Chapter 36 Baby, Are You a Little Bodhisattva

Qin Qi, who had been closely protecting Xia Yuan, noticed that something was off and quickly stepped forward, catching Xia Yuan just as she started to fall backward.

The security guard was startled.

Qin Qi’s expression was even more alarmed.

No one understood how much President Qin valued Miss Xia better than him. The fact that someone dared to make things difficult for her to the point of her fainting at the company’s entrance spoke volumes about how furious President Qin would be.

Qin Qi shot the guard a look that said, “You’re in trouble.”

**In the President’s Office.**

Qin Mohuai glanced at Ouyang Jing, who was holding the Blue Mountain coffee, and then looked at his watch, which read a little past twelve o’clock.

His precious wife hadn’t arrived yet.

He was about to make a call when he received a call from Qin Qi.

“What?!”

Ouyang Jing watched as Qin Mohuai’s cold, fierce demeanor ignited like a hellish demon, making her hesitant to look a second time.

“President Qin, my family…”

Qin Mohuai didn’t have time to listen to her; he strode out of the office.

Leaving Ouyang Jing awkwardly standing there, her prideful nature made her loathe asking for help. She had finally swallowed her pride, but Qin Mohuai had left her here without any explanation.

She sniffed and dialed Mrs. Ouyang’s number.

“Mom, President Qin is very busy. If you want to become the general contractor for the KG hotel, wouldn’t it be better to rely on your own efforts?”

**Mrs. Ouyang:** “…”

Daughters should be raised with wealth, so their outlook doesn’t become shallow. Even though the Ouyang family wasn’t as prosperous as before, they still provided for Ouyang Jing in luxury and believed there was nothing wrong with that.

But Mrs. Ouyang couldn’t help but reflect; had they raised Ouyang Jing to be too aloof? Too disconnected from the real world?

When Qin Mohuai arrived at the VIP ward of the nearby hospital, he saw Xia Yuan, looking pale and sickly, which made his heart tighten involuntarily.

“Baby…”

He gently walked over, took Xia Yuan’s small hand, and kissed it, bringing a glimmer of life to her dazed eyes. “You look so worried; I’m fine, just a bit weak.”

Qin Mohuai knew her health wasn’t great. She usually appeared fine, but when she had even minor issues, her reactions were much stronger than others.

“I’m sorry, baby; I didn’t take good care of you.” His brow furrowed, and a flash of coldness flickered in his eyes.

Qin Qi informed him that it was because the security guard at the entrance had blocked Xia Yuan, forcing her to endure the scorching sun, which led to her fainting from exhaustion.

Given Qin Mohuai’s vengeful nature, he would definitely not let that guard off easily.

—

Xia Yuan weakly grasped Qin Mohuai’s wrist, her skin pale and fragile, but her fingernails shone with a healthy sheen. “You take good care of me usually; this was just an accident.”

Qin Mohuai replied, “It’s not an accident.”

He gently kissed Xia Yuan’s cheek—not with any affection, but just to feel her warmth.

If it weren’t for her feeble grip on his wrist, he would have already left the hospital room to deal with that arrogant security guard. A cold fury seeped from his bones, and he couldn’t bear to leave someone who harmed Xia Yuan alive until the next day; he wouldn’t be able to sleep soundly.

Seeing him in this manic state made Xia Yuan’s eyelids twitch.

She couldn’t help but recall a scene from the original story, where something similar happened to Ouyang Jing. The proud young lady was made difficult by a security guard, and she lashed out at the deranged male lead, blaming him for her troubles. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t have faced such humiliation.

The deranged male lead couldn’t stand such accusations and presented the guard to Ouyang Jing, leaving her to deal with him as she wished, but she merely dismissed the matter with a casual “Forget it.” It was unclear whether she was genuinely generous or simply knew that the deranged male lead would ensure the guard faced severe consequences regardless.

In the end, the situation escalated, and the vengeful male lead took the guard’s life. Enemies took advantage of this, stirring up public sentiment and bribing the guard’s family to create a scene at the Qin Corporation. As a result, Qin Mohuai’s name was dragged through the mud in the newspapers.

Although he managed to suppress the public outcry without affecting the company’s stock, his reputation was tainted, providing his enemies with a way to smear him further.

