C63 Ambiguous

She pursed her lips, her eyelids drooping slightly as if she was unhappy.

Shen Ye An looked at it and made a few guesses. Suddenly, he raised his hand and placed the plate in front of her, "Have some fruits."

Qiao Xi had no idea what he meant by 'stay', so he could only pick up a piece of watermelon and nibble on it.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she would occasionally glance at Xiao Xiao. She was drinking with Gu Yunfan and felt a burst of worry in her heart.

Shen Yeyan followed her gaze and narrowed his eyes as he comforted her, "It's fine, he knows his limits."

If he wanted her to believe that Gu Yunfan knew his limits, then he might as well believe that it would rain. He didn't look like a good person, nor did his words or actions look like one.

Qiao Xi sat there idly eating a small piece of watermelon. As usual, Shen Yeyan drank a few cups in front of her.

"Mister Shen, it's better if you drink less."

"Hmm? "Care about me?"

"Un, you are my patient after all, so I will take responsibility if anything happens to you."

"Except the patient?"

Qiao Xi wanted to say 'friend', but thinking of the difference between the two, it didn't seem appropriate for them to be friends, whether in terms of wealth or status.

"Only the patient."

Her words instantly infuriated Shen Yayan. He held the cup tightly in his hand and wanted to crush it. Qiao Xi saw his mood change and took the lead to take the glass away. Her fingertips lightly touched his skin, but he didn't react much.

She had a vague feeling that after a while, when his illness completely recovered, she would be able to leave the Shen family.

"Qiao Xi, you're defining our relationship like this?"

Shen Yeyan lowered her voice as she released her aura. A fine, dense mass of energy assaulted her face, making her feel a little breathless. Her brain spun. Could it be that he was treating her like that?

"Mister Shen."

"Am I not your benefactor?"

Qiao Xi thought he was going to say something else but the person who spoke was his benefactor. She suddenly felt relieved and relaxed. She looked over with a smile and said, "Yes, Mr. Shen is indeed my benefactor. Let me toast you."

She poured herself a glass of wine. Even though she toasted him, he was still upset. Just now, he almost blurted out that he was going to scare her.

She had just ended a relationship and was having a bad time. Right now, it was not a good situation.

As for Qiao Xi, who drank two cups in a row, his face turned even redder. Her petite body leaned back on the sofa, and Shen Yeyan leaned over to talk to her in a low tone. Their auras intertwined, but there was no ambiguous action.

He was an experienced player, so how could Xiao Xiao be his opponent? Lu Tingxiao had watched the entire process of Gu Yunfan eating the little white rabbit, until he had drunk Xiao Xiao unconscious and leaned back on the sofa.

She fell down too quickly, causing Gu Yunfan to be slightly surprised. This little girl could hold her own, but not drink?

"Get up, let's continue playing."

He reached out to pull her away, but she slapped him away. The little girl's actions were ruthless, and with a "pa" sound, she reverberated through the room. Lu Tingxiao watched with a straight face, almost praising her.

Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at him, feeling dizzy. Seeing him reach out his hand again, she did not use her hand this time and immediately used her foot, she had practiced Taekwondo since she was young, and her foot strength was much stronger than her hand. She kicked forward, causing even the tall and sturdy Gu Yunfan to groan in pain as he moved backwards.

She raised her foot at an extremely fast speed. Even before he could react, she had already finished kicking him in one go. Her body continued to lean against the sofa, half-squinting her innocent eyes, as if she wasn't the one who kicked him.

The little girl's foot strength was good, so she kicked out Gu Yunfan, who had been trained in it.

Gu Yunfan fiercely rubbed his chin after being kicked. He grew more cautious as he stared at her.

Lu Tingxiao smiled as he came over to tease her: "Old Gu, your waist isn't good either."

Gu Yunfan snorted as he gave a fake smile. "Come and give her a try."

Lu Tingxiao considered himself to be tender and tender, he hurriedly waved his hands: "I won't disturb you, take it easy."

Old Gu was afraid that this was the first time he had seen a girl this passionate. He thought that her resistance towards drunkenness was zero, so how could she know that her battle prowess was off the charts?

Qiao Xi was a little dizzy. He was pulled up by Shen Ye An, but he still followed him obediently.

She did not forget about Xiao Xiao and was comforted by Shen Yeyan. "Gu Yunfan will send her back later. I'll send you back first."

Qiao Xi's eyes widened as she nodded. Shen Ye An looked back and explained. Gu Yunfan nodded: "You guys take care."

He didn't believe that he couldn't control a little girl.

Li Ran had been waiting in the parking lot since early morning. He could see Mr. Shen and Qiao Xi walking over side by side. Once in a while, Mr. Shen would give her a hand.

After getting on the car, the smell of alcohol on Qiao Xi's body intensified. Her head fell to the side and she closed her eyes to fall asleep. The car started up and she occasionally drove past the speed bump.

When Shen Yeyan saw this, the look in his eyes became even deeper. Like the pitch-black night outside his window, he slowly touched her head and gently turned it to place it on his shoulder.

The car was quiet. He held his breath, his heart thumping in his chest. His hands were clenched at his sides, and his calm face was deeply furrowed.

He still did not push her away, trying his best to endure the discomfort.

When Li Ran saw through the rearview mirror, he was astonished. Mr. Shen had completely recovered?

Of course, Qiao Xi didn't know that he had fallen asleep with his back against his shoulder. He was even sleeping soundly. His hand subconsciously held onto something and felt for the back of his sleeve to calm down.

Shen Yeyan let her drag him. He lowered his voice and said, "Slow down."

Li Ran immediately understood. He slowed down his speed and watched as the cars passed by.

"..."

Qiao Xi could not remember how he had come back last night. The first thing he did when he woke up was to call Xiao Xiao, but there was no answer.

She couldn't stop worrying. She called a few times, but no one answered. In the end, she had no choice but to call Shen Yenan.

When Shen Yeyan, who was in charge of the morning meeting, saw the caller ID, he immediately pushed his chair away without saying a word and rushed out. The department manager, who was reporting the project, felt worried and stood to the side nervously.

Li Ran was the red person in front of Mister Shen. The project manager whispered, "What happened to Mister Shen?"

In normal meetings, Shen Yeyan rarely answered the phone. He was extremely serious throughout the entire process, which made everyone hold their breath and not dare to lose their focus.

Li Ran rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "It's probably a private matter."

Everyone present was intelligent, so they nodded in understanding. The project manager was no longer flustered, as this was a good thing.

As Shen Yeyan listened to Qiao Xi's stern accusation, he comforted her with a slight headache.

"Don't worry, I'll call him and ask."

"I'll have to trouble Mister Shen to hurry up."
