About ten minutes later, Shen Fanyun stepped out of the hotel. The two won, who had been waiting for quite a while, finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing him safe and sound.
"Let’s go. I’ll take you ho," Shen Fanyun said with his usual smile.
Lin Jia thanked him, "Minister, you’ve saved once again."
What exactly is the relationship between this girl and Shen Fanyun? Li Ruoshui was utterly confused.
Coincidentally, Lin Jia was wondering the sa thing.
Once they were in the car, Lin Jia blinked her large eyes and asked, "Minister, Sister Li is really pretty and has a great figure."
"So, what’s your relationship with her?" she asked in a gossipy tone.
Shen Fanyun played dumb, planning to answer with silence. Unexpectedly, the girl—whether her wires were crossed or she was just being impulsive—blurted out, "Speaking of which, Xi Yan is also quite nice. You’re pretty lucky with the ladies, Minister."
Xi Yan? Who is this girl who just popped out of nowhere? And why does her na sound so familiar? Li Ruoshui stared incredulously at Shen Fanyun, who was right beside her.
Seeing that Shen Fanyun was playing dead, she pinched him hard. Shen Fanyun grimaced, his face twisting slightly.
Lin Jia asked, puzzled, "Minister, do you have a stomachache? Why do you look so awful?"
Shen Fanyun was speechless. And whose fault do you think that is?
Shen Fanyun first dropped Li Ruoshui off at school, where Principal Lu Jinshu personally greeted her.
"Principal," Li Ruoshui smiled.
"As long as you’re all right, that’s all that matters." The heavy weight on Lu Jinshu’s heart finally lifted.
He had watched Li Ruoshui grow up, so his feelings for her were different. In his eyes, she was practically his granddaughter. Her disappearance had nearly scared him to death.
"Okay, you go on and get busy." Lu Jinshu didn’t need to make small talk with Shen Fanyun, so after a brief exchange, Shen Fanyun drove away.
Lin Jia was unusually quiet for the rest of the trip, maintaining a rare, serious deanor.
Shen Fanyun had suggested that Lin Jia take the rest of the day off. He felt she needed ti to calm down and ntally adjust after her ordeal, and could return to work tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jia flatly refused. After a quick video call with Lin iqing, she insisted on going back to work.
Shen Fanyun had no choice but to take Lin Jia to Su Xiyang’s new company.
"You scared to death!" Su Xiyang hugged Lin Jia, her affection genuine.
They had been close for almost a year, and Lin Jia’s likable personality had led Su Xiyang to treat her like a younger sister.
Lin Jia giggled. "Thanks for your concern, President."
At the sa ti, Lin Jia was contemplating whether she should tell Su Xiyang about Li Ruoshui.
Shen Fanyun is two-timing with two absolute stunners! That’s... infuriating! I have to expose him!
In the end, under Shen Fanyun’s sharp glare, Lin Jia stuck out her tongue, muttered sothing about getting to work, and made a hasty escape.
"Thank you," Su Xiyang said, grateful for Shen Fanyun’s help.
Shen Fanyun asked, "Is there a reward?"
"Reward? In your dreams!" Su Xiyang told him bluntly. "I’m about to get my period, so you’d better behave."
Shen Fanyun was incredulous. "That quickly?"
"You don’t get it?" Su Xiyang said, her eyes twinkling. She explained with a serious, straight face, "For the seven days leading up to my period, I have to rest. That ans no activities of *that* sort.
"Then, for seven days after it begins, I need to give my body ample ti for my endocrine system to normalize. So, no private life during those seven days either.
"In short, you have the seven days of preparation, the actual period itself, and the consolidation phase afterward. It all adds up to twenty-one days!"
Shen Fanyun was speechless. He felt like he’d been completely tricked.
Does she take for an idiot? This ans I can only have fun for seven days a month? That’s... unbearable!
"Alright, co to my office," Su Xiyang said suddenly.
Shen Fanyun’s eyes lit up. A reward from the lady boss? Su Xiyang has suddenly beco so understanding! This made him feel imnsely gratified. An understanding and beautiful woman is the most deserving of a man’s pampering. I’ll be incredibly gentle with her later, hehe...
"Okay," Shen Fanyun said with a sleazy smile.
Su Xiyang frowned and said sternly, "Put away your dirty fantasies. I need to talk to you about sothing serious."
"Isn’t this serious business?"
Su Xiyang was at a loss for words.
"I’ve been working hard on my research recently and have made a qualitative leap in my technique..."
"Get out!" Su Xiyang snapped.
Once they were in the office, Su Xiyang inford him that she was attending a beauty expo tomorrow and hoped he would accompany her the entire ti. Because this was her first ti participating under her own na after breaking away from the Su Family’s control, she was worried soone might cause trouble for her.
After all, putting others aside, her own grandfather, Su Ke, and Su Ziye’s mother, Chen Wen, would definitely try to trip her up.
Furthermore, back when her previous company was just starting to show promise, Su Ke had used his authority to sign Su Xiyang up with a slew of partners. These beneficiaries had since siphoned off a large portion of the company’s dividends. Now that Su Xiyang had kicked them all to the curb in one fell swoop, it wouldn’t be surprising if they still intended to leech off her new company. People’s greed and shalessness often exceeded imagination.
Su Xiyang was worried this group might try to force her to sign a new partnership agreent at the expo. She would never agree, of course, but disputes were inevitable. Having Shen Fanyun there would prevent such unnecessary trouble.
"By the way, as part of the beauty expo, there’s also a major charity event," Su Xiyang ntioned briefly. The donations collected would be used to help children from impoverished families, which was certainly a good cause.
"What ti does it start tomorrow?" Shen Fanyun asked.
"Nine in the morning," Su Xiyang replied.
"Alright, I’ll go with you," Shen Fanyun agreed without hesitation.
Su Xiyang lowered her head, a slight smile gracing her lips as her face glowed with happiness.
So this is what it feels like to have a man—a capable man—by your side. It’s so safe, so reassuring.
"What are you smiling at?" Shen Fanyun asked.
Su Xiyang turned her head away so he couldn’t see her face. "None of your business."
「The next day.」
Su Xiyang was dressed in black tights with lettering, paired with flat leather shoes. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail, and she wore a tailored suit. To top it off, she had ingeniously put on a pair of gold-rimd glasses. She was...
Beautiful!
Sexy!
She radiated an indescribable aura.
Every ti Su Xiyang ca up with a new look, it sparked new insights and expectations in a certain soone.
"You look incredible." Shen Fanyun was still captivated and felt a sense of déjà vu. Then, he rembered. It’s like that classic scene from a certain kind of adult movie... the Office Lady’s Temptation...
"Get lost!" Su Xiyang scolded, her tone sharp and clear.
