Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

Li Xiaoyao turned a corner and walked for a few minutes when he suddenly saw a woman in a blue dress squatting on the road ahead.

Li Xiaoyao looked at the woman and felt that she looked very familiar. When he got closer, he immediately recognized her—wasn’t that Lan Cai, Director Lan?

Lan Cai did not see Li Xiaoyao. Her right foot was injured, and she was lowering her head, gently rubbing her ankle with her palm.

Without giving it much thought, Li Xiaoyao quickly walked over and asked, "Twisted your ankle?"

Hearing the voice, Lan Cai looked up and when she saw the man standing before her was Li Xiaoyao, she also appeared somewhat stunned, and then her face flushed with embarrassment. Such an embarrassing scene was actually witnessed by her subordinate; it was simply too mortifying.

Li Xiaoyao saw that Lan Cai didn’t speak and that her cheeks were blushing, and he guessed perhaps she had also twisted her head.

Li Xiaoyao squatted down, took a look at Lan Cai’s ankle, and saw that it indeed was twisted—and pretty badly at that, with the whole ankle swollen up considerably.

Li Xiaoyao glanced at Lan Cai, who was tightly pressing her lips together, seemingly trying hard to suppress the pain coming from her twisted ankle.

"Where do you need to go? I’ll take you there," Li Xiaoyao offered.

Regardless of whether this woman was Li Xiaoyao’s boss, at this moment, she was just a woman with a twisted, injured ankle.

Li Xiaoyao felt that if he just walked away now, it would be truly unmanly.

Lan Cai suddenly remembered she still needed to buy flowers for Lin Yuanyuan, yet her purse had been stolen by a thief right on the street, and now she seemed to have no choice but to ask Li Xiaoyao for help.

After a few seconds of internal struggle, Lan Cai said, "My purse was just stolen, can you lend me some money?"

Her purse was stolen?

Li Xiaoyao gave her an odd look, thinking the luck of this beautiful CEO was really terrible. After all, the public safety in Ling City was known to be several times better than in other cities.

Being robbed on the street in such a low-probability event had actually happened to Lan Cai.

"You can’t walk in your current state. How about this, tell me where you need to go, and I’ll take you," Li Xiaoyao suggested after a brief thought, feeling it was safer to accompany her.

Lan Cai was silent for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "I’ll trouble you, then."

"It’s no trouble at all," Li Xiaoyao extended his right hand, and Lan Cai hesitated for a moment before also reaching out her hand.

Li Xiaoyao grasped Lan Cai’s palm and with a slight effort, he pulled her up from the ground.

Lan Cai’s palm was very soft and a bit cold, very comfortable to hold.

Lan Cai grasped Li Xiaoyao’s palm, using his strength to stand up unsteadily.

"I need to go to the flower shop across the street and buy some flowers," Lan Cai declared.

"What kind of flowers do you want? I’ll get them for you," Li Xiaoyao offered.

Lan Cai shook her head, saying, "I want to pick them out myself."

Without asking for a reason, Li Xiaoyao helped her walk toward the flower shop.

Upon entering the flower shop, the female shop owner greeted them and then, after seeing Lan Cai’s stunning face, couldn’t help but stare in amazement before saying cheerily to Li Xiaoyao, "Sir, you are really lucky to have such a beautiful girlfriend."

Li Xiaoyao hadn’t had a chance to explain when Lan Cai, blushing, interjected, "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend."

The shop assistant paused for a moment, then had a sudden realization and exclaimed, "Ah, no way, you two are already married? I really couldn’t tell."

Lan Cai’s face flushed, and she lowered her head to choose flowers, pretending not to hear what the shop assistant had said.

Li Xiaoyao was also speechless. This curious florist was truly nosy, but he knew she was just trying to make conversation. Seeing Li Xiaoyao and Lan Cai, who were of similar ages, it was easy for someone to mistake them as a couple.

Since Lan Cai didn’t explain, Li Xiaoyao also didn’t bother to clarify. After all, they were just buying flowers.

