Gold Medal Mediator [Quick Transmigration] 39p1

Chapter 39: The Boss’s Woman (XIII-p1)

Yun Yeman was speechless for a moment, a hint of helplessness welling up in her eyes.

In that brief moment of Yun Yeman’s relaxation, the Supervision Mode in Hua Baihe’s mind, perhaps having crashed completely, suddenly went silent. Having regained her composure, Hua Baihe seized the opportunity and pushed Yun Yeman away.

Then she darted to the side in a single bound.

The posture between them was no longer one standing and one sitting. Logically, after standing up, Hua Baihe’s presence should not have been inferior to Yun Yeman’s, but for some reason—

When she saw the other person’s sidelong glance, she felt an impulse to retreat.

The moment the thought appeared, her feet moved instinctively, taking a small step back.

—Can’t be helped. I’ve seen that look in the previous two worlds. My muscle memory is too damn familiar.

In a confrontation, presence was crucial. When Hua Baihe saw the hint of a smile in the other person’s eyes, she wanted to raise a forty-meter-long blade and chop off her own cowardly foot.

Yun Yeman took a slow step in her direction and asked lightly:

“Is the Miss afraid of me?”

Hua Baihe said coldly, “What a joke.”

She said, “What is there about you for me to be afraid of?”

Yun Yeman watched her quietly, her pupils reflecting Hua Baihe’s image, looking focused and sincere.

Hearing her words, Yun Yeman surprisingly didn’t refute them. Instead, she sighed along, “That’s right. What is there about me to make the Miss afraid?”

At the end, she even curled her lips, as if trying to offer Hua Baihe a harmless smile.

But the more Hua Baihe looked at her like this, the more she felt—

This must be the legendary pervert?!

She desperately wanted to squat in a corner, hug her head, and tremble, begging this blackened female lead demon lord not to notice her. But the Supervision Mode’s battery level wouldn’t allow her to admit defeat.

Seeing the familiar plot unfold, the System sent out a lotus bud sticker.

[“I’m shutting myself in.jpg”]

It had given up on its host, who could forge an emotional connection with the Child of Destiny no matter the world or the plot.

To avoid listening to the sounds of Japanese voice actors over a pixelated screen later, it simply shut down.

But the Supervision Mode started clamoring again:

[The Child of Destiny’s favorability towards you is now 100! Warning! Warning!]

[The Child of Destiny’s favorability towards you is now -100! Activating Blackening Mode! Please be cautious!]

One moment it’s positive one hundred, the next it’s negative one hundred. It seemed the rebooted Supervision Mode was still doomed to crash.

The noise gave Hua Baihe a headache. Staring at Yun Yeman, she frowned unconsciously.

She tried to block out the interference from the Supervision Mode’s static in her mind, narrowed her eyes at Yun Yeman, and said:

“If you take advantage of me one more time, I’ll—”

Yun Yeman raised an eyebrow. “You’ll?”

Hua Baihe deliberately put on a cold face. “I’ll hit you.”

This is a threat from the former tyrant of Yun Ding Academy. Are you scared? Are you trembling? Do you still dare to be bent for me?

Unexpectedly, Yun Yeman looked at her meaningfully and replied, “Where do you want to hit?”

Hua Baihe: “…”

Why does that sound so dirty?

She sucked in a sharp breath and pointed at the person opposite her, whose shamelessness had evolved to the thickness of a city wall after just a few years.

“Yun Yeman, do you think you can do whatever you want to me just because my dad’s not around?”

How dare she be so arrogant with me!

Yun Yeman denied her words with a deadpan expression. “Wrong.”

She said, “I’ve wanted to do whatever I want to you since Mr. Yin was still at the height of his power.”

Hua Baihe: “…”

Hua Baihe: “???”

I treated you like a daughter, but you actually want to top me?

Just then, the noise from the Supervision Mode in her mind grew louder and louder. Finally, perhaps due to a malfunction in its self-check system, it let out a piercing shriek in Hua Baihe’s mind—

The sonic blast in her head, combined with being rendered speechless by Yun Yeman’s words, made her eyes roll back…

And she fainted.

* * *

The moment Yun Yeman saw her face turn pale, her heart couldn’t help but lurch.

But Yin Zhi’s body had always been in good shape, and she exercised regularly. Let alone fainting, she rarely even caught a cold or a fever.

Now, seeing the person collapse right in front of her, Yun Yeman reacted quickly, catching her while mentally berating herself.

She had been too hasty.

