The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng(126-230)

Chapter 126: Seeing President Sheng Looking at Pictures of Beautiful Women


The three women who entered the room and saw Sheng Mingsi sitting in the center all had their eyes light up. Encountering such a handsome man was indeed rare! Everyone wanted to make a better impression!


Sheng Mingsi lowered his head to look at his phone, receiving a rainbow shower of hearts from the other end. His lips curled slightly.


What a childish fellow.


The sudden change in the usually calm person was noticed by Mr. Wang, who thought that inviting beautiful women this time was the right decision based on his advice. He waved his hand, signaling the women to come over and sit. The three women hurriedly approached, and the strong scent of perfume enveloped Sheng Mingsi. He furrowed his brows, his cold gaze sweeping over them, and the intense and gloomy look made the women stop in their tracks, afraid to come any closer.


After a moment of hesitation:


"President Sheng..."


A voice filled with grievances sounded.


Three different voices, but all the same kind of coquetry.


Sheng Mingsi showed a trace of disgust in his pitch-black eyes. He didn't bother to look at them and shifted his icy gaze towards Mr. Wang, sneering, "Since we can't have a normal conversation today, there won't be such an opportunity in the future."


He said these words almost mercilessly.


He put the wine glass on the table and stood up.


Mr. Wang panicked. Not only did he fail to secure the deal, but he also offended President Sheng. Offending President Sheng meant offending the entire Sheng Group!


What kind of mess was this?!


He glared angrily at the subordinate beside him and adjusted his expression, approaching with an apologetic face, trying to keep him here.


However, Sheng Mingsi's cold and oppressive aura made the beautiful women automatically step aside, not daring to approach.


Although Mr. Wang was afraid, he had to grit his teeth and step forward to try to salvage the business deal.


"President Sheng! Please, let me explain..."


Sheng Mingsi glanced at him lightly. "What, blocking my way?"


Mr. Wang's heart skipped a beat, subconsciously stepping back. How could he dare to block his path! He didn't have that kind of courage! As he watched the person with a dark and oppressive aura walk away, the lingering fear in his heart remained.


Indeed, the rumors were true. Sheng Mingsi was not interested in women. Today, the collaboration ended because of this incident. He was furious and turned to the subordinate who proposed the idea.


The subordinate innocently said, "I really saw President Sheng looking at pictures of beautiful women on his phone!!!"


...


Secretary Anze followed behind Sheng Mingsi. "President Sheng, is the collaboration over this time?"


"No need to collaborate. Blacklist them."


Secretary Anze: Just as expected of President Sheng's style!


That Mr. Wang must be insane, daring to send women to President Sheng!


"President Sheng, can we shorten the remaining schedule? There are two days left to finalize the deal for that piece of land. Shall I reschedule your flight one day earlier?"


"Go ahead."


"Alright, President Sheng."


Although Secretary Anze saw that President Sheng was looking at his phone even after getting in the car, he didn't dare to look too much, afraid to see something he shouldn't and get fired on the spot.


In the back seat of the car, Sheng Mingsi, with his head down, looked at the message that appeared after the rainbow shower hearts.


Chenchen: Thank you, Brother Ah Si. When are you coming back? I miss you a bit.


He stared at this message for a long time. The emotions in his deep, dark eyes surged. Although he knew she always spoke straightforwardly and it was just a simple familial yearning, he still couldn't suppress the emotions in his heart, clenching the phone tightly.


His slender fingers landed on the phone screen, seemingly hesitant about the next move.


Suddenly, a video call popped up, dispersing his thoughts. He instinctively answered, and when he saw the person on the phone, his gaze condensed, returning to his usual cold and serious expression.


He plugged in his earphones.


A stern and serious expression.


"What's wrong?"


Jiang Chenchen was delighted to see the person she wanted to meet on her phone.


"Brother Ah Si! I didn't know we could video call like this. Now, even though you're far away, I can still see you."


So, this was how the function worked. It seemed she truly wasn't addicted to her phone.


