Chapter 40: Really?

Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Really?

Except for Chen Nan and Xiaoyao, who had somewhat flickering eyes, everyone else looked at Lin Xi as if he were an idiot. How could you ask such a question?

"Kid, are you out of your mind?" Bai Xingye stood in front of Xiaoyao, angrily shouting at Lin Xi. If his sister weren’t here, he would have already lost his patience with this construction worker.

"Call me brother-in-law," Lin Xi corrected.

Bai Xingye was practically exploding with anger, but seeing his sister standing motionless beside Lin Xi, he deflated like a punctured balloon, unable to vent his anger.

"Isn’t this a bit inappropriate?" Bai Bing also felt Lin Xi’s questions were a bit excessive and whispered a suggestion.

Lin Xi shook his head insistently, "Appropriate, very appropriate. There’s nothing more appropriate than these questions."

Seeing Lin Xi so certain, Bai Bing didn’t say anything further.

Moreover, she didn’t know why, but she had an inexplicable trust in Lin Xi, feeling that he must have a significant reason for asking these questions.

"I think we should change the questions. These are private matters concerning Xingye and Xiaoyao and shouldn’t be said in front of others," Chen Nan interjected, aligning with Bai Xingye.

Bai Xingye looked grateful upon hearing that, feeling annoyed that his sister would believe the nonsense of this bastard, Lin Xi.

"Xingye, you answer honestly," Bai Bing said coldly. Since she supported Lin Xi in asking these questions, they would definitely continue.

Bai Xingye became stubborn, pretending not to hear with his head down.

"Xiaobing, what are you afraid of her for? It’s not like we’re hiding anything," Xiaoyao stood out, feeling embarrassed by Bai Xingye’s behavior, and complained.

"If they’re that eager to know, let’s just tell them."

"Xiaoyao, this is between the two of us. How could we let others know so shamelessly?" Bai Xingye seemed a bit afraid of Xiaoyao and advised.

"Your girlfriend isn’t afraid, and you’re embarrassed?" Bai Bing teased with annoyance.

Bai Xingye, having grown up under his sister’s ’influence,’ was provoked into thinking that, even if it got out, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

"Xiaoyao and I started dating last week. We’re genuinely in love and have never thought about anything else. We want our first time to be on our wedding day." Despite gaining courage, Bai Xingye was still somewhat embarrassed.

"Oh? So, nothing has happened between the two of you?" Lin Xi asked thoughtfully.

"Yes," Bai Xingye replied.

Chen Nan’s expression changed slightly, remembering this person’s extraordinary medical skills and wondering if he had seen something.

Bai Bing also looked at Lin Xi thoughtfully, sensing that his questions had an underlying intention, and the last remark seemed to imply something.

Lin Xi stepped forward, patting Bai Xingye’s shoulder, "Little brother, I believe you’re still a virgin, but your girlfriend isn’t what you think."

"What do you mean?" Bai Xingye, not brainless, had never considered such things, angrily questioned.

"What do I mean?" Lin Xi thought for a moment and continued, "You should know the ’Four Diagnostic Methods’ of traditional Chinese medicine: observation, listening, interrogation, and palpation. Your girlfriend lost it long ago. If you don’t believe me, you can ask."

Hearing this, Bai Xingye’s face went pale. Xiaoyao had told him she was experiencing her first love, and her first time would always be for him.

Now, someone suddenly says your girlfriend lost hers long ago.

And this person, though he didn’t like him, was more skilled than even the Divine Doctor. He had witnessed it entirely that night.

"Xiaoyao, is what he’s saying true?" Bai Xingye hoped Xiaoyao would deny it.

But the unnatural expression on Xiaoyao’s face was noticed by Bai Bing, who asked sharply, "You’d better answer honestly. You know the influence of the Bai family. We’ll know the truth from the lies with a little investigation. If we find out you’re deceiving us, you’ll bear the consequences."

At this moment, Bai Bing exuded her CEO aura, which was so overpowering that everyone except Lin Xi and Chen Nan felt suffocated.

Xiaoyao, initially planning to say something, was interrupted by Bai Bing and subconsciously looked at Chen Nan, as if seeking his advice.

But at this moment, Chen Nan ignored her, pretending not to see.

Lin Xi saw this scene and felt there was something unusual about their relationship.

"If you can’t say it, I’ll say it." After all, Bai Xingye was going to be his brother-in-law one day, Lin Xi continued.

"You contracted an STD and still have the face to say you have nothing? And if I’m not mistaken, it’s happened multiple times."

"Huh, how do you know? You..." Xiaoyao blurted out, then realized she misspoke and tried to act calm, "Why are you doing this to me? Did I offend you? Why do you slander me? Xingye, you must believe me. I truly love you, you’re my only one, and don’t listen to their nonsense."

At this moment, Bai Xingye looked utterly devastated, unable to believe it.

"We’ll find out if it’s true by going to the hospital," Bai Bing said coldly. Fortunately, she brought Lin Xi this time, or else her brother would still be in the dark.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xingye, like grabbing for the last straw, looked hopefully at his girlfriend Xiaoyao.

Xiaoyao dared not go to the hospital. She was inherently a promiscuous woman, approaching Bai Xingye under someone’s orders; otherwise, she would never care about someone like him.

"If you want to go, go yourself." Seeing that it was no longer concealable, Xiaoyao pushed Bai Xingye away, glared fiercely at Lin Xi, and fled through the crowd in panic.

Seeing this, everyone looked at Lin Xi differently.

Bai Xingye almost broke down entirely, looking fright-pale, and said nothing.

"Xingye, don’t get discouraged. There are plenty of good girls out there. You can always find another one," Chen Nan was quick to console him.

"Yes, yes, Brother Nan is right."

"With the young master Bai’s status, aren’t good girls lining up to be with him?"

"Yes, girls like Xiaoyao are better off cut off sooner rather than later."

...

"Alright, don’t overthink it. Come home tonight, and I’ve got something to tell you," Bai Bing said, pulling Bai Xingye close, nodding toward Lin Xi in gratitude.

"How about this, since everyone’s at the court, how can we not play?" Chen Nan proposed, looking at Bai Xingye again, "Xingye, come on, relax a bit."

Bai Xingye nodded, and Chen Nan then said to Bai Bing, "Xiaobing, you haven’t played with me for a long time. No matter what, we have to have a game this time."

"No need." Bai Bing wanted to leave immediately if she weren’t worried about her brother.

She also invited Lin Xi, but Lin Xi said he couldn’t play and declined.

At this point, Chen Nan received a call. He checked the caller ID, apologized to everyone, and went to the side to answer.

"Brother Nan, about the money..." came a female voice from the other end.

Chen Nan frowned, replied impatiently, "You’re not short of any, I’ll talk to you when I get back."

"By the way, keep your mouth shut, or don’t blame me for being rude."

"Alright, alright, rest assured, Brother Nan. I’ll wait for you at the hotel tonight, in the usual room."

...

"So that’s how it is." Lin Xi muttered under his breath. The caller talking to Chen Nan was Xiaoyao. He thought nobody would hear since he whispered and was at a certain distance.

But for someone like Lin Xi, even twice the distance would be no problem if he wanted to hear.
