A hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Fu Jiuxiao pursed his thin lips. “What are you doing?”

The driver, “...”

What did he just see?!

That girl... was taking off Ninth Master’s clothes?!

Was this something he should see?!

The driver looked terrified. He quickly opened the car door, and soon, only the two of them were left in the space.

“Ninth Master, you don’t think that I’m plotting something against you, do you?”

Jiang Li smiled. She was born beautiful, and her smile was even more dazzling. “Doctors are as good as parents. What is there to hide from your parents, Ninth Master?”

Fu Jiuxiao, “...”

While he was still in a daze, Jiang Li had already quickly pulled open his clothes. The silver needles pierced into the Shanzhong Acupoint accurately, and the needle pierced in. It was done in one go.

“Cough, cough...”

Maybe it was because of pain or anger, but Fu Jiaoxiao’s cough became more intense. It took a while for it to stop.

He lowered his head to look at the girl who was looking at him seriously. His grayish-blue eyes became much darker as if they were dyed with a layer of ink.

The girl had delicate features and a domineering personality. She seemed to care about him faintly in her cold actions, but it was as if she was a different person.

However, it was this part of her that made him... Even more unable to control himself.

The girl’s face was right in front of him, and her movements were so graceful. Fu Jiuxiao stared at her lips, which were always slight smiling, and bent down slightly—

At this moment, Jiang Li suddenly reached out to pull out the silver needle and put it back into her bag. Her actions were smooth and fluid as if she had repeated it a million times.

“Ninth Master, don’t be distracted.”

Jiang Li felt a faint breeze by her ear. She looked up doubtfully but did not see any transgression from the man.

Was she overthinking?

However, to be on the safe side, Jiang Li still stated, “Ninth Master should know that you and I are only in a marriage of convenience. However, just in case, we should still make a few rules.”

She raised three fingers. “Different rooms, no domestic violence, and no meddling in each other’s business. Do you have any objections? Tell me, and we can discuss.”

Fu Jiuxiao could not help but laugh.

He did not answer this question but slowly buttoned up his shirt. After the acupuncture treatment, the pain in his heart meridian was indeed alleviated quite a bit.

“I didn’t know... That you had such superb medical skills?”

Jiang Li had already known that he would have such a question. Hearing that, she shrugged slightly. “I had no choice. I just read some books and learned it.”

Fu Jiuxiao, “...”

...

After hitching a ride, Jiang Li successfully arrived at Yangming and went straight to the principal’s office. She lazily sat on the sofa and looked at the little bird outside the window with a smug look on her face.

“Who are you? This is not a place for students to enter?”The principal was very unhappy to see her.

Jiang Li still sat there without moving. She carried an experienced and domineering aura that did not match her age.

“Old Wu, right? This is a letter of recommendation.”

When Principal Wu heard a student call him that, strangely, he did not get angry anymore. As someone who was well-trained in the ways of the world, he knew that the girl in front of him was not simple.

He took the letter and looked at it. His expression immediately changed.

He glanced at Jiang Li again. She was wearing a loose school uniform, which made her look skinny and petite. Her skin was so fair that it made her look weak and slender. It made her seem like she did not have much strength.

However, her eyes were cold and contained a domineering air. Apparently, only a person with a plan could have such an expression.

Principal Wu did not dare to have any doubts. He immediately called the teacher in charge of Class 1.

“Mr. Li, this is Jiang Li. She will be studying in your class from now on.”

“Hello, Mr. Li.” Jiang Li had always been very polite when it came to outsiders.

The Grade 12 Class 1 that Mr. Li was leading was one of the most important classes in the school. The top scorer in the math college entrance examination two years ago was also from his class. Therefore, he had a good reputation in front of the principal.

When he heard that the principal said that there was a transfer student, he was a little dissatisfied. Any student who entered his class had to be examined by him first. Only students who had passed his examination could enter Class 1. This was an unwritten rule of learning.

He looked at Jiang Li critically and took out her previous file to read.

“Principal Wu, this is actually transferred from the technical school. Her middle school exam results are only around 400 points...”

When Mr. Li saw her previous report card, his expression became displeased. “Isn’t this a poor student who can’t even enter the ordinary high school? How can she enter Yangming? Class 1 is focused on science subjects, so we can’t accept her.”
