C65 Insidious Probing

She looked over her shoulder. His shirt collar was standing, and he was looking up at her.

With her tie hanging on the arm of the sofa, she pursed her lips and smiled. "Mister Shen, are you bad with your hands?"

Shen Yeyan wasn't angered by her statement. He tightened his jaw and said, "Mhmm, shoulder circumference. Lifting your head hurts."

"Then you should see a doctor."

"That's also tomorrow's matter. Help me tie it up now."

Qiao Xi frowned elegantly. His current actions were both hoodlum and evil, what did that mean?

Shen Ye An saw that her eyes were filled with confusion as she stared at him. With sparkling eyes, he once again shook his collar and said, "Come, let's hurry."

Qiao Xi's heart was violently struggling. She could tell that Shen Ye An did it on purpose, but she couldn't figure out what he meant. Taking a deep breath, she walked over, took off her tie, and walked around the back of his neck.

Shen Yeyan was a lot taller than him. Furthermore, she was standing on flats and was just about to tiptoe when the man suddenly lowered his head slightly. Their two faces suddenly came close to each other as their breath intertwined and their noses almost touched.

Qiao Xi's heart was pounding. His face was slightly red, and his ears were burning.

Shen Yeyan's heart raced, as if it wanted to jump out of his chest. Even if it was only a light approach, it caused the muscles on his body to involuntarily tense up. He tightened his grip on the side and even became cautious in his breathing.

Qiao Xi's hands did not touch his skin. She quickly turned up the collar and tied the tie. She had seen the tutorial online before and vaguely knew the method. However, the more anxious she was, the easier it was to tie it wrongly.

Shen Yeyan stood there without moving. Her eyelids drooped, and she undid the rest of her clothes. She didn't seem to be very proficient in it.

His eyes fell on her lightly pursed lips, dark red and small and lovely, and the more he worried, the more her lips pressed together, almost a thin line, and now he missed the warmth of her lips in his head, the softness, the fragrance, the taste he remembered, and he couldn't get it out of his head.

Shen Yeyan used to blame himself for having such good memories. But now, he was secretly happy. The events that happened that night had caused their relationship to grow a little closer.

Qiao Xi clumsily finally tied it up. He immediately felt relieved and took a step back to keep a certain distance between them.

Without waiting for him to speak, he quickly picked up the clothes he had changed and said, "I'll have someone send them to dry cleaning."

Shen Ye An caressed her tied tie, seemingly bringing with it the warmth of her hands. His black eyes revealed a satisfied smile, and his brows slightly narrowed as he said, "I threw it away."

"Hmm?"

"There's no need to wash it. Throw it away."

Qiao Xi was stunned at first, then quickly threw it into the trash can.

"What did Secretary Lin do to you?"

"I don't know much about her."

"Mm, if it's making things difficult for you, you don't have to give her face."

Secretary Lin belonged to his mother, so naturally, Qiao Xi wouldn't cause him any trouble.

"I'll go out first."

"Alright, let's have dinner together tonight."

Qiao Xi refused. "I have some matters to attend to tonight. I will be back before 9 PM."

Shen Ye An was unhappy in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. "Mhmm, I'll be back early."

She nodded and left. When she went out, she saw Secretary Lin standing at the door. Fortunately, the office was soundproof.

"Miss Qiao, has Mister Shen changed into a new set of clothes?"

"Yes."

Secretary Lin smiled. Qiao Xi didn't wait for her to speak before leaving.

Shen Ye An happily twisted his tie a few times. Even though it was a bit tight, he didn't seem to mind it at all.

Secretary Lin stood at the door for a long time before mustering up the courage to knock.

Seeing that it was her again, the smile on Shen Ye An's face immediately disappeared.

"What's the matter?"

"Mister Shen, I'll send you the clothes you changed out of."

"No need. Get out."