Sheng Mingsi looked at her through the phone screen, her exceptionally clear face transitioning from a fleeting moment in his mind to right in front of him, exceptionally vivid.


He maintained his usual cold appearance, but inside, his thoughts were fragile and easily shattered!


"Brother Ah Si, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chenchen, seeing him silent, quickly asked.


Sheng Mingsi lowered his gaze and whispered, "Something unexpected."


"Then, are you happy to see me like I am to see you?"


He nodded, "Mm."


Jiang Chenchen was very happy because Sheng Mingsi was happy to see her.


So she continued, "Thank you for the gifts. I'll also give you a gift when you come back. Do you want to know what it is?"


Sheng Mingsi asked, "What gift?"


"I won't tell you, Brother Ah Si. I have to go to the classroom soon. I'll hang up now."


Sheng Mingsi: ? So now she's into suspense?


"Wait!"


"Hmm?" Jiang Chenchen quickly withdrew her hand.


Sheng Mingsi leaned back on the back seat of the car. Despite his lazy posture, his expression became even colder. At the same time, he restrained his voice and said:


"Button up your collar."


Jiang Chenchen, upon hearing this, looked down. It was hot after running back and forth to get the packages, so she unbuttoned two buttons, and the red necktie hung loosely beneath her collar.


The slightly open collar revealed a small area of fair skin on her chest, gleaming like jade under the indoor fluorescent lights.


Exceptionally dazzling.


Although Sheng Mingsi had averted his gaze, after the reminder, Jiang Chenchen adjusted her collar this time.


She did all of this casually, completing it without much thought, as if she hadn't considered that the person on the other side could be unable to bear looking straight at her.


"Study hard."


He said this and watched as she hung up before putting away his phone.


In the front seat, Anze was shocked by the last sentence. In what context would such an instruction be necessary?!


The driver, Wu Bi, remained calm.


He gave Anze a meaningful look, conveying: Don't make a fuss.


Anze: ?! Things are really not that simple!


The two exchanged glances secretly, not daring to be too obvious. However, Sheng Mingsi in the back seat saw everything.


"Eyesight not good? You can see a doctor."


Both of them: "..."


This was Sheng Mingsi in a good mood. If he were in a bad mood, he might say something like, "Even if you donate them, they're not qualified," and his gaze wouldn't spare anyone.


Even in the warm spring breeze... just be content!


Sheng Mingsi was indeed in a good mood. He saw the person he wanted to see, heard her voice, and even had a bit of anticipation.


She mentioned giving a gift. What could she give?


The project progressed very smoothly, and Sheng Mingsi returned home half a day early.


So, the flight arrived around midnight. When he got off the plane, he saw a familiar figure at the airport pickup area. His dark eyes flickered slightly, and his cold expression changed slightly. Was this the gift she mentioned?!


He walked towards her with furrowed brows. However, at a distance, he saw a tightly wrapped figure walking ahead, and Jiang Chenchen approached that person.

Chapter 127: Angry

The figure was tightly wrapped, and Sheng Mingsi didn't know who it was, but it looked somewhat familiar.

Jiang Chenchen, after receiving that person, helped him with the luggage and walked together, completely ignoring her own reflection.

It didn't seem like a passive or deceived situation; rather, it appeared that she genuinely waited for this person at the airport.

This person was someone else, not him.

Sheng Mingsi's gaze instantly darkened.

His face showed a very gloomy expression.

Neither of the two assistants dared to speak. One didn't understand, and the other knew the seriousness of the situation!

Wu Bi thought, "Oh no, Young Master Sheng's charitable aid student is picking up another man! Ignoring Young Master Sheng, too! What's going on with Miss Jiang?"

Although Sheng Mingsi's expression was gloomy, his icy demeanor was daunting. He calmly instructed, "Go check who that person is."

Wu Bi quickly took action, not daring to delay.

Sheng Mingsi, without stopping, walked forward, retracting his cold gaze, not looking in that direction but leaving the airport and getting into the waiting car.

The inside of the dark car felt ominous, like the eve before a storm, making Secretary Anze reluctant to say much.

