The big shot is trending on social media every day.

Chapter 73 Such eloquence, is she courting death?

Xu Chuang remembered something and continued, "That old man in power, Mr. Du, was taken away by the Narcotics Control Bureau in full view of everyone at his own Chinese painting exhibition. Right now, it's causing a huge uproar in Beicheng, and it's trending all over the internet!"

Previously, the downfall of a family would never have made it to the trending topics, but now it's pinned to the top of the trending list.

In ancient times, the corpse would have been displayed at the city gate.

Although their anti-drug bureau acts arrogantly, they have always kept a low profile and would not make such a big fuss.

That guy from the Qin family... he's really arrogant...

That's ruthless.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Jiang Li hung up the phone, walked barefoot to the door, opened it, and saw Qin Yexiao carrying a food box.

Qin Yexiao glanced at her narrow, slender, and pale feet, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Put on your shoes."

Jiang Li: "..."

She hooked her foot over and slipped it into her black flip-flops.

Qin Yexiao set out the breakfast and tableware, poured her a glass of warm water and placed it beside her, then went to cut fruit.

Jiang Li was eating breakfast while scrolling through her phone and replying to messages.

Jiang Zaiye posted two messages last night.

[Mom, are you hurt? [Angry]]

I want to skip class and go home.

Jiang Li tilted her head and typed lazily: [No, my precious mom, who skipped class, hit both legs with a stick when she came home.]

Jiang Zaiye: [...]

Jiang Li turned off her phone and put it aside, then looked up.

Qin Yexiao stood behind the open kitchen counter, and Jiang Zaiye's face resembled his by about 60-70%.

The man's movements were slow and meticulous.

Each piece of fruit looked exactly as if it had been measured with a ruler.

Jiang Li crossed her legs, her toes dangling from her black flip-flops, swinging casually back and forth.

With a pair of fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Qin Yexiao and curled his lips into a smile: "Master Xiao, it's a waste to use the hands that save lives to cook for me."

The man raised his dark eyes slightly, his gaze fixed and focused. He looked at her for two seconds, then lowered his head to continue cutting the fruit: "I'm making it for you so it won't go to waste."

Jiang raised an eyebrow.

Qin Yexiao handed her a piece of apple and said in a low voice, "If you really feel guilty, you can choose to marry me."

Jiang Li: "..."

She simply put the apple down and didn't eat it.

Qin Yexiao smiled.

Jiang Li took a sip of porridge and slowly said, "I didn't ask you to serve me."

"Hmm." Qin Yexiao nodded: "I serve you willingly, since I'm part of your harem."

"..."

Jiang Li noticed that he kept mentioning the harem, and her dark eyes narrowed slightly.

She leaned forward slightly, propped her chin on her hand, and smiled gently at him: "Master Xiao."

Qin Yexiao raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over her chest, his eyes suddenly turning deep and unfathomable.

Her black slip dress revealed a large expanse of skin, and the way she squeezed her arms together accentuated her fair and delicate skin.

Qin Yexiao looked away and gave a low, hoarse "hmm."

“Actually, there’s another place in the harem called the Cold Palace.” Jiang Li curled her lips mockingly. “I think you’d be quite suitable for that place.”

Qin Yexiao wanted to look up at her, but his gaze inevitably swept over her chest.

The man's eyes were deep, and he took a deep breath, glancing at the black shawl hanging on the back of the sofa.

He put down the fruit knife in his hand and came out of the kitchen.

Jiang Li thought he was finally going to give up and leave, but then she saw him take a black shawl from the sofa and walk towards her.

A faint scent of mint and tobacco approaches, carrying a hint of cool, sandalwood fragrance, with a strong sense of aggression.

Qin Yexiao draped the shawl over her slender, fair shoulders and back.

His long fingers had distinct knuckles, and his skin was pale and cool, giving him an air of asceticism.

