“Qiao Shi came again just now? Is it still about your mother?” Qin Yang entered the door with ease and asked Qiao Nian. 

“Yes.” Qiao Nian didn’t want to say much about her mother’s matter, but she thought of Claude’s suggestion just now, after hesitating for a while, she still asked, “Can I borrow some money from you? I’ll pay you back with interest. I should be able to return it to you in a month.” 

Qiao Nian was a little embarrassed. She had never asked anyone to lend her money, but for the sake of her mother’s safety, she had no choice but to put down her pride. 

“What kind of money?” Qin Yang looked at Qiao Nian with amusement. “How much do you want? I’ll just give it to you directly. Just treat it as paying for Dr. Celeste to treat Qin Geng’s illness.” 

Hearing Qin Yang’s words, Qiao Nian couldn’t help but wonder silently. She looked at Qin Yang sharply. Did he know something? 

Qin Yang looked back at Qiao Nian with a smile on his face, he said, “A funny thing happened today. My childhood friend in F Nation sent me a photo of Dr. Celeste’ back when she was undergoing surgery. Although she was fully wrapped up, the photo looked very familiar to me!” 

Qin Yang paused and said, “Qiao Nian, you are not the last disciple of Dr. Celeste at all. You are Dr. Celeste himself, right?” 

“Nonsense!” Qiao Nian was alarmed. 

“You know best whether I am talking nonsense or not. Qiao Nian, don’t treat me like a fool. Your sidekick, Claude, as the only representative of Dr. Celeste, has been in China for so long. Other than eating and drinking at my house, he has only come into contact with you. And he usually obeys your every word. Qiao Nian, do you think I still can’t see it?” 

Qin Yang’s tone softened as he said, “Qiao Nian, I hope that we can be more honest with each other. I’ll give you the Eleventh Building. I’ll help you look into your mother’s matter and inject capital into Jiang’s pharmaceuticals without even asking. Qiao Nian, are you really not aware of my feelings at all?” 

Qin Yang’s confession was forceful and intense. “You should also know that I’ve always been a person with morals. Other than Geng’s mother, I have never been with another woman. Qiao Nian, there is no point in criticizing your fake identity anymore. Qin Geng has never seen his mother since he was born. He likes you so much. Do you have the heart to use the excuse of contacting Dr. Celeste to delay the surgery?” 

“I did not delay it! I have already pre-treated Geng before the surgery. He is not in danger now, but the indications of needing the surgery are not obvious yet. We need to wait for a while more!” Speaking of Geng, Qiao Nian immediately became anxious. 

“Look! You admitted it, you’re Dr. Celeste!” He caught the loophole in Qiao Nian’s words! Qin Yang looked at her and smiled slyly. 

“You! You rascal! I didn’t admit it.” Qiao Nian was angry and embarrassed. 

“It doesn’t matter whether you admitted it or not.” Qin Yang happily pulled Qiao Nian into his arms and held her tightly in his embrace. He kissed her forcefully and domineeringly. 

It was an aggressive kiss. Qiao Nian struggled desperately, but Qin Yang’s embrace was tight, and she was locked in it. She fought valiantly to no avail. 

The kiss was long, and he kissed her until her brain was deprived of oxygen. She could not breathe, and she was in a daze. In the end, her body actually felt a numbness. The numbness caused her body to respond involuntarily and lean into Qin Yang. 

“Oh, my God!” Claud, who was downstairs looking for food, happened to see this kiss. 

“Qiao Nian, you also said that the two of you are not in a relationship. You are already kissing like this! I can’t believe it!” 

Hearing Claud’s words, Qin Yang finally let go of Qiao Nian. Qiao Nian was able to catch her breath, but now she was so embarrassed that her face turned red, and she almost cried. 

Seeing this, Qin Yang’s heart ached, and he glared fiercely at Claud. 

Claud said, “Oh, I understand! Usually at these times, women are very shy! That’s what the books say. I will leave now.” 

Claud then ran to the kitchen. He could already smell the aroma of chestnut cake coming from the kitchen. 

After Claud left, Qiao Nian finally came back to her senses. She kicked Qin Yang’s calf and cried like a child..