Lin Yinyin was about to persevere when she suddenly saw the clothes that had been thrown into the trash can. She swallowed all the words that were about to come out of her mouth, turned around and walked out with reddened eyes.

Shen Yeyan had met Lin Yinyin once when she was young. She had gone home with Jiang Ying to visit her relatives. However, all these years, if she hadn't been assigned to his side, she would have forgotten this person.

She could clearly see that he was the one who directed the coffee incident today. He had his own agenda.

Qiao Xi planned to go to Xiao Xiao's place after work that night. However, when she was shopping at the supermarket opposite the building, she met Shen Yiling who was also shopping. She pushed her shopping cart over and walked steadily from the opposite side.

Shen Ye Ling looked like a man who had just finished work. He had a coat hanging from his arm, his tie was loosened, and his hair was a little messy. In the shopping cart, there were a few boxes of vegetables and meat.

Qiao Xi carried a few bags of snacks. Seeing her from afar, Shen Ye Ling quickened his pace and walked over.

"Miss Qiao, what a coincidence."

Qiao Xi smiled with a probing expression. "Will Teacher Shen also shop in this supermarket?"

Shen Ye Ling nodded his head and replied, "Yes, I live nearby. If you are a person, you have to eat."

"Mr. Shen, you cooked yourself? "It's quite surprising."

"Well, you're not the first one to say that."

Shen Ye An lived in a large villa. There were many servants in the house, but Shen Ye Ling, who was also the son of the Shen family, lived in a nearby apartment. He didn't even get a job every hour.

Qiao Xi was curious about the treatment given to the two sons of the Shen family, but did not dare to probe any further.

"Miss Qiao also lives nearby?"

"No, I came to buy something."

"Recently, Miss Qiao and my younger brother's relationship seems to be very harmonious."

Qiao Xi nodded carelessly. "Just like that. It's not really a good relationship."

Out of the corner of his eyes, Shen Yiling glanced at Qiao Xi bent over to pick up the yogurt. Yesterday, on Valentine's Day, he specially sent someone to follow Shen Yeyan. In the end, the two of them passed the holidays together and went home together.

In the past, not to mention a woman, his brother did not even have a mother fly by his side.

"Now he has Secretary Lin by his side."

"Mm, Secretary Lin is in charge of different things from me. Our division of labor is different, we basically won't have any interactions."

He had already investigated Secretary Lin's background. He would not move the people that Jiang Ying specially arranged for Shen Yeyan, and there was no need to.

Qiao Xi finished choosing her yogurt. Seeing that Shen Ye Ling was still elegantly standing at the side waiting for her, she took a few small steps forward. "I've already bought it. What about you?"

"That's about it."

"Then go and pay the bill."

She walked in front. At night, there were many people in the supermarket. Shen Yiling pushed the cart and walked at the back. There were also a lot of people at the cashier's office. The two of them stood in front and behind.

Shen Ye Ling swapped the jacket in his arms with a hand, and impatiently grabbed the incoming phone, turning it off. He leaned his body forward, and a trace of calculation flashed across his gentle eyes: "Miss Qiao, are you treating my brother during the day now?"

Faced with Shen Ye Ling's deliberate probing, Qiao Xi smiled. "It depends on the situation. It will also depend on Teacher Shen's own intentions."

"I think he's recovered quite well recently."

"Mmm, normal."

"Is it getting closer?"

"I'm not sure about that at all."

Shen Ye Ling could tell that she was hitting Tai Ji. He clenched his hand tightly.

"It was all thanks to Miss Qiao that he was able to recover his current appearance."

"No, it's also his own credit."

It just so happened that Qiao Xi paid the bill. She heaved a sigh of relief and quickly passed the things over.

After she paid the bill, she waited for Shen Ye Ling behind her and the two of them left the supermarket together.

The lights were already on in the city. She stood by the side of the road and stopped the car. Gentleman Shen Yeling opened the car door for her and watched as she drove away. His warm expression suddenly changed.
