I’m 8 Million Poor
I’m 8 Million Poor Chapter 72

Draped with Ji Chen’s coat, Jiang Baiwan stood at the back of the crowd, tiptoeing to look inside. She was unable to resist commenting in a low voice, “Holy cow, this battle is so intense…… I see that Shui Lan’er is more proactive. What kind of medicine did they use? It’s wrong from a biological point of view……”

Ji Chen was about to laughed in anger. “Is that what you’re focusing on?”

“It’s fine, don’t worry. It’s nothing.” Jiang Baiwan was watching the fun, her eyebrows beaming. She didn’t notice that Ji Chen was in a bad mood at all. “Wow Ji Chen, look at Chu Yunhan’s face. It looks like he’s about to collapse!”

Ji Chen was taller than Jiang Baiwan, so he could see it more clearly. At this moment, Chu Yunhan had all but collapsed. Shui Lan’er in the room seems to have recovered a little bit of her sanity. She wrapped herself in a bed sheet as she looked at the surrounding situation in a daze, then suddenly her eyes widened and her face suddenly turned white.

“Yunhan…… Yunhan?” Shui Lan’er wanted to ask Chu Yunhan for help, but probably because she had just screamed too hard, at this moment, Shui Lan’er could barely let out a sound. She could only say in a hoarse voice, “Yunhan, what’s wrong with me?”

She subconsciously wanted to ask Chu Yunhan for help. Inside her subconscious mind, every time she put on this delicate and soft appearance, she could make Chu Yunhan go through fire and water for her.

However, this time Shui Lan’er miscalculated.

Standing at the door, Chu Yunhan looked devastated like never before. It was clearly just a matter of seconds, yet Chu Yunhan seemed to have aged ten years in a flash.

“……Lan’er.” He spoke with difficulty. “What is this…… all about?”

Shui Lan’ers mind hadn’t quite snapped out of it. She sat on the floor with her hair loose and wrapped in a sheet. She covered her face and sobbed softly. “What? What happened? I don’t know, I don’t know!”

The other protagonist of the incident, Gu Dongcheng, lay paralyzed on the ground, his whole expression somewhat blank. It was as if he had never come back to his senses and was still immersed in what just happened.

Jiang Baiwan still wanted to see more. She held Ji Chen’s hand and tiptoed eagerly. If she didn’t know in her heart that she couldn’t go too far, she would have jumped.

“Aah! Ji Chen, Chu Yunhan is hitting someone!” Jiang Baiwan exclaimed along with the crowd. When she wanted to take another look, Ji Chen covered her eyes with his hand. All of a sudden, the light in front of her disappeared, leaving only darkness.

“Don’t watch anymore.” Ji Chen said faintly. As he covered Jiang Baiwan’s eyes, he whispered next to her ears, “Come with me.”

Jiang Baiwan wanted to struggle. Ji Chen obviously didn’t mean anything with these words, yet it suddenly made her shiver.

So Jiang Baiwan wrapped Ji Chen’s coat on her body tighter and obediently followed him. Before leaving, she glanced at the crowd with regret, clearly expressing her longing for the next scenes.

“You like watching it that much?” Ji Chen asked beside her. Jiang Baiwan sighed and subconsciously said what was on her mind. “It’s not that I like watching it, it’s just that I think it’s rare to come across this kind of situation. If I miss it this time, I may not be able to see one again.”

I was only when Jiang Baiwan finished her sentence that she realized what she had just said. She hurriedly shut her mouth and stole a glance at Ji Chen beside her.

She saw Ji Chen’s face was calm and he did not seem to be angry. He just hummed. “Really?”

Jiang Baiwan got a little more courageous and began to dance on the razor’s edge. “Yes, yes. Don’t tell me you’ve seen it before?”

This sentence actually silenced Ji Chen. His complexion faintly darkened—— Where would he see this kind of things?!

“So, you rarely see it too.” Jiang Baiwan said confidently. “Look how much I sacrificed my image. My dress is torn.”

If Luo Xiao hadn’t agreed to pay for the ruined skirt, Jiang Baiwan wouldn’t have been willing to dash down the corridor in her red pants.

Ji Chen’s dark eyes stared at Jiang Baiwan for a while but didn’t speak. Jiang Baiwan looked back at him and a sudden alarm rose in her heart. Just when she was about to take a step back and run away…… Ji Chen was one step ahead of her. He grabbed both of her legs and threw her over his shoulders. Just like that, he was carrying Jiang Baiwan!

“Ji Chen!” Jiang Baiwan let out a startled cry. Her soft stomach pressed against Ji Chen’s shoulder and she felt the world in front of her was turned upside down. “What are you doing?!”

However, President Ji didn’t say a word. As if he didn’t hear Jiang Baiwan’s cries, he strode outside. No matter how much Jiang Baiwan squirmed and struggled, Ji Chen didn’t put her down and even slapped Jiang Baiwan’s buttocks. “Don’t move. You’ll fall off.”

Jiang Baiwan was extremely embarrassed. Feeling the ogling looks coming from all directions, Jiang Baiwan was indignant as she lay on Ji Chen’s shoulder unmoving with a strong sense of despair.

