Chapter 67: Harassment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The house Xia Xin’s parents lived in was a small two-bedroom apartment, old and cramped. Sometimes, Xia Xin and her family would still manage to live together in it, but now that she was older, it felt a bit crowded.

Xia Xin wanted to buy a bigger and better house for her parents so that they could all live together as a family. After thinking about that, Xia Xin remembered the sticky note that Jing MO had left at the door. She messaged him, [Did you arrange for a cleaning lady to come and clean for me?]

After waiting for a while without getting a reply, Xia Xin assumed that Jing MO was probably busy filming and didn’t have time to check his phone. Tired from the previous day’s hospital visit, she fell asleep holding her phone.

Xia Xin was awakened by a WeChat message and saw that it was already 3 p.m.

Jing MO replied, [Yes, I arranged for a cleaning lady. The broken things have been cleaned up, and I also installed a camera at the entrance.]

Following that, Jing MO sent Xia Xin instructions on how to connect to the surveillance footage on her phone.

Once again, Xia Xin was surprised by Jing Mo’s thoughtfulness and replied, [Mr. Jing, thank you for your help. How much was the cleaning fee? I’ll transfer it to you.]

After Jing MO received the payment, he suddenly asked, [About the meal you mentioned treating me to, when do you plan to fulfill that?]

“Huh?” Xia Xin was taken aback and thought, ‘Would Jing MO say something like that? Could it be that Sun Hu was the one using his phone to chat?’

But Xia Xin still gave a response, [How about tomorrow evening?]

Since it was already 3 PM, it was too late for today, and Xia Xin’s leg still hadn’t fully recovered, so going out was not a good idea. Tomorrow would be the most suitable time.

Jing MO quickly replied with a single word, [Okay.]

Stretching lazily, Xia Xin got ready to get up, and then she received a call from Tang Hai.

Xia Xin found it strange because she thought that after last night’s incident, Tang Hai would understand her attitude and wouldn’t bother her anymore. She couldn’t understand why he was calling her again today.

Xia Xin answered the call, and Tang Hai didn’t wait for her to speak before asking directly, “Why aren’t you at the hospital?”

Tang Hail s tone sounded more like an accusation. Xia Xin furrowed her brows and asked, “How do you know I’m not at the hospital?”

Tang Hai said, “I came to the hospital to see you. The lady in the same ward told me that you were discharged this morning.”

Xia Xin felt like she was being watched, making her uncomfortable. Moreover, Layle seemed visibly agitated upon hearing Tang Hails voice. Xia Xin could only pat Layle’s head to calm him down.

Xia Xin replied, “Mr. Tang, we’re just colleagues. You don’t need to worry about me this much.”

Tang Hai didn’t speak and instead asked forcefully, “Where’s your apartment?

I’ll come and see you.”

Xia Xin found Tang Hai increasingly strange. When she had turned him down before, he had maintained a polite social distance. She wondered why he was suddenly so persistent, like a piece of plaster.

Xia Xin said, “You can’t come. My apartment is not convenient right now.”

Tang Hai persisted, “Why not? Is it because your boyfriend is at home?”

Suddenly, Xia Xin realized that yesterday, to turn him down, she had made up a boyfriend.

‘But what’s with his tone? I had nothing to do with him. Whether I had a boyfriend or not was none of his business. His tone was so nauseating that it seemed like he was suspecting me of cheating on him.’ Xia Xin thought.

Xia Xin’s tone was not very friendly as she said, “Mr. Tang, unless it’s work-related, we shouldn’t contact each other anymore. I find it inappropriate! And everyone has their private life. The life after work belongs to me. I would rather enjoy it on my own than be disturbed by others!”

After ending the call, Xia Xin called the veterinarian to inquire about Bao’s condition. After confirming that Bao had been successfully treated, Xia Xin felt relieved.

The veterinarian chatted with Xia Xin, “There’s something strange. When Bao was brought in, the bleeding from the wound had already stopped, but the wound couldn’t have stopped bleeding without removing the splinter. Perhaps Bao’s recovery ability is better than other giant pandas. This seems like a case worth studying!”

The veterinarian got more and more excited, while Xia Xin could only agree without expressing an opinion.

Bao was able to stop bleeding in time because of Xia Xin’s Beast Language System’s passive healing ability. As long as Xia Xin got close to Bao, she could speed up its recovery. Of course, Xia Xin couldn’t say this out loud..
