Chapter 186: Big Brother is Very Doting on His Sister-in-Law

dy suspicious. Now that Tang Yu had gone to him, it must be something serious."Miss Qiao, is your ankle from last time still alright" A voice, young and sweet, rang out from above her.Jo Bao'er raised..."My brother really likes my sister-in-law..."

"Yes, so Zhīyan you must be careful, don't upset your sister-in-law... otherwise your brother will be angry."

After lunch, on the lazy weekend holiday, a few of them went for a leisurely stroll in Jun's backyard garden. Qiao Baier, holding a fishhook with excitement, went to tease the fish in the pond. She caught sight of two women by the pavilion who seemed to be chatting very intimately.

She didn't know what Xia Chuixue and Jun Zhiyan were talking about, she just felt that when Jun Zhiyan looked back at her, there was something strange in her eyes.

Jo Bao'er didn't have much impression of Jun Zhiyan, she just thought she was introverted. She originally wanted to get closer to her, but they all said that she was too domineering and wouldn't let her scare Jun Zhiyan.

Jo Baoer was very upset. How did I scare her

Before, Tang Yu was also introverted, ah why would this be so.

Scattering the fishing bait into the pond, several energetic fish leaped out of the water to snatch it, creating splashes and ripples. Qiao Bao'er found it quite entertaining, her eyes twinkling with amusement as she tossed the bait to another corner with a mischievous grin.

Thinking wickedly, it's really satisfying to see others working themselves to the bone.

Qiao Bao'er was childish. She stretched out her fair neck and peered into the pool, her eyes narrowed as she stared at the fish. A sly smile curled up the corners of her lips as she amused herself by teasing them.

"She could play all day by herself..."

Behind her, a low and familiar voice came faintly. Qiao Bao'er was startled, turning her head to see Jun Zhimu walking towards her. Her cheeks gradually flushed slightly, perhaps because of the afternoon sun, or perhaps it was the smirk on Jun Zhimu's face.

This one glance made her heart beat a little faster.

Qiao Bao'er took a step and subconsciously walked towards him. However, the pool had no railings, and there were round, smooth pebbles of various sizes at her feet. Her foot slipped, and her body became unsteady.

The figure in front was startled and immediately ran over quickly. Qiao Bao'er wasn't so weak either; she straightened her body slightly and waved her hand, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Walk seriously." Junzhi Mu stood in front of her, staring at her with a grave expression.

Jun Zhi's way of teaching her was quite special, for example, walking seriously, eating seriously... It seemed like he needed to keep an eye on her all the time.

"You think I'm just being childish all the time Well, actually, I think I'm pretty useful..."

To even say she's useful.

He was truly exasperated by her, Jun Zhimu supported her, lowering his gaze to look at her slightly flushed cheek. He wanted to continue lecturing her, but he couldn't help but smile.

"Don't get too close to the pond."

Jo Bao'er felt embarrassed under his gaze and nodded honestly, "Oh."

Lu Qinan walked slowly behind them, his eyes full of gossip. He gave them a meaningful and ambiguous smile, feeling that this unscrupulous couple was quite loving.

Master Jun was also walking along the corridor and happened to glance back.

Who is staring at me

Not sure if she was overthinking it, Qiao Baier suddenly became instinctively alert. Her face grew serious, and she narrowed her eyes, scanning the surroundings.

"What are you looking at"

"No, nothing..." Facing Jun Zhi牧's inquiry, she couldn't tell him the reason.

She always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her intensely lately...

Jun Zhimu saw her young face slightly pensive, thinking about something. He wanted to ask another question, but at that moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from the vice president of the group, who must have something urgent to discuss.

He let go of her, turned and took two steps away before pressing the answer button. "What is it"

As for matters concerning the corporation and all the tedious details, Jun Zhimu instinctively kept her out of it. He had said that she wasn't his subordinate and didn't need to know.

The more a person grows up, the more they learn, and therefore the more troubles they have.