Lan Cai bought a large bouquet of red roses, and after Li Xiaoyao paid for them, he took the initiative to carry the flowers and then helped Lan Cai out of the door with his left hand.

Lan Cai handed the car keys to Li Xiaoyao and said, "My car is parked across the street, could you please drive me to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel?"

Li Xiaoyao’s eyebrows twitched. What a coincidence, she was also going to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel? That was the same hotel where Zhao Si had arranged to meet him.

However, Li Xiaoyao did not speak. He quickly brought the car over, then helped Lan Cai into the passenger seat and drove towards the hotel.

"Does your foot still hurt?" Li Xiaoyao struck up a conversation while driving. Otherwise, the atmosphere in the car was just too awkward.

Lan Cai paused for a moment, making sure Li Xiaoyao was talking to her before nodding her head and saying, "It hurts."

Li Xiaoyao said, "You should actually go to the hospital to have it checked out now. Otherwise, if you miss the optimal treatment time, it might affect you later."

Lan Cai’s face changed slightly, and her eyes showed some conflict and hesitation.

On the way to the hotel, there were too many cars, and Li Xiaoyao and Lan Cai ended up stuck in the middle of the road.

Lan Cai asked, "Is there a hospital nearby?"

Li Xiaoyao gave a wry smile and said, "I’m not familiar with Ling City."

Lan Cai’s face darkened, and Li Xiaoyao suddenly had an idea and said, "I have learned some medical skills. If you don’t mind, I can take a look at it for you."

Lan Cai looked up at Li Xiaoyao, and in his eyes, she saw a clear gaze. She thought that this man simply wanted to check her sprain, and after hesitating slightly, she said, "Then I’ll trouble you."

The car was stuck just in time, and Li Xiaoyao had enough time to check it for her, so he said, "It’s no trouble at all, just lift up your foot."

With her face blushing and her head bowed, Lan Cai slowly lifted her left foot.

Beauty is beauty, even the posture of lifting a foot was so graceful and moving.

When Li Xiaoyao reached out and held Lan Cai’s ankle, he could clearly feel a slight tremor in her body, she was nervous.

Lan Cai was indeed nervous. She had never had such close contact with another man before in her life. The palm of Li Xiaoyao that held her ankle was warm and comfortable.

Li Xiaoyao gently held her ankle and, after feeling it with his intention for a while, discovered that the bone in her ankle was dislocated.

The dislocated bone was easy to handle, as long as the force was controlled properly, and twisted back into place.

"Hmm, it’s not a big problem, but it’s going to hurt a bit. If you’re afraid of pain, just yell out," Li Xiaoyao looked at Lan Cai and said.

"Go ahead," Lan Cai braced herself as if facing a great enemy.

Li Xiaoyao smiled, took hold of the dislocated spot, and gently twisted with a bit of force. Lan Cai only felt a numbness in her ankle, followed by a warm flow that enveloped her ankle. Surprisingly, there was no pain at all. Instead, there was a tingling sensation that was quite comfortable.

"There, it’s done," Li Xiaoyao reluctantly let go of Lan Cai’s foot.

Lan Cai looked at her ankle in surprise, touched it with her hand, and it didn’t hurt at all. The swollen ankle, which was swollen just moments ago, had completely subsided, as if it had never been sprained.

"You really know medical treatment?" Lan Cai was somewhat incredulous.

Li Xiaoyao grinned, "What do you mean, really know? If I didn’t know, could I have healed your foot? Or do you think I claimed to know just for the chance to touch your foot?"

Lan Cai felt embarrassed. Li Xiaoyao had already cured her sprained foot, yet she still voiced such a skeptical remark, which was indeed not very appropriate.

"That’s not what I meant." Lan Cai wanted to explain but didn’t know how. She then suddenly wondered why she felt the need to explain herself to him. He was her subordinate, wasn’t it only natural for her to say and do as she pleased?

With that thought, Lan Cai immediately put on a stern face.