With this tarnished reputation, Qin Mohuai became even more ruthless, his personality growing increasingly eccentric, leading him to commit many outrageous and brutal acts. Perhaps the author of this story didn’t know how to wrap things up, but in the end, he went mad and ended up with Ouyang Jing in a happy ending.

Xia Yuan pressed her hand against her chest, feeling a bit blocked.

She didn’t know if she could change Qin Mohuai’s fate, but as long as she was here, she wouldn’t allow him to become ruthless or mad.

Her voice was soft, like she was whispering, “I know you’re harboring bad intentions, but please don’t bully that security guard. Just firing him would be enough.”

“Are you a little bodhisattva?” Qin Mohuai scoffed lightly, his cold gaze clearly dismissing her words.

Xia Yuan shot him a reproachful look. “He just talked back to me a bit. If you fire him for that, it’s abuse of power. What more do you want to do to him? I’m not in good health, so just think of it as accumulating good karma for me and don’t do anything bad, okay?”

Qin Mohuai’s narrow, dark eyes blinked in irritation, his high nose pressed against her fair cheek, making the tip of his nose disappear, leaving a small white dent in her skin.

“Alright, I promise you—I won’t do anything bad, just indulge in Yanyan.”

Xia Yuan: “…” So what kind of devil is Qin Mohuai?

In the afternoon, Qin Mohuai pushed aside all his work to accompany Xia Yuan at the Shenghai Manor to rest.

She was very obedient, so he didn’t intend to confine her at home; instead, he granted her plenty of freedom. However, he didn’t expect that because of her docility, people outside would bully her even more fiercely.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he couldn’t touch that security guard. He had to protect his precious…

—

Wife accumulating virtue, the red-eyed wolf buried itself in Xia Yuan’s neck, pretending to be a puppy.

After Xia Yuan fell into a deep sleep, Qin Mohuai went to the study.

Qin Qi, with his broken eyebrow, tall stature, and piercing gaze, handed Qin Mohuai a set of investigation materials. “Third Young Master, that security guard was used as a pawn. He listened to Supervisor Yu’s orders and stopped Miss Xia at the company entrance. The Deep Sea Group bribed our Supervisor Yu, and according to his report, they want to provoke you into making a mistake and bring down the Qin Corporation.”

Fortunately, Miss Xia managed to persuade the CEO; that person from the Deep Sea Group is a madman, and so is the CEO. The consequences of two madmen fighting would be unimaginable.

Qin Mohuai curled his thin lips into a cruel, amused smile. “So today’s little drama was orchestrated by Ninth Uncle. Ninth Uncle hates the Qin family to the core. I didn’t understand what was going on in his mind before, but now I can comprehend a bit.”

“But he absolutely shouldn’t have involved Xia Yuan. I just happen to have some photos of that woman; let’s send them to Ninth Uncle. I’m sure his expression will be quite something. What a pity I can’t see it for myself.”

Killing with a heart—this tactic is indeed ruthless.

After Summer Xia Yuzhe was hidden away, he made a comeback, and his resources were better than ever; this should be unprecedented in the entertainment industry, right?

He understood that it was his brother-in-law providing support from behind the scenes.

In the past, Qin Mohuai occasionally fed Xia Yuzhe some resources. He didn’t even need to step in personally; a single phone call from Secretary Cao could determine which movie or magazine cover Xia Yuzhe would shoot.

Xia Yuzhe thought, Qin Mohuai isn’t just a casual brother-in-law; he’s helped him, and he should be grateful.

So, after receiving a can of high-quality coffee beans, he thought of Qin Mohuai and called Shenghai Manor. Learning that his sister was unwell, he ended his magazine shoot and rushed over to the manor.

Driving a Mercedes, Xia Yuzhe entered Shenghai Manor, with a top-tier male artist, Ning Jiale, sitting in the passenger seat.

The two had debuted together as a group and unbundled a year later, yet unexpectedly, both had risen to fame, with one outshining the other.

Since Ning Jiale had a good relationship with him, he suggested wanting to see the world, so Xia Yuzhe brought him along.

After all, Xia Yuzhe was only nineteen; many people his age still needed parental companionship when taking high-speed trains, so it was understandable that he wanted to show off a bit.
