Chapter 47

At Xiyuan Residence.

Luo Wan received a notification about advancing to the jewelry design competition, scheduled for a week later.

With nothing much to do today, Luo Wan sat on the rocking chair in the yard, a notebook on her lap. She intended to organize her thoughts first.

Suddenly, Aunt Li walked over and whispered, “Madam, Young Master wants you to deliver lunch to the company at noon.”

Luo Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked uncertainly, “Deliver lunch?”

“Yes. The Young Master doesn’t like the food outside. Usually, it’s prepared here at Xiyuan and sent over.” Aunt Li tried to remain calm as she recalled how the Young Master had instructed.

“His stomach hasn’t been well these days, so we need to be more careful,” Aunt Li added.

Luo Wan had no doubts about Aunt Li’s words. Without much thought, she set aside her notebook and stood up directly.

“Alright.”

Aunt Li quickly packed the meal and handed it to Luo Wan, saying, “This is enough for two people. Madam can eat with the Young Master, it’s more enjoyable to have a meal together.”

Luo Wan nodded without suspicion.

As she was about to leave, she remembered Aunt Li’s mention of Sheng Qing’s recent stomach issues. She went back upstairs and found a pill in the cabinet to take with her.

This pill was specifically for treating stomach ailments. She had used herbs from the border to refine it before. It worked exceptionally well but tasted extremely bitter.

But good medicine always tasted bitter.

As usual, it was Uncle Wang driving.

Luo Wan sat in the back seat, watching the scenery passing by outside the window. She decided that she should get a driver’s license to avoid troubling Uncle Wang every time they went out.

“Uncle Wang, do you know where there’s a place nearby to take driving lessons?”

Uncle Wang looked up in surprise and glanced at her through the rearview mirror.

“Madam, you want to learn to drive?”

“Yes.”

Luo Wan nodded. “It’ll be more convenient for outings in the future.”

Mainly because she knew how to drive, she just lacked the license. She used to often tinker with racing cars at the border, so now she felt a bit itchy not being able to drive.

Uncle Wang didn’t say much, he just gave her an address.

Luo Wan noted down the address.

Soon the car arrived at the Sheng Corporation’s building.

Luo Wan got out of the car with the lunchbox.

Today, Luo Wan was still dressed casually, but this time the receptionist greeted her with a smile.

The news from the auction last night had already spread throughout the company.

Everyone was amazed by the demeanor of the CEO’s wife.

When Luo Wan appeared, everyone held their breath. The receptionist bent down respectfully.

The receptionist respectfully led her to the CEO’s exclusive elevator.

The elevator went straight to the top floor.

Inside the company office, the man was busy reading documents, wearing a restrained suit that perfectly complemented his handsome features and focused expression, making him pleasing to the eye.

Luo Wan walked in carrying the lunchbox.

The man heard the movement and looked up, setting down his pen when he saw her.

He beckoned her over with a finger.

Luo Wan placed the lunchbox on the table and obediently walked over.

As she approached, the man suddenly pulled her hand with force, causing Luo Wan to stumble into his arms.

“Let me hold you,” Sheng Qing’s voice sounded weary.

He enveloped Luo Wan entirely in his embrace, burying his head in the crook of her neck, deeply inhaling her scent.

Luo Wan’s neck was her most sensitive spot. The man’s breath lightly brushed against it, causing her body to instantly relax.

“You’re so soft, and you smell so good,” Sheng Qing said with closed eyes, intoxicated by her scent.

He felt like he was addicted. Even though they had been apart for just a few hours, he already missed her terribly.

That’s why he had gone to great lengths to trick her into coming to the company.

While the two were indulging in each other, there was a knock on the office door.

Luo Wan was startled and quickly struggled to get up.

She was currently sitting on the man’s lap with her back against his chest, a position that reminded her of their indulgent moments at home.

If someone were to see them like this, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

But the man’s arm was like a vice, and Luo Wan couldn’t break free.

“Come in,” Sheng Qing commanded, his voice deep as he held her in his arms.

In walked Xu Zheng, followed by several executives.

Luo Wan’s eyes widened. How coincidental that these people showed up now.

She quickly sat up straight, trying to make their posture less suggestive.

Luo Wan was now both shy and nervous, completely unaware that this posture brought them even closer together.

She felt the man’s body tense behind her, as if he hadn’t anticipated so many people.

“What are you all here for?” Sheng Qing asked coldly, his face darkening.

It was evident he was displeased at being interrupted.

The executives were all sweating nervously.

From their perspective, they could only see the overlapping upper bodies of the two, with the lower halves conveniently hidden behind the desk.

Seeing the total red-faced shyness of the CEO’s wife and the CEO…

With their faces tinged with embarrassment, it was easy to guess what the two were up to.

No one dared to move, instead looking to Assistant Xu for help.

Assistant Xu could only summarize the situation as succinctly as possible before Sheng Qing, whose responsiveness was beyond ordinary, thoughtfully pondered for a few seconds before launching into a series of professional jargon.

A few minutes later, the group left.

As the office door closed, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

“Mr. Sheng is truly enjoying the honeymoon phase.”

“After being single for so many years, it’s normal to be unable to contain oneself after suddenly getting married.”

…

The men gossiped about their CEO’s romantic escapades like a bunch of women.

Ahem.

Assistant Xu cleared his throat twice to remind them, “If you want to get punished, feel free to continue gossiping here. I’m leaving.”

Only then did the group depart.

In the office, Luo Wan remained stiff.

Seeing the girl’s flushed cheeks, Sheng Qing chuckled softly.

There was no trace of the cold indifference he showed to his subordinates just now.

He deliberately moved forward slightly, then leaned down and whispered in Luo Wan’s ear, his voice deep, “Feeling anything?”

Feeling what?

Luo Wan raised her head in confusion, not understanding.

Sheng Qing smirked mischievously and moved again.

Now she understood what he meant, her ears turning red along with her cheeks.

Unable to sit still any longer, she struggled to get up.

“Pervert.”

This time she easily broke free and went to sit on the sofa.

Suddenly, Assistant Xu, who had already left, returned.

Sheng Qing had planned to accompany his wife, but when he saw someone entering, he sat back down.

“Do you have urgent matters?” Sheng Qing asked.

Assistant Xu said with a bitter face, “Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Su and Miss Su are waiting downstairs.”

Hearing this, Sheng Qing frowned.

The purpose of their visit at this time was obvious.

“Just say I’m not here.” For those who dared to bully his wife, not giving them a hard time would only encourage them.

“The old lady said she must see you today.”

Sheng Qing still wanted to refuse, but a melodious voice beside him said, “Let them come up.”

Assistant Xu looked at Sheng Qing, who nodded.

Only then did he leave to carry out the order.

Luo Wan hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and ran back to sit on Sheng Qing’s lap.
