SCHS - Chapter 48
Chapter 48
Wen Shixue had never been in love, let alone a secret relationship like this. Qin Zhen was completely her first love, a first love who considered her in every way.
She wrapped her arms around Qin Zhen's slender waist and looked at her face with eyes full of affection. Before confessing, she had considered both success and failure, but she had never expected Qin Zhen to hesitate and be conflicted. She cared about her even more than Wen Shixue had thought, and was also more cautious.
Therefore, the more she looked at Qin Zhen now, the more she liked her, and the more reluctant she was to let go. She felt that Qin Zhen was more precious than expensive jewelry and jade, incomparable to anything else in the world.
Who would have thought that Qin Zhen wasn't even her ideal type at first? Her previous idea was to find someone with a fun personality and have an interesting relationship. In the end, it couldn't compare to the charm of a mature woman—what was the point of being fun? How could it compare to Qin Zhen, who was a thousand times gentler to her and believed every word she said?
Wen Shixue: Mature and intellectual older sisters are just too wonderful!
She buried her face in Qin Zhen's embrace, let out a long sigh, and said, "Lao Qin, I don't want to go back to the company. I want to stay with you forever..."
Qin Zhen and Xu Meihui had just returned from a business trip. Wen Shixue, understanding their hard work, specifically gave them a day off to rest before returning to work the next day.
But Wen Shixue had changed. Love had dampened her enthusiasm for her career by half, especially now that their relationship was just confirmed. She was even more inseparable from Qin Zhen than before, wishing she could stick to her like glue.
Qin Zhen could understand her feelings. If she could, she would also want to keep the person by her side regardless of everything, just holding her, clinging to each other, making up for all the time they couldn't touch or had to be apart, little by little.
This was the person she had longed for. They could actually be of the same mind and become each other's girlfriends. How could she bear to let her go again?
But she had to be rational. She came to her side not to hinder her work. Moreover, Wen Shixue had been working hard to control her own destiny and live her own life. She couldn't let all her efforts be in vain.
One indulgence leads to another; a child cannot be spoiled.
So she gently stroked Wen Shixue's snow-white, smooth nape, leaned down, and whispered in her ear, "Be good, work is important. You've worked so hard for so long, you can't let it go to waste."
Although Wen Shixue really liked her speaking to her in such a low voice, she couldn't help but look up and gaze into her eyes, saying, "Lao Qin, you don't want to stay with me?"
Although being rational was good, in this situation, Wen Shixue wanted to hear some sweet words, about her, about them.
I like you, I want to stay with you forever, and I hope you feel the same. That was her thought.
Wen Shixue's gaze was soft and gentle, clear and pure like water, reflecting her image. Her eyes held her, and only her, which was enough to make her feel satisfied. She couldn't help but smile gently and replied, "I do, more than anyone."
Wen Shixue smiled upon hearing this, feeling that Qin Zhen's words were better than all the sweet talk in the world. Although the words were simple, she just found them pleasant to hear.
She couldn't help but think: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; this is probably the filter effect.
Qin Zhen said in a gentle tone, "But you still have your career to be busy with, and I can't hinder you. Besides, we have plenty of time to be by each other's side; there's no rush." She then stroked her long hair and said softly, "Our Shixue has her own sense of proportion and can do her own things well, right?"
Wen Shixue actually really liked Qin Zhen talking to her like this. Although it sounded like coaxing a child, it made her feel like she was a precious treasure held and cherished in her palm. This feeling of being treasured and liked by her made her very satisfied and happy, with unconcealable smiles in her eyes and brows.
With a smile she couldn't hide, she pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Is this tone because you're coaxing a child?"
Qin Zhen didn't deny it: "Yes, I'm coaxing my child."
Wen Shixue was stunned for a moment, and her liking instantly surged like waves—damn, she absolutely loved Qin Zhen talking like this!
She unilaterally declared that her girlfriend was the world's number one sweet talker!
...
As soon as Wen Shixue returned to the company, she went to the design department and dragged Xu Jianfan out. Du Xianyu was startled by her aggressive appearance, thinking Xu Jianfan had done something wrong.
Wen Shixue cornered Xu Jianfan against a wall where no one was around and said seriously, "Xiao Fan, you must make a name for yourself quickly."
Chenfeng was already on the right track, more and more people knew about Chenfeng Jewelry, and Chenfeng would only get better in the future. Now, as long as Xu Jianfan became famous and established himself as a well-known designer, she would dare to propose breaking off the engagement with the Xu family early, and then openly date Qin Zhen and flaunt their affection to everyone!
Wen Shixue: I must let everyone know that such a wonderful Qin Zhen is mine alone!
Xu Jianfan felt like he was looking at his rabid career fan: "???"
What was going on, out of the blue???
Wen Shixue patted his shoulders: "To break off the engagement, you must work hard!"
Xu Jianfan replied blankly, "I'm trying, I'm trying..."
Even if it wasn't for Wen Shixue, he had to work hard for his own happiness—he liked Jiang Manwei, and he wanted to shed the absurd burden of the engagement and be with Jiang Manwei, marry her, with a light heart!
After the engagement cancellation squad cheered each other on, they went their separate ways.
Wen Shixue remembered the internal discussions about brand ambassadors in the past few days. Every senior executive felt that Chenfeng could take advantage of the current momentum to sign a commercially valuable ambassador, attract customers, drive more sales, help Chenfeng make a name for itself, and enter the public eye.