Jiang Li looked down at him and saw that one corner of his shawl was tied in a knot, covering her chest.

She raised an eyebrow. The man's low voice came from above: "I have powerful backing. According to the rules of survival in the harem, you can't just demote me to the cold palace."

Jiang Li paused for a second, then suddenly asked him seriously, "How long have you been in this condition?"

Qin Yexiao didn't quite understand. He lowered his eyes to meet her fox-like eyes and raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do you mean?"

"Let's see if you're still salvageable."

Qin Yexiao: "..."

“Being persistent and clingy is a disease, and it needs to be cured.” Jiang Li said very seriously, word by word.

Qin Yexiao gazed at her face: "If you marry me, I can be cured of any illness."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and said calmly for the last time, "You've really mistaken me for someone else, Master Xiao."

Qin Yexiao curled his lips into a slight smile: "I told you, I made a mistake, I admit defeat."

Jiang Li: "..."

She was now more curious about how he had recognized her.

After the meal, Qin Yexiao applied medicine to her wound.

Jiang Li changed her clothes, still wearing a short skirt that showed off her long legs, and a pair of red-soled black high heels.

Qin Yexiao's gaze deepened as he looked at her slender, pale legs.

The two of them went downstairs together.

Cheng Sijun and Xu Miao's car had just arrived.

"Brother Xiao," Cheng Sijun greeted him.

Qin Yexiao nodded slightly and looked at Jiang Li: "I'm going to the hospital first, I'll pick you up tonight."

Jiang Li ignored him, turned around and got into the car.

Cheng Sijun felt that probably only Jiang Li in the world would dare to treat the Crown Prince like that.

Cheng Sijun got into the car, closed the door, and looked at Jiang Li seriously: "Master Li, why does Master Xiao treat you differently? He must love the way you refuse to kneel!"

Jiang Li twitched the corner of her mouth: "So good with words, are you out of your mind?"

Cheng Sijun: "..."

He went to the set of the TV series "Like a Dream".

Cheng Sijun took out a tube of medicine from her bag and handed it to Jiang Li: "I asked someone to buy some scar removal medicine. It's the most effective one on the market right now. I'll have Miaomiao deliver it to you in a bit. You can't have a scar on your arm."

Jiang Li said, "No need."

“If you find it troublesome, I’ll have Miaomiao keep an eye on you. If you can’t remember, I’ll have Miaomiao set an alarm to remind you to apply the medicine on time.” Cheng Sijun knew she was lazy.

“I have a royal physician,” Jiang Li said, then opened the car door and got out.

Cheng Sijun realized her mistake and earnestly apologized: "I'm sorry, I went to all that trouble. I wish you and Xiaoye a happy second child soon."

Jiang Li smiled slightly: "Your blessing is quite malicious."

……

As Jiang Li walked into the training ground, she saw everyone discussing something with different expressions.

His expression was one of surprise, mockery, disdain, and disbelief.

There were too many scandals yesterday.

"Sister Jiang Li!" Song Mingkai was the first to see Jiang Li and called out, jogging over: "How was yesterday? Are you alright?"

Xiao Yi handed the sword to his assistant and walked over as well.

Seeing the gruesome scratches on the back of her hand, he frowned slightly: "I have a scar removal cream that works very well. I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

"It's alright, I have medicine." Jiang Li smiled at them. "Thank you."

"It's good that you're alright." The assistant director was almost scared to death yesterday and didn't sleep well all night. He's still feeling lingering fear.

One actress said disdainfully, "I never expected Fang Ziqing to be that kind of person."

"Fortunately, she's been gone from our production team for a long time."

"Yes."

"The crew next door is really pitiful. They've been filming for half a month, and then the female lead was forcibly replaced. And Fang Ziqing even collapsed and her ashes are gone."

Wen Chi chuckled: "The production team next door has already gone to re-recruit the original female lead."

Happy to hear and see.

Everyone instantly felt refreshed and invigorated.
