The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 15 Aren't you going to take me home?

Jiang Baohai quietly calmed his disappointment.

He deliberately said, "If it's about working underground, the mine is always hiring. Your brother seems to be in good health, so I might consider it."

Gao Qingmiao's heart was in her throat.

Fortunately, his sister is his biological sister.

“Miaomiao is more suitable for other positions.”

Gao Qinghe said without any psychological burden:
“Miao Miao has always been perceptive and quick-witted. Look at his physique, he could even be your bodyguard.”

“A wealthy man like Boss Jiang can’t go out without a bodyguard these days.”

Jiang Baohai lowered his eyes, looking like he was seriously considering something.

After a while, under the expectant gazes of the siblings...

He shook his head: "Sorry, I don't need any bodyguards right now."

Fearing she might continue speaking, Jiang Baohai quickly raised his hand to see her out.

He said it very considerately: "It's getting late, and if it gets any later you might miss your train back."

Gao Qinghe opened her big, bright eyes and asked matter-of-factly:
Aren't you going to take me home?

Jiang Baohai's forehead veins throbbed.

She dared to have a man she had only met for the first time take her home?

She was still arrogant enough to think that, having been reborn, she could still win over this rich and handsome coal mine owner.

Jiang Baohai glanced at his watch. "I have some things to take care of, so I won't see you off."

Gao Qinghe seemed to be waiting for him to say those words. Before he could finish speaking, her snow-white hand had already reached out.

Jiang Baohai asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Gao Qinghe's eyes sparkled: "A red envelope, compensation for the travel expenses."

She had just seen him give red envelopes to the matchmaker and the young girl.

One for each person.

It doesn't make sense that they have it but she doesn't.

Jiang Baohai hadn't thought of this at all, and thought to himself, "You're so sharp-eyed!"

His tone was curt: "No."

"Really?!" She was even more excited.

That genuine, heartfelt smile thankfully didn't blind Jiang Baohai.

"If you don't like someone, you give them a red envelope. But if you don't give me one, does that mean you like them?"

Gao Qinghe was practically ready to take a picture of his household registration book and drag him to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

Jiang Baohai gritted his teeth: "Fang Xiaoyu, give it to her."

Fang Xiaoyu quickly ran back to the office to find red envelopes to seal.

Two fresh, warm red envelopes were handed to Gao Qinghe and her brother.

Gao Qinghe glanced at hers; it was two hundred.

Then I looked at my younger brother's, which was also two hundred.

Those bright, watery eyes suddenly held a hint of sincerity when they looked at Jiang Baohai.

"Boss Jiang, you look so charming and handsome when you hand out red envelopes."

"I hope you'll still be just as charming when I see you again. Bye~"

Waving goodbye and clutching the freshly made red envelope, Gao Qinghe happily prepared to leave.

But I forgot that there was a slight drop at the entrance to the cubicle, and I tripped and fell.

Just then, the person screamed "Ah!" and their body went out of control and they were about to fall.

Jiang Baohai reached out to her almost instinctively.

Gao Qinghe had almost regained her composure when she suddenly noticed someone approaching her from behind.

With a quick glance, she stumbled into his arms.

Jiang Baohai realized what was happening and immediately tried to shake her off like he was throwing up shit.

To his utter surprise, she gripped his arm tightly, and he instantly collapsed into her arms.

Gao Qinghe felt that she might have gotten too caught up in the role.

I felt dizzy, lightheaded, and had heart palpitations; in an instant, I lost all my strength.

The system voice, which hadn't been heard for a long time, rang in my mind.

[Host's current blood sugar level is too low. Please replenish sugar within ten minutes, otherwise there is a risk of shock.]

Gao Qinghe's face turned deathly pale. She gripped Jiang Baohai's collar tightly, her lips trembling as she said:

"Sugar, sugar"

Jiang Baohai was startled by her sudden change of expression. Gao Qingmiao seemed to just remember something and said anxiously:

"My sister's low blood sugar has flared up again. She must have skipped lunch. The doctor told her to eat properly when she was discharged from the hospital!"

