C67 Planned Tourism

It was already past nine o'clock when Qiao Xi left Xiao Xiao's place. He had been feeling apprehensive all the way home, but he did not see Shen Yeyan come back. He only found out about tonight's social event after asking Uncle Liu.

She felt relieved and quickly went upstairs to wash up. When she came out of the bathroom, she intentionally looked at the dark room across the hall.

She yawned, but resisted the urge to sleep, and went downstairs to make a cup of coffee.

In the dead of night, all the servants were asleep. She stood alone in the kitchen with only one wall light on, the dim light covering her body and casting a shadow on the wall.

In the dim light, she lowered her head slightly, resting one hand on her chin as she waited. The aroma of coffee slowly wafted through the air.

Shen Ye An entered the house and smelled the familiar aroma of coffee. He followed the smell into the kitchen and leaned against the door as he looked at Qiao Xi in the dim yellow light.

He stood there without moving for a while, until the smell of alcohol surged up in his body. His body tilted, and he touched the door. When Qiao Xi heard the sound and turned around, he looked at Shen Ye An in surprise.

"Give me a cup of coffee too."

"What you need more now is the Spirit-Sobering Tea."

She opened the refrigerator and took a bag from inside. She brought it to him before he could refuse.

"Drink it. Once your emotions have stabilized, we will begin the treatment."

He took a sip of the tea, which was a little hot, and sat down on a stool. Qiao Xi had already brewed coffee, and his spoon was gently stirring. Today's milk had a lot of polysaccharides.

She looked calmly at Shen Yeyan and said, "Your brother is really concerned about your illness."

"You met him again?"

However, the more he listened, the angrier he got. The more he listened, the angrier he got. From the start, Shen Ye Ling wasn't in the vicinity of the company. He was purposely getting close to Qiao Xi to find out about his illness.

"Mister Shen, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't want to get involved with your family's matters."

She had already made her stance known to Shen Yeyan. "En, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to you."

Because of Shen Ye Ling's scouting, she felt uncomfortable all over when she saw Shen Ye Ling. She couldn't help but want to avoid him.

"It's bothering me now."

"I know, wait a little longer."

Qiao Xi didn't know what he meant by that, so he didn't continue the conversation. She carried the cup of coffee and walked out of the kitchen. Shen Yeyan followed closely behind her. The two of them went upstairs one after the other.

He drank his wine and walked slowly, holding on to the railing, while she waited for him at the door.

Shen Ye An took a deep breath and quickened his pace. Under the dim light, his eyes were mixed with a hint of drunkenness. His cheeks were slightly red, and his actions seemed abnormal. His eyes were abnormally bright, especially when he looked at her.

Qiao Xi was about to step forward and pull him away when she thought of something. She abruptly retracted her hand. "You drank too much tonight. Are you still continuing with your treatment?"

He nodded affirmatively, then collapsed on the sofa after entering the room, pulling on his tie randomly. Seeing that he was getting increasingly messy, Qiao Xi couldn't help but help but help him as she opened up the knot with her slender fingers.

He happily took out his tie and undid a few buttons, revealing his collarbone and chest. "Let's begin."

His drunkenness rose to his neck, and when Qiao Xi saw him squinting his long and narrow eyes and not moving at all, she felt that he had fallen asleep if not for the light in his eyes.

She asked doubtfully, "Are you sure you can do it now?"

"Mm, you can begin."

Just as Shen Ye An finished speaking, he couldn't help yawning. His eyes narrowed even more and his eyelids drooped.

Qiao Xi smiled and got up. "It's better not to worry about it tonight. Go to sleep first."

She turned around and was about to leave when Shen Yeyan suddenly got up and hastily stopped her. However, he accidentally knocked on the tea table and knocked over the cup on top of it.

"Are you alright?"

Shen Yeyan's dark eyes locked onto her tightly. There was drunkenness in them, as well as her. After a long while, his throat moved slightly as he said, "I'm fine. Good night."

"En, good night."

She seemed to be frightened. After saying good night, she quickly left. He pinched his throbbing temples to suppress his emotions and closed the door behind him. His appearance just now was really scary.

Qiao Xi fled frantically. She thought that Shen Ye An would pull her and say something. Recently, she could vaguely feel that his attitude towards her was different from before. She hoped that she was thinking too much.

She purposely woke up late in the morning and didn't take Shen Yeyan's car. She went to Mrs Shen's office alone and met Li Ran at the door, waiting for her.

"Assistant Li."

Li Ran respectfully passed the registration form to her. "Miss Qiao, this is the company's annual high-level tourism. Take a look."

Qiao Xi took it in surprise. "This is a high-level tour, I don't think it's appropriate for me to go."

"No, this is what Mister Shen meant."

Qiao Xi could only nod and accept it. After entering the office, she looked carefully. All the overseas tourists on the island weren't cheap. The Shen family's upper echelons' benefits were really good.

She wondered if she should go and conveniently asked Xiao Xiao.

[Go, such a good opportunity to go out and play, don't spend your own money, why not?]

[What you say makes sense.]

[You just treat it as a holiday, I'm jealous of you. Let alone travelling, our unit doesn't even have a holiday.]

[Hmm, don't envy me, I might lose my job very soon and find a new job]

Xiao Xiao typed in a few question marks, but she did not explain.

[I've been waiting for you to come back from your travels, and you're coming with me to a reunion party at the university?]

Qiao Xi was shocked. She and Xiao Xiao were not in the same department!

[Is this appropriate?]

[Nothing is inappropriate. The whole year is here. There are people you know.]

Usually, the good people who graduated liked to go to the reunion parties, while the ordinary people like her would only be there as a foil.

[Hmm, let me know when the time comes]

[OK]

Amidst Xiao Xiao's nagging, she filled out the application form and passed it to Assistant Li.

Li Ran quickly entered the office to report, "Mister Shen, Miss Qiao has already filled out the registration form."

"Alright, arrange it as soon as possible."

"Understood."

In the past, the Shen family's high-level tours were always held in the second half of the winter. However, this year was earlier. Li Ran had clearly seen it and would have to be more meticulous and considerate towards Miss Qiao in the future.

After Li Ran left, Shen Yeyan fell into deep thought. How could he break the barrier between them?

It was a difficult task for someone who had no experience in love.