Yin Zhi was such a proud person, and she’d had a great father-daughter relationship with Yin Xiao since childhood. To suddenly learn that her father was in trouble, losing her greatest support, while the child of a servant who had always been at her beck and call was now using their newfound power to make a move on her…

Putting herself in her shoes, Yun Yeman felt she would have been furious enough to die.

She carried the person horizontally to the door and opened it with some difficulty. A maid at the end of the hallway ran over in alarm. “What happened to the Miss?”

Yun Yeman lied without batting an eye, “She was upset by Mr. Yin’s situation, and she just got off a long flight, so she couldn’t handle it for a moment.”

Seeing her carry Yin Zhi downstairs, carefully avoiding any bumps, even Uncle Bo didn’t suspect anything was amiss. He was only momentarily puzzled; Hua Baihe had seemed to be holding up well in front of Yin Xiao, so why did she collapse as soon as she got back…?

But it was only human.

Some people act spoiled in front of their loved ones, hoping for more affection. Yet, the moment they discover their loved ones are in trouble, they put on a strong, independent front, as if telling others:

Just take care of yourself. See, I’ve always been fine.

But only the person involved knows the truth.

The entire Yin family staff had witnessed just how doted upon Yin Zhi had been. Now that Mr. Yin was in trouble, she must be feeling terrible.

With this in mind, Uncle Bo immediately called the private hospital. Yun Yeman, meanwhile, called for the driver and sent her over.

[System entering self-check… Self-check complete… Scanning Child of Destiny’s favorability towards host… Data conflict! Warning! Data conflict!]

[Mode error, transmitting data… Mode error—]

[Beep—]

A cacophony of voices clamored in Hua Baihe’s mind, one after another, before all fading away.

In a haze, she heard the System say with relief:

[I knew you’d push this thing to its breaking point eventually. I just didn’t expect it to happen so soon…]

Hua Baihe thought groggily:

So does this mean I don’t have to worry about getting shocked anymore?

Then what are we waiting for! Let’s get it on!

With that thought, she shot up from the hospital bed as if rising from her deathbed, startling the doctors and nurses who were examining her. They all rushed to push her back down.

“Calm down! Miss Yin!”

“Deep breaths, deep breaths. Don’t worry, nothing’s wrong right now. Please lie back down, I’ll help you remove the ECG leads.”

Being held down by them, Hua Baihe almost thought she was on an operating table, refusing to give birth, and was being forced back down by the doctors to be cut open.

Her gaze scanned past the sea of white coats, searching for the person she wanted to see—

Where’s Yecao?

Yecao, come out quickly! We’ve got official permission to date!

“In your dreams?” The System popped up just then. It said, [Although the Supervision Mode has crashed, you’re celebrating a bit too early.]

The meddling parent was still here.

Hua Baihe’s excitement was instantly kicked into oblivion by the System.

She silently rolled her eyes and unhappily flopped back onto the bed, saying to the doctors and nurses around her, “I’m perfectly fine. I just like to faint for fun sometimes. Can you let me go home now?”

The doctors and nurses: “…”

Is this how you rich people have fun these days?

Grumbling aside, they really hadn’t found any major problems. They attributed Hua Baihe’s condition to her not being acclimated after returning to the country. They advised her to get more rest and, preferably, not to exert herself mentally for the next few days until she adjusted.

Before Hua Baihe could speak, a person who had just entered the doorway responded in a low voice, “Understood.”

Hearing that familiar low tone, Hua Baihe put on a disdainful expression and turned her head away, while inwardly rubbing her hands in glee.

Hospitals really are great places, ho?

Although she had her head turned away, she strained her ears to hear what the newly empowered Yun Yeman would say. Her entire body screamed ‘Don’t come near me, I don’t want to talk to you,’ but in reality, every cell in her body was focused on the other’s every move.

The moment Yun Yeman approached her bed, she felt all her hair stand on end. She was like a little cat with its back arched, ready to scratch, her posture a warning:

I’m super fierce!

Hua Baihe’s forced bravado amused Yun Yeman, but she didn’t show it. Instead, she said to the doctors and nurses, “Thank you for your trouble. I’m worried her condition might be unstable. Let’s have her stay here for the night.”

Hua Baihe immediately contradicted her. “I’m checking out right now.”

Her tone left no room for argument.

The doctors didn’t want to be caught in the middle. The lead doctor quickly said, “Since the Yin family is a major shareholder, you can stay as long as you like. Of course, leaving is also fine. We’ll assign a private physician to follow up on your condition. Please don’t worry.”