Speaking of ambassadors, she only had one candidate in mind, and that was the female lead, Jiang Manwei. It just so happened that Jiang Manwei was about to star as the female lead in the jewelry drama invested in by Chenfeng. It was the perfect opportunity to invite her to be the ambassador. She just didn't know if she had endorsements from other jewelry brands, and if she did... were they about to expire?
Wen Shixue simply called Jiang Manwei, who happened to be free.
Jiang Manwei asked lazily, "What's up? Did something happen that you're suddenly calling?"
Wen Shixue walked towards her office while saying, "Nothing happened, I want to send you money."
Jiang Manwei immediately guessed what she meant and joked, "Thank you, President Wen, I just love getting something for nothing."
Wen Shixue laughed, "I like it too, but I don't like letting others get something for nothing."
"What do you want me to do?" Jiang Manwei asked.
Wen Shixue: "I want to invite you to be our ambassador, so I called first to confirm if you have any jewelry brand endorsements."
"I have one," Jiang Manwei said, "but the contract is about to expire."
Wen Shixue raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Wasn't this heaven helping her? She smiled slightly on her end of the phone: "Perhaps our great star Jiang can take a look at Chenfeng? Sign the contract and get Zhu Ziming as a bonus, guaranteed satisfaction."
Jiang Manwei already knew from Xu Jianfan that Wen Shixue was aware of their relationship and tacitly kept it a secret like them. So Jiang Manwei wasn't surprised that she would mention Xu Jianfan, who was still using a fake identity. She found it quite amusing: "I'm just curious, is this a jewelry company or a matchmaking service?"
She was even present when Wen Shixue played matchmaker for that young lady from the Lin family.
Wen Shixue calmly said, "Of course it's a jewelry company. Matchmaking is just a side job for the boss. To make Chenfeng better, I've really sacrificed too much."
Jiang Manwei: "..."
Jiang Manwei: Then your boss at Chenfeng is truly multi-talented...
...
The secretarial office felt that their boss left work earlier than anyone else today, her steps particularly hurried. If her expression hadn't been so good, they would have suspected she forgot to turn off the gas at home.
After thinking about it, they felt that wasn't right. President Wen probably didn't need to turn off the gas herself...
Wen Shixue was in a great mood, not only because she could continue to sleep in, but also because the person she had been thinking about and missing for a week had finally become her girlfriend—she couldn't wait to see Qin Zhen!
Excitedly returning home, as soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food.
Qin Zhen, wearing an apron, came out of the kitchen carrying soup. Seeing her return, she said, "Go wash your hands and eat." She looked incredibly domestic.
Wen Shixue stopped in place, looking at the table full of dishes, watching Qin Zhen untie her apron and wait for her to eat together. Suddenly, she didn't want anything else. This was enough. Even the most magnificent love couldn't surpass the calm and simple three meals a day.
She obediently washed her hands, sat down opposite Qin Zhen, and contentedly enjoyed the dinner Qin Zhen had prepared for her. After eating and washing the dishes, she went to take a shower, then curled up on the sofa with a pillow, watching financial news.
She rarely watched these things before; this habit was cultivated by following Qin Zhen. As she watched, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards Qin Zhen's room. After silently looking for a while, an idea suddenly popped into her head—she wanted to sleep with Qin Zhen, not in separate rooms. Qin Zhen's side offered a strong sense of security, which she really liked.
She thought righteously, now she was qualified to sleep with Qin Zhen even when it wasn't thundering!
So that night, after Qin Zhen finished washing up and returned to her room to rest, she found a Little Demon King hugging a rabbit doll in her bed.
The Little Demon King was nestled under the covers, poking her head out like a rabbit, and extended a hand to greet her very naturally: "Lao Qin, come to bed quickly, we have work tomorrow."
Qin Zhen was startled at first, then walked over, leaned on the bed, stroked her head, looked down at her, and asked softly, "Why are you here?"
"I'm sleeping here," Wen Shixue replied as if it were the most obvious thing.
Qin Zhen reminded her, "Your room doesn't seem to be here."
Wen Shixue calmly said, "Well, it starts being here from today."
Qin Zhen was puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to sleep with me?"
Wen Shixue replied, "You're my girlfriend now, of course I have to sleep with you."
Qin Zhen smiled helplessly and asked, "On the first day of dating, you want to share a bed with me? Aren't you afraid I'll take advantage of you?"
Sharing a bed on the first day of dating was not advisable. What if she met someone greedy for money and looks, who just wanted to play around? Wouldn't her Little Demon King suffer a loss?
Dating mentor Vice President Qin felt deeply worried about this.
Wen Shixue was certainly not afraid, because the other person was the proper and serious Vice President Qin Zhen, completely different from those scoundrels. Even so, after hearing Qin Zhen say this, she let out a surprised "Oh," her expression quite unexpected.
Qin Zhen sighed, just about to say something, when she saw Wen Shixue's smile suddenly turn mischievous. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at her: "So Lao Qin, you have thoughts like that about me..."
Qin Zhen: "?"
Wait, did she misunderstand something...
Wen Shixue pretended to be shy and buried her face in the pillow: "You bad bad!"
Qin Zhen: "???"
What kind of language was this???
