"Sis, you really are my good sister. Shen Yeyan's Wind by the Nest is really amazing. I will cherish it. When I become popular, I'll buy you a car."
"Qiao Yang, I have no relationship with Shen Yeyan. This Director isn't trying to get away from him. He's just interested in you. You can seize the opportunity."
"Sis, your relationship with Shen Yeyan isn't anything shameful. If you're afraid that your parents will know, don't worry, I won't lie. As for your boyfriend, I'll keep it a secret for you."
The more Qiao Xi heard, the more her head hurt. Perhaps she shouldn't have caused so much trouble.
"I still have to hang up."
"Wait, Sis, can you lend me some money first? I'm really short on money recently."
"Qiao Yang, you are no longer a child."
"Just borrow ten thousand yuan. I'll pay you back when I have the money."
"I don't have any money."
The voice immediately became sharp, "How can you not have money? Shen Yeyan is so rich. Just a random order from him would be enough for you to eat and drink. Or did you not put in enough effort in bed?"
Qiao Xi was so angry that she was trembling. She bit her lips and hung up the phone. Qiao Yang continued to call her, she switched to her silent phone and threw it to the side.
Her heart was in turmoil and her eyes were slightly red. Her little sister's cultivation had already gone berserk and she couldn't even bring back ten oxen. This time, he would help her and not interfere in her matters in the future.
Qiao Xi was so angry that she was lost in thought. She didn't even notice when Shen Yeyan was standing at the door. She blinked subconsciously and got up only to find that she wasn't wearing her shoes. She then put them on in a fluster.
His pitch-black eyes landed on her toes that were covered in broken skin. Her toes were white and small, with a touch of pink on the tip. Blood was seeping out from the torn skin. His pupils constricted, his breathing stagnated, and he strode in.
"Take off your shoes."
"Huh?"
"I told you to take your shoes off."
Li Ran happened to come in through the door, and when he saw the situation inside, he immediately ordered someone to bring a pair of shoes up from the shopping mall.
Shen Yeyan's voice was low and forceful. Qiao Xi pursed her lips and shook off the heels on her feet. Her legs were immediately released as her delicate feet stepped on the soft carpet.
Shen Yeyan's gaze swept over them. His throat rolled up and down as he swallowed his saliva. When he was about to approach, he suddenly stopped.
Qiao Xi saw that his face looked a little annoyed, but it was quickly covered by a dark expression: "If the shoes don't fit, then I should have told you earlier."
"It's just a new shoe, it's nothing."
"Li Ran."
Li Ran, who was standing outside the door, turned pale with fright. He immediately lowered his head and walked in, "Mister Shen, I was the one who was in the wrong."
"There won't be a next time."
"Yes."
The aura around Shen Yeyan was powerful, like the center of a storm. Qiao Xi's heart skipped a beat. He had already bent down to pick up the shoes and threw them into the trash can. She looked at Li Ran apologetically.
"Immediately change Miss Qiao's shoes. Please wait a moment."
"Thank you."
Without his shoes, Qiao Xi had no choice but to sit on the sofa. The lounge door was closed by Li Ran. Shen Ye stood by the window with his face facing her.
"Actually, it's quite normal for high heels to grind their feet."
"That's a matter of shoes."
"No, maybe I have a foot problem too."
Previously, Qiao Xi didn't wear high heels very often. Instead, she was more of flat shoes. They were easy to move and comfortable to the feet. On the other hand, while high heels looked beautiful, after wearing them for so long, they actually didn't feel comfortable.
Shen Yeyan looked at her adorable toes a few more times. Li Ran pushed the door open and brought the shoes in, before him to receive them. Inside the box was a pair of beautiful flat shoes, as well as a few bandages.
Shen Ye An bent over and placed the shoes on the carpet. The wounds were stuck inside the shoes. Qiao Xi first applied the shoes to the wounds and then put them on.
Without her high heels, she stood beside Shen Yeyan in her formal attire. Immediately, she lowered her head. He was tall and straight, and his aura seemed to be pressing down heavily.
"You may leave, Mister Shen."
She ran her hand through her hair and followed him out.
In the restaurant downstairs, Shen Ye Ling sat with the executives and chatted happily. She entered the venue with Shen Ye An. The executives stood up to welcome her, and even the female celebrities wanted to step forward.
Qiao Xi paid attention to the female celebrity's movements and intentionally moved to his side to block her.
Shen Ye An sat down beside Shen Ye Ling. Both of them were sons of the Shen family.
Qiao Xi also sat down next to Shen Yeyan. Shen Ye Ling didn't bring any female companions today and had a female celebrity arranged beside him. She was very pretty, with long hair and a shawl.
As for Shen Ye An, he usually didn't bring a girlfriend, but today he brought a girlfriend. Everyone was also looking at Qiao Xi. He lowered his eyes and occasionally exchanged a few words with Shen Ye An.
Today, the main character was the two Shen brothers. The two of them stood up and toasted, celebrating the successful opening of the shopping mall.
Qiao Xi sat on the table and had no choice but to drink. Her alcohol tolerance was low, so after drinking a few cups, her face turned red and her body slumped into the chair.
The female celebrity beside her still wanted to toast with her. Qiao Xi forced himself to drink another cup. When the next round of toasts connected, the wine cup on the table was held down by Shen Yeyan.
Seeing that the two of them didn't interact, the higher ups thought that Qiao Xi was just an ordinary female companion. After downing a few cups of wine and losing his mind due to his beauty, they wanted to toast her as well.
Shen Ye An raised his wine cup, his voice was hoarse and his eyes were gloomy, "I'll drink for her."
The high-ranking officer's legs gave way and he almost poured himself a glass of wine, "Mister Shen, I …"
"Drink, you've worked hard today."
"It's not hard, it's not hard at all, Chief Shen is too serious."
The senior executive nearly shook off his wine cup and drank it with his hand on the table. However, Shen Yeyan poured some more wine for him.
Qiao Xi also realized that something was not right. The atmosphere at the table had changed drastically, and the lively conversation had gradually died down. Shen Yeyan drank three cups of wine in a row, his face ashen.
He called out softly, "Mister Shen, you drank too much."
Under the bright light, Shen Yeyan's face darkened. However, he lowered his hands because he was holding onto his wine cup.
"Mister Shen, you really drank too much."
Her flushed face blinked. Her long eyelashes were like a fan as they lightly brushed across her chest. Shen Yeyan's scratching made him itch and his breathing quickened. His gloomy face gradually turned better as he looked at the crowd.
"Everyone has been working hard recently. Let's just work harder after resting."
As the boss spoke, everyone smiled and raised their cups. Qiao Xi also heaved a sigh of relief.
The corner of Shen Ye Ling's mouth curled up into a smile. His gaze swept past the slightly tipsy Qiao Xi, and he shifted his gaze.
After the meal, Qiao Xi sat in a chair reeking of alcohol. Smoke filled the room as she got up and went to the washroom. She wanted to wash her face but was afraid that her makeup had gone bad. She could only wash her hands and find a quiet place to sit for a while.
As the alcohol fermented in his body, his consciousness began to blur. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find Shen Yeyan while he was drunk. Thus, he called him while he still had a bit of consciousness.
