Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 190 - 190 190 Scheming

?Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Scheming Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Scheming In the garden, after Ji Xinghang left, Bo Xiangxiang appeared in front of Shi Ji.

There was no live broadcast here, so she wasn’t afraid.

When Shi Ji saw Bo Xiangxiang appear, he looked up coldly at her.

Bo Xiangxiang gazed at Shi Ji with affection, “Ah Ji, did you come especially to see me?”

Then she took the initiative to sit close to Shi Ji, not noticing the inexplicable look that flashed in the other’s eyes.

She whispered, “I won’t tell anyone about you changing your name.”

Earlier, she had accidentally seen the name Shi Ji on a medical record.

Shi Ji, who had just been about to get up and leave, stopped upon hearing this.

“Mm, thanks a lot!”

Bo Xiangxiang gave him a flirtatious smile, “With the relationship between us, do we still need to say thanks?”

Shi Ji got goosebumps from that look of hers.

He asked indifferently, “What relationship do we have, exactly?”

Bo Xiangxiang’s face turned red, and she gave him another displeased look, “Don’t be like that, we’ve already been intimate as husband and wife, and you still intentionally ask this.”

Shi Ji: “…”

He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, “Well, I came here for medical treatment this time.”

Bo Xiangxiang immediately looked at him with concern, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!”

Shi Ji replied, “It’s just like what Luo Ning said, I’ve been feeling uncomfortable in my heart.”

Hearing this, Bo Xiangxiang asked worriedly, “That won’t cause any problems, will it?”

“Luo Ning is quite skilled in medicine; she should be able to cure me,” said Shi Ji, his eyes warm as he brought up Luo Ning.

Bo Xiangxiang didn’t notice his gaze, “That’s good.”

His identity was no simple matter; after running away from the deserted island last time, he had returned this time with the status of a listed company’s CEO. She couldn’t let go.

The reason she knew Shi Ji’s current identity was that she had just been reading comments under the official variety show’s Weibo on her phone.

Someone had explained Shi Ji’s identity, the youngest investment genius abroad, CEO of a listed company, just returned from overseas.

He was also gradually relocating his industries to China, focusing more on developing here in the future.

Some even dug up that Shi Ji’s father was a noble from a country in Europe, with an exceptionally powerful family.

She did like Shi Ji quite a bit, and with him back now, he would be able to support her in the future, so naturally, she hoped his illness would be cured.

However, she was not satisfied with the person treating him.

Then she tentatively asked, “Ah Ji, are you really high school classmates with Luo Ning?”

“Mm,” Shi Ji nodded.

“How come I didn’t know? Are you very close to her?” Bo Xiangxiang wasn’t too happy about this detail.

Shi Ji replied, “We just know each other, what about it?”

Bo Xiangxiang pouted and said, “I don’t like Luo Ning, she’s too pretentious, you better not be fooled by her.”

She couldn’t let Shi Ji interact too much with Luo Ning; what if that woman managed to seduce him away?

Even though she didn’t think Shi Ji could resist her own charm, men always liked a bit of a thrill, so she had to be cautious.

“I told you on the island, she often bullied me, intentionally stealing my thunder.”

“When the place you guys were in was raided, I was always worried for you. Now that I see you’ve come back safely, I can finally be at ease.”

A flash of coldness swept through Shi Ji’s eyes, and he asked with an unchanged expression, “So, what do you want to do?”

Bo Xiangxiang suggested, “I’ve never heard of Luo Ning knowing any medical skills before, maybe you should let Dean Xu treat you instead.”

Shi Ji sighed, “I just asked Dean Xu, and he said that only Luo Ning is confident in treating my condition, so it can’t be changed.”

Seeing that he had no intention of switching from Luo Ning, Bo Xiangxiang was quite unhappy inside, though her face still wore a smile.

“Then you go ahead and treat Luo Ning, I just want you to be healthy,” she said thoughtfully.

She really did want him to recover his health.

Shi Ji chuckled, “You’re really sweet!”

Bo Xiangxiang gave him an annoyed look, “Why don’t you call me Xiangxiang anymore?”

Then she leaned in closer, her voice tinged with a hint of seduction, “I just like it when you call me that.”

Shi Ji immediately stood up and dodged her advancing body.

Realizing his movement was too abrupt, he began to cough.

He explained, “Sorry, I’ve developed an allergy to perfume recently, I start coughing whenever I smell it.”

Bo Xiangxiang had deliberately sprayed perfume on herself before coming over, and now she couldn’t help but regret it, wishing she hadn’t sprayed it.

“It’s fine, then I won’t come close to you,” she said.

Shi Ji asked, “Is there anything else?”

Bo Xiangxiang asked unhappily, “Can’t I come to see you if there’s nothing wrong? You seem a bit off today.”

The more she watched, the stranger Shi Ji seemed. He used to be so passionate about her, as if he couldn’t wait to devour her at a glance,
and he always carried a certain wicked air about him, which she liked. But today he was too indifferent, and not nearly as warm toward her.

Shi Ji responded, “I’m afraid people will see us and gossip, which wouldn’t be good for you.”

“Plus, you know my identity and I don’t want it to affect you.”

Bo Xiangxiang thought that made sense, after all, his identity wasn’t just limited to being a CEO, so being cautious was not wrong.

“Ah Ji, that Luo Ning is still bullying me, isolating me with those other two women. You have to help me,” she said.

Shi Ji asked, “What do you want me to do?”

Bo Xiangxiang’s mind spun, “Ah Ji, how about you pretend to chase after Luo Ning, and once you’re better, you can publicly dump her.”

If Shi Ji inevitably had to interact with Luo Ning, it was better to let him play a game with her.

As long as she got Luo Ning to fall for him, she could expose their relationship.

And after he dumped Luo Ning, not only would netizens look down on Luo Ning, but it would also show Lu God and Ji Xinghang that she wasn’t as good as they imagined.

Shi Ji’s eyes narrowed, the chill in his gaze deepening, but he responded with a smile, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

When Bo Xiangxiang stood up and looked his way, Shi Ji had already concealed the expression in his eyes, leaving only a smile.

Her face flushed, “Ah Ji, you’re so good to me.”

Just then, someone approached their way.

Bo Xiangxiang and Shi Ji exchanged greetings and then she quickly left.

If Shi Ji didn’t hold the identity of the leader of the International Black Alliance, she wouldn’t mind openly showing off their relationship.

But with that shadowy identity, she was not going to openly date him.

Otherwise, if his identity were uncovered domestically someday, she could also be implicated.

Having him love and protect her from behind was enough for her.

Shi Ji watched Bo Xiangxiang’s retreating figure thoughtfully and also left after a while.

On the other hand, Luo Ning and Lu Xun had found Dean Xu.

The two expressed their willingness to join the National Treasure Chinese Hospital, much to Dean Xu’s delight.

“Good, our Chinese Hospital is lacking young talents like you with a spirit of exploration,” he said.

Then they filled out a form, and after the records were taken care of, they became members of the National Treasure Chinese Hospital.

After chatting for a while, Luo Ning directly asked, “Dean Xu, the National Treasure Chinese Hospital cultivates a lot of aged medicinal herbs. Do you sell them to the public?”

Dean Xu answered, “Such aged medicinal materials are hard to come by, so we do not sell them to the public.”

“Why do you ask?” he inquired in return.
