Rescuing the Poor Pitied Soul Whose Heart and Kidneys Almost Got Dug Out (2)
Learning from the system that Ren Cha had received a joint beating from a man and a woman, Shen Nanxian was in a fantastic mood.
“Would you like to come with me for a drive?” Shen Nanxian raised his eyes to look at Liu Lanci, asking with a smile in his eyes.
The tone of these words was as casual and pleasant as a friend inviting someone over to their house as a guest.
Liu Lanci looked at Shen Nanxian, the corners of his mouth curving upward into an arc, and then he agreed with a nod: “Okay.”
[I am going too, I am going too.] System 222 acted cute and spoiled at the feet of the two men, rubbing back and forth against them, and finally got permission.
The sea breeze carrying a salty and damp scent blew across their faces, making people feel exceptionally refreshed and comfortable.
The Husky lay on the beach, from time to time using its long and sharp paws to scratch at the fine, soft sand grains to play, making a crunching sound.
“President Shen, thank you, thank you for helping me.” After walking for a stretch, Liu Lanci suddenly raised his head to look at Shen Nanxian beside him.
Hearing this, Shen Nanxian paused his steps, turned his face to look at Liu Lanci beside him, and a faint smile bloomed on his lips.
“You are welcome. Live optimistically like a little sunshine! Don’t be defeated by the hardships of life.”
His tone was gentle and mild, making Liu Lanci’s heartbeat accelerate by a few beats.
Liu Lanci thought to himself: The person who could make Mr. Shen fall in love with them must be very outstanding!
System 222 raised its head, its round, big eyes staring at Liu Lanci with an I knew it look in its gaze—its host was starting to dish out chicken soup for the soul again!
“Mm.” Liu Lanci nodded, then continued walking forward.
Shen Nanxian did not say anything more, just quietly accompanying him by his side as the two walked shoulder to shoulder on the beach.
The sound of the sea crashing against the shore rocks and the sound of waves slamming into the reefs intertwined together to form a melodious rhythm.
“Mr. Shen.” Liu Lanci suddenly stopped walking, turned around to bow and express his gratitude to Shen Nanxian: “Thank you truly very much. I understand; in the future, I will not do things that will trouble you!”
Shen Nanxian reached out and patted Liu Lanci’s head, his tone remaining peaceful: “I am a very kind person, so you do not need to be so polite.”
System 222 seemed to have heard some hilarious joke. The Husky buried its head even deeper into the sand, feeling embarrassed on behalf of its own host.
Returning to the villa, Liu Lanci discovered that the middle-aged woman who had constantly bullied him had actually already been dismissed, which filled him with great surprise.
Because he remembered that before he left, that auntie still had an arrogant and overbearing attitude. How could it be that after just a few short hours, she had slunk away in disgrace?
System 222 sidled up close to Liu Lanci, its dog head nestling against Liu Lanci’s chest, rubbing against Liu Lanci’s lapel with its furry head: [That bad auntie was chased away by my host, oh! Beauty, let us cuddle!]
“You also think Mr. Shen is a good person, right? Shen Big Dummy, good night, oh!” Liu Lanci rubbed the dog’s head, pulled it into his arms, kissed its furry cheeks, and then closed the bedroom door.
Lying on the bed, Liu Lanci stared wide-eyed at the ceiling, his thoughts chaotic. Mr. Shen really is a very good person! Aside from his mother, he was the only one in this world who gave him warmth.
[Host, you have been handed a good person card, oh!] System 222 gazed at Shen Nanxian with a pair of wise blue eyes, its tone carrying a clear sense of schadenfreude.
Shen Nanxian glanced sideways at the smug 222, let out a cold snort, and then closed his eyes, preparing to sleep.
“Ding-dong.” Shen Nanxian’s cell phone emitted a notification chime for a new message. He took out his phone to take a look: [Shen Nanxian, consider you ruthless; I have noted down today’s grudge.]
