mediately pressed the answer button."I just went to the sanatorium...""I'm already on the highway now, they said you went out, who did you go out with"She was chatting on the phone with Gu Ruyue, Jun...Qiao Baoer didn't sleep well last night.

She fell asleep late at night, tossing and turning in bed and having many strange dreams. When she woke up, it was almost 11 o'clock in the morning.

The whole apartment was very quiet.

She stumbled out of bed and into the bathroom to wash up. Then it hit her, Zhu Xiaowei had yelled, "Mom's going hunting for food!" before leaving this morning. No wonder it was so quiet at home; she must have gone for an interview.

Ding dong—

Ding dong——

Until two doorbells rang consecutively, Qiao Bao'er was startled. She came to her senses and immediately walked briskly to the door as someone pressed the doorbell.

"Was this sent to the wrong person"

She stared at the delivery guy standing by the door, "I didn't order any food..."

"I'm delivering according to the order address, this door number is correct..."

She looked at the takeout container with Gordon Hotel printed on it, the fragrant Thai imperial fried rice steaming inside. Such an expensive fast food, who ordered it for her

"Miss, our company regulations require that we deliver the fast food within 30 minutes, or I will be fined. Could you please sign for it first"

The delivery guy was urging her a little.

"Oh." Qiao Ba'er didn't make things difficult for her, holding her 'lunch' in a happy mood.

She thought it must be Zhu Xiaowei who ordered her lunch.

Jo Bao'er was deeply touched. In a few moves, she opened the fast food and sat at the small round table to eat.

A typical Thai Royal Fried Rice would include shrimp, squid, and crab sticks stir-fried over high heat for a fragrant aroma. It also usually has pineapple and egg. However, she noticed that this fried rice had relatively less seafood. As she was pregnant, she couldn't eat too much seafood. The shrimp were very fresh and the Thai pineapple was authentic, adding a sweet fragrance when cooked. Most importantly, there was no egg, which she doesn't eat.

"Little Zhu is most suited to be a nanny or housekeeper..."

She is now certain that it was Zhu Xiaowei who ordered her meal, otherwise how could she know that she doesn't eat eggs.

He scooped a few bites with his spoon, pondering the events of last night.

Last night she called Lu Qinian. At first, she wanted to find out about Jun Zhimu, but then he inexplicably hung up the phone.

Had half of it, put down the spoon, and walked to the counter to grab her phone.

She wanted to call back and clarify, but just as she picked up her phone, Lu Qinian called her first, seeming even more eager than her.

" Qiao Bao'er, where did your jade pendant come from"

On the phone, he immediately started aggressively demanding.

"What's gotten into you" she said, completely clueless about what he was talking about.

Lu Qinan lowered his voice, emphasizing, "I'm saying, the half-moon shaped blood jade lying in that zitan wood box of yours…"

Jo Baoer stood dumbfounded, speechless.

Her rosewood box, a crescent moon-shaped jade pendant.

"You, how did you know" Her voice was low, hesitant yet laced with annoyance. "Lu Qinan, do you have any manners My box was locked, I left it at the Jun family's, how..."

How could he possibly know.

Suddenly, her eyes widened in shock. Was it Jun Zhi Mu who had taken her wooden box

"Why didn't you ask me before taking my things Is this right" She was clearly angry.

This is an invasion of her privacy, of course she's angry, and she's never wanted to talk about this wooden box with anyone.

Lu Qinan called her urgently this time, just to force her to get a clear answer, " Qiao Bao'er, this jade pendant of yours is very special. The jade is translucent, bright red, and a very precious variety. It is half-moon shaped and should be one of two pieces. When combined, they form a complete circular ring..."

As for these antiques, Lu Qinan was quite knowledgeable. At a glance at the jade pendant in the wooden box, he felt something was amiss.

These are usually jade pendants commissioned by wealthy families in the past for lifelong use. Nowadays, elderly people in the circle also like to give these precious jade objects with symbolic meaning to their descendants as a legacy passed down through generations.

Qiao Bao'er was inwardly shocked, because he was right.