Even the driver, sensing the off atmosphere, kept his mouth shut.

Finally, in the car, Sheng Mingsi received a call from Wu Bi. "Speak."

Wu Bi took a couple of breaths and said, "Young Master Sheng, that person is the celebrity Lu Su, the one who participated in the variety show with Miss Jiang!"

His voice lowered as he continued, "They had a CP (couple) hype during the show, and although it ended as a joke later on, many video clips from that period are popular online."

Now, Miss Jiang is picking up Lu Su. What does that mean?

Doesn't she fear being photographed by entertainment gossip reporters?

Or perhaps, she doesn't care if she gets photographed?

Speculations were running wild for a moment, and on the other end of the call, Sheng Mingsi fell silent for a moment.

"Follow her. If there's no danger, there's no need to continue following."

Wu Bi had followed Young Master Sheng for many years but couldn't discern the tone in his voice. After giving this instruction, he hung up.

Without thinking too much, Wu Bi continued to follow the car.

Jiang Chenchen didn't see Sheng Mingsi and didn't know that after leaving the airport, he didn't return home but went to a bar.

She received a call from Lu Su and came over the school dormitory wall.

It was already one in the morning, and the reason she came so late to pick him up was that Lu Su said he was secretly flying back alone, without his manager or assistant.

Lu Su claimed he wanted to discuss the birthday party tomorrow.

Although he said that, he only wanted to see her. After finishing the commercial performance in another city, he had been busy attending banquets with various people, wearing a painful mask to hide his exhaustion and presenting himself as an energetic and sunny idol.

Escaping from the banquet was his decision. Taking a breath of fresh air, meeting the person he wanted to see, perhaps there wouldn't be another opportunity like this in the future.

The taxi stopped at a 24-hour convenience store.

Lu Su got out of the car, walked to the flower bed, and bent over to vomit.

He vomited all the burning alcohol and food, leaning against a tree and feeling unsteady.

Jiang Chenchen went into the convenience store, got a bottle of water, and handed it to him. Lu Su took it and gulped down a few sips, closed his eyes, and rested for a while before feeling a bit better.

But his head still hurt.

He steadied himself, trying to pretend nothing was wrong.

This rare meeting didn't deserve to be seen in a sorry state. Even though he was still seen.

"Sorry..."

Jiang Chenchen was puzzled, "Hmm?"

Lu Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Calling you out in the middle of the night, unable to sleep, making you accompany me in this desolate place. Let's go, I'll take you back."

He took two steps, and his steps were somewhat unsteady.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenchen reached out to support him, "You're sick."

His whole body was burning up, a high fever.

Having taken care of the sick Sheng Mingsi, she had some experience with this.

She helped him into the car, and then had the driver take them to the nighttime clinic. After getting the fever reduced, he unexpectedly fell asleep where he was injected.

Jiang Chenchen didn't know where his home was, and she couldn't stay there forever.

So she woke him up and then sent him back to his home.

Meanwhile, Sheng Mingsi, who was drinking at the bar, received another call from Wu Bi. He silently looked at the glass in his hand, sneered for a moment, emptied the glass again, and threw it on the ground. Watching the shattered glass, he walked over and stepped on it. Then he walked out of the bar, greeted by the cool night breeze. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and lit one.

His handsome and profound figure standing at the door attracted a lot of attention, even some women daringly approached, only to be scared away by his low voice.

No one dared to approach that terrifying aura.

He just smoked a cigarette. Lifting his gaze from the misty smoke, he walked to the trash can, extinguished the cigarette on the lid, then turned and left.

Someone approached him in high heels and called his name.

"Mingsi."

...

Jiang Chenchen sent Lu Su to his home and took care of him for a while.

Lu Su was very drowsy but resisted asking her, "Why did you come to the airport to pick me up? Calling you out in the middle of the night, disturbing your rest, making unreasonable requests, why did you agree?"

It made it easy for him to have illusions in such a weak state.

Did she have a different perception of herself now?

Jiang Chenchen covered him with a blanket, sat on the side of the bed, and said, "Because you were willing to help a friend of mine, so I helped you."

