Helping My Ex-Wife Find Love Every Day - Chapter 55

Ji Ping Han was a ruthless character who had weathered the commercial seas and would not be content to be led by the nose by Yao Xiang Yi. She ignored Yao Xiang Yi’s suggestion and motioned for her driver to come over.

“Take Miss Bai away.”

The driver followed her command, opened the front passenger door, and moved to help Bai Meng Zhao out.

Tang Si Li was still in the car, and she couldn’t let the driver take Bai Meng Zhao away. She pulled Bai Meng Zhao’s wrist, glared at the driver, and then looked at Yao Xiang Yi, seeming to ask for her decision.

Qiu Qing Shi also moved a step, blocking the driver’s path, her attitude firm.

The driver, however, was unfazed and looked back at Ji Ping Han.

In the current situation, Yao Xiang Yi had the upper hand with greater numbers. She asked with an air of composure, “What is the meaning of this, Boss Ji? Are you trying to steal her?”

Ji Ping Han naturally counterattacked: “Miss Bai is an artist under my Tian Ji. I ask CEO Yao not to poke her nose into unnecessary business.”

Unnecessary business?

Qiu Qing Shi scoffed internally, She climbed into my Boss’s (Bàba’s) bed—and you call that unnecessary business?

Afraid that Qiu Qing Shi would lash out, Yao Xiang Yi offered a compromise: “Since we are equally concerned about Miss Bai, why don’t we all send her to the hospital together?”

Ji Ping Han was direct: “There’s no need for such a commotion. I will take Miss Bai to my home. My private doctor is already waiting there.”

Yao Xiang Yi’s expression instantly changed, and she said strongly, “No, she must be sent to the hospital.”

Sending a drugged female artist into Ji Ping Han’s home would undoubtedly create an opportunity for Ji Ping Han to carry out a ‘unspoken rule’ offense.

If something truly happened to Bai Meng Zhao, they would become accomplices.

The most critical factor was that it could disrupt the original plot.

Yao Xiang Yi’s resistance to the system was ongoing and silent, and she didn’t want any unexpected complications.

Like the butterfly effect, the tiny flap of a butterfly’s wing could stir up a tornado through a series of chain reactions.

Yao Xiang Yi did not want to see everything spin out of control.

Without waiting for Ji Ping Han to reply, she gave the driver a dangerous, sidelong look. She placed one hand on the passenger car door, gently pushed, and closed the door again.

No matter how audacious the driver was, he dared not provoke her and retreated behind Ji Ping Han.

Tang Si Li got out of the car knowingly and ceded the driver’s seat to Yao Xiang Yi: “I’m worried Gu Yuan (Chi Gu Yuan) can’t manage alone, so I’m going back to help.”

Yao Xiang Yi said, “Go ahead.”

Qiu Qing Shi got into the back seat. As the car started, she deliberately and casually looked through the window at Tang Si Li, who was watching them leave.

Tang Si Li caught her gaze in her peripheral vision and instinctively looked away, seemingly afraid of being discovered. Then she twisted her face back, blinking her eyes until her gaze cleared, and waved at Qiu Qing Shi.

This caught Qiu Qing Shi off guard. She pulled the corner of her mouth slightly, returning a smile.

The car drove along the mountain road, out past the high walls and gate of the half-mountain villa.

Ji Ping Han’s Mercedes-Benz Sprinter followed closely behind.

Upon reaching the hospital, Yao Xiang Yi parked the car, walked around the front, and tried to help Bai Meng Zhao out.

Qiu Qing Shi, anticipating this move, seized the opportunity first. She helped Bai Meng Zhao and led her into the emergency room on the first floor.

Yao Xiang Yi was glad for the chance and called the Innocent Loli.

Innocent Loli: 【Dear, the two original female leads interacted multiple times tonight, accumulating 5 new sweetness points. Keep up the good work!】

This was the first time Yao Xiang Yi felt the accumulation of sweetness points was so easy. She clicked her tongue, forming a daring idea.

The emergency room nurse was pleasantly surprised by Qiu Qing Shi’s “grand arrival”; her medical cart nearly rolled away.

A transport stretcher was parked against the wall. Qiu Qing Shi helped Bai Meng Zhao lie down on it.

The nurse, with excellent professional quality, rushed into the next room to call a doctor.

