Chapter 109 The Antidote for the Abstinent Boss (24)
Xie Qingyu's gaze lingered on Zhou Shenye's face, but she didn't say anything.
Zhou Shenye was very patient at this moment and coaxed again, "What if I wanted to?"
"I don't want to." Xie Qingyu spoke slowly, a drunken smile on her face, it was hard to tell whether she was talking nonsense or telling the truth.
Upon hearing her answer, Zhou Shenye slowly straightened up, his smile still lingering, as if he hadn't heard her reply at all.
After answering those two questions, Xie Qingyu slumped onto the table, whether drunk or asleep, it was unclear.
That evening, if paparazzi could get into the restaurant's underground parking lot, they could have captured the scene of Zhou Shenye carrying Xie Qingyu into the car.
Even if it's not obvious, the atmosphere is already incredibly strong just from the tall man holding a woman with a good figure whose face is obscured.
Unfortunately, apart from Assistant Feng, no one else witnessed this scene.
No one could comprehend the shock Assistant Feng felt upon witnessing this scene. Aside from mechanically opening the car door to make it easier for Zhou Shenye to get in, he made no other move, his entire mind focused on processing what he had just seen.
No, they just got him drunk and carried him down?
What happened to the rule that we shouldn't have contact with outsiders?
When exactly did he develop feelings for Xie Qingyu? When did he realize that he could touch Xie Qingyu?
Assistant Feng began to wonder if Zhou Shenye had secretly done many things behind his back in the middle of the night after returning to China, and whether his position as the top special assistant was insecure.
How come he only found out about something like this now?
Xie Qingqing over there even sent a message asking about the situation. How is he supposed to explain this now?
Assistant Feng felt extremely overwhelmed.
Does this guy even remember that Xie Qingyu is Zhou He's fiancée now, or that he personally intervened to get Zhou He to change the engagement?
What's going on here?
Assistant Feng's mind was racing, his thoughts wandering to the two people behind the partition.
Sitting in the back seat, Zhou Shenye held Xie Qingyu, who was fast asleep, in his arms. Apart from holding her in his arms, he did nothing else, staring intently at Xie Qingyu's face, lost in thought.
-------------------------------------
Xie Qingyu woke up in an unfamiliar room the next day.
The room is dominated by black, white, and gray tones, and even some of the decorations are in cool colors, making the room's owner's style immediately apparent.
Xie Qingyu had changed into pajamas. She moved her body and felt a little soreness in her shoulders, probably because she hadn't slept well. She didn't feel anything unusual in other parts of her body.
After changing into the clothes that were placed by the bed, I went downstairs and saw Zhou Shenye in the living room.
This was the first time Xie Qingyu had seen Zhou Shenye in such a homely manner. He was wearing dark blue loungewear, which accentuated his broad shoulders and gave him a stylish look. His hair was loose and fell over his forehead, making him appear even younger.
Seeing Xie Qingyu come downstairs, Zhou Shenye poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her, "Did you sleep well?"
Zhou Shenye acted very naturally, as if Xie Qingyu was supposed to come downstairs like this.
Xie Qingyu naturally took the water from his hand. As they took it, their fingers touched. Zhou Shenye's eyebrows twitched slightly. If Xie Qingyu had looked up at him at that moment, she would have noticed the satisfaction emanating from his face.
Xie Qingyu lowered her head and took a sip of water; it was lukewarm.
"Thank you," Xie Qingyu said carefully. "Did I trouble you yesterday?"
Zhou Shenye smiled naturally, "It's no trouble at all. We have a housekeeper at home. She helped you change your clothes yesterday."
Zhou Shenye's words were upright and honest, without any hint of guilt.
"That's really troublesome, Auntie. What about these clothes?" Xie Qingyu pointed to the clothes she was wearing.
"I had it delivered this morning. I didn't know your size. Does it fit you?" Zhou Shenye asked politely.
This sense of incongruity made Xie Qingyu feel uncomfortable. "It's suitable, very suitable. How much is it? I'll transfer the money to you."
"What's your bank card number?" Zhou Shenye asked.
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingyu unlocked her phone, checked it, and then gave out her bank card number.
Zhou Shenye listened attentively as she read out the numbers, without making any attempt to memorize them.
Xie Qingyu quickly read out a string of numbers, then froze.
?
Shouldn't she be the one asking Zhou Shenye for his bank card number before transferring money? How did it turn into her giving Zhou Shenye his bank card number?
However, Zhou Shenye couldn't remember such a long list, and Xie Qingyu didn't take it to heart either.
"I'll add your contact information and transfer it to you later," Xie Qingyu said.
Zhou Shenye didn't refuse after hearing this, and picked up his phone to add Xie Qingyu's contact information.
"You were drunk yesterday, do you remember what you said?" Zhou Shenye sat opposite Xie Qingyu, his plate containing a typical white-style meal.
Xie Qingyu wasn't a picky eater, but she didn't like coffee and instead asked the aunt to pour her a glass of milk.
"Did I say something wrong yesterday?" Xie Qingyu asked, looking puzzled and a little embarrassed. "I really don't remember anything about being drunk yesterday."
Zhou Shenye's gaze lingered on Xie Qingyu's face. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly hurt. "If you don't remember, then forget it."
"?" Xie Qingyu's face was full of doubt.
This time I'm genuinely confused, what is this guy up to?
Xie Qingyu glanced at him impassively, deciding to continue the charade. "Did I say something wrong?"
Xie Qingyu's face showed just the right amount of fear, as if she were very embarrassed.
Zhou Shenye then looked up and said, "You said yesterday that you didn't want to get engaged."
"This~" Xie Qingyu sighed and lowered her head to poke the bread on the plate with her fork. "This is not a big deal. It's not something I can decide whether I want to or not."
"You even said you'd rather get engaged to me..." Zhou Shenye said calmly, as if he were just repeating what Xie Qing had said yesterday, without any personal feelings involved.
Xie Qingyu's fork landed on the plate with a crisp sound, and then she looked up at Zhou Shenye in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe she had said such a thing.
Zhou Shenye's light-colored eyes easily gain the trust of others. Just like now, when he looked at Xie Qingyu openly, it even made Xie Qingyu have a slight illusion, wondering if she really said such a thing yesterday.
"You said I'm more handsome than Zhou He."
"He even said I'm richer than him."
"And you still say I..." Zhou Shenye continued, as if to prove that the logic behind Xie Qingyu's words yesterday was valid.
"Stop!" Xie Qingyu finally couldn't help but interrupt.
Zhou Shenye stopped upon hearing this, simply looking at Xie Qingyu without saying anything more.
