SCHS - Chapter 59
Chapter 59
Jiang Rui stood outside, disheveled in the wind. The tightly shut door, even its frame, was filled with the room owner's surging and unconcealed hostility towards her.
She didn't know where this hostility came from; there were faint traces, but recalling Wen Shixue's two-faced personality, these traces immediately became blurred, making it seem like she had always been this inscrutable, requiring no specific reason to be triggered.
Not an easy person to deal with, that was Jiang Rui's assessment of her. Compared to her, the steady-tempered Qin Zhen seemed amiable. Someone like Wen Shixue, beautiful and genuinely rich, was difficult to handle, and her background was too powerful. If Wen Shixue liked men and she foolishly tried to provoke her, she would only end up in trouble. So, she neither liked nor would she touch her.
After being messed with right after graduation, she had reined herself in considerably. She still loved money, but at least she wouldn't deceive people's feelings anymore. After all these years, the relationships she had, the rich second-generation boyfriends she dated, none lasted, and none treated her with the same meticulous care as Qin Zhen had.
She hadn't even expected that a relationship born of infatuation, one that seemed to have no future from the start, would become a faint yet precious ray of light in her emotional life.
The Qin Zhen of the past was just an orphan with nothing; now she was a glamorous executive at Wen Group and the Vice President of a new company, mature and beautiful, simply perfect. She deeply regretted missing out on this potential stock back then. If she had stayed with Qin Zhen, perhaps she wouldn't need to endure this biting wind here today, nor would she have to face this closed door.
But what did that matter? Life wasn't just about breaking up; there was also getting back together. Qin Zhen liked her so much back then, even planning their future together. Maybe after the breakup, a lingering thought of her still remained in her heart?
Now that fate had brought such a perfect Qin Zhen before her, what reason did she have to let down Heaven's good intentions?
So this time, she absolutely had to win Qin Zhen back!
Having made up her mind, she glanced at the closed door, her eyes deep, then turned and left.
—It would be even better if this young lady wasn't in the way.
Wen Shixue didn't like Jiang Rui. Initially, it was because Jiang Rui had already learned her lesson from Yu Hanhan and the others back in college, and after so many years, there was no reason for her to act. It was a dislike that kept to itself, like well water not interfering with river water. But this dislike, just now when Jiang Rui asked to see Qin Zhen, silently seeped into her bones, so much so that she didn't even bother to hide it on her face.
Playing with and trampling on someone's genuine feelings, what face or qualification did she have to meet and "reminisce" with the other person?
After closing the door, Wen Shixue couldn't be bothered with Jiang Rui anymore. If Director Jin had any issues with her decision to change people, she could just come find her. But at this moment, she was just a moody, capricious young lady whom no one could provoke.
Then, turning around, she saw Qin Zhen.
The curtains were tightly drawn, and the lights in the room were exceptionally bright. Qin Zhen stood at the master bedroom door, calmly pushing back a strand of curly hair and adjusting the tie at her neckline that had become messy from sleeping. Her cuff was slightly turned up, revealing a section of her wrist that was so white it almost glowed under the light. Her slightly curved fingers were beautiful beyond words.
A feast for the eyes, Wen Shixue felt very comfortable looking at her. Seven or eight parts of her irritation towards Jiang Rui immediately dissipated, and she inwardly scoffed: Only a fool would break up with Qin Zhen.
She put her hands behind her back and slowly walked towards Qin Zhen, asking as she went, "Awake? Don't want to sleep a bit longer?"
With her waist wrapped around, Qin Zhen meticulously straightened her collar, lowered her gaze, and said softly, "Half an hour is enough for a nap."
As for Wen Shixue's nap, as long as the break time allowed, she could sleep for as long as she wanted. Moreover, she had been particularly whiny and reluctant to leave the bed when she woke up today, so Qin Zhen couldn't bear to wake her and let her sleep as long as she wished.
Qin Zhen glanced towards the door and asked, "Did someone just come?"
Wen Shixue smiled, "Yes. A bad person named Jiang."
With the conversation reaching this point, Qin Zhen could guess who it was with just a strand of hair. She didn't care about anything else, only asking, "Did she do anything out of line to you?"
