When Gu Lingling arrived, she happened to see Qian Bao holding a glass of water, trying to get Zhao Jingmiao to drink.

Strangely, despite his bulky build, his actions had an unspeakable tenderness and even a hint of indulgence.

Gu Lingling didn’t speak, just as she was about to step out, Zhao Jingmiao called her, "Lingling, you’re here."

Qian Bao’s body stiffened, and he turned around to glance at Gu Lingling.

Did she come at a bad time?

This thought immediately floated in Gu Lingling’s mind.

She couldn’t be blamed for thinking this way, because the look Qian Bao gave her just now conveyed this meaning.

"Miao Miao, are you feeling better?" Gu Lingling rubbed her nose and walked in, saying, "You really scared me. What did the doctor say?"

The last sentence was directed at Qian Bao.

"She’ll be fine after flushing it out and staying in the hospital for one more day for observation," Qian Bao nodded to Gu Lingling, acknowledging her, then said to Zhao Jingmiao, "You two can chat for a while. I’ll go ask the nurse when your afternoon injection is scheduled."

After speaking, he left the ward to the two of them.

"This person is quite interesting," Gu Lingling said, "What exactly happened?"

Although Zhou Yutao had already told her roughly over the phone, none of them understood why those people kidnapped Zhao Jingmiao.

"Yesterday, I was supposed to go to the shop to sign a contract, but unexpectedly, I got hijacked halfway," Zhao Jingmiao still felt scared when she thought about it.

Two big men stopped her and took her to a private house.

At that time, she thought she was going to die, she was so startled, only to find out those people did it because of Qian Bao.

They even said Qian Bao was interested in her, as long as she served Qian Bao well and got him to give them the business, she could benefit from it.

Zhao Jingmiao naturally refused.

She pleaded for them to let her go, agreeing to speak good words to Qian Bao on their behalf, but they didn’t believe her.

"As long as we send you to Mr. Qian’s bed, he’ll be happy and will give us the project without you saying a thing," one man said, then signaled to his subordinates.

The two big men forcibly drugged her.

Damn it, the feeling of being drugged was truly unbearable.

Initially, she could think clearly, but later on, she started to feel dazed.

She even had a dream, dreaming of a man being incredibly gentle to her, calling her "Miao Miao."

Zhao Jingmiao thought, it must have been a drug-induced hallucination, or else why would she mistake that man for Tong Mingqiang?

She wondered if she had shouted his name at that time.

Reflecting on this, she smiled bitterly.

"I’m just glad you’re alright," Gu Lingling was terrified, "These people must not be let off the hook."

To reach their goals, they even resorted to drugging people, won’t society be in chaos soon?

"Yeah," Zhao Jingmiao nodded; just moving her body made her frown.

"What’s wrong?" Before Gu Lingling could speak, Qian Bao, who had just walked in, ran over anxiously, "Does your wound hurt?"

"You must endure it, once the anesthesia wears off, the wound will hurt."

Gu Lingling, "..."

She seemed to have unintentionally witnessed a display of affection?

"It’s fine, I can tolerate it," Zhao Jingmiao shook her head, "With Lingling taking care of me here, you can go about your business."

Get Qian Bao to take care of her?

Forget it.

Zhao Jingmiao turned her head away, not daring to look at Qian Bao’s cold face successfully caused by her own words.

What could she say?

Though this situation started because of Qian Bao, after all, they were impossible.

Therefore, it’s better not to give him any hope.