Shen Nanxian thought silently that this Ren Cha was not only a scumbag, he was also mentally handicapped.
He tossed his phone aside and rolled over to get ready for sleep, only to hear a burst of knocking at the door.
“Who is it?” He sat up to ask, his tone quite impatient. He had just had his sleep interrupted by Ren Cha, and right when he was finally about to fall asleep, someone else came to disturb him.
After a moment of silence outside the door, a crisp voice sounded: “President Shen, it is me, Dong Yun. There is an important company document that requires you to review it.”
“Come in.” Shen Nanxian got up from the bed and leaned against the back of the chair, his tone lazy. He took the document and flipped through it, subsequently issuing some instructions.
After Dong Yun left, Shen Nanxian put down the documents in his hand, stretched his limbs, and finally got a good night’s sleep.
The next morning, after washing up and changing clothes, Shen Nanxian came down from upstairs.
“Mr. Shen, good morning.” Seeing Shen Nanxian come downstairs, Liu Lanci immediately stood up to greet him.
“Good morning.” Shen Nanxian revealed a faint smile toward Liu Lanci.
Shen Nanxian sat at the dining table eating breakfast.
Liu Lanci sat across from him, lowering his head to drink congee. His expression seemed somewhat reserved, not daring to meet the other person’s eyes directly, yet unable to resist stealing a few glances.
System 222 kept howling loudly by the dining table, its paw pointing at the empty dog bowl.
“I will go add dog food for Shen Big Dummy.”
Liu Lanci suddenly stood up and hurriedly walked toward the kitchen, but he failed to notice the dog toy underfoot. Just as he was about to fall, Shen Nanxian steadied him in time.
The hand at his waist was scorching hot. Liu Lanci’s face instantly turned crimson, and he flurriedly pushed Shen Nanxian away: “Thank, thank you!”
Liu Lanci left as if fleeing for his life. Shen Nanxian thoughtfully watched the other person’s retreating back, the corners of his mouth curling into a faint smile.
This poor pitied soul is quite interesting!
Not long after Liu Lanci left, Shen Nanxian packed up properly and headed to the company.
His workload today was not small because there was a major project that required him to review and sign off. These documents required him to examine them one by one.
“President Shen, your coffee.” The female secretary wiggled her slender waist and paced with graceful steps into the office, handing the hot coffee in her hand to Shen Nanxian, her voice sweet: “President Shen, please enjoy it slowly. Oh dear.”
The coffee spilled onto Shen Nanxian’s pants. The female secretary hurriedly pulled out tissues, crouching on the ground as she wanted to wipe them clean for him.
Shen Nanxian frowned tightly and gave a cold command: “Get out.”
The female secretary raised her head with a wronged expression, looking at Shen Nanxian with pitiable vulnerability: “President Shen, I am sorry, I did not do it on purpose. How much are the pants? I will pay for them.”
“The pants are custom-made and not cheap, costing 35,000 yuan. It will be deducted from your salary this month,” Shen Nanxian said in a calm tone.
This time, the female secretary really wanted to cry. 35,000 yuan was equivalent to three and a half months of her salary. How could this man be so stingy!
Liu Lanci rushed over from the villa in a hurry to deliver documents to Shen Nanxian. When he walked to the office doorway, he happened to run into the female secretary walking out of Shen Nanxian’s office.
The two of them bumped into each other. Shen Nanxian’s female secretary had a pretty face written full of vexation, her eye sockets brimming with shimmering tears, wearing the look of someone who had suffered a grave grievance. At a glance, one could tell she had just been reprimanded by Shen Nanxian.
The female secretary seemed to recognize Liu Lanci as well. Seeing him appear here, her already sorrowful mood turned even more complicated.
“Male vixen.” The female secretary resentfully glared at Liu Lanci, stomped her foot, and left with a rhythmic clicking sound in her seven-centimeter stiletto heels.
Liu Lanci was stunned. Male vixen? Was she talking about him?