Qiu Qing Shi explained Bai Meng Zhao’s “symptoms.” The doctor’s expression changed slightly, clearly indicating that such cases were rare.

He spoke a few words, and together with the nurse, they pushed the stretcher and took Bai Meng Zhao into the consultation room.

The consultation room was crowded with many hospital beds, doctors, and nurses weaving through, along with anxious family members.

A crowded place was unsuitable for Qiu Qing Shi. She put on a mask and found a seat on a long bench in the hall.

She suddenly saw Ji Ping Han there, sitting in the second row. Qiu Qing Shi was in the third row, no more than a meter away.

Annoyed, she moved to the fourth row.

Yao Xiang Yi followed her out, nodded to Ji Ping Han, walked to Qiu Qing Shi, and the moment she sat down next to her, she placed her hand on Qiu Qing Shi’s thigh and squeezed it.

Qiu Qing Shi hit the back of her hand and chided, “We’re in a hospital. Stop groping around.”

Yao Xiang Yi was beautiful, with a pure and clear demeanor, but when she acted like a scoundrel, she radiated an ethereal charm. She declared her sovereignty: “In the future, you are only allowed to wear qipao at home, just for me.”

Qiu Qing Shi’s figure was graceful. When she wore a qipao, she was elegant and delicate, like a fox spirit; who could resist her?

Qiu Qing Shi interlaced her fingers with Yao Xiang Yi’s: “What if I take a role in a Republican-era drama?”

“Do. Not. Take. It.”

Qiu Qing Shi said, as if deliberately trying to provoke her: “I will! Not only will I take it, but I’ll also ask the director to add kissing scenes.”

Every time she took a role, Yao Xiang Yi would ask the director and screenwriter to delete intimate scenes. If they absolutely couldn’t be deleted, they had to be filmed using camera trickery.

Which production crew dared to provoke the Yao family? They accepted Yao Xiang Yi’s requests without question.

Afterward, it became a rule in the industry that any script inviting Qiu Qing Shi to act would have all sensitive scenes deleted before being submitted to Jing Hong Entertainment.

Yao Xiang Yi didn’t like such jokes. A warning flashed in her eyes, daring Qiu Qing Shi to say it again.

Though Qiu Qing Shi was spoiled, that was only when Boss Yao was willing to pamper her. The moment Boss Yao stopped pampering her, she immediately turned into a soft, gentle kitten, using her fluffy paws to gently scratch Boss Yao’s pretty face.

Her voice was soft and drawn out: “Boss (Bàba), I was just joking.”

Yao Xiang Yi responded with a cold, “Oh.”

Qiu Qing Shi could only apologize with her beauty. She moved a few inches, her shoulder pressed tightly against Yao Xiang Yi’s, and subtly shook her leg: “Boss (Bàba), you can touch me now.”

Yao Xiang Yi refused her kind offer.

Qiu Qing Shi glanced around, making sure no one was paying attention to them, then secretly lifted the hem of her qipao just a tiny bit, whispering in a breathy voice, “Boss (Bàba), reach in and touch.”

Yao Xiang Yi was tempted.

The fatigue accumulated from her busy work schedule vanished instantly.

Her face clearly read, “It wouldn’t be you, my little darling, if you didn’t do this.”

Qiu Qing Shi narrowed her eyes and smiled. A thin layer of pink spread across her blindingly white swan neck, her eyes showing a slight shyness and… embarrassment.

Speaking of which, she and Yao Xiang Yi had known each other since childhood and had been in a relationship since she was eighteen. Their most embarrassing intimate moment was seven years ago on the day of Lichun (Beginning of Spring).

She was nineteen then, a freshman, not yet a popular star, so she didn’t have much work and spent all her time with Yao Xiang Yi.

Lichun was a Friday. She went to Yao Xiang Yi’s university to pick her up for dinner.

Yao Xiang Yi wanted to spend more time with her and took her back to the Yao family’s old residence. The old man was still in charge then, out for a business dinner, so there were only a few servants in the house.

As if by a silent, telepathic agreement, their relationship was destined to advance that night. Qiu Qing Shi initiated a kiss with Yao Xiang Yi in the bedroom.

They had kissed many times before this.

But this time, it was like a fire had been lit.

Yao Xiang Yi touched her, and she didn’t refuse. Thus, everything that should and shouldn’t happen, happened.