It didn’t take long for Ji Chen to walk to his car. He opened the door and put down Jiang Baiwan on the back seat, before he followed in. Seeing Ji Chen’s appearance, the driver started the car as soon as the door was closed, and at the same time, he lowered the middle partition to give Jiang Baiwan and Ji Chen privacy.

Jiang Baiwan: “……”

This uncle driver was really fast to act!

It wasn’t until then that Jiang Baiwan noticed a problem. She shrank back, wanting to stay away from Ji Chen, but just after a little movement, she was grabbed on the wrist by Ji Chen.

Ji Chen squinted his eyes as he looked at the little girl who was a short distance away. He sneered. “You know how to be scared now?”

Jiang Baiwan tried to muddle through. “All right, all right, I know nothing will happen……”

“What on earth is this all about?” Ji Chen took a deep breath. “Tell me about this matter in detail from beginning to end.”

Seeing Ji Chen hot in pursuit, Jiang Baiwan knew that there was no getting around it, so she simply told Ji Chen everything like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. “There’s nothing much. It’s just that after Luo Xiao and Jiang Zhishu discovered it, they took me along to put a counter plan in place. You can see that I appeared in a bit of a mess today, but in fact this dress was torn by me and Jiang Zhishu, and I was not in any danger at all.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Baiwan inadvertently remembered the time when she had accidentally bumped on the bedside table when she was in the room—— Hiss. Her back still hurts a little, but it wasn’t a big deal, right?

Ji Chen lowered his eyes. “Is that right?”

“Yes, yes.” Jiang Baiwan was afraid that he wouldn’t believe her and nodded frantically. “I’m not lying to you, there’s really nothing wrong. The reason why I didn’t tell you is because I’m afraid you won’t be able act. Look at how real you performance was just now.”

After saying that, Jiang Baiwan even rubbed her head against Ji Chen’s side, her smile mixed with flattery. “This time, do you think it will put an end to it once and for all? I don’t think Chu Yunhan will be able to get back with Shui Lan’er with the way he looked, and the president of the Gu family should also handle the matter of Gu Dongcheng.”

Before Jiang Baiwan was done speaking, Ji Chen pulled her into his arms. He pressed on Jiang Baiwan’s shoulder and the heat of his palm touched Jiang Baiwan’s skin, causing some goosebumps to appear.

“When you did these things, have you ever think about me?” Ji Chen’s tone was calm, but it was as if a storm was about to come, very dangerous.

Jiang Baiwan was lying in Ji Chen’s arms, her face buried in Ji Chen’s shoulder. When she heard his words, she suddenly stiffened.

——It’s over. Ji Chen guessed it.

Jiang Baiwan was still thinking about how to get around it, however, Ji Chen had already gotten his answer from Jiang Baiwan’s body language, so he let out a laugh. “Am I right?”

“Ji Chen…… L-let’s talk this through.” Jiang Baiwan stuttered. “Don’t be angry.”

She grabbed Ji Chen’s clothes and showed a rare hint of weakness. “I-I-I-I didn’t do it on purpose. The only thing I could think of is that I didn’t have to bother with them after today is over…… Besides, they were the ones who provoked me first, putting something in my soup. You also saw the way Shui Lan’er looked……”

Jiang Baiwan couldn’t finish her words. She was interrupted by Ji Chen. “I don’t want to listen to you right now. Jiang Baiwan, you should know…… I am angry.”

Saying that, Ji Chen took her into his arms and even found a comfortable position to hold her.

Jiang Baiwan: “……Your behavior is a bit unconvincing.”

“Not only did you not tell me, you didn’t even feel scared.” Ji Chen ignored her and instead continued slowly, “You didn’t feel any sense of immersion when you were doing all this, did you?”

Not only had he completely guessed right, but Ji Chen could also figure out what was going on in her mind.

Jiang Baiwan simply started playing tricks. She rubbed her smudged makeup on Ji Chen’s chest and muttered. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I apologize to you. I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again, okay?”

“No.” Ji Chen flatly refused. “You did something wrong today, so I have to punish you when we get back later.”

P-punish?

Jiang Baiwan suddenly quieted down and her ears gradually began to redden. She lifted her face to look at Ji Chen, her eyes were shining brightly, and she even swallowed. “……What…… what kind of punishment?”

Thinking of the fancy operations of those domineering-president-male-protagonists’ she had read before, Jiang Baiwan felt her heartbeat slowly accelerate.

Ji Chen saying this…… why does it makes people look forward to it?!

Ji Chen intended to frighten Jiang Baiwan, but he never thought that she would react like this. He was also dumbfounded for a while, but he kept his composure. “How do you want me to punish you?”

    OMG lol, did not expect this to happen… Hm, my guess is the ML would say something like the FL receiving/spending money, but the FL is going to suggest something from the books she read. Maybe giving a kiss or doing a date night?

    I think an excellent punishment is to “force” JBW to a spiritual retreat in a 5-star hotel with an attached spa to adequately meditate on her wrong actions for at least two weeks, obviously all paid for by JC.
    I would certainly take this punishment very much to heart as it would certainly help me reflect on my future actions (like doing something similar once or twice a year, because paid holidays – er, spiritual retreats of repentance are very good for the soul)
