The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Chapter 14 A New Understanding and Perception
Patiently wait for Jiang Baohai to finish eating two bowls of rice.

I estimate he should be almost full.

Gao Qinghe put down her teacup, stood up, and said to Jiang Baohai, somewhat embarrassed:
"I asked you to meet me again today. I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to come and apologize to you in person."

what?
She apologized?
Jiang Baohai almost spat out the soup he had just drunk!
Of course, he swallowed it.

Gao Qinghe lifted her bangs, revealing the bruises that hadn't yet faded.

"I had a minor accident and was hospitalized on the day we made plans, so I couldn't make it and made you wait all day. I'm very sorry, and I hope you can give us another chance to get to know each other again."

Gao Qinghe spoke earnestly.

Jiang Baohai found the bruise on her forehead glaringly obvious.

This injury doesn't look fake.

So, the reason she stood him up in her past life wasn't because she still had a lover in her heart.

Or was he injured and hospitalized?
Gao Qinghe winked at her younger brother.

Gao Qingmiao quickly put down her rice bowl and handed over the gift she had just casually placed on the stool.

Gao Qinghe walked to Jiang Baohai's side.

She presented him with the gift she had carefully prepared.

Her eyes were filled with the shyness of a young woman as she gazed into his eyes.

"This is the gift I prepared for you."

Jiang Baohai's probing eyes swept over her delicate, white face.

Suddenly, I became alert.

Apologizing and giving gifts—is this really the Gao Qinghe he knows?

"Thank you."

Jiang Baohai couldn't resist his curiosity and accepted the gift.

The weight of the object made him frown.

Bricks?

He glanced at Gao Qinghe suspiciously; the woman was actually looking at him expectantly.

It is very impolite to open a gift in front of the person who gave it.

But Gao Qinghe seemed to be really looking forward to him opening it right away.

I was on high alert.

Jiang Baohai tore open the colorful packaging paper.

The two large, gilded characters of the Criminal Law immediately caught his eye!

"Heh~" Jiang Baohai laughed at himself in anger.

He actually hoped to receive a sincere apology as a gift.

Jiang Baohai threw the Criminal Law, which could kill someone, onto the table.

"Thank you, but you should take it back and see for yourself."

If it weren't for her surprised expression, Jiang Baohai would have been suspicious.

This woman, who met such a terrible end, already knew that he had also been reborn.

That's why I deliberately chose this gift to mock him.

The gift was returned, and Gao Qinghe felt awkward for only a moment before returning to her seat.

With a smile on his face, he subtly pulled the criminal law book off the table.

Forwarded to Gao Qingmiao.

"Go back and read more books. Once you've thoroughly understood the contents of this book, you'll succeed at whatever you do," she whispered to him.

Gao Qingmiao nodded blankly, "Oh."

Jiang Baohai frowned. She actually gave away the things she gave him to someone else?!

"Put it back." Jiang Baohai suddenly shouted.

The siblings exclaimed in unison, "Huh?"

Jiang Baohai took a deep breath, suppressing the inexplicable irritation in his heart.

He tilted his chin towards Gao Qingmiao's chest and said, "Put it back!"

Gao Qingmiao realized what was happening and quickly and obediently put the Criminal Law back on the table.

God knows why he was a little afraid of this Boss Jiang who always seemed to be smiling.

Gao Qinghe found it amusing.

She knew it! No man could resist the gifts she gave him!

Jiang Baohai caught a glimpse of Gao Qinghe's secretly smug expression.

My irritability worsened.

Gao Qinghe felt that Jiang Baohai had accepted the gift.

Let's put an end to the matter of standing someone up before.

Jiang Baohai wiped his mouth with a napkin, leaned back in his chair, casually rested his hands on the armrests, and slightly raised his chin, as if waiting for her to speak.

He immediately took the initiative to start today's topic. She glanced at him quickly, as if embarrassed, then lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.

"Mr. Jiang, I think you're quite satisfied. What about you? What do you think of me?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head slightly, revealing a section of her slender neck.

As if unable to withstand his gaze, the skin on her neck slowly turned pink.

Her high bun still had many loose strands of hair that couldn't be gathered up, nestled fluffily in the nape of her neck, making one unable to resist imagining the soft, fragrant warmth within.

Jiang Baohai narrowed his eyes slightly.

It’s this trick again!

He fell for her tricks in his past life because he didn't understand her methods.

If I'm ever manipulated by the same methods again in this lifetime...

He wrote the three characters "Jiang Baohai" backwards!

He changed from a lazy lying posture to crossing his legs and crossing his arms in front of his chest, like he was interviewing an employee.

"Can you cook?"

Gao Qingmiao thought her eldest sister was doomed.

When his parents and grandmother are not home, he and his younger sister take turns cooking for their older sister.

All she's good at is burning down kitchens; she can't cook any kind of food.

Gao Qinghe coughed twice, "I can eat."

Jiang Baohai was not surprised by her answer.

However, he deliberately showed a dissatisfied expression.

"What about washing clothes and doing housework? Women should know how to do those too, right?"

Gao Qingmiao secretly felt a pang of worry for her eldest sister.

His older sister is a useless person who can't take care of herself.

Without him and my little sister, I don't even know when I'd starve to death at home.

Gao Qinghe took a deep breath. "If you like women who can do laundry and housework, I can learn."

Gao Qingmiao turned her back and secretly wiped her face.

His older sister's lie made him uneasy.

But Mr. Jiang should believe it, right?
Fearing Jiang Baohai might ask more questions, Gao Qinghe didn't give him a chance to speak this time, and preemptively said:

"Now that we know each other well, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get our marriage certificate before the staff goes home."

Jiang Baohai couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

Gao Qinghe's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she laughed, and her pretty face fell.

He then clenched his fist to his lips, coughing as he tried to control himself.

If it weren't for the fear of revealing that he had been reborn.

Jiang Baohai really wanted to watch her continue to act like she was about to explode but was stubbornly holding back for a little longer.

He stood up and wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes.

"There's no rush to get a marriage certificate. We've only met for the first time today, and you don't know what kind of person I am."

Jiang Baohai said, "Let's get to know each other better before making a decision. What do you think, Miss Gao Qinghe?"

Gao Qinghe forced a smile, "No problem."

There was no trace of impatience or anger left.

Even if they are two parallel universes with exactly the same background.

Because of the different choices made by the characters, the story will lead to completely different endings.

The present and the past are different in terms of time, place, and people.

So she could completely understand why the outcome was different from her previous life.

However, this meeting wasn't a wasted trip.

Gao Qinghe now has a completely new understanding and perception of Jiang Baohai, who is 25 years old.

She quickly adjusted her mindset and decided to go back and revise the plan.

Gao Qinghe pulled her younger brother in front of Jiang Baohai and actively promoted him.

I need to bring either the marriage certificate or the contract back with me today.

Gao Qinghe's actions were completely unexpected by Gao Qingmiao.

Seeing how capable and ambitious her older sister was, he suppressed his unease.

He stood straight in front of Jiang Baohai, feigning composure.

Jiang Baohai thought Gao Qinghe would be disappointed for a while.

Unexpectedly, in less than three seconds, she reverted to her profit-driven nature.

They were single-mindedly trying to climb over him to get ahead.

He cursed inwardly: Why doesn't God send down a lightning bolt to kill her!