She didn't know if Jiang Rui, after so many years, still liked beautiful and rich people as she did back then. She could only try her best to guard against it, because when it came to beauty and wealth, her little devil wouldn't lose to anyone.
Wen Shixue raised an eyebrow with a smile, a confident and flamboyant charm lifting the corner of her eye. "What could she do to me? Or rather... would she dare to do anything to me?"
So beautiful that Qin Zhen was momentarily distracted. "That's good then."
She didn't say anything else.
Wen Shixue asked, "Don't you want to know why she came?"
Qin Zhen was indifferent. "If it was something important, you would tell me yourself. If it's not important, it doesn't matter if I don't hear it."
Aside from that unpleasant past, Jiang Rui was already a stranger to her. Since she was a stranger, why waste too much attention on her? With that free time, wouldn't it be better to do some more work or spend more time with her adorable little girlfriend?
Wen Shixue had to admit she was very happy to see Qin Zhen's cold reaction to her ex. She said in a relaxed tone, "She came to ask what we wanted for dinner. She said Director Jin sent her to host us, so she had to do her job properly."
When it came to Jiang Rui, Qin Zhen's attention was a bit scattered. She nodded absently, then heard Wen Shixue say, "She also wanted to see you, but I didn't let her."
Qin Zhen remained cool and detached, and after hearing that, she simply said, "If you're going to do your job properly, don't mix personal matters with public ones."
Wen Shixue curved her eyes. "Lao Qin, it looks like you put on a bit too much lipstick."
Qin Zhen paused, just about to go to the bathroom to see if she really had put on too much, when she heard Wen Shixue say with eager anticipation, "Let me help you lick some off, even it out."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Her dirty talk and actions could really be less.
...
Those who talk nonsense will ultimately be punished, like Wen Shixue.
She was instead hugged around the waist by Qin Zhen and pressed into the living room sofa, kissed until she was dizzy and disoriented, unable to tell north from south for a moment. She only remembered how soft Qin Zhen's lips were and how good her perfume smelled.
In the entanglement of lips and tongues, she could never win against Qin Zhen, but she enjoyed it immensely. With the appearance of a little white rabbit, she had an unusual and greedy heart, happily offering herself up to Qin Zhen.
But for some reason, perhaps because the atmosphere was too good today, she became increasingly restless. Her slender white fingers couldn't help but hook onto the black ribbon tied at Qin Zhen's neckline, attempting to untie it and reveal more of the scenery beneath the clothes. Then she was caught by Qin Zhen.
That hand, which she found beautiful enough to make her heart flutter, tightly clasped her wrist, pressing her restlessness onto the sofa, unable to move. The fingertips intentionally or unintentionally rubbed against her skin, gently sliding from her wrist into her palm, spreading her fingers, and interlocking with hers, inseparable.
It was as if she was reluctant to let her go, and also afraid she would naughtily pull at her tie again.
Amidst the disrupted breathing, Qin Zhen gently let her go, her nose affectionately rubbing against her cheek, and said in a low voice, "You don't need any messy reasons, just kiss if you want to."
She didn't seem to mind her restlessness.
Wen Shixue looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes, her full, rosy lips parting as if to say something.
Qin Zhen seemed to have anticipated what she wanted to say and spoke first: "Only outside of work hours."
Wen Shixue's thoughts were exposed. She raised an eyebrow, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, her gaze circling Qin Zhen's slightly loosened tie and the inadvertently revealed slender collarbone. Amidst the meticulousness was a hint of unexpected looseness, half-hidden, half-revealed, exuding endless charm and subtly tempting the devil in one's heart.
Wen Shixue felt very regretful about this—she hadn't seen Qin Zhen without clothes yet! She didn't know if Qin Zhen, who worked out every week, had beautiful abs!
Wen Shixue: I'm such a failed girlfriend!
While her heart itched, she asked, "What are we eating tonight?"
Qin Zhen didn't notice the little devil's messy thoughts. As she got up, she said, "We'll eat whatever you want."