That jade pendant was for the engagement.

"What's it to you!" she retorted angrily, unwilling to engage with him.

Lu Qinan heard the stubbornness in her tone and immediately felt his head steaming. He roared, "Jun Zhimu has been busy with this jade pendant lately!"

She held her phone, her expression somewhat stunned.

She wanted to say something, but suddenly a sharp pain struck her abdomen.

Pain —

The phone fell straight to the floor with a crack.

Lu Qinan was also stunned, and hurriedly shouted, "Hey, what happened to Qiao Baoer..."

"Qiao Bao'er—"

Lu Qinan's heart was filled with terror, he cried out several times, but there was no response from the other end of the phone.

"What just happened"

She was fine last night…

Zhu Xiaowei was halfway through her interview when she received a call from Lu Qinian, saying that Qiao Baier had an accident. She was so scared that she left the interview abruptly and rushed home.

"I'm fine," the woman lying on the hospital bed muttered quietly.

"You have the nerve to speak, just shut your mouth!"

Lu Qin'nan's blood pressure surged, he almost got choked to death by her. He glared at this troublemaker with a sinister look and angrily retorted, " Qiao Baor, are you out of your mind You dare eat free lunch!"

I just scared the wits out of him. If this Qiao really causes any major trouble, what's he going to use to compensate the Jun family

Luckily, it's just food poisoning, nothing serious.

"How would I know As soon as I woke up, someone brought takeout..."

< Qiao Baoer blushed and muttered in protest. To be honest, she had a sudden sharp pain in her stomach just now, and she was also scared. She didn't mind herself, but if something happened to her twin sons, she would regret it for the rest of her life. >

"...I thought it was Xiao Zhu who ordered the food for me."

Gordon Hotel's fried rice is so expensive, how could Zhu Xiaowei be so cruel to empty her pockets

"I will be more careful from now on..."

Qiao Bao'er had no choice but to admit defeat. She looked up at them, her voice a little heavier, "You can't tell Jun Zhimu about this, and you can't tell grandpa. Don't tell anyone!"

At least not now, or she'll be in hot water.

Lu Qinnan didn't want to deal with this troublemaker, she snorted coldly and turned to leave the ward. Zhu Xiaowei saw that her face was gradually returning to normal, and breathed a sigh of relief. She followed Lu Qinnan out, letting her sleep quietly for a while.

"Although Qiao Bao'er can be willful at times, she knows her limits. This time was just an accident..."

As soon as she left the hospital ward, Zhu Xiaowei whispered to Lu Qinnan, explaining that she had to speak up for her friend no matter what, so she wouldn't be scolded severely by the Jun family.

"She will really pay attention next time. Qiao Baier's personality isn't as wild and pampered as those outside say she is. Actually, she talks tough but has a soft heart..."

Zhu Xiaowei spoke with righteous indignation, almost swearing for Qiao Baorou.

"Even Jun Zhi Mu can't do anything to her, you think I could"

Since Qiao Bao'er was fine, Lu Qinan also relaxed, a playful smile on his face that he usually wore. He took the two cups of hot coffee bought by his subordinates and handed one to her.

"You guys seem to be really close, huh"

Zhu Xiaowei took his hot coffee and listened to him say so, her expression immediately pained, "Wrong friend."

She took a sip of her coffee. They had all been really worried just now, and she was thirsty now. Actually, Lu Qinan and the other young masters were quite reasonable and considerate.

"Who delivered the takeout to your apartment Do you have any idea"

"No." Zhu Xiaowei really didn't know.

However, as long as the parties involved are physically unharmed, Lu Qinan can directly send someone to the hotel to investigate the rest of the matter. This is not difficult, but there is another thing he cares about more.

Lu Qinan looked at her for a moment, "You're so close to Qiao Baoer, has she ever mentioned her jade pendant to you..." anxious."Master, don't force me to hate you!" Her clear eyes looked at the man's familiar face, tears welling up in the corners, crying like a helpless child.“Don't make me hate you.” she cried out,...
