurou said weakly. ... Nan Qiao had dispatched another team to look for Huo Siyu, hoping to find her soon. Sitting on a swing, Nan Qiao was in a bad mood. Gazing at the bright moonlight in the sky, her eyes were filled with sorrow. The sound of approaching footsteps caught Nan Qiao’s attention, putting her on guard. A dark figure approached, and Nan Qiao quickly stood behind a large tree. As the figure approached, Nan Qiao launched a kick. Her right leg was caught, and Nan Qiao was taken aback. “Qiaoqiao, are you trying to murder your own husband?” Nan Qiao: “...” Why was it Li Yehan? “What are you doing at our place at midnight?” Nan Qiao tried to retract her leg, but Li Yehan held on without letting go. “Li Yehan, let go of my leg right now.” She was worried about a wardrobe malfunction! Li Yehan lowered his gaze and saw Nan Qiao’s long legs. Under the bright moonlight, Nan Qiao’s legs were long, fair, and slender. A warmth kindled in Li Yehan’s eyes, but he didn’t stop and released her leg. “Why did you come?” Li Yehan stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Nan Qiao’s waist and pulled her into his lap. “I missed you, came to see you.” “Li Yehan, you’re being too casual. At midnight, I thought a burglar had broken into the house.” Nan Qiao struggled: “Let go quickly, it’s not proper to be seen like this.” Li Yehan held her tight, his gaze intense: “Shall we go to your room?” “Li Yehan, don’t be a hooligan in front of me.” Li Yehan chuckled softly: “I’m not teasing you anymore; I’m purely here to see you. Judging from where I’m staying, the light in your window has never been on. I was worried something happened to you, so I specifically came to check.” Li Yehan sometimes stayed over here, and sometimes he would return to his own home. With many houses, choosing where to live was casual. Because Nan Qiao lived here, he specially bought a house close by, just so he could see her. “Li Yehan, have you not been busy lately?” “A little busy, so I haven’t stayed over here recently. Today, after settling down, I just thought of checking on you.” Li Yehan wrapped his arms around Nan Qiao, and under the night sky, the distance between the two was very close, so close that Nan Qiao could feel the breath emanating from Li Yehan. Li Yehan had just taken a shower, and a faint fragrance of shower gel lingered on him. Even in summer, his body wasn’t particularly hot, giving a comfortable touch. Nan Qiao got up from Li Yehan’s lap, unaccustomed to speaking in such a posture. Nan Qiao sat on a chair opposite Li Yehan, her big watery eyes looking at him, “Li Yehan, it’s getting late, you should head back to sleep.” “You’re in such a hurry to get rid of me?” Nan Qiao, “It’s getting late, and I’m sleepy too.” Nan Qiao feeling sleepy meant that Li Yehan had to stand up. “I’ll watch you go upstairs, then I’ll go back.” Nan Qiao stood up and started walking. Li Yehan, with a striding gait, intercepted Nan Qiao and cupped her face, planting a deep kiss. The domineering kiss was as familiar as ever to Nan Qiao. Li Yehan’s lips traced along the jawline of Nan Qiao, moving upward, and gently kissed her forehead. Finally getting a chance to breathe, Nan Qiao blushed, her lips moist. Nan Qiao gasping, “Li Yehan, you should go back now.” Nan Qiao ran off, and Li Yehan shook his head, indulgently watching her retreating figure before hopping over the wall to leave. ... When Bai Yurou came downstairs for a meal, everyone was taken aback. Chen Xinwan looked at her in shock, “Yurou, what’s wrong? You look so pale, are you sick?” Bai Yurou forced an ugly smile, “I had a stomachache after drinking soup yesterday. Luckily, big brother didn’t drink it, otherwise he would be the one suffering.” Bai Yurou’s uncomfortable appearance was heart-wrenching. Chen Xinwan said concernedly, “Yurou, have you seen a doctor?” “Not yet, I’m feeling weak all over, and I didn’t dare let everyone know. I was afraid of disrupting the schedule. Mom, I’m fine, I’ll just lie in bed for a couple of days.” The strong Bai Yurou made even Nan Qiao want to give her a round of applause. Bai Jingting was unaware of Bai Yurou’s past actions, and seeing her in discomfort, he said concernedly, “Yurou, I’ll take you to the hospital. A discomfort in the body can be major or minor, it’s better to get treated in time.” Nan Qiao also looked at her with concern, “Sister Yurou, how about I take your pulse to check your health? You know about my medical skills. Come, let me do it.” Bai Yurou immediately withdrew her wrist, “Sister, there’s no need to trouble you. If big brother has time, he can just take me to the hospital.” Bai Jingting, “Qiaoqiao, you know medical skills?” Nan Qiao nodded, her obedient and cute demeanor making people lower their voices naturally, speaking softly to her. “I’ve studied with my master for many years, and my master is Tang Helin.” When Nan Qiao said this, the entire family was astounded. Grandpa Bai, “Tang Helin is the Sect Leader of the Tang Family.” Bai Zhenyang, “The Sect Leader of Tang seems to have taken a Closed-door Disciple, who is also the last disciple.” Chen Xinwan, “Qiaoqiao darling, is that disciple you?” Nan Qiao had never formally acknowledged this identity before, nor had she discussed it with her family. Saying so today caused a shock among everyone in the family. Especially Bai Jingting, whose scrutinizing gaze fell upon Nan Qiao.