"Is it just that?"

"Yeah."

Such a straightforward answer filled his eyes with disappointment, as if he already knew this would be the result. He smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Sure enough, it's you."

Even if there were many more words, he knew he shouldn't say them.

"I'm sorry for bothering you for so long and delaying your rest. It's all my selfish and unreasonable requests. I owed you a favor from the start, performing a song for your friend's birthday party was the least I could do."

Lu Su lowered his eyes and said, "I shouldn't demand anything more, taking up your time."

"It's okay; missing a bit of sleep won't hurt me much."

Jiang Chenchen spoke truthfully, but Lu Su felt guilty facing such candor.

"At the airport, I saw your brother."

Lu Su finally confessed because of his deliberate avoidance; he had managed to avoid Jiang Chenchen's gaze.

"I'm sorry."

He said it again.

Jiang Chenchen finally realized that Sheng Mingsi was also at the airport?

Chapter 128: Do You Want to Find Him at Anluo Hotel

"Did he see me?" 

"Probably."

Lu Su lowered his voice, which sounded fragile and hoarse due to his illness. This time, he had made a serious mistake. Acting so unscrupulously, he even despised himself.

Jiang Chenchen lowered her gaze, pondering. Why did he see her and not call out to her?

Seeing her silent, Lu Su thought about the sharpness and gloominess of that man when he saw him last time, as well as the protective aura emanating from him. It was so intense that it made him doubt involuntarily.

Thinking about that man's gaze, he felt a chill down his spine. His fragile eyelashes trembled, and he finally couldn't help asking, "Is he... really your brother?"

His voice interrupted Jiang Chenchen's thoughts.

She looked up, "Yes, he's my brother."

Lu Su looked into her clear and honest eyes, seemingly not understanding.

Thinking to this point, he smiled helplessly, shook his head, and said, "Let's not let you stay here any longer. I'll go find your brother and clarify things."

Hearing this, Jiang Chenchen glanced at the clock on the bedside table. It was so late; was he asleep?

But she still left Lu Su's room, feeling uneasy, and made a call.

No one answered the phone for a long time, and she was about to hang up.

Suddenly, it connected.

"Hello?"

A clear and ethereal voice mixed with the noisy background music.

Jiang Chenchen was stunned, not understanding the situation. Why did someone else answer Sheng Mingsi's phone?

"Who are you?"

The woman on the other end turned off the car's interior music, glanced at the man slouched in the back seat, cold even when drunk. Her lips curved into a smile as she spoke to the phone, "Oh, Mingsi got drunk. If you have something important, find him tomorrow."

She paused, looked at the notes on her phone, and continued, "You're called... Chenchen, right? If he wakes up, I'll pass on the message."

When she said 'Chenchen,' she seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Jiang Chenchen listened and, feeling that the call was about to end, hurriedly said, "Wait."

The woman on the other end asked with interest, "What's the matter?"

"Where are you guys?"

"If you want to find him, come to Anluo Hotel."

After saying this, she hung up.

Anluo Hotel?

Jiang Chenchen put down her phone, muttering to herself.

Why would Sheng Mingsi be at the hotel? Who was that woman on the phone?

Lu Su heard what she said outside the door, struggled to get up from the bed, pushed open the door, leaned against the door frame, and looked at her, "Let's go find him together. Maybe there's a misunderstanding!"

"What misunderstanding?"

Jiang Chenchen shook her head, "No need. Go lie down and rest quickly."

"I have a car. Can you drive? Take my car."

Lu Su coughed, dragging his weak body to get the car keys for her, "Be careful on the road. Call me if anything happens."

Jiang Chenchen took the car keys, "Then, I'm leaving."

The calmer and more expressionless she appeared, the more uncertain he felt.

Watching her departing figure, he felt worried. If something really happened and made her unhappy, he would never forgive himself.

...

Jiang Chenchen drove towards Anluo Hotel. Along the way, she felt uneasy for some reason and almost ran a red light.

