Chapter 611: Beauty Calls
The next morning, as a ray of sunlight streamed through the window, Xu Xiangbei awoke. He found Ding Keke leaning on the side of his bed, wearing a pink nurse uniform, her hair scattered as she lay asleep at the bedside, completely immersed in slumber.
Unwilling to disturb her, Xu Xiangbei checked his dantian first and found his True Qi had mostly recovered.
Just as he was about to get up, he noticed Ding Keke waking up. Their eyes met in the air, carrying an inexplicable meaning.
Xu Xiangbei took the initiative to break the silence, "You’ve worked hard. I’m fine."
"You, don’t be so reckless in the future," Ding Keke said softly, pointing her finger at his forehead.
Xu Xiangbei grabbed her fair and smooth fingers, gently took them into his mouth. Ding Keke felt the strange sensation, tried to withdraw her fingers, but found Xu Xiangbei’s hand was as hard as iron, no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t pull back. Her entire face suddenly turned red.
"Let go," Ding Ke’s voice was as soft as a mosquito, almost inaudible.
"What?" Xu Xiangbei’s voice was a bit loud, he laughed cheekily.
Keke shouted loudly, "Let go!" Then quickly withdrew her fingers. She knew Xu Xiangbei did it on purpose, but still, her face was somewhat red, with a rosy flush on her beautiful face, like a ripe apple.
"Thank you!" Xu Xiangbei, after a long look, said these words, his expression appearing somewhat serious and solemn.
Ding Keke’s eyes were moist, thinking: Little rascal, not in vain did this lady take care of you all night. However, this doesn’t seem like his character; has this guy changed and learned to be grateful? But then, Xu Xiangbei’s next sentence completely changed her expression.
"I will be mindful in the future. After all, I have so many wives waiting for me to cherish, especially Keke. For your care last night, what should I do? I have no choice but to offer myself." As he said this, he reached out to hug Ding Keke, but she jumped away and jokingly cursed, "Thousand-year turtle, ten-thousand-year tortoise, I see you’re a thousand-year-old undead tortoise, only causing trouble and making me worry for nothing."
"Haha..."
Xu Xiangbei and Ding Ke went to the restaurant next to the hospital to have breakfast. Then he began to ask about yesterday’s events, "By the way, what about Director Wang and Lu Qing?"
"They’re still in the detention center, but reportedly, they’ve already confessed."
"Oh, that’s expected. When I make a move, any villain will spend their life in jail."
"You’re so arrogant, but Mr. Yang did tell me, if you wake up, I should call him."
"Of course, my medical skills are unparalleled. Oh, by the way, where’s Qin Xue? Doesn’t she still owe me a kiss?"
"Really incorrigible..."
After eating, Ding Keke went to work again, while Xu Xiangbei, pondering without plans, thought of Qin Xue and drove his silver-white Porsche to the Jiangcheng Criminal Police team. But halfway there, he received a call.
"Hello, may I ask, is this Mr. Xu Xiangbei?" The voice was very sweet, definitely a woman, and somewhat familiar, but Xu Xiangbei couldn’t recall who it was for a moment.
"Beauty, may I ask who you are? I am Xu Xiangbei."
...
The phone was silent for half a minute, just as Xu Xiangbei thought this might be a prank and was about to hang up.
A weak voice was heard, "Can you do me a favor? I am Hu Qingyu"
"Oh, turns out it’s Miss Hu!"
"If you’re unwilling to help, just forget it," Hu Qingyu was very conflicted at heart. She was very annoyed by Xu Xiangbei, but now she really had no other choice, so she decided to give it a try.
"Of course willing to help. May I ask what service the beauty needs?"
"I’m now at the gate of Jinjiang University, come and pick me up,"
Xu Xiangbei turned the car around, did a 360-spin, hit the gas pedal, and hummed a song as he drove to Jinjiang University.
Across the asphalt road, from a distance, he could see the gate of Jinjiang University with ’Jinjiang University’ carved on it, and below it, ’Knowledge through exploration’; it was clear this was Jinjiang University’s motto. Beside it stood a woman in a yellow dress, with a slender figure. Seeing the silver-white Porsche driving toward her, she seemed to be waiting for someone, not paying much attention.
As he opened the car door, the moment Xu Xiangbei stepped down from the car, her gaze was excited. Xu Xiangbei had given her a business card with only his phone number and an introduction to his identity.
"Beautiful lady, I’m here. Please get in the car," Xu Xiangbei, very gentlemanly, opened the car door.
Hu Qingyu got in the car and sat next to Xu Xiangbei, slightly parted her lips, and slowly asked, "Is this your car?"
"Oh, earlier I forgot to introduce myself properly, now let’s reintroduce, I am Xu Xiangbei, President of Thunderbird Group." Xu Xiangbei extended his hand, wanting to shake hands with Hu Qingyu. Hu Qingyu lightly touched it and immediately pulled back.
"You? President?" Evidently, Hu Qingyu hadn’t heard of Thunderbird Group, but you couldn’t blame her, considering she’s been at school for a long time, and Thunderbird Group’s headquarters is in Earth Sea City, not in Jiangcheng.
But, if someone had been in business or worked at many companies, they should have heard of the group’s name.
"Authentic, no substitutes. They say that when a real person doesn’t show off, know this? Qingyu,"
Hu Qingyu scoffed, "You? A real person doesn’t show off? Also, don’t call me Qingyu, please call me by full name Hu Qingyu or Miss Hu."
Xu Xiangbei seemed not to hear her warning, continued, "Alright, Qingyu, you study at Jinjiang University, huh?"
Hu Qingyu coldly replied, "Yes, I am a senior here."
"Oh, so you’re a top student!"
"Did you not go to university?" Hu Qingyu was a bit confused.
"Well, I dropped out in high school," Xu Xiangbei’s face showed a nonchalant expression.
"No wonder you act like a hooligan, yet claim to be a president?"
"Nowadays, many bosses haven’t been to university. Moreover, I’m such a friendly citizen, helping elderly across the road, boosting the GDP of the country, there might not be a better person in Jiangcheng than me."
"Seeing one’s melon, boasting," Hu Qingyu really couldn’t find words to describe him, shamelessness to the extreme is exactly like this.
Sometimes she really wanted to slap Xu Xiangbei and ask him, do you still want face? Have any self-awareness? But thinking of her situation, needing this guy’s help, she had to hold back.
Xu Xiangbei showed an upright, selfless demeanor, asking, "Right, Qingyu, you called me here, is there anything you need help with? Rest assured, I will definitely assist beauties with my utmost. Even if bankrupt, no, even if offering myself, I’m very willing." Meanwhile, his expression portrayed a look of self-sacrifice, who else but him would descend into Hell.
Hu Qingyu started to deeply doubt herself, thinking this decision was a mistake, finding such an unreliable person. But now, there were no other options, she didn’t know many guys, and those in school would be exposed.
"I want you to be my boyfriend." Hu Qingyu said this expressionlessly.
"What?" This was thunderous for Xu Xiangbei, although he had considerable confidence in his charm, it was still surprising to become a couple after meeting only twice.
Although Hu Qingyu was very beautiful, almost on par with Ding Keke, even just half a step below Gu Xinyan. If she dresses up just a bit more, she’d be at the celestial level of beauty. Yet somehow he felt like he’s entered a den of thieves...