Jiang Baohai had no idea about this.

His face instantly darkened, and he hurriedly roared at Fang Xiaoyu:
"Hurry up and go to the kitchen to make her a bowl of sugar water, and do it quickly!"

Fang Xiaoyu didn't dare to delay and rushed into the cafeteria kitchen shouting.

Jiang Baohai picked the person up by the waist and carried them into the cafeteria.

Unbeknownst to him, his face was extremely pale at that moment, and his eyes were so fierce that he looked like he wanted to devour someone.

Gao Qingmiao, who was about to reach out and take her older sister's hand, abruptly pulled it back.

They quickly followed and found two long benches that were pushed together.

Jiang Baohai placed her on the bench, but Gao Qinghe's hand was still gripping his collar. After hesitating for half a second, he sat down as well, letting her lean against him.

"The sweet soup is here!"

Fang Xiaoyu ran out carrying a bowl of freshly prepared hot sugar water.

Gao Qingmiao reached out to take it.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Baohai's outstretched hand intercepted it again.

When the hot sugar water was brought to her lips, Gao Qinghe drank more than half a bowl, sip by sip.

She was so full she couldn't drink anymore, and gently shook her head.

Jiang Baohai: "Drink it all!"

How dare he yell at her?

Gao Qinghe didn't even have the strength to glare, but Jiang Baohai shoved the bowl at her, and she barely managed to finish the rest of the sweet soup.

After about half a minute, his complexion gradually improved.

Gao Qingmiao breathed a sigh of relief, but was then filled with self-reproach.

He hurriedly asked the head chef standing at the back if there was any food in the kitchen, so he could get something for his older sister.

"There's still some noodles left, shall I go and cook her a bowl?" the head chef asked tentatively.

Gao Qinghe weakly reminded, "Don't put garlic in, thank you."

The head chef nodded, indicating that he had remembered.

Jiang Baohai realized that he had been too nervous when he saw that the other person had calmed down.

I figured she was already better anyway.

He ripped open the collar of the seemingly soft, boneless little hand that was actually incredibly strong.

The solid support behind me suddenly disappeared.

Caught off guard, Gao Qinghe nearly fell off the stool.

Fortunately, Gao Qingmiao reacted quickly and took over in time, helping her older sister sit up.

A large pot of water was boiling in the kitchen, and within two minutes, a bowl of clear soup noodles was ready and served.

Gao Qinghe cherishes her life very much.

Even though I found the clear broth noodles incredibly bland, I still ate most of a bowl.

I didn't put it down until my stomach couldn't hold any more.

"Are you feeling better, sister?" Gao Qingmiao asked guiltily.

Gao Qinghe patted her chest and nodded. The system had just notified her that her health bar had returned.

Gao Qingmiao finally felt relieved and said with self-reproach:

“We left early this morning, and you didn’t even finish your breakfast before I dragged you away. You haven’t eaten a bite of lunch yet either. I didn’t even remember that you can’t go hungry right now.”

When lunch was mentioned, Gao Qinghe glanced sideways at the tall figure standing at the door.

Blame it on that garlic rice he ate!
The accusing gaze seemed to materialize and burn through Jiang Baohai.

He coughed twice, as if making a decision.

He turned to the siblings and said, "I'll take you home."

Gao Qingmiao suddenly realized that Boss Jiang was actually a pretty good person.

He was worried about how his older sister would get to the county town to catch a ride given her condition.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

In her excitement, Gao Qingmiao misspoke again.

His arm was pinched hard by Gao Qinghe, and only then did he realize what had happened, awkwardly scratching his head and explaining:
"I meant thank you, Boss Jiang. My sister and I will always remember your great kindness, hehe~"

Jiang Baohai suppressed his pout.

He twirled the car key between his fingers. "Let's go."
