Chapter 2426: Chapter 2426

After all, that’s how it always is in TV dramas—the bad guys can never be defeated, they always manage to bounce back again and again.

"They won’t." Duan Xi shook his head confidently.

Because the bell had been sealed by the Master, it couldn’t be burned, nor could it be discarded at will, so it was always personally guarded by him. As long as he was there, no one could touch that bell.

"Then I’m relieved. As for Jiang Xun wanting to investigate, let him. Humph, even if he finds out something, he can’t do anything." Speaking of this, Ruan Jiaojiao remembered another thing. She lifted her right leg and rolled up her pant leg, revealing the knee she hurt in a car collision, and complained to Duan Xi boldly, "Xi-ge, look, it’s all Shen Ting’s fault. He was pulling me along before and made me bump into the car seat. Now my knee hurts, my hand hurts, and my forehead hurts. Look at my forehead, isn’t it red?"

Ruan Jiaojiao had been a tattletale since childhood, a master at it, and even now, she never felt it was embarrassing to complain.

She suffered a loss at Shen Ting’s place today, she had to reclaim it.

Duan Xi looked at her knee that was bruised red and naturally felt bad for her, and even though there was no mark on her forehead and wrist, that didn’t stop him from feeling distressed.

He reached out and gently rubbed her knee, saying, "Go back and apply some medicine. I’ll help you get your revenge later."

"Hmm, make him bruise his knee too!"

"Okay." Duan Xi nodded, looking at her stubborn yet adorable manner, his eyes softened to the point of dripping water, unconsciously lowering his head to kiss her.

Ruan Jiaojiao liked his kisses and accepted them obediently.

Whispering closeness.

The atmosphere was extremely sweet.

Meanwhile, in another scene, Luo Ying got in the car furious, throwing her bag aside, while Sister Wu followed behind her, giving her a cold glance but saying nothing.

In the silence, Luo Ying spoke out in anger, "Cancelled the deal just like that, even though it’s a company. How irresponsible!"

Sister Wu sneered, "Who are you blaming? Besides, they haven’t even signed a contract with you, so how can you say it’s canceled? It’s you. Why did you go to seduce the boss when I already told you yesterday that Ruan Jiaojiao is Tianyi’s boss lady!"

"How would I know he doesn’t play by the rules!" Others were always chasing after her for unspoken rules.

"Play by the rules?" Sister Wu mocked, "Luo Ying, look at yourself. He has a girlfriend, and she’s not worse than you. Why would he choose your path??!"

Sister Wu actually wanted to say that with what you offer, there’s no way you can compare to being someone’s legitimate girlfriend, but since Luo Ying had been her artist for several years, she didn’t say it too harshly.

But Luo Ying wasn’t stupid, she could naturally hear the subtext in Sister Wu’s words.

She bit her lip tightly, watching the rapidly retreating street scene outside the window, thinking about that man’s expressionless face towards her, and then thinking about the momentary gentleness she saw in his eyes in the office earlier because of Ruan Jiaojiao, she lowered her eyelids, her hand subconsciously clutching her hem.

She wouldn’t give up just like that; a tree needs its bark, a person needs dignity. Whether it’s a person or a contract, she wants it!

She leaned back in her seat, eyes closed, not knowing if she was talking to herself or to Sister Wu beside her, "Just wait, I’ll find a way."

Sister Wu glanced at her suspiciously, "What way?"

"There’ll be one." Luo Ying thought, men, they can’t resist temptation, today she was impulsive, wrong time and place.
