Chapter 270: Want to Kiss

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Little one, don’t tempt me. Your big brother isn’t as upright as you think.” The low, husky tone faintly revealed the man’s restraint.

Even without looking into Qin Lu’s eyes, she could feel the aggression in his gaze.

Nan Yan was known for her boldness and shyness.

She had originally intended to playfully tease Qin Lu, to see the cold and indifferent look on his face, but the result…

Every time, she ended up teasing herself.

She gritted her teeth, suppressed the fluttering in her heart, and with an innocent look, Nan Yan said, “Big brother, I’m going to take a shower.”

Qin Lu, still maintaining his original demeanor, teased in a nonchalant tone, “Hmm, want big brother to help you undress?”

“No need!”

Without a second thought, Nan Yan promptly declined, then pushed him away, her face flushed with a touch of panic.

Once Nan Yan had rushed into the bathroom, Qin Lu leaned against the wall, helplessly pinching his brow.

The next moment, he turned and headed to another room, calmly and composedly preparing to take a cold shower.

After soaking in a hot bath for half an hour, Nan Yan felt completely at ease.

The discomfort from motion sickness had completely disappeared.

After rinsing herself off in the shower, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and left the bathroom.

Using a towel to dry her hair, she loosened the bathrobe, about to change her clothes when there was a sudden knock on the door.

“Nan Yan, can your big brother come in?” Qin Lu asked.

Nan Yan paused for a moment, then hastily wrapped her bathrobe back up, concealing herself.

She glanced at her clothes laid out on the bed, and decided to simply cover herself with a blanket.

After ensuring there were no issues, she went to open the door.

“Big brother, what’s up?” Nan Yan leaned lazily against the door frame, her arms crossed, and with a playful glint in her peach-blossom eyes, she smiled at Qin Lu.

There was no avoiding it; she wasn’t wearing her undergarments, and putting her hands down would reveal her shape.

Qin Lu’s gaze fell on the young girl’s rosy, steam-kissed face. He casually handed her a small incense burner.

“Sleep-inducing incense. You can take a nap here, and when you wake up, we’ll head back to Jin City.”

Nan Yan quickly took the small incense burner and shielded her chest. “Got it.”

Qin Lu’s eyes twinkled with a deeper amusement as he gently advised, “Rest well. ”

Without waiting for Nan Yan to say much, he turned and left.

Nan Yan closed the door and walked back to the bed, holding the small incense burner.

Inside, the incense had already been thoughtfully lit by Qin Lu, and a faint fragrance wafted gently from the burner.

Since there was no hurry to return, she thought a nap would be nice.

Over two hours later, Nan Yan got up from the soft, large bed and changed her clothes.

She then picked up her phone from the bedside.

During her sleep, she had set her phone to silent mode.

There weren’t many messages for her, just one from the headmaster asking when she would be back, and a couple from Shen Junqing and An Xiran inquiring about her exam results.

Nan Yan replied to each of them with a message and changed her clothes before going outside to find Qin Lu.

During the time she was asleep, Qin Lu had been in the living room of the presidential suite attending a video conference.

When she opened the door and stepped out, she immediately noticed him in a bad mood.

His cold demeanor, along with his imposing aura that needed no anger to be intimidating, made her hesitate in the doorway, wondering whether to wait a bit longer before going out or to return to her room and come back after Qin Lu finished his meeting.

Just as she was hesitating, Qin Lu had already noticed her coming out.

He then toned down his presence a bit and spoke coldly, “For now, if by tomorrow you can’t come up with a definite solution, you can go to the HR department and submit your resignation.”

After saying this, he reached over and turned off the laptop screen, unilaterally ending the meeting.

“Little one, come over.”

His tone was warm and natural, a stark contrast to the icy tone from just a moment ago.

Nan Yan gave up her hesitation and walked over to him.

“Have something to eat first.”

Nan Yan didn’t stand on ceremony either. She picked up a slice of watermelon and sat down on the sofa, eating it leisurely.

“Still feeling unwell?”

After finishing the watermelon, Nan Yan picked up a slice of pineapple, but she didn’t go for more fruit after finishing it.

She tossed the disposable fruit fork she had used into the trash bin, then leaned back against the sofa and asked, “Brother, when are we going back?” “There’s nothing else to do here, so we can leave now,” Qin Lu replied. Taking a bite of the red melon, he chuckled, “Is Yanyan in a hurry to go back?”

With red fruit juice staining his lips, they looked as if they were coated in rouge, moist and enticing.

Want to kiss…

Nan Yan calmly shifted her gaze away from his lips, her eyelids half-lowered. “There’s nothing to do here, so it’s better to go back.”

“Alright.”

Qin Lu, just like her, had a slice of watermelon and a piece of pineapple. He then stood up, grabbed the laptop from the table, and extended his hand to her.

“Let’s go back.”

Nan Yan looked at the hand he offered without much thought and placed her own on top of it.

With his help, she stood up.

By the time they returned to Jin City, it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

At this time, there was no need to go to school, so Nan Yan made a trip to the First Hospital.

She got a prescription and handed it to Tao Qingming.

“The patient should arrive in three days. I’ll notify you of the exact time when the time comes,” the patient who was in contact with the Dark Realm told her. The patient’s condition had stabilized considerably and was now ready for transport.

Since she had given him medication that would last for only three more days, they scheduled the patient’s arrival for three days later.

“Alright,” Elder Tao nodded with a smile. “The traditional Chinese medicines you need are available in the pharmacy, and I’ll have them prepared right away.”

Nan Yan replied calmly, “No rush, we still have three days.”

“Alright, we’ll be ready before the patient arrives.”

“By the way, Nan Yan, the hospital has recently admitted a patient with advanced lung cancer, but her condition is rather unique. The higher-ups are hoping that even if we can’t save her life, we can at least minimize her pain.

However, her body is resistant to even the most potent anesthetics. Do you have any ideas?”

Nan Yan had initially intended to leave, but upon hearing this from Tao Qingming, she spoke up, “I’ll go take a look.”

Tao Qingming immediately led Nan Yan to the inpatient department.

The patient was staying in a high-end VIP ward, an elderly woman approaching seventy years old. The ravages of cancer had left her extremely emaciated, resembling little more than a skeletal frame draped with a layer of skin. Her haggard appearance couldn’t help but evoke a sense of sympathy.

Just before their arrival, the patient had taken medication and had drifted off into a drowsy sleep.

Tao Qingming spoke softly, “She’s a senior researcher at the national laboratory and has made significant contributions to the country and society. Her cancer, caused by prolonged exposure to radiation, led to mutations. It was detected in the early stages but has remained untreatable.”

With the family’s consent, Nan Yan examined the elderly woman’s pulse.

“It’s too late,” Nan Yan gently lowered her hand. “The cancer cells have already metastasized, and there’s no way to eradicate them now.”

“Do you have a way to save my mother?”
