From Sidekick to Bigshot

Furthermore, the middle-aged congressman expressed that he would try to find the mastermind behind the scenes as soon as possible.

In the call, the middle-aged congressman was very concerned about Jian Yiling’s attitude. It was as though he was afraid that Jian Yiling would break off contact with him due to this matter.

His mind was only at ease once Jian Yiling replied that this incident would not affect their friendship.

And thus, the two of them talked for a few more minutes before hanging up the call.

After that, Qin Yufan called Jian Yiling. She told Jian Yiling that she had been waiting for her at the university gates for quite some time.

She wanted to take Jian Yiling to do a massage to relax.

“I’ve asked your man’s permission for this,” Qin Yufan added.

Zhai Yunsheng indeed agreed to this. He wanted Jian Yiling to relax from time to time. Otherwise, she would only be focused on her work. If this was the case, it would be easy for her to burn out.

As she was unable to reject Qin Yufan’s numerous invitations, Jian Yiling was taken to the beauty treatment center by Qin Yufan.

After the massage, Qin Yufan placed a facial mask on her face. Then, she curiously asked Jian Yiling: “Has Master Sheng ever bullied [1]you?”

Jian Yiling typically wore loose clothes. However, when the attendant took off Jian Yiling’s loose clothing, Jian Yiling’s figure was quite impressive.

Her waist was thin and her legs were straight and pale.

And thus, Qin Yufan refused to believe that Zhai Yunsheng could hold himself back.

Unless Zhai Yunsheng was incapable of doing those things. That was also a possibility that some people suspected.

“Nope,” Jian Yiling responded. Zhai Yunsheng had not bullied her.

“Not that kind of bullying… The other kind… ”

“What do you mean?” Jian Yiling asked as she looked at Qin Yufan with a confused expression on her face.

“Like, has he done some excessively intimate actions to you?”

Although Jian Yiling was only one year younger than her, Qin Yufan had a guilty feeling when she was saying these things to her. It was as though she was not meant to say such topics to an innocent girl.

“Are you trying to ask if we’ve attempted to reproduce?” Jian Yiling questioned. She suddenly understood the meaning behind Qin Yufan’s words.

“Cough… Cough cough…” Qin Yufan just happened to take a sip of tea. Upon hearing these words, she immediately choked on her tea.

Ahh, it appeared as though she underestimated this little girl.

“Yeah, that’s what I meant,” Qin Yufan replied as she recovered from choking on tea. She was looking forward to Jian Yiling’s answer.

“Nope.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“Can he really hold back?”

“I don’t know.” As Jian Yiling was responding to these questions, her face was not red at all.

In fact, she seemed to be even calmer than Qin Yufan.

“Jian Yiling, is there anything wrong with Master Sheng’s body?” Qin Yufan questioned.

“There shouldn’t be.”

From a medical point of view, if he could do other exercises, then exercise in that aspect shouldn’t be a big problem either.

“Shouldn’t be? Have you… Have you checked?” Qin Yufan continued to question.

“Nope.”

Qin Yufan swallowed a mouthful of tea before she suggested: “Then, do you want to go home and give him a checkup?”

“A checkup?”

“Yeah. Aren’t you a doctor? You should know how to examine such things right?”

Although Jian Yiling was not a specialist doctor in that area, she would still probably know a bit about it, right?

Jian Yiling thought about Qin Yufan’s words for a while. There was nothing wrong with a checkup. If something was wrong, it would be better to find out earlier than later.

All of a sudden, Qin Yufan was somewhat looking forward to hearing about this scene.

After all, if Zhai Yunsheng was actually sickly, early treatment would be good for him.

[1] Translator Note: The word bullied here can also be interpreted as “taken advantage of” in Chinese. Therefore, Qin Yufan assumed that Jian Yiling misinterpreted her words.
