Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 834 - 808: Let’s See What Excuse You Come Up With Now

At different times in life, people have different characteristics. Qian had an epiphany. Why does she have to wait until she matures and becomes strong before having kids? With him by her side, why not let the baby come into a world where mom and dad are growing together?

After brushing with death, Qian had a change in mindset, turning misfortune into fortune in a sense.

"I don’t want to come to your house anymore; it’s too frustrating." Zheng Xu decided he had to leave this place that pierced his heart, where everyone seemed to be getting married or having kids. It was too much for him.

"I’ll get someone to send you the hypnosis tapes later. Take to heart what I said. If you don’t want to get married, just don’t. Do whatever you want, but don’t treat marriage as a game."

Qian stood at the door and dropped this pearl of wisdom. Zheng Xu couldn’t wait to get into the elevator, skipping the goodbye, because he saw that distressing blonde standing at Qian’s door. If he didn’t leave, he would hear the word ’hemorrhoid’ again.

This was undoubtedly the most vexing word of the year for Zheng Xu!

Aka watched as Zheng Xu entered the elevator. So, he didn’t want to get married either.

"What’s up?" Qian asked Aka.

"Here, this is for you." Aka handed over a bag.

"What’s this?"

"Dendrobium and bird’s nest, good for your throat."

"I don’t want it." Qian was afraid of all these things. She had a hard time sending off Mrs. Yu, who loved brewing tonics. She didn’t want to consume them again.

"Please accept it. My boss got really mad because of your situation. I’ve never seen him so angry. If you don’t take what he bought, he’ll probably deduct my year’s salary."

Aka clasped his hands together in a pleading gesture.

Qian glanced at the valuable tonic gift box, her eyes narrowing slightly.

"You want me to take it?"

Aka nodded eagerly.

"I’ll take it if you bring out your mysterious boss. Otherwise—" Qian smirked wickedly.

"Not only will I not take it, but I’ll also stop my medication."

"You’re threatening me!" Aka widened his eyes. When did Boss Qian become so cunning!

Qian shook her head, "I’m not threatening. I’m bluffing."

This skill of bluffing, once learned, is addictive and hard to give up.

Aka was at a loss, what should he do now...

"I don’t care what his intention is; I just don’t like people placing others around me without my consent. If he doesn’t want the misunderstanding to grow further, it’s best he comes out and meets me himself."

Qian slammed the door shut in Aka’s face.

Aka was in a dilemma, wondering what she should do now...

Back in her new home, Qian blissfully put on a facial mask. Most things were settled, and she could peacefully surf the internet and write case studies.

There was no news from Xiaoqiang yet; at this moment, he was probably busy at the marketplace.

Qian lounged casually on the sofa, with the laptop resting on her lap. The open page displayed a pregnancy planning guide. It was time to consider having a child...

She had it all planned. She would stay in Lishi with her mentor. If she planned to get pregnant this year, by the time she graduated with her master’s, she could have a baby. The first year of the doctoral program wouldn’t be too busy, just perfect for staying with a baby.

Such a perfect plan.

Qian could almost feel the little rosy-cheeked Xiaowei waving at her. As soon as Xiaoqiang was back, she’d tell him about the pregnancy plan. This guy would be overjoyed to death.

Qian jotted down the information she gathered. In the afternoon, she planned to visit the bookstore and buy a couple of books on pregnancy planning.

Previously, Xiaowei’s arrival was unexpected. Though the child was healthy, parents always strive for perfection. This time, Qian wanted to be more thorough.

But before she could leave the house, the guard called her internally.

"Ma’am, there’s someone at the entrance claiming to be a teacher of yours named Liu. Should I let her in?"

Teacher? Coming over?

Qian immediately went downstairs to greet her in person.

Her teacher seldom came to see her at home; what could this be about?

Mr. Liu was approaching with a large bag in hand, and Qian hurriedly met her.

"Why didn’t you call me beforehand, so I could pick you up, teacher?"

"I needed to deliver this personally. How’s your throat?"

"Almost better. I was planning to go to school tomorrow. You didn’t have to bring so much stuff, it’s too much trouble."

"These are all cases, nothing too formal."

"..." Qian was speechless.

Visiting her with case files instead of fruits? Typical Mr. Liu!

Once at the house, Mr. Liu glanced around. The place was nicely decorated and tasteful. But she wasn’t here to admire Qian’s new place; she had important news!

"Go through these cases in the next few days. These are the ones I’ve recorded over the years that are quite unique. Your theoretical knowledge is solid, but you need more clinical exposure. If he tests you later, you should showcase your talent and strengths."

Qian was astonished by the huge pile of cases; weren’t these Mr. Liu’s treasured notes? He brought them all at once, this was unprecedented!

Such prestigious professor’s notes were priceless. So many people wanted to see them, yet Mr. Liu used a shabby black plastic bag to bring them over?

"Teacher, what are you up to? Is there some international competition for me to join again?"

"Silly girl, it’s not a competition this time, it’s good news. Haven’t you checked your email yet?"

"What email?"

"If you haven’t, check it quickly, it’ll delight you."

Under Mr. Liu’s urging, Qian opened her computer in bewilderment, wondering what could possibly please her so much?

When she saw the email from Qi, Qian’s mind went blank.

Upon opening it, even the battle-hardened boss woman covered her mouth in astonishment. Oh my god!!!

"I’ll brew you a pot of tea, teacher, have a seat."

"Don’t run away from this; sit here! Do you understand?" Mr. Liu grabbed the fleeing Qian, gesturing to the computer with a look of pride.

Let’s see what excuses you can come up with now, you sly girl!

Fearing she’d delete the email or something, Mr. Liu came over specifically to watch her open it. Qian’s expression was so rich, it would bring Mr. Liu endless amusement for days.

"My English isn’t great, I might need to look up some words."

Qian really wished she had misunderstood. How could Mr. Qio have left a note asking to meet her at Central Hospital tomorrow?

Hadn’t she dodged it? Successfully avoiding a face-to-face with Mr. Qio?

"Don’t give me that. Do you think I don’t know you scored 708 on your Level 6 exams, missing only two points for a perfect essay score? Not only that, you also mastered D language, and can manage everyday conversations in Island language. You’ll have no issue communicating with Qi."

Qian awkwardly smacked her lips, "He grew up abroad, we can’t converse."

"Qi spent his youth in the country; his Mandarin is likely standard. Otherwise, how do you think he managed lectures in the south?" Let’s see what other excuses you’ll find!
