Chapter 14: Carrying Her Away

“Aren’t you a waiter?!”

Suddenly remembering something, Sheng Tang looked up at Liang Man and commanded, “You, go get two large bath towels!”

Liang Man was stunned, a hint of embarrassment appearing on her face. She stood there, not moving. “I don’t know where the large bath towels are…”

“If you don’t know, don’t you know how to ask?”

Sheng Tang’s temper was already bad, and now she was even more merciless. “What are you wearing this outfit for? A guest fell into the water, and you’re just standing there watching, not even knowing where to find two towels? Do you even know how to write the word ‘waiter’?!”

“I-I’m sorry…” Liang Man bit her lip, looking wronged.

“Enough!”

Gu Linchuan finally couldn’t take it anymore and spoke up. “Miss Sheng, don’t bully her! Manman is just a part-timer, it’s normal for her not to know. Why are you being so aggressive? We can just forget about the money!”

“Heh…”

Sheng Tang laughed angrily. She was being aggressive and bullying her?

Knowing that she couldn’t rely on these two, she didn’t bother arguing with them. She opened her phone and prepared to call Cen Xi to bring two towels.

At the same time, a tall figure was quietly approaching.

Someone in the crowd noticed him and wanted to see who he was, but the man’s face was fleeting, leaving only a tall and steady back.

Soon, the man’s footsteps stopped behind Sheng Tang.

Sheng Tang, who was on the phone, didn’t notice anything unusual.

“Xiao Tang.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Sheng Tang held her phone and turned around in surprise. Her eyes lit up. “Brother!”

The man was Sheng Yu.

His gaze went past Sheng Tang and landed on Qiao Shuyi who was on the ground.

She was also looking at him, her dark eyes slightly widened, her expression a bit stunned.

Her hair, wet from the water, clung to her fair face, some strands even dripping.

She looked a bit disheveled, but also a bit pitiful.

Sheng Yu’s eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a low voice, “Move aside.”

“Oh, oh, okay.” Sheng Tang quickly moved to the side.

Just as she was wondering what her brother was going to do, she saw him suddenly squat down, bend over, and pick up Qiao Shuyi from the ground, holding her horizontally.

“!”

Sheng Tang felt her brain short-circuit for a few seconds.

Before her head could react, her legs had already followed.

Sheng Yu held Qiao Shuyi and walked towards the villa.

Some people were curious and wanted to see what was going on, but when they met Sheng Yu’s cold gaze, they immediately withdrew their gaze.

Sheng Yu walked all the way to the villa with Qiao Shuyi in his arms, almost bumping into Cen Xi who was rushing down the stairs.

The moment she saw him, Cen Xi’s eyes lit up, and her expression became incredibly surprised. “Brother Sheng Yu? What’s wrong…”

However, before she could finish her sentence, Sheng Yu interrupted her. “Where’s the changing room?”

Cen Xi’s gaze finally fell on the wet Qiao Shuyi in his arms, and she was startled. She quickly said, “It’s on the second floor, come with me!”

…

Outside the villa, until the three figures disappeared, the crowd began to buzz with discussion.

“Did I see correctly? Was that man just now… Sheng Yu?”

“I don’t know if you saw correctly, but I heard Sheng Tang call him brother.”

“Sheng Yu doesn’t usually like these kinds of events, what wind blew him here today?”

“I’m scared to death, his gaze just now, I almost thought I was going to die!”

…

Listening to the constant chatter around them, Gu Linchuan and Liang Man couldn’t recover for a long time.

“Linchuan, who was that man just now? It seems like Sister Qiao  is very familiar with him.” Liang Man glanced at Gu Linchuan’s expression and tentatively asked.

“Didn’t you hear Sheng Tang call him brother?” Gu Linchuan pursed his lips, his tone a bit complex.

“I heard, but I don’t know his specific identity. He seems very powerful… What’s his background?”

Gu Linchuan’s face darkened, and his heart felt a bit uncomfortable.

After a while, he said, “His name is Sheng Yu, Sheng Tang’s older brother, the head of the Sheng family, and the CEO of Shengshi Group. In Jing City, no one dares to provoke him.”

“He’s that powerful…”

Liang Man opened her mouth, her mood suddenly became subtle, and her eyes gained a few more longing glances.

He’s even more handsome, richer, and more powerful than Gu Linchuan.

If only he could like me…

Gu Linchuan didn’t notice her abnormality. His mind was filled with the scene of Sheng Yu carrying Qiao Shuyi away.

For some reason, he felt a bit blocked in his chest.

Especially when he thought about Qiao Shuyi leaning weakly in his arms, reaching out to hook his neck, he felt uncomfortable.

He suddenly regretted it.

He regretted why he didn’t take off his clothes to cover her just now?

He also regretted why he didn’t go and pick her up…

In the changing room, Qiao Shuyi took a quick hot shower and changed into the clean clothes Cen Xi had prepared for her.

While drying her hair, her thoughts wandered uncontrollably.

She didn’t expect that Sheng Yu would directly hug her in front of so many people.

The moment he picked her up, her brain had already short-circuited, and she was dizzy.

But she still subconsciously reached out and hooked Sheng Yu’s neck.

She was afraid of falling.

Thinking about it now, it was a bit ambiguous.

By the time she fully regained her senses, she was already in the changing room.

“Whew…”

Seeing that her hair was about seven-tenths dry, Qiao Shuyi took a deep breath and turned off the hairdryer.

She fixed her clothes and hair in the mirror, then walked towards the door.

The moment she opened the door, she thought she would see a lot of people.

Like Sheng Tang, like Cen Xi.

However, to her surprise, there was only one tall and handsome figure outside.

“…Brother Sheng Yu?”

Hearing the sound behind him, the man turned around, and his exquisite and three-dimensional features made Qiao Shuyi lose her composure for a moment.

“Done?”

“Yeah… Where are they?” Qiao Shuyi looked around, but still didn’t see anyone.

“They went outside to watch the excitement.”

“Excitement? What excitement?”

“I’m not sure, it seems like someone is fighting.”

“!”

Qiao Shuyi instantly became interested. “Should we go down and take a look?”

The man nodded.

The two walked downstairs together. As they walked, Qiao Shuyi suddenly remembered what happened earlier and said, “By the way, Brother Sheng Yu, about what happened just now… Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Suddenly, Qiao Shuyi’s gaze fell on the shirt in front of him. There was a clear water stain on it that was different from the rest of the fabric.

It must have been her doing.

She stopped and said, “Brother Sheng Yu, your clothes seem to be wet from me. Do you want to change?”

Hearing this, Sheng Yu lowered his eyes and looked at his shirt, not caring. “No need, it’ll dry soon.”

“…Okay.”

Seeing this, Qiao Shuyi didn’t say anything else and quickened her pace towards the outside of the villa.