Wen Shixue stayed sprawled on the sofa, just about to order takeout from a nearby restaurant, when her phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated briefly—Jiang Manwei had finished work.
[Jiang Manwei]: Why does our President Wen suddenly want my autograph?
Qin Zhen picked up Wen Shixue's phone and glanced at it unintentionally. "Shixue, Miss Jiang is asking about the autograph."
Wen Shixue lazily got up to reply.
[Wen Shixue]: I have a very close friend who likes you, I can't not help her
Wen Shixue: My girlfriend's friend is my friend, that's right.
[Jiang Manwei]: Oh, I thought you came up with another way to get rich and wanted to sell my autographs for money
[Wen Shixue]: That's not impossible. Then I'll trouble our Miss Jiang to work hard and sign a lot, let me take back ten or eight boxes to sell
[Jiang Manwei]: No, I don't want to work that hard, my hands are precious, I still want to keep them
Jiang Manwei finally agreed to sign the autographs, saying she would have Xu Jianfan deliver them. She also thoughtfully recommended dinner and personally ordered two portions of noodles from a noodle shop for them, saving them the time of going out.
[Jiang Manwei]: It's cold, President Wen and Vice President Qin must take care of yourselves
[Wen Shixue]: Our Big Star Jiang too
Jiang Rui, who had originally planned to wait downstairs for Wen Shixue and Qin Zhen to come down, waited for a long time in vain, completely unaware that Jiang Manwei had ordered noodles for them. In the end, she could only leave indignantly.
...
The rigorous Vice President Qin, as long as she wasn't at home, would definitely sleep in a separate room from President Wen. And President Wen, who hadn't slept separately from Vice President Qin for eight hundred years, only realized after the door to the side bedroom closed that this was sleeping separately—good heavens, she had just been craving her girlfriend's body today, and tonight her girlfriend directly shut the door on her.
She wasn't going to stand for that. Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly remembered a certain talent. She turned around and called the front desk.
After Qin Zhen returned to her room, there was about ten minutes of silence from the little devil. She felt a bit strange and unaccustomed to it, because she thought Wen Shixue would definitely protest, just like she did during her afternoon nap, insisting on sleeping together.
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case.
Her mood was a bit complicated. She didn't know whether to be happy that the child had grown up and knew to avoid suspicion when outside, or to feel melancholic that the child was suddenly not clingy anymore.
Another two minutes passed, and a small white card, about the size of a business card, was slipped under the door. She walked over, picked it up, and saw that on the card, a stick figure was drawn with an oily black pen in a posture that was either seductive or twisted, leaning sideways. A few black lines, presumably hair, hung from its round head. The drawing skills were absolutely crude.
In the blank space next to it, eight large characters were boldly written: Sexy and Hot, Door-to-Door Service.
At the very bottom was a row of phone numbers she knew by heart, belonging to someone named Wen Shixue.
She held the small card and fell into a dead silence, her gaze fixed on the four words "Sexy and Hot" as if pulled by a string.
Logically, she should have cooperated and thought in a certain direction, but in this cold winter, she was instead very worried about the "Sexy and Hot" part being real—that would be too cold!
To prevent the little devil from catching a cold, she immediately opened the door, and then she saw Wen Shixue sitting on the floor wrapped in a blanket, burying her head and writing another card. This time it said "Pure and Moving, Available on Call," written with a flourish that was anything but polite.
Qin Zhen looked at her, wrapped up like a bear: "..."
What a "Sexy and Hot" indeed...
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Wen Shixue looked up in response. "Writing hotel cards for you to choose from." She then looked at the small card in Qin Zhen's hand that said "Sexy and Hot," and smiled slightly. "Oh, the pictures are just for reference, you know."
Qin Zhen: "..."
...
Yu Hanhan, who had finished her bald-making project, had just finished her late-night snack when Qin Zhen called. She answered, feeling confused. Qin Zhen's voice on the phone was as calm as ever, but she felt an unusual, terrifying killing intent: "Yu Hanhan, from now on, you are not allowed to video call me without my permission."
Then she hung up. The whole call probably lasted less than three seconds.
A bewildered Yu Hanhan: "???"
What happened???
