C43 To Dinner

It was already early in the morning when she returned from the Pet Hospital last night. She and Shen Yeyan had been chatting in the hospital for a few hours, using all of her strength to fight with wits.

This morning, when the sun was high in the sky, she lazily lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

Xu Yicheng aside from her thoughts, she became more cheerful and relaxed, humming a small tune as she descended from the stairs.

The kitten had already regained its appetite. She happily fed a few calcium tablets before asking Uncle Liu, "What time does mister Shen leave this morning?"

"The usual time."

She felt some guilt in her heart, but there was also a trace of admiration. Even in such a high position, Shen Yeyan was still very disciplined towards himself.

Even the richest person was working so hard, so what reason did she have not to work hard?

After finishing his meal, Qiao Xi took two books and stuffed them into his bag before Uncle Liu sent him to Mrs Shen.

Just as she raised her hand to knock on the door, the door suddenly opened and a few managers with their heads and faces covered in dirt rushed out. She took a glance at the documents scattered on the floor, causing the entire room to be in a mess.

Qiao Xi immediately withdrew her head. She didn't plan to appear when he was in a rage and quietly closed the door.

"Qiao Xi, come in."

She paused, almost sticking her tongue out. She took a deep breath and had no choice but to enter.

"What are you doing sneaking around outside the door?"

"Nothing, mister Shen is not in a good mood today?"

She stepped on a pile of documents and stood one meter away from his desk. Shen Ye still couldn't calm her anger down. She wanted to throw the documents in her hands to the ground, but she stopped when she saw that she was standing in front of him.

"Mister Shen, being angry isn't good for your condition. Have you ever heard of someone dying from anger?"

"Thank you for your kind reminder. Now make me a cup of coffee."

Seeing him rub his eyes a few times, Qiao Xi guessed that he had not slept well last night. She put down her stuff and went to grind the beans.

She had her back to him, leaving only a beautiful figure behind. He pressed the button for someone to come in and clean up.

The office was filled with the sound of grinding beans. When Shen Yeyan heard the sound, he actually felt an inexplicable sense of relief.

Qiao Xi made two cups of coffee, one for each of them. The room was filled with the fragrance of coffee.

Shen Ye An looked at her a few times, then buried his head in the documents.

The phone on Qiao Xi's table vibrated. It was a call from Xu Yi City. She raised her hand and pressed it down, but the other person still refused to budge.

She sent a few messages in quick succession, causing Xu Yi Cheng to laugh coldly.

"I don't agree to break up."

[It doesn't matter if you agree or not. I won't meet with you again.]

Shen Ye An was right, her ability to choose a boyfriend was not good.

Qiao Xi directly called Xu Yicheng on the phone and continued reading. When she raised her head again, she was the only one left in the office.

It was already lunchtime. Just as she was about to go out, the office door suddenly opened and Jiang Ying was slowly pushed in from his wheelchair. This was the second time that Qiao Xi had seen the wealthy and refined Madam Shen.

Jiang Ying felt somewhat displeased when he was stopped by his secretary outside. When he saw Qiao Xi in the office, his displeasure reached its peak, but it didn't show on his face.

"Miss Qiao, where's Yenan?"

"Mister Shen should go out for a meeting."

She saw the coffee beside Qiao Xi. She guessed that he would be here early in the morning. Would he need to be in the office all day? She had probably underestimated the other party's scheming.

"It's my birthday party the day after tomorrow. I hope Miss Qiao can show me some face."

Jiang Ying handed over the invitation with a smile. Qiao Xi hurriedly took it with surprise. "Thank you, Madam Shen."

"Remember to come and play."

"Alright."

"I won't wait for Ye An. Put this on his table."

Qiao Xi received the invitation and placed it on the table. Jiang Ying smiled as he bid her farewell before gracefully leaving the stage.

If not for the heavy invitation in her hand, it was as if she had never been here.

Qiao Xi had never participated in the birthday banquet of the Wealthy Class, nor had he ever met any friends. However, due to Mrs. Shen's face, she had no choice but to attend.

For the banquet the day after tomorrow, Qiao Xi went out in the afternoon to buy a dress that wasn't cheap. He cut his hair and returned to his office. Shen Yeyan had just finished her transnational video conference.

His pitch-black eyes swept across her black hair, while Qiao Xi touched it uncomfortably.

"Cut off love?"

"Haha, Teacher Shen sure knows a lot."

"Don't praise me."

He glanced at the shopping bag in her hand. "Your mother invited me to her birthday party," he explained.

Shen Ye An was displeased. "You agreed?"

"I have no reason to refuse, do I?"

Qiao Xi walked closer and saw the invitation in the trash can. "Mr. Shen, you're not going?"

Shen Ye An's thin lips pursed tightly as he fidgeted with his tie. He really did not plan on going. He was very clear about his mother's motive for coming to this birthday party.

"Go, since Miss Qiao is going, how can I not go?"

Qiao Xi also heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, he also went.

"Then we'll go together."

"Alright."

That afternoon, she went back early to change into her dress and dress before leaving with Shen Yeyan.

The Shen family was a Wealthy Class family in the Imperial City, while Mrs. Shen's circle was all the noble wives' circle in the Imperial City. Qiao Xi guessed that there were a lot of noble ladies here that day, so he didn't have the heart to compete with them.

There was no jewelry on his slender neck, only a tiny earring on his ear. It was hidden in his black hair, and it was barely visible as he walked.

She quickly opened the car door, causing Shen Yeyan, who was on the phone, to immediately hang up.

Her cut hair was neither long nor short. It was casually draped over her shoulders, completely unadorned. She appeared very casual, yet revealed a hint of laziness.

Qiao Xi pulled her skirt into the car and closed the door. "Sorry for making you wait. Let's go."

Shen Yeyan was still dressed as he was during the day. He didn't even change his tie, but he was still extraordinarily handsome.

The interior of the carriage was dimly lit. He sniffed the faint fragrance at the tip of her nose, occasionally glancing at her perfectly straight upper body. The woman's collarbone was exposed in the air, sexy and beautiful, like a pair of butterflies.

His voice suddenly became hoarse. "Follow me closely and don't run around."

"Alright."

"If anyone asks, tell them it's my girlfriend, do you understand?"

Qiao Xi nodded in understanding. It was good to have Shen Ye to protect her in such an occasion. She thanked him with a smile.

When Shen Yeyan saw her bright and beautiful smile, he felt carefree and carefree. His previous depression was swept away.