Following the navigation, she arrived at the location. Parking on the roadside, she got out of the car and walked towards the hotel. Since the woman on the phone didn't specify the room, she went to the front desk to inquire.

The front desk clerk had been instructed and told her the room number.

She took the elevator. When the number stopped at 12, the elevator door opened. She walked out and knocked on the door of room 1201.

The door was surprisingly not locked.

The room was very dark, with melodious music playing.

"Brother Ah Si?"

She called out, took two steps inside, and smelled a strong perfume. The bathroom light was on, and there was someone inside.

The sound of running water came, as if someone was taking a shower.

Was it Brother Ah Si or the woman from the phone?

For some reason, her footsteps inexplicably slowed down, and she didn't call out to anyone again.

There was a dim light at the bedside. She saw Sheng Mingsi lying on the bed. His suit jacket was thrown on the floor, and his black shirt was unbuttoned, with the tie loosely hanging around the collar.

His hair was slightly messy, and he closed his eyes with a frowning forehead. His cheeks were flushed, and she could smell a strong scent of alcohol when she got closer.

This was how he looked when he drank a lot.

As she was about to step forward and call his name, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped. She turned to look, and not long after, someone pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.

As she was about to step forward and call his name, the water in the bathroom stopped, and she glanced over. Soon, someone pushed open the bathroom door and walked out.

With long wavy hair, as if she had just washed her face, the woman appeared natural, but her attire was sexy—a V-neck, high-slit long dress, revealing a pair of long legs.

Jiang Chenchen recognized this person.

The school doctor?

Fang Yiqing raised her slender eyebrows, ran her fingers through her hair that fell in front of her face, leaned against the bathroom door, and looked at her without any surprise, "It's really you!"

When she saw the name on the phone, she thought of this Chenchen. It couldn't be the same Jiang Chenchen she knew, right? Later, as soon as she heard the voice, she guessed it was her.

Jiang Chenchen stood by the bed without moving, looking at her, "Do you... know Mr. Sheng?"

Fang Yiqing chuckled at the sound, stepped forward on high heels, and said, "Mr. Sheng? Never mind whether I know him or not. How do you know him?"

"He's... my brother, who sponsored me for school."

Hearing this, Fang Yiqing raised her eyebrows even more and smiled more vividly, "Oh, that's how it is. After all the effort, no wonder he got a bit out of control tonight with his suppressed emotions while drinking."

"What do you mean by out of control?"

"Don't worry about that for now. Did you see a woman in his room? Reacting so calmly to booking a room in a hotel like this?"

Fang Yiqing looked at her with interest, her tone full of mockery.

Jiang Chenchen, with a bewildered expression, asked, "What do you mean?"

Fang Yiqing shook her head with a disappointed look in her eyes, "This is not the result I wanted to see. Now that you're here, I'll leave. I'll leave him to you. Otherwise, if he wakes up and sees me, he might be disappointed."

Seeing her about to leave, Jiang Chenchen took a few steps forward and asked, "Do you two know each other?"

Fang Yiqing carefully looked at her expression, suddenly became interested, and said, "Do you care?"

Jiang Chenchen nodded, "I care."

"Oh~" Fang Yiqing raised her slender eyebrows, "Do you know what a 'friend with benefits' is?"

Jiang Chenchen shook her head.

"It seems you're truly innocent!"

She asked again, "Do you know what it means for adults to drive?"

"I do."

"Oh? Are you over 18?"

"Nineteen."

"You're studying so late?" Fang Yiqing doubted for a moment, still staring at her with interest, "If I want him now, would you react the same way?"

"What do you mean by 'want him'?"

Jiang Chenchen was confused.

Fang Yiqing felt that the conversation couldn't continue. Even though she considered herself an expert in relationships, experienced in flirting with both men and women, facing the girl in front of her, she felt helpless.

"Give me your phone!"

"Um?"

Jiang Chenchen handed over her phone, and Fang Yiqing searched for a term and then returned it to her, "Your knowledge of biology is lacking. Take a look."

The term on the screen was... two words.

Chapter 129: Embraced All Night?

???