The taste of tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time was the most embarrassing.

As the days passed, her personality matured greatly, and such embarrassing moments became extremely rare.

But now, here was one.

Yao Xiang Yi was an adult. How could she resist such temptation? To be safe, she took off her knitted cardigan and placed it over Qiu Qing Shi’s legs as a cover, then boldly extended her “wicked hand.”

Qiu Qing Shi suddenly called a halt: “Let’s agree first, just one tiny touch.”

Yao Xiang Yi disagreed. It would be midnight soon. After all the trouble tonight, the car vibration was completely ruined. Wasn’t it fair to ask for a little more compensation?

She asked seriously, as if discussing a multi-million dollar business deal: “How long is one tiny touch?”

Qiu Qing Shi actually thought for a moment: “Ten seconds.”

Yao Xiang Yi: “Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”

Qiu Qing Shi widened her eyes, acting cute.

She was subtly telling Yao Xiang Yi not to bargain.

Yao Xiang Yi’s bad temper flared immediately. She withdrew her hand and snapped, “I won’t touch you!”

Finally, she added: “Return all my bank cards, yachts, and planes.”

“No way~” Qiu Qing Shi clung to her neck, resting on her chest. “I promised to take my girlfriends out to sea, so you can’t take the yacht back. Boss (Bàba), I was wrong. How about one minute?”

“Am I begging for scraps?”

Yao Xiang Yi grumbled in disdain about the drawn-out negotiation for a mere touch: “No touching, no touching, definitely no touching.”

Qiu Qing Shi quickly changed her mind: “Boss, you can touch me for as long as you want.”

That’s more like it.

Yao Xiang Yi straightened her back. Her hand, hidden by the knitted cardigan, slipped into the corner of Qiu Qing Shi’s qipao.

Fearing censorship, she had “no” further desire. Her heart was calm and undisturbed. She began to discuss serious matters with Qiu Qing Shi: “Darling, I need to discuss something with you.”

Qiu Qing Shi rolled her eyes.

See? This is what women are like.

When you don’t let her touch, she confiscates your yacht. When you let her touch, she sweetly calls you “darling.”

Qiu Qing Shi endured it for the sake of the yacht: “Company business?”

Yao Xiang Yi paused: “…Yes.”

Jing Hong’s matters were always handled by Yao Xiang Yi. Qiu Qing Shi, as the Yao family madam, had no right to interfere. Moreover, she didn’t understand commercial operations. Running to “discuss” things out of the blue must mean something fishy was going on.

Qiu Qing Shi became wary and sized up Yao Xiang Yi: “I’m tired. I don’t want to talk about this.”

Yao Xiang Yi ignored her: “I want to sign Bai Meng Zhao… to Jing Hong Entertainment.”

The sweetness value was skyrocketing tonight, and Yao Xiang Yi naturally hoped to maintain the rate of growth. According to the original outline, her “death date” was set for the end of spring next year, which was only about nine months away.

She had to accelerate her actions.

Qiu Qing Shi was incredulous. She thought she had misheard and looked shocked, asking Yao Xiang Yi to repeat herself.

Yao Xiang Yi sympathized with her feelings and tried to reason with her: “You saw her misfortune with your own eyes. She’s so pitiful. Let’s finish the good deed and treat it as a charitable contribution.”

Does charity involve inviting a mistress into the house?

Qiu Qing Shi gave a half-smile: “Yao Xiang Yi, why don’t you just ascend to the heavens? Oh, wait, you already have!”

She pushed Yao Xiang Yi’s hand away and threw the cardigan back to her.

“Darling, I’m doing this for your sake, too—”

Here comes the ‘scum talk’ again!

Yao Xiang Yi was truly defining a new height of “scumbag.”

There’s no scummiest, only more scummiest!

Qiu Qing Shi couldn’t bear to listen anymore. She stood up and walked away.

Yao Xiang Yi chased after her, worried: “Darling, are you going home?”

Qiu Qing Shi irritably ran her hand through the hair near her ear: “No, I’m going to find you a wheelchair.”

Qiu Qing Shi: “You’ll need it after I break your dog legs!”

Qiu Qing Shi: “Hey, I remember Si Li also has a golf club in her car, right?”

Yao Xiang Yi: “?!”
