then leave."The air was heavy with a palpable mist.The man's breath was right beside her, hot and enveloping. Mu Xing looked into his eyes, deep and mesmerizing like a vast starry sky. For a moment,...Li Xuexuan chased after them relentlessly. Shen Qiong didn't hesitate, directly pulling open the car door and getting in.

The car started and drove out, a slightly smiling voice came from beside him, "Where to"

The car air freshener diffused a faint scent of amber sandalwood, complementing the man's warm and masculine aura.

Shen Qiong was dizzy from the intoxicating scent, her hands clutching the seatbelt and squeezing it up and down. Where was she going How could she suddenly not remember Oh no...

Without receiving a reply, He Chao glanced at the girl in the passenger seat with the corner of his eye. She seemed restless and fidgety. "Little classmate, you seem very nervous"

"No, no, I'm not nervous at all, hehe."

Shen Qiong chuckled, her face still facing the car window. Her delicate and beautiful side profile was tightly clenched, showing how nervous she was at a glance.

He Cha's lips curled slightly, "I'm going to Yuzun Manor to find Mu Xing now. Would you like to come with me"

The driver was waiting right at the school gate. Shen Qiong wanted to tell He Chao that she could just get off at the entrance, but for some reason, when the words left her mouth, they turned into "Okay."

One hour later, the car drove into the territory of Yuzun Manor.

On both sides, tall trees slowly recede, and a European-style villa appears in the distance.

Other villas stood scattered around, like guardians.

Shen Qiong looked at the magnificent manor, her mind filled with: Why am I here

Suddenly, I remembered that it seemed like I had promised to come with He Chao at the time…

Well, she really wants to see the little star too, so hitching a ride would be pretty good... Hmm...

At this moment, Mu Xing was standing at the door of the villa, waiting for her little uncle to come home. When she saw a white Mercedes-Benz drive up, a delicate smile appeared on her pretty face.

Soon, the car came to a stop in front of her.

"Ah-chao brother!"

Mu Xing bounced forward to greet them, but she saw Shen Qiao getting out of He Chao's car. She was a little surprised, "Qiongbao, how come you're here with Brother Chao"

Shen Yue, crouching on the roof, was also very puzzled. When did this little girl become so close to He Chao

"Met at school," Shen Qiong chuckled.

"Oh."

Mu Xing grabbed Shen Qiong's hand and beckoned He Chao into the house.

Three people sat in the living room. Mu Xing was still worried about their unpleasant parting that day and couldn't wait to ask He Chao: "Brother He Chao, is Dad He still angry"

He Chao nodded. After returning to the manor that day, he reiterated to his father that he and Mu Xing were just siblings and hoped he would agree to dissolve the engagement. His father was so angry that he hadn't spoken to him since.

Mu Xing furrowed her brow with worry, "Then what about our engagement"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiong's heart skipped a beat. Little Star and Doctor He...

Have they reached the stage of talking about marriage

She couldn't help but look at He Chao. Seeing his gaze fixed on Mu Xing, she quickly retracted her gaze, concealing all her emotions without a trace. Only her heart ached faintly.

He Chao was also very troubled. His father had spent most of his life following rules and etiquette, keeping his word, and having a deep friendship with Uncle Mu. It would be difficult to get him to agree to break the engagement.

To reassure Mu Xing, he still comforted her: "It's okay, I'll persuade him slowly. My father will agree sooner or later."

"I guess that's all we can do." Mu Xing sighed, then asked, "By the way, Brother Chao, how is my classmate"

"The surgery was a success. He's recovering well now and in good condition. You can rest assured."

That's good.

Mu Xing chatted with He Chao for a few words, then immediately looked at Shen Qiong, feeling a little apologetic for ignoring her. However, she found that Shen Qiong's face was a bit pale, and she couldn't help but worry, "Qiong Bao, are you feeling unwell"

Shen Qiong pulled up a smile, “I'm not uncomfortable.”

Something seemed amiss. Mu Xing furrowed her brow, feeling uneasy. "You don't look well," she said, "Let Ah Chao brother take a look."

At this moment, the sound of a car engine came from outside. Mu Xing's heart leaped. She grabbed Shen Qiong's hand and gave it to He Chao, then dashed out.

His hand was held in the palm of a man's, the hand that had been wielding surgical knives for years, bones distinct, grip firm. Shen Qiong could clearly feel the delicate touch of his skin and the warmth of his hand.

A gentle warmth, a very comfortable temperature, but as it reached her, it felt like a burn. She quickly pulled her hand back, retreating as if startled, like a frightened fawn.

He Chao looked at her with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Little classmate, I don't think I look that scary, do I"

Why does she always look panicked whenever she sees him

Shen Qing averted her gaze, unable to meet that elegant face. Her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know how to answer. She blurted out, "That... has nothing to do with your appearance. It's mainly because I'm allergic to men."

He Chao smiled and pushed up his glasses, "Oh, so that's how it is..."

Su's soft voice was like a tiny electric current, making Shen Qiong's ears and heart tingle. She hurriedly touched the sofa and sat down, taking out her phone from her pocket.

Now only games can calm her down!

Mu Xing walked in arm-in-arm with Fu Lingxiao and saw Shen Qiong sitting on the sofa playing games, while He Chao sat opposite her, smiling at Shen Qiong.

"Ah Chao gege, did you check on Qiongbao Is she alright"

He retracted his gaze, "The game is going well, it should be fine."

Saying that, she got up and looked at Fu Lingxiao: "Mr. Fu, there's something I want to talk to you about."

Fu Lingxiao faintly hummed in response, rubbed the little girl's head, and took He Chao upstairs.

In the study, He Chao took out a folded experimental report and spread it on his desk. His face was grave as he said: "This is Professor Wan's toxicology experiment report. This toxin not only affects blood but also erodes bones and organs. However, the specific amount of toxin needed to cause problems remains unconfirmed."

Fu Lingxiao picked up the report and scanned it line by line, "I also got a research report, low temperature can slow down the growth of toxins."

He Chao pondered for a moment and said, "Could we hypothetically assume that when the temperature reaches a certain low point, it could neutralize toxins"

Fu Lingxiao lightly shook his head, "It can only limit the activity of toxins and slow down their growth. It can't kill them."

He locked the experimental report in the drawer and glanced at He Chao: "Mu Xing has been in a bad mood ever since that day. You go back and tell your father, any anger can be directed at me, don't let Mu Xing upset. The little girl is easy to coax, just a phone call, it's not troublesome."

"Okay, I'll go tell my dad."

The two talked, came down from the upstairs, and saw two little girls sitting on the sofa with their legs crossed, playing games, their heads huddled together.

"Precious! Prince LANLING has sneaked in again, quickly protect me!"

"Don't be afraid, if he dares to show his face, I'll smash him!"

"Ahhh! Qiongbao, Lu Bu jumped too far, run!"

"No need to run, I can take them both on with one hammer. You just stay on the sidelines and mock them, get in their heads!" during the day!!!Wu, the housekeeper, understood instantly, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. The young master and the little darling's relationship was indeed fine!No, it's not okay, it's very...