Spring has come, and it's the season for animals to mate?!

Mating?

Jiang Chenchen tilted her head and looked at the search results.

Fang Yiqing observed her, finding her seemingly serious about learning.

Just because of her studious appearance, Fang Yiqing told her what she wanted to ask.

"I'm really leaving this time. But we don't have that kind of relationship. Don't misunderstand. I'm his cousin, the kind that has severed ties with family."

"His cousin?"

"Of course, if you call me that way, I'll respond."

Fang Yiqing blinked at her, then reminded her, "Expand your knowledge a bit. From animal reproduction to human reproduction. If your knowledge is comprehensive, don't cross the line."

Then she left with a smile.

Jiang Chenchen watched her inexplicably disappearing from her sight.

Human reproduction?

The door closed, and the room suddenly became exceptionally quiet.

Jiang Chenchen didn't expect that the school's medical doctor would turn out to be Sheng Mingsi's cousin, saying they had severed family ties.

The movement of the person on the bed drew back her attention. It seemed that he was really drunk, even falling off the bed in his sleep with a flip.

Seeing this, Jiang Chenchen quickly put down her phone and reached out to catch him. Although the thick carpet covered the floor, it would still be disorienting to suddenly fall like that.

Her reaction was quick, and she caught him easily. The heavy body pressed against her slender arms.

Suddenly, she approached the clear and cool breath mixed with a strong smell of alcohol. It was a unique fragrance belonging to him.

He seemed to be really drunk. Falling off the bed like that, he just made an unconscious hum without waking up.

But he was so close to Jiang Chenchen. His slightly flushed face unconsciously leaned against her neck, different from when he was sober. In this dark and silent night, she felt dazed for a moment.

"Brother Ah Si..."

She called softly.

The person in front of her rubbed against her neck, as if finding a comfortable position. One big hand embraced her slender waist, and a long leg rested on her leg.

The sleeping breath fell on her ear, somewhat ticklish. She shrank back a bit, wanting to avoid but didn't. Because the person in front of her had firmly trapped her here.

The night grew darker and deeper.

She remained motionless, but her heart in her chest became uncomfortable. For some reason, this strange feeling came again.

Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her fair face. His sound sleep drew her attention back, and she realized that she hadn't pushed him away.

He seemed to be sleeping very well.

As the night slowly passed in this inexplicable suffering, Jiang Chenchen fell asleep gradually.

When Sheng Mingsi was about to wake up, he felt the softness under him. He opened his icy eyes, pushed away the person next to him with a hand, and was bewildered when he saw it was Jiang Chenchen?!

He thought it might be a dream, but he was so clear-headed. The alcohol from last night stimulated his brain nerves. He recalled the events of last night.

He met his cousin, whom he hadn't seen in many years, said a few words, heard that she was a formidable surgeon abroad but gave up for some reason.

Casually chatting for a while, he drank more with her. His alcohol tolerance shouldn't lead to this, intoxicated to the point of falling asleep. It seemed that his cousin might have drugged him a bit.

After many years, she was still unconventional, not following the usual path.

He sneered, his expression cold and stern.

But now, how did Jiang Chenchen end up here?

As soon as his gaze touched her, it softened.

How did she end up sleeping next to him, or did she sleep like this all night? He had slept with her so closely in physical contact for the whole night! The heavy curtains kept the room dimly lit, but just thinking about it threw his emotions into chaos.

Realizing that his hand was still resting on her slender waist, his dark eyes flickered, and he immediately moved away, sitting up, and took off the tie from his black shirt, his breathing hurried and chaotic.

A person of elegance and coldness lost his composure for a moment.

He looked down at the person beneath him.

In this life, he might never have done such a ridiculous thing.

To sleep on a carpet with a woman like this.

And that person was Jiang Chenchen!

She was still sound asleep, her long eyelashes trembling fragilely, like a butterfly weakly flapping its wings in the rain at night, frowning, her skin pale, perhaps having a nightmare.

