Chapter 251: When To Save Someone, When To Forgive
Yan Kuan moved. His legs moved slowly, as if he was waking up. Shen Xiaoxiao was a little excited and wanted to wake him up as soon as possible.
The Obsidian Star in his hand seemed to be something that those people wanted. They had been trying for a long time, but they still could not take it off.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao saw a man holding a knife wanting to cut off Yan Kuan’s finger with the Obsidian Star. Shen Xiaoxiao turned pale with fright and cried out anxiously, “No, no…”
The drizzle outside the window started to fall. She touched the sweat on her forehead. How could she wake up at this time? It would be good to dream for a little longer.
She wanted to see if it had been cut down.
She lay down and listened to the drizzle outside the window but could not fall asleep. The room was pitch-black and the raindrops fell on the window with a patter.
She got up and poured a cup of warm water. She looked at the time and saw that it was only 2 o’clock. She sighed and turned on the light to carefully look at the Obsidian Star in her hand.
She tried, but she still couldn’t take it off. In fact, she had tried countless times before. No matter if she used soap or lubricant, she was unable to take the ring off.
The green jade shined under the light. The ring on her hand was still the same as before. It looked good, but her heart was cold.
Kacha, kacha.
The sound of the door being unlocked rang out.
Knock, knock, knock!
Immediately after, there was a knock on the door. Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. Who was it at this time of night?
“Shen Xiaoxiao, open the door.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. It was actually Yan Kuan? Why was he here at this time of night? It had been a few days since he had been discharged from the hospital and she had seen him. What was he doing here in the middle of the night?
“What is it?”
When the door was opened, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the man who was standing at the door in exasperation. The smell of alcohol on his body was strong and stimulating. How much had he drunk?
“Why did you lock the door?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the man who wanted to enter the room with amusement. She pulled the door open and blocked his way. She looked at him mockingly and said, “Of course, it’s to prevent some night owls who go out in the middle of the night.”
“Shen Xiaoxiao, remember your identity. You’re my bed partner. As long as I need you, you have to give it to me. Get lost and let me in. Otherwise, you can go to my room.”
“Are you drunk or not drunk enough? Why don’t you try one step further? Yan Kuan, don’t forget that I, Shen Xiaoxiao, am not to be trifled with. If we really fight, we don’t know who will win and who will lose.”
Shen Xiaoxiao grabbed Yan Kuan’s hand that was about to push the door open. It was probably because he had drunk too much that he did not notice, causing Shen Xiaoxiao to have no choice but to take two steps back.
“Don’t regret it.”
Yan Kuan saw this woman with an imposing aura and knew that she was not lying. He immediately turned around and left. He turned around and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao with a frown on his face.
It was so easy to get rid of him? Alright, in case she did not sleep well tonight. There would be more days like this in the future…
Closing the door, Shen Xiaoxiao touched the necklace on her neck. How did this thing put down the GPS? Was it really impossible to remove it?
She did not sleep the whole night…
The next day, Yan Kuan went to the company early in the morning. When Shen Xiaoxiao went downstairs, 19 happened to bring the bird’s nest porridge over.
Looking at Shen Xiaoxiao, he hurriedly said, “Miss, you’re up. This is the bird’s nest porridge that Boss specially asked someone to make for you before he left. Drink it while it’s hot.”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s footsteps that had just come downstairs paused slightly. Then, she continued to walk to the dining table and stood there as if nothing had happened. She looked at 19 with a look of disdain and said, “There’s no taste in my mouth. 19, I want to eat the wonton soup from Dadong Alley. Let’s go eat wonton soup!”
Nineteen was stunned. He looked at the bird’s nest porridge in his hand and then looked at the stomach that the young lady was touching with both hands. In the end, the Little Master had won. Moreover, the Boss did not seem to have coaxed the Miss well. However, he also believed that the Miss always won every argument. This time was definitely no exception. She would not drink it if she did not want to. Even if the Boss knew about it, it would be useless.
“Alright then, Miss, Let’s go now.”
“Mm, after we finish eating, we’ll go to the company. Your Boss personally requested for the project for our Shen family. As the boss, I can’t just ignore it.”
…
“She didn’t drink the bird’s nest porridge?”
“Yes, Boss. Miss said that she wanted to eat wonton soup, so 19 took her to eat wonton soup. She also said that the Ouyang family’s renovation project is very important, so after eating, she’ll go to the company.”
Yan Kuan waved his hand and let her go. Was this a coincidence or did she discover something?
He shook his head a little impatiently. If she was on guard, shouldn’t he change his strategy?
…
The president’s office was empty. Shen Xiaoxiao went in for a walk and told 19 that she wanted to inspect the company. Then, she walked to the other departments.
19 followed closely behind and watched Shen Xiaoxiao inspect room by room. He always waited at the door. 19 actually admired Shen Xiaoxiao very much. She worked very hard.
In every office, she would carefully communicate with the manager. Occasionally, she would sit in front of the computer to check something. Such a capable Miss, Boss should not let her down.
He felt that the Miss was much, much better than that Ouyang Le.
After Shen Xiaoxiao finished checking the office, she slowly returned to the office. 19 did not come in. Shen Xiaoxiao casually turned on the computer. After a while, she made a few more calls. In the afternoon, she randomly used some more in the office. When she got off work… 19 saw that his Boss had come over personally.
His face immediately lit up. See, he had said that his Boss would definitely not be able to win against Miss. See, didn’t he come over personally?
Shen Xiaoxiao did not even raise her head as she continued to deal with the matters in her hands. Yan Kuan looked at her. His eyebrows raised as he casually sat on the chair. He looked at her and said, “Are you still angry? Your temper is really big. Let’s go. Let’s eat. I’ve reserved a seat and got someone to make your favorite vegetarian food.”
“You go. I’m not free.”
Shen Xiaoxiao refused without even looking at him. His anger immediately flared up. However, when he thought of his purpose, he suppressed his anger and said to her, “Even if you’re not free, you still have to eat. What time is it? If you’re busy, I’ll find someone to help you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head from the document and said to him, “Even if I’m too busy, I still have to be busy. This is the Shen family’s business, I won’t ignore it. Also, Yan Kuan, you haven’t forgotten about what happened between us, have you?
“If you want me to forgive you, that’s fine. Tell me, when will you arrange for people to rescue those brothers who are imprisoned?”
“Shen Xiaoxiao, I’ve said it before. You have no right to ask about those things.”
“Alright, if I don’t have the right, then I don’t have the right. But I’ll put it this way. When will we rescue those brothers? When will our matters be settled?”
“Yan Kuan, you don’t have to act so flustered and exasperated. You should know my temper. The more you act like this, the less I’ll be able to forgive you.”
“Now, please leave. I don’t want to talk to you.”
“Shen Xiaoxiao, don’t regret it.”
“Regret? If there really was a medicine for regret in this world, I would have eaten it long ago. Please!”
Yan Kuan turned around and left sulkily. But just as he reached the door, Shen Xiaoxiao heard a bang. She looked up and saw that Yan Kuan had actually fainted at the door without any warning, Shen Xiaoxiao stood up from the sofa reflexively.
