C26 Unbelievable

After throwing up, Shen Ye felt a lot better. Her heaving chest gradually calmed down. He raised his hand to look at his fingers, and in his mind, he could still feel the sensation of touching her hair. That peculiar sensation flashed through his mind.

Li Ran was also covered in sweat as he asked anxiously, "Mister Shen, how are you right now?"

"Yes."

His voice was low as he turned around to look at the anxious Qiao Xi who was standing beside the car. His wet eyes were tightly locked onto him. He walked over with large strides, but his heart was thumping loudly.

"Get in."

His pace was normal and his face was slightly gloomy. Qiao Xi followed him into the car.

After experiencing what had just happened, she dared not go near it. She stuck close to the door and couldn't help but feel a wave of bitterness in her heart.

Li Ran's car drove steadily for a while before finally stopping at the entrance of the alleyway.

This was the first time that Qiao Xi had come to this strange city. After getting off the car with him, they stood at the slightly dark alley entrance. The leaves on the trees on both sides of the wutong tree were luxuriant, and a dim yellow light hung from the tree trunk.

Shen Ye An's hand was in his pocket. He turned his head and looked at her indifferently, "Let's go."

The street in front of the alley was dark, but the deeper they went, the more lively it became. The night market was full of people, chattering. Qiao Xi watched in shock as Shen Yeyan entered one of the shops.

The expensive, picky Shen Yeyan could actually eat roadside stalls?

The astonished expression on her face had yet to be retracted when Li Ran, who was walking beside her, said in a low voice, "Mister Shen likes to eat their family's lobsters."

So that's how it is. Shen Yeyan is also a glutton.

Ever since Shen Yeyan came, the boss no longer entertained other customers. The several tables were all empty, with only their own table of customers.

She watched his long fingers take the menu, a thin sheet of paper with grease stains on it.

"If you want anything to eat, order it yourself."

Qiao Xi did not eat dinner. Her stomach was empty. She first went to check the staple food and found the Egg Fried Rice. She then ordered a plate of scrambled eggs.

Shen Ye An looked at her with complex emotions, "You only eat fried rice? "Hur hur, are you saving me more money?"

Qiao Xi also smiled. With curved eyebrows, he said, "Mr. Shen, you're overthinking it. I'm just eating some food first."

"That's good. After all, the thing I don't lack the most is money."

"…"

Being together with Shen Ye An, she would be provoked by him every single minute.

Qiao Xi then looked at the other dishes. Their family head beat lobster while Shen Yeyan ordered one serving for each of his tastes. He didn't care about the price at all and only wanted to be happy.

Li Ran was very familiar with Shen Yeyan's style. He also ordered a bunch of lobsters. Qiao Xi suddenly realized that he wasn't ordering a bunch as he looked down on Shen Yenan.

The three of them added up to almost ten people ordering lobsters. The boss was busy cooking the prawns in front of them. Qiao Xi was drinking water in silence. His phone vibrated as he sent a message to Xu Yi City.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Shen Yeyan's sharp eyes swept over them. He pursed his lips and sneered, "Are you doubting that I, this black-hearted boss, won't even allow the employees to eat?"

Qiao Xi immediately turned the phone around. "No, Mr. Shen, you're a good boss. This is the first time I've seen such a rich boss like you."

Her words were from the bottom of her heart. No one could compare to Shen Yeyan. It all depended on his mood to just casually give away the diamond necklace.

Shen Ye An coldly snorted, coincidentally, her fried rice was done, so she ate first.

Li Ran clearly saw from the side and silently moved the chair to the side. He was like a light bulb.

Soon, more than ten plates of piping hot lobster were served. Qiao Xi was wearing gloves while Shen Yeyan had already started eating. He ate the lobster very quickly, first twisting his head, then peeling off the shell and pulling out the meat. His actions were very skilled.

Qiao Xi was slower, because the nail on his thumb was rather long, so it wasn't easy to peel it off.

Although it was just a night market stall, the taste was much better than the one in the store. If it wasn't because the boss didn't want to open a branch office, Mister Shen would have helped them open up a store in the imperial city.

Qiao Xi ate a plate of spicy food. He stuck out his dark red tongue in a spicy manner. It was very satisfying. His forehead was slightly sweating. She wiped it away before continuing to eat.

Shen Yeyan's forehead was covered in sweat. The hot night wind was blowing on his body without any hint of chilliness. In fact, it even had a certain degree of warmth.

When the boss blew the fan at them, Qiao Xi finally caught his breath. "Boss, do you have any iced drinks?"

"Yes, I'll give it to you immediately."

Qiao Xi passed a bottle to Li Ran, then pushed another bottle to Shen Yenan as she continued drinking happily.

His gaze fell on her plate and his slender fingers clumsily peeled the shell. She had just finished one plate after he ate three. Emotions suddenly welled up in his heart, and he mysteriously pushed the piece of meat over to her after he peeled it.

When Qiao Xi saw this, she suddenly coughed and opened her eyes wide in disbelief.

"What are you staring at? Your eyes are big?"

His low and unhappy voice sounded in his ears, breaking through Qiao Xi's chaotic thoughts.

"Thank you, Mister Shen."

"You'll be more proficient if you eat more."

"Yes, yes."

When Li Ran saw this, he silently moved the chair to the side, wanting to quickly move it to the next table.

In the end, they wiped out all the lobsters on the table. Shen Yeyan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, looking like a lion that had just eaten its fill. He squinted his dark eyes and waited for them to go to sleep.

On the way back, Qiao Xi burped a few times, looking extremely embarrassed.

Within the quiet carriage, Shen Yeyan pursed his lips in satisfaction. Occasionally, his gaze would fall on the woman leaning against the window. At that moment, she was as soft as a kitten. Her jet-black hair hung behind her head in quiet.

He touched the cool necklace in his pocket, ran his fingers over it, and slowly slipped it into her pocket when she was caught off guard.

"..."

It was already late at night when Qiao Xi returned to his hotel room. He left a message for Xu Yi City, then took off his clothes and went to take a bath.

After a long day of work, she was lying on the bed with her hair dry. Xu Yicheng did not send her a message. She was still in surgery, so she yawned while wrapped in her blanket.

Although he was in a strange environment and was tired, Qiao Xi still quickly fell asleep. However, he was woken up in the middle of the night by the pain.

She clutched her stomach and rolled on the bed, gritting her teeth in pain. The room was dark, and she could clearly hear her own moans.

Qiao Xi tried her best to endure it, but the pain didn't lessen at all. Instead, it became more and more painful. She hurriedly wrapped herself in a blanket and crawled up, wanting to turn on the bedside lamp.

She finally found the light and got out of bed, barefoot and bent over.

The sleepless Shen Yeyan next door clearly heard a sound. The person next door was Qiao Xi. His black pupils constricted. He immediately lifted up the blanket and got off the bed, then quickly opened the door.

In the middle of the night, the hotel corridor was quiet as Shen Yeyan knocked on the door.

"Qiao Xi."

At this moment, Qiao Xi, who was in so much pain that she could not even stand up, said hoarsely, "Wait."

She forced herself to move closer to the door and open it.
