Pampered By My Fake Boyfriend's Brother-Chapter 500: To Fight or Not to Fight

"What do you want to ask?" Bao Shaojin saw through the little girl’s thoughts, and he had already guessed what she wanted to ask.

Encouraged by the man, An Yin asked, "Assistant Lin, is my mom okay?" Yesterday, Assistant Lin had taken Ms. An home, and after Ms. An got home that evening, she sent a WeChat message to her. At that time, An Yin was already lying in bed, glanced at it, but didn’t reply.

Her feelings were complicated.

She loved Ms. An very much, but she also yearned for fatherly love. Under the impact of these two feelings, her mind always mixed with some negative emotions when facing Ms. An.

Assistant Lin was driving, looking straight ahead. Upon hearing An Miss’s words, he straightened up and said, "Rest assured, Ms. An is fine. When I took her upstairs, she even asked me to bring some of your luggage and stuff, which is in the trunk. I’ll get them for you later."

"Okay, thank you."

Assistant Lin’s words warmed An Yin’s heart.

The car still stopped at the usual place.

Now it’s rush hour, and there are quite a few people at the school gate. To avoid being seen, An Yin got off at a secluded spot. When Assistant Lin led her to the trunk, An Yin saw the heavy bags and was momentarily dazed.

Seeing An Miss’s stunned expression, Assistant Lin laughed and said, "There are quite a lot of things, why don’t you take some this time and the rest next time?"

Given the situation, that’s all she could do, "Alright."

Assistant Lin took out two bulging plastic bags from inside. An Yin took them, originally wanting to take more, but found that Assistant Lin had already closed the trunk and couldn’t say what she intended.

Never mind, I’ll just take more trips.

Before leaving, An Yin approached the car window of the back seat. At some point, the window had been rolled down. She glimpsed the man’s cold and proud profile and said hesitantly, "I have a lot of stuff, I can’t take it all at once. Can you keep the rest with you?"

An Yin asked cautiously, her heart racing, both nervous and hopeful.

"Sure." Bao Shaojin gazed coldly ahead, a subtle undercurrent flowing through his eyes.

"Then I’ll be off, goodbye."

"Remember to take your medicine."

Just as An Yin was about to turn away, the man reminded her.

"Oh."

An Yin nodded.

After she walked away, the man’s car still didn’t leave.

In the back seat, the man somehow had a cigarette in his hand. After taking a puff, his eyes gazed through the smoke outside the car window towards the walls of T University, a few meters away, where the little girl was studying.

Assistant Lin returned to the driver’s seat. Smelling the smoke in the air, his expression remained the same.

During this period, Mr. Bao couldn’t be separated from cigarettes and alcohol. Previously, Mr. Bao wasn’t like this, but since the appearance of An Miss, many of Mr. Bao’s rules had been broken one by one. Assistant Lin was no longer surprised.

A long while later, a cold voice sounded inside the car.

"You handled this matter well."

Upon hearing this, Assistant Lin stiffened as if greatly encouraged, and said excitedly, "Thank you, sir, for the compliment!" Mr. Bao and he both knew what he was referring to.

How could Ms. An have asked someone to bring so many things? The seemingly heavy bags in the trunk, in reality, only contained three bags belonging to An Yin, and the items inside were very light. The little girl could have taken them all back to school at once. Now leaving some behind in the car, doesn’t that give Mr. Bao an excuse to find her next time?

Assistant Lin did not expect his self-initiated actions to attract Mr. Bao’s attention and even earn his approval. He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his situation.

As Mr. Bao’s assistant, it wasn’t his work capability that garnered Mr. Bao’s praise, but rather helping Mr. Bao pursue a girl, which left him truly speechless.

During class that day, An Yin was somewhat absent-minded, and this state persisted until after class. She even forgot to have dinner at the cafeteria, heading straight to the dormitory after leaving the classroom.

After closing the door, she took her phone to the desk, staring at "someone" in her contacts, her eyes shining brightly.

Every time the screen was about to go dark, she couldn’t help but tap it with her finger.

"To call or not to call?" An Yin took a sip from a water cup on the desk, her face full of confusion.

At that moment, she seemed as if countless ants were crawling inside her, making her heart itch unbearably.

When Shi Qing pushed the door open, she heard An Yin continuously mumbling this question, her entire being twisted uncomfortably on the desk.

Seeing her immersed in her world, Shi Qing asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"Shi Qing, why are you back?" An Yin looked at her in surprise, and only after asking did she realize how silly the question was.

"Came back to get something." Shi Qing noticed the anxiety in An Yin’s eyes, "You seem troubled?"

"Yeah." An Yin nodded, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she looked at Shi Qing eagerly, "Can I ask you a question?"

An Yin quickly sat up straight, her round eyes staring unblinkingly at Shi Qing, looking very serious.

Curiosity flickered across Shi Qing’s calm face, seeing An Yin’s dramatic expression, she guessed it wasn’t a simple matter, "Ask away."

Shi Qing took a few steps, sat down at her desk, habitually adjusted her glasses, and then looked up at An Yin.

An Yin racked her brains on how to broach the subject.

As for her relationship with "someone," without concrete evidence, she couldn’t outright declare that they were father and daughter.

After thinking it through, An Yin vaguely said, "If there’s someone very important to you, but they don’t know you exist, and you can’t wait to contact them, what would you do?"

An Yin’s words were very subtle. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

But the general meaning was quite clear.

Shi Qing, always smart, quickly grasped the main point from her few words: An Yin wanted to contact someone who didn’t know of her existence?

In such a case, Shi Qing first eliminated romance, after all, with An Yin’s looks, who could ignore her?

The other possibility, though, could it be familial ties? Shi Qing didn’t dare speculate recklessly, only thinking along the lines of An Yin’s words, and after a while, she calmly said, "If your contact won’t affect him or his family, then you can."

His family?

Hearing these words, the intense excitement in An Yin’s heart instantly cooled down.

Why hadn’t she thought of it? He might already have a happy and thriving family again.

Seeing An Yin’s dejected look, Shi Qing realized she might have been too blunt, "Are you okay?"