With that, he gave his colleagues a look, and the group quickly exited the room.

Leaving Hua Baihe and Yun Yeman to stare at each other—

“I said, I’m checking out immediately. Did you hear me?” Hua Baihe narrowed her eyes, looking dangerously at the person by her bed.

Yun Yeman leaned over from her standing position and asked, “Can I interpret that as the Miss being eager to share a room with me?”

Hua Baihe spat out a single word at her with a deadpan face, “Pah.”

She said, “Yun Yecao, I don’t care if you’re straight as a board or bent as a coil, but if you dare to make a move on me, I’ll make it so you can’t take care of yourself. You believe me?”

Yun Yeman laughed at her threat.

She curled her lip and said, “Alright, Miss. I look forward to that day.”

Hua Baihe kicked her leg toward Yun Yeman’s knee. There was no holding back in that kick; it should have sent the person in front of her stumbling back a couple of steps. But unexpectedly, Yun Yeman had anticipated her move.

The other person dodged her attack with what could be described as ease.

Her legs were slightly parted. When Hua Baihe’s kick missed and she tried to retract her leg, Yun Yeman quickly brought her legs together and then raised a hand to catch the other foot that was now aiming for her face.

Their movements paused. Because Hua Baihe was using the strength of her leg, her body on the bed tilted back slightly, her hands instinctively propping her up on the mattress to prevent herself from being pulled down.

Seeing her secretly exerting force to pull her foot back, Yun Yeman couldn’t help but caress her fair ankle with her fingertips, a slightly mocking smile on her lips.

“Doesn’t the Miss like fair-skinned people? Looking at my face, how could you bear to strike?”

Yin Zhi’s body, due to frequent exercise and past fights, had exceptionally sharp senses. Her sense of touch on her skin was also extremely sensitive.

As a result, even the usually less sensitive skin on her ankle began to itch from the rubbing of the other’s thumb pad, as if a thorny caterpillar had been placed there, crawling and crawling along her skin.

She couldn’t help but clench her teeth, afraid some strange sound might escape her lips.

In the end, she could only squeeze out one word: “Scram.”

Yun Yeman heard the feigned severity in her voice. Actually, she wasn’t surprised at all that Yin Zhi was afraid of her.

People with some fighting skill usually judge others based on reliable intuition first—

The fact that Yin Zhi was afraid of her meant that this adorable Miss Yin had already discovered she was no longer the person she used to be.

Yun Yeman pressed her foot down onto the bedsheet. She wasn’t in a hurry to make a move just yet. Instead, she said with what seemed like exceptional consideration:

“You just got back to the country. You might not be used to the climate here. Rest for a couple of days first, and we can talk after you’ve settled down.”

Hua Baihe retorted with a deadpan expression:

“As long as you’re in my sight for a single day, I’ll want to breathe fire for a single day.”

Yun Yeman reminded her calmly, “Miss, not touching you is already my limit. Please don’t make an unreasonable request like asking me to leave.”

Hua Baihe remained unmoved. “It’s simple. Turn around now—”

“See that door? Forward march, out the door, close it. Thank you.”

Hearing her request, Yun Yeman stared at her for a few seconds, a mixture of anger and amusement appearing in her eyes. In the end, she slowly straightened up from the bedside and actually turned to walk towards the door.

Hua Baihe let out a sigh of relief—

Having such a great beauty constantly flaunting such seductive expressions in front of me… I was really worried I wouldn’t be able to control myself.

But then she heard the sound of the room door being locked from the outside.

Hua Baihe froze.

Can hospital doors be locked from the outside?

Her neck stiff, she slowly, slowly turned her head and saw Yun Yeman, who had just closed the door and turned around. The person gave her a slight smirk.

Because Hua Baihe’s room was on the top floor of the hospital, and after realizing she was fine, the regular nurses and doctors stayed in their office at the end of the hall. It just so happened that there were no other VIP guests on the top floor today. Not only were the other rooms empty, but no one would even pass through the hallway.

Moreover, while Hua Baihe was resting, Uncle Bo had been sent back by her to make soup.

The timing was perfect: Yin Zhi had returned. The location was perfect: a room with just the two of them. The human element was perfect: Yin Zhi was consistently provoking her.

All conditions were met.

Yun Yeman walked towards her step by step, rolling up the sleeves of her shirt a little higher, her tone carrying a hint of nonchalance.

“It seems the Miss is indeed fine. Since you’re so fired up, why don’t I help you cool down?”
