Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 762: Chapter 98: Forbidden Love

After receiving an email signed "Zhang Yiyi" from the alumni BBS, Wang Shuai was still somewhat puzzled.

Could it be someone impersonating Baozi’s identity to send him emails? With such a question in mind, Wang Shuai arrived at the new apartment.

"The living environment you guys have really can be counted as the best in All North Campus. Seaside properties are in fashion nowadays, pity Beijing doesn’t have those amenities. But a lake view apartment isn’t bad either," upon entering the new apartment, a visibly uneasy Zhang Yiyi and a smiling Xiao Xian greeted Wang Shuai.

"Senior Wang said the same thing," Wang Shuai, who was enjoying some refreshing cherry juice, choked on the juice when he heard Xiao Xian’s words.

"Who? Senior Wang? My grandfather came here? Where is he now?" Wang Shuai hadn’t anticipated that his heartfelt talk with his grandfather a few days earlier would spur Wang Fenglei to spontaneously visit North Campus.

He heard from the hospital staff that Wang Fenglei went to visit Xiao Que once and then disappeared.

Wang Zhonghe turned Beijing upside down but found no trace of Wang Fenglei.

"I’m not sure. He just mentioned he needed to go out and asked me to check on Xiao Que." Seeing Zhang Yiyi still fidgeting beside him, Xiao Xian joked, "Also, before he left, Yiyi had a bout with Senior Wang."

"Baozi face, are you okay?" Hearing that Wang Fenglei had a confrontation with Yiyi, Wang Shuai’s expression changed, and he grabbed Zhang Yiyi’s hand nervously, forcing her to lift her face so he could carefully check if she was injured.

As he grabbed her hand, Zhang Yiyi’s initially guilty expression immediately turned into a blush as ripe as a persimmon. She murmured, "You... let go, people are watching."

"Don’t mind me, just pretend I’m air," Xiao Xian saw her friend’s embarrassed expression and couldn’t stop giggling.

After confirming that Zhang Yiyi was not injured and realizing his own improper behavior, Wang Shuai let go of her hand, coughed, and moved a few steps away from Yiyi, his earlier tension visibly dissipating.

Seeing his contradictory behavior, Zhang Yiyi’s face turned from red to white. She bit her lips, ran upstairs, and slammed the door loudly.

The slamming of the door was deafening, shaking the entire new apartment. Xiao Xian, who had been giggling, was also made awkward by the sudden change between the two.

"Wang Shuai, what do you mean? If you don’t make things clear today, I’ll just drop the whole protective gear research project for the Wang family," Xiao Xian stood up for her friend. Yiyi may seem carefree, but she’s been more sensitive than her peers due to her parents’ divorce when she was young.

Xiao Xian had relayed to Yiyi what Wang Fenglei said during his visit, and they both interpreted it as his support for Yiyi and Wang Shuai.

In that case, Wang Shuai’s inconsistent behavior was like throwing cold water on Yiyi. Xiao Xian couldn’t stand it anymore.

Wang Shuai originally didn’t want to explain, but then Xiao Xian suddenly brought up the wrist guard, and she produced a women’s wrist guard that seemed to be made of much better material than the original cushion and mat.

"You finished developing it? Zhu Xiaoxian, remember your place. The Wang Family negotiates with others; it’s never under someone’s control," Wang Shuai said sternly, with a hint of danger in his eyes.

"Oh, is that so? Then let’s not talk terms. But before that, let me tell you, Senior Wang has personally tested this wrist guard, and he specifically asked me to customize a pair for him. Since he wants it, he’ll be contacting me again soon," Xiao Xian tucked the wrist guard into her bosom, not giving Wang Shuai any chance to snatch it from her.

"Hand over the wrist guard, and we can sit down and talk properly. You know your aunt is still in Si Yiyi Hospital for childbirth, and you wouldn’t want any complications," Wang Shuai’s mind was racing. Xiao Xian was crucial for the Wang Family, whether for continuing to look for Wang Fenglei or for the protective gear she had developed.

"Fine, but before that, I want to modify the initial terms we agreed upon," Xiao Xian bluntly proposed her new idea. She had passively signed a cooperation agreement with the Wang Family because of Zhuo Feng before. And the practicality of the wrist guard she developed far exceeded her expectations, let alone now that she found out that Wang Feng is indeed Wang Fenglei. The Wang Family had been concealing some things from her.