The emotional fluctuations were so intense that Sheng Mingsi's eyes deepened. He gently bent down, picked her up from the carpet, placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket. Then he reached out to touch her forehead, feeling a slight coolness. His fingers, with distinct joints, paused for a moment, and he gently smoothed her furrowed brow.

He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Like the gentlest person in the world comforting the most precious one.

Word by word, with enough patience.

The person in the dream seemed to have received comfort and strength. Her facial expression gradually relaxed, as clear as water, calm.

Only then did Sheng Mingsi relax and stood up, running his hand through his already messy hair. He walked towards the bathroom with long strides.

The sound of water started in the bathroom.

After taking a calming shower, he pushed open the bathroom door and saw Jiang Chenchen standing somewhat dazed outside, surprising him.

Fortunately, she had dressed properly before coming out.

But those straight and staring eyes were inevitable.

After all, after sleeping together in a hotel room all night and then encountering each other in the bathroom like this, it was hard to avoid some emotional fluctuations in a sober state.

As an adult man, he really restrained himself.

But his outward appearance remained calm and indifferent, showing no signs.

"What's wrong?"

"I thought... you left me alone."

Jiang Chenchen looked up at him, resembling a fragile little rabbit in front of him.

"How could I?" Sheng Mingsi's eyes, deep black, said, "I was taking a shower."

His tall and straight figure was right in front of her, and the cold aura was a familiar scent.

Jiang Chenchen woke up from the haze, confirmed that he hadn't left, and felt a little more relieved.

"Brother Ah Si."

She took a step forward.

He had to take a step back.

"Don't... don't come closer."

A low, restrained voice came.

Chapter 130: Sheng Shao... Not Okay

"Hmm?"

Jiang Chenchen's footsteps stopped when she saw his strange reaction, feeling a bit aggrieved, thinking that he might still be upset.

"I just wanted to wash my face."

Sheng Mingsi: "..."

He restrained his gaze, and casually turned to let her in.

Jiang Chenchen didn't move at first, her brows knitted. "Brother Ah Si, were you mad at me just now?"

Seeing her like this, Sheng Mingsi explained earnestly, "No, I just... smoked in the bathroom, afraid you might find it irritating."

Hearing this, Jiang Chenchen's expression relaxed. "Oh, that's okay then."

Then she went in.

Sheng Mingsi quickly stepped out, reaching back to close the bathroom door.

He took a moment by the door, then quickly walked over to pull aside the curtains, allowing the faint sunlight to stream in. Facing the light, he closed his eyes to calm himself.

The incident from last night, seeing her meet the male celebrity at the airport, resurfaced in his mind. He propped himself against the window sill, his gaze deep.

The phone on the bed vibrated, and Sheng Mingsi diverted his attention. It was Jiang Chenchen's phone.

Did the male celebrity call?

Thinking of this, Sheng Mingsi's expression darkened, and he walked over, bending down to pick up the phone from the floor. The caller's name was displayed: Bai Junwen.

He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then called out to the bathroom, "Chenchen, it's your phone!"

Jiang Chenchen, washing her face and hair, heard his voice. Her head was covered in foam, and she opened one eye, walking to the door and pushing it open with her elbow. She poked her head out and said, "Brother Ah Si, who is it? Can you help me answer?"

Sheng Mingsi held the phone and looked at her with one eye open, foam sliding down her face. She had raised her arms, and the sleeves were pushed up, with some wet spots on the cuffs.

In any case, she looked like an ordinary girl with a full sense of life.

Seeing this, Sheng Mingsi's gaze softened, looking at the phone, helping her answer the call.

"Is Bai Junwen your classmate?"

"Yes."

Sheng Mingsi heard a female voice on the other end, apparently another female classmate.

"She's washing her hair."

The other end seemed to be startled by the male voice, made a hurried sound, and quickly hung up.

Sheng Mingsi was a bit puzzled. What was so terrifying about the four words he just said?

But he didn't think much about it. Seeing Jiang Chenchen had already entered the bathroom to wash her hair, he was about to put the phone down. However, he saw a missed call in the call log, with a note: Lu Su.

That celebrity.