He said he didn't want her to know too much, domineering and authoritarian, that was how Junzhi Mu protected a person in his own special way.

Qiao Baoer looked at his handsome profile, her heart was in turmoil.

She stood quietly to the side, not going forward to disturb him. She couldn't understand what Jun Zhimu was saying on the phone to the other party, but judging by Jun Zhimu's cold and stern tone, he seemed rather annoyed.

Who angered him

Lu Qinan was originally standing at a distance watching the gossip. Xia Chuixue at the pavilion seemed to have received some news and hurried over to them.

"What's wrong" Lu Qinan frowned and asked, no longer in the mood to be idle.

"Mo Gao rejected the investment from &am;am; Group."

Xia Chui Xue's face was a mixture of surprise and irony. To actually reject an investment from the &am;am; Group, was she against money or did she have ulterior motives

"Lu Qinan couldn't help but sneer, "Is Mo Gao out of his mind"

Over the past six months, Mo Gao has launched several new projects that have amazed the industry. Last week, he officially unveiled a new project focused on renewable energy. As everyone knows, the renewable energy sector is notoriously difficult to break into, with high investment and slow returns. However, Mo Gao is riding high on success, and it's been rumored that he has put his entire fortune into this venture. This has left the industry curious about his financing strategy.

He actually rejected the investment from the most powerful &am;am; Group. I have no idea what he's up to.

Xia Chui Xue, this executive wasn't just for show. She quickly felt something was off. "Last time, Zhi Mu asked us to thoroughly investigate all of Mo Gao's investment projects, especially the list of partners he collaborated with…"

"Having said that, she paused, her gaze locked onto Lu Qinan. "Qinan, to be frank, is there any personal grudge between Zhi Mu and Mo Gao"

"You can't find anything."

Lu Qinan wore a sullen expression, slightly agitated. Last time Jun Zhimu had gone ballistic in the office, ordering his subordinates to dig up Mo Gao's past, but they found nothing. All data was perfectly normal.

Lu Qinan didn't speak, but Xia Chui Xue could also sense something was wrong. "Mo Gao Ming is obviously unwilling to let Zhi Mu invest in his new project. There must be something fishy going on..."

While they were talking, Junzhi Mu had already hung up the phone.

Lu Qinian and Xia Chuixue looked at each other, hesitating whether to go forward and say something. In fact, many things they didn't need to say, Jun Zhumu understood them better than they did.

"What did you see when you were looking around just now"

Jun Zhimu put away his phone, as if those official duties had been handled just now. Turning to Qiao Baier behind him, he asked about something else in a very nonchalant manner.

Qiao Bao'er was taken aback by the question, "Nothing."

"If there's anything, just ask the butlers," Hearing this, Jun Zhi Mu didn't take it to heart too much. His gaze softened as he looked at her, wearing a loose and comfortable maternity dress, her protruding belly nurturing their child.

"I won't be home for dinner tonight. Get some rest early."

He naturally looped his arm around her shoulders, his cool lips gently kissing her forehead and murmuring softly.

"Oh." Qiao Bao'er blushed when she came to her senses.

Junzhi's shepherd wasn't a man of tender sentiments, wouldn't say too many sweet nothings. He said one and walked with big strides toward the gate of Jun's house.

The bodyguard moved swiftly to the garage to get the car. Lu Qinan and Xia Chuixue also hurried after them. Seeing them all in a hurry, Qiao Baier frowned, "What happened"

What happened

Everything is pretty much alright, quite ingenious...

Just as Jun Zhi牧 and their car were about to leave the Jun family gate, Qiao Baobao was standing by the pond thinking about something when suddenly a force struck her from behind.

She had no idea what was happening at all. She leaned forward and with a splash, Qiao Bao'er fell into the water... parked there until she stepped away and disappeared from view. Ten minutes later, the light in apartment 402 flickered on. Tang Yu came back to his senses, his blue eyes drooping slightly, before sta...
