Hearing this, Qi Ye was slightly stunned, and laughed helplessly: "I'm sorry, Miss Bai, I was rude.

Just as Bai Luojin was about to retract his hand, he suddenly tightened his grip and tugged, falling into a warm embrace.

Before he could even react, the sky and earth spun, and Bai Luojin was lifted up by an arm that wrapped around his waist.

"Miss Bai, sorry for offending you."

A warm and soft laughter resounded in his ears. It was like a wisp of spring wind, gently brushing against his earlobes, tickling and stirring.

He raised his eyes and met the smiling eyes of the man before him. Although he said he was sorry, the smile on his face did not contain the slightest hint of an apology.

The star-like eyes stared fixedly at her, as if they wanted to take her completely into their eyes. They were gentle and domineering. His warm breath unconsciously sprinkled onto her neck, and Bai Luojin unconsciously pursed his lips, feeling as though a light feather had brushed past his heart.

"Qi Ye, what are you doing?!" Bai Luojin frowned, and struggled unhappily, as she shouted out in anger and embarrassment.

"Your body is still too weak, you can't run around."

Qi Ye lowered his head to glance at Bai Luojin's red cheeks, and lovingly curled his eyes. The smile on his face became even more obvious, and when he opened his mouth, he spoke gently, as if he was coaxing a disobedient child.

Carefully placing Bai Luojin on the bed, Qi Ye lovingly covered her with a blanket. Then, he moved his hand and caressed her head as if he was comforting a little kitten, and said: "Be good and rest well."

Feeling the warmth above her head, Bai Luojin squinted her eyes and coldly glared at Qi Ye. The last man who dared to hug her and touch her head was already beaten black and blue by her, so it was time for her to consider, and consider whether or not she should break the man's arm in front of her?!

Receiving Bai Luojin's cold killing intent, Qi Ye laughed helplessly, and immediately retracted his hand. He took the opportunity to grab the box on the bedside table, and with a "Pa" sound, he opened it.

"You were in such a hurry earlier. You must be looking for this, right?"

Hearing this, Bai Luojin frowned slightly, and lowered his head along with Qi Ye's arm.

Bai Luojin immediately received it and checked the jade nervously. It was really dangerous, there were no scratches. Feeling the cool touch of his palm, the stone that was hanging over his heart finally dropped.

"When you fainted, you were holding this piece of jade in your hand. I thought it must be very important to you. Just in case you accidentally touched it, I told them to put it in the box and keep it for safekeeping."

Qi Ye caringly explained, his gentle voice sounding right above Bai Luojin's head.

Bai Luojin heaved a sigh of relief, held onto the jade, and once again raised his head to meet those warm and beautiful eyes. His clear and cold voice carried a sense of awkwardness: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Qi Ye's eyes curved slightly, as if they were filled with spring water. With a slight breeze, they rippled gently.

"I've already informed Pei Chen. You can stay here to have a good rest. When you're fully recovered, I'll send you back home."

"Yes." Bai Luojin replied as she lowered her eyes. Although she did not have any expression on her face, she harrumphed in her heart: That bastard Yin Yuchen might really want her to return so that he can kiss me!

If it wasn't for her mother, she wouldn't have been able to take another step back into the Yin Family. Since she had a good reason to not go back right now, it was quite a good thing.

Thinking about it this way, Bai Luojin's attitude towards Qi Ye also became a lot more gentle. He raised his eyes, and politely said: "Then I'll be troubling you, Mr. Qi."

"You're welcome, just call me Qi Ye from now on." Qi Ye smiled, his voice still gentle.

"No need." As soon as Qi Ye finished speaking, he rejected her emotionlessly. He looked at her coldly, his voice light and distant.

Bai Luojin could feel Qi Ye's unfathomable intimacy, she would not simply believe that such a handsome young master from a rich family would have such a familiar personality, especially when faced with such an "ugly" woman like her.

She was too lazy to pursue the matter any further, nor did she have the energy to do so. Therefore, it was better to avoid the source of the problem, and not go near it.

"..." "Alright." Qi Ye obviously did not expect Bai Luojin to be cold to such an extent. She was startled for a moment, then helplessly pulled at the corner of her lips.

"Then Miss Bai should rest well, I won't disturb you any longer." After saying that, Qi Ye turned and left. When he reached the entrance, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

His expression hesitated for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth. "That, your face …"

Her face? Bai Luojin looked straight at Qi Ye who was hesitating to speak, and raised his eyebrows slightly. Could this man be so slow that he only now realized her "ugly" appearance?

However, Qi Ye did not mock her looks as Bai Luojin had imagined. Instead, he just laughed, and his expression became even more gentle: "Use less tape, it's not good for a girl's skin."

Hearing that, Bai Luojin was startled, his mind went blank for a moment, then reacted, his heart suddenly sank.

This is bad!

Bai Luojin suddenly came to his senses, although the "ugly" makeup on his face was very resistant to consumption, not afraid of being drenched by water or wiping it off, the only disadvantage was that it had a time limit.

The events of the past few days had come one after another, torturing her until she forgot about this extremely important matter!

Bai Luojin tightly stared at Qi Ye, his eyes becoming colder and colder like ice, as his body instantly went into a state of vigilance.

Qi Ye helplessly looked at Bai Luojin's vigilant expression, her mind suddenly thought of an animal. When she opened her eyes wide, she was like a vigilant little leopard, both cute and full of threat.

Qi Ye smiled lightly and shook his head. He spoke with a hint of pampering and indulgence, as if he was comforting a little animal that was on guard. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

However, Bai Luojin did not believe Qi Ye's words at all. She continued to stare at him intently as both of her hands clenched into fists, and pondered whether she should knock him out now, take him away, and feed him an amnesia pill;

"Knocking me out isn't a wise move." Seeing Bai Luojin's messy little eyes that floated near his head, Qi Ye instantly guessed what she was thinking and said with a smile.

Hearing Qi Ye's words, Bai Luojin was startled, then he frowned, looking at Qi Ye with even more vigilance.

This man was not simple. He was definitely not as gentle as he looked on the surface!