Seeing this, Sheng Mingsi's face darkened, but when he saw the call came at 3:30 in the morning, he calmed down a bit. At that time, Jiang Chenchen was in his arms.

Thinking of this, he relaxed a little, exited the missed call list, prepared to turn off the phone, and then, on the next page that popped up, there was a science article about animal mating.

Sheng Mingsi's face turned black. What was this guy curious about?

He turned off the phone, tossed it onto the bed, then walked to the sofa, opened a bottle of water, took a sip, placed it on the coffee table, and sat down on the sofa. He rested his cheek on one hand, legs casually propped up, half-closed his eyes, waiting for her.

Today was Sunday, and he didn't know what her plans were. Would they have breakfast together after leaving here, and then he would take her to that place?

However, she had mentioned once before that she had other plans today.

He opened his eyes, and the dimness in his eyes deepened. Standing up from the sofa, he went to the bed, picked up his suit jacket, put it on casually, grabbed a tie, tied it messily, reached into his pocket for his phone, and pulled out a... condom?

On it was attached a card with a line of handwriting, like a child's writing.

"Do you like this gift?"

Sheng Mingsi was momentarily petrified!?

He remembered that Jiang Chenchen had mentioned giving him a gift when she returned. Was this her gift?!

Jiang Chenchen finally emerged from the bathroom with dry hair, casually draped. She bit a rubber band and tied her hair into a ponytail. Looking over, she asked, "Brother Ah Si, what are you looking at?"

Sheng Mingsi quickly put the condom back into his pocket, his expression unchanged.

"Nothing."

Finally, he understood. This was the work of that cousin! She had spent many years abroad, and her Chinese characters resembled Jiang Chenchen's.

Jiang Chenchen nodded and didn't think much of it.

"Brother Ah Si, what did my classmate say when she called just now?"

"She didn't say much; she just hung up."

Jiang Chenchen took the phone and made a call. After a brief conversation, she hung up.

Sheng Mingsi, listening on the side, finally understood. It turned out that today she was celebrating her classmate's birthday and had invited Lu Su, whom she had asked him for help. Now, they were distressed about the dress for the birthday party.

Sheng Mingsi's mood suddenly improved a bit. He properly tied his tie. "Let's have breakfast first. What do you want to eat?"

Jiang Chenchen was also hungry, so she nodded. "I want ice cream."

As the two walked towards the door, Sheng Mingsi reached out to open it but quickly objected, "Ice cream in the morning is not allowed."

"Really? But I want it."

"Be obedient. No."

"Okay then."

Wu Bi, who was standing outside the door, heard this conversation, his face turning red.

So Young Master Sheng was so inflexible!? When Miss Jiang drove from Lu Su's apartment to here last night, he was surprised. Later, he discovered that the two had spent the night in this hotel room.

But Young Master Sheng... Wu Bi's thoughts went astray.

Sheng Mingsi glanced over, and Wu Bi shivered all over, feeling a bone-chilling coldness. He quickly adjusted his expression and said with a serious face, "Young Master Sheng, any instructions?"

"Prepare two sets of dresses and go to the hospital for an ear examination."

"Ear examination, for whom?"

Wu Bi reacted belatedly, realizing it was himself?! He inferred from what he heard. Young Master Sheng was truly someone who held grudges!

To avoid further persecution, he promptly disappeared from Young Master Sheng's sight.

Jiang Chenchen found it strange. "Is something wrong with your ears?"

Sheng Mingsi: "..."

Sheng Mingsi said, "Don't worry about him."

They had breakfast in the hotel restaurant. After Jiang Chenchen was full, she asked about the airport incident from last night and also mentioned Lu Su suddenly having a fever and sending her home.

She spoke openly, and since Sheng Mingsi felt the matter had been clarified, he pretended not to understand and said, "I didn't see you at the airport. Were you there too?"

Jiang Chenchen, feeling relieved this time, was not angry.

"Why did you get drunk then?"

"Let's not talk about that. What about the gift you promised me after I came back?"

Sheng Mingsi was curious, as long as it wasn't that thing in his pocket.
