"Miss, please think twice, don't scare this old servant."

Qiu Popo broke out in a cold sweat: "Although Qin Chuan has amazing potential, whether he can grow or not is still unknown. Miss must not place her bet on him."

"Granny Qiu, don't be nervous. I was just speaking casually."

Jiang Banxia smiled and said, "I won't forget what responsibilities I'm carrying."

Hearing this, Granny Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted: "Miss, it's best to make such jokes less often in the future. This old servant would like to serve you for a few more years."

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

Jiang Banxia gently patted Granny Qiu's hand and softly said, "Granny, it's windy outside. You should go inside. I'll give Qin Chuan a call."

"As you command." Granny Qiu nodded and retreated slowly.

However, once inside, Granny Qiu's worry was thickly written between her brows.

Jiang Banxia was someone she had watched grow up.

She knew that Jiang Banxia wouldn't speak without purpose; her words just now weren't merely a joke.

Jiang Banxia had definitely seriously considered this issue.

She admitted that Qin Chuan was indeed extraordinarily talented, a standout among his peers.

But, presently, Qin Chuan was just a minor figure in Jiangcheng.

Even if he stood atop Jiangcheng, in Granny Qiu's eyes, he wasn't enough to be the person beside Jiang Banxia.

The responsibilities on Jiang Banxia destined her not to find an ordinary husband.

Her husband had to be someone who could provide her support.

Jiangcheng, after all, was just a small place.

To rule such a place was merely arrogance.

Compared to the stage that Jiang Banxia would step onto in the future, Jiangcheng was insignificant.

Granny Qiu didn't expect that Jiang Banxia would consider a young man of humble origins in Jiangcheng so seriously.

"Miss, if only you were a normal person, how wonderful that would be." Granny Qiu was filled with melancholy.

On the other hand, after much hesitation, Jiang Banxia finally dialed Qin Chuan's number.

"Miss Jiang, you still dare to contact me?" Qin Chuan feigned a still angry tone, full of fury.

"It seems Mr. Qin is not satisfied with my arrangements today?" Jiang Banxia feigned ignorance.

"Satisfied? How could I be satisfied?"

Qin Chuan burst out: "I had already taken off my pants, and your people kicked open the door. If I end up with some condition, you damn well better take full responsibility!"

Qin Chuan, rarely angry, had displayed all the fury he could.

But he felt awkward after hearing it himself, unlike his usual style.

However, given the situation, to help Li Qinyi, he had no choice but to press on.

"Mr. Qin, don't misunderstand. To be honest, Qinyi is my cousin, and I did this to protect her."

Jiang Banxia calmly explained: "When my people realized that the water in the room was drugged, to ensure her safety and yours, they were forced to break in. I hope Mr. Qin understands."

She didn't mention anything about the room's cameras, pushing all the blame on the drugged bottled water.

As for who drugged it, Jiang Banxia wouldn't stupidly admit.

So, an unnamed person had to take the fall.

"With acting skills like that, not entering the acting industry is a waste."

Qin Chuan secretly complained, then feigned suspicion: "You're not lying to me?"

"The worm on my face still relies on Mr. Qin for treatment; how dare I deceive you?" Jiang Banxia said with a straight face.

"If that's the case, let's not make it a habit."

Qin Chuan offered her a way out, then slyly hinted: "Secretary Li wasn't too frightened, was she? A charming girl like her, she better not be too scared."

"Qinyi is fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Qin." Jiang Banxia said politely.

"As long as she's fine."

Qin Chuan nodded, continuing: "By the way, I remembered something. Although I neutralized the drugs in her system, some issues might still remain. So, have her find some time to come by in the next few days, and I'll help her with some recuperation."

This was, of course, deliberately said by Qin Chuan.

His goal was to make Jiang Banxia think he was thinking of Li Qinyi.

"Well..."

Jiang Banxia hesitated.

That thing of Qin Chuan's had indeed left a huge shadow on her.

Even now, she occasionally recalled the tent in Qin Chuan's pants.

"What, does Miss Jiang think I'm fooling you?" Qin Chuan's tone darkened, giving Jiang Banxia no opportunity to refuse.

"No."

Jiang Banxia explained: "With Mr. Qin offering help, I'm naturally very grateful. I thank Mr. Qin on Qinyi's behalf for your kindness, but she was indeed a bit startled today, so I have to discuss this with her first."

"Alright, since Miss Jiang says so, I'll wait for good news."

With that, Qin Chuan voluntarily hung up the phone, then let out a heavy sigh of relief.

"Lying really isn't something just anyone can do." Qin Chuan thought, feeling relieved that he had managed to muddle through today's matters.

Next, he just needed to find a chance to meet Li Qinyi once more, and he should be able to help her fully resolve the current troubles.

Of course, a room still had to be booked.

After all, Qin Chuan couldn't guarantee that Jiang Banxia wouldn't send someone to track them.

So, the room had to be booked, but the hotel had to be of his own choosing, giving Jiang Banxia no chance to install cameras.

When the time came, they would complete today's original script, and everything would be solved.

After fooling Jiang Banxia, Qin Chuan secretly updated Li Qinyi on the situation, reminding her to cooperate with him.

"Okay, when President Jiang asks me, I'll just tell him I'm willing to go with you." Li Qinyi snuggled into her bed, a trace of persistent happiness on her face.

"Speak properly, what's with 'going with me'? He said he's helping you with your health." Qin Chuan corrected her earnestly.

"Alright, alright, health recuperation."

Li Qinyi's smile grew more radiant, then she had a sudden thought and hinted: "Make sure to find a nice hotel, okay? I like bigger beds and cleaner environments, definitely don't choose some cheap motel."

"Why so many demands for just a performance piece? Why spend lavishly?" Qin Chuan complained.

"Fine, I'll pay for the room if needed, but find a nice hotel, aim for something over a thousand yuan!" Li Qinyi insisted.

"So picky, it's just an act, where do all these demands come from? Whatever, since you're paying, it's your call." Qin Chuan responded impatiently.

Li Qinyi pouted, looking at the messages on her phone, coyly saying: "Qin Chuan! You blockhead! Can't you take a hint? Who's here to act with you? I'm going there to sleep with you! To sleep with you!!!"
