Chapter 37: She’s Not Worthy of My Third Brother

“Hmm… it’s something you can understand but can’t put into words.”

Of course, Sheng Xiao knew his own personality and knew what kind of person Lin Yuan was referring to. He was just teasing her.

In his heart, teasing Lin Yuan was more interesting than anything else.

Especially in certain places…

Sheng Xiao didn’t know where he found a clean towel, but he draped it over Lin Yuan’s head to dry her hair. Lin Yuan sat opposite him, obediently still.

When Zhou Yaokun came over, he cleared his throat and made a little noise, “Busy?”

Lin Yuan moved Sheng Xiao’s towel from her head, “What’s up, Brother Kun?”

Sheng Xiao heard her address and his expression changed, “What did you call him?”

Lin Yuan didn’t react. She heard everyone call him that. When she was out and about, calling someone brother or sister was always easier.

“Brother Kun, you know.”

Sheng Xiao: “Call him by his name.”

Whenever he was slightly serious, his tone would unconsciously become stiff, like he was giving an order.

Even Zhou Yaokun, who was fearless, felt a chill down his spine.

He subconsciously stretched out his right hand and handed it to Sheng Xiao, “Zhou Yaokun.”

But Sheng Xiao just glanced at him coldly and then turned his attention back to Lin Yuan. Zhou Yaokun raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t get angry. He rubbed his hand against his pants seam and then stuffed it back into his pocket.

Lin Yuan awkwardly smiled at Zhou Yaokun. Her man always had this ability to make people feel awkward in a second, no matter where he was.

The phone rang at that moment.

Dayong told Lin Yuan everything on the other end, “Dayong, you’ve worked hard.”

“Yuan, should I call a car from the city to pick you up? Did they give you a hard time?”

Lin Yuan told him about the situation, “Don’t worry, my husband is coming to pick me up. We’ll go back together later.”

After hanging up the phone, she confirmed with Zhou Yaokun, “The company has transferred the payment, check your account.”

As soon as she finished speaking, an older woman ran over and whispered something in Zhou Yaokun’s ear. Zhou Yaokun narrowed his eyes and looked at Lin Yuan. He didn’t expect this little girl to actually get things done!

“Don’t worry, as soon as the rain stops, we’ll ship it out!”

Lin Yuan: “Okay, thank you.”

Sheng Xiao could see the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in this woman’s eyes. He unconsciously raised his lips and took her hand in his, “Happy now?”

Lin Yuan nodded frantically, “Of course. Even though this isn’t a big deal, it’s the first task I’ve completed since joining the company.”

Since those people wanted to see her make a fool of herself and suffer, she would prove them wrong by achieving something!

Sheng Xiao saw her proud little face, so vivid and lively. He couldn’t help but kiss her on the forehead. Lin Yuan looked around awkwardly.

Fortunately, everyone was busy and no one was looking at them.

The two of them were watching the rain at the door when a blue, flashy sports car parked sideways at the warehouse entrance. An Jinghao’s face slowly emerged from the half-lowered window. “Mr. Sheng, what a coincidence.”

Sheng Xiao gave him a cold stare. An Jinghao shrunk his neck, “The rain is so heavy, it won’t stop for a while. Why don’t you come to my friend’s place for a while? I’m worried you’ll get sick after getting wet.”

Lin Yuan didn’t want to go. An Jinghao had given her a very bad impression from the beginning. She felt it was better to avoid contact with him.

But Sheng Xiao turned his head and looked at her pants, which were already wet to her knees, and nodded, “Let’s go find you some clean clothes to change into. Don’t catch a cold.”

Lin Yuan didn’t understand why Sheng Xiao didn’t feel the same sense of discomfort in front of An Jinghao. Instead, it seemed like he was even more dominant than An Jinghao.

Sheng Xiao got in the car first. Lin Yuan went to tell Zhou Yaokun about the shipment.

“Third Brother, I’m not saying this to be mean, but this little sister-in-law really does everything herself. She gets along well with the people at that broken pipe warehouse, huh?”

He spoke cautiously, glancing at Sheng Xiao behind him. Sheng Xiao lifted his eyelids and looked at him, “Spit it out.”

An Jinghao: “Third Brother, are you really going to take her back to the capital? Our kind of family isn’t something just anyone can adapt to. She’s like…”

Before he could finish, Sheng Xiao interrupted him coldly, “Haozi, what’s she like?”

“She has no family background, no connections. When Third Brother needs help in the future, what can she give you?”

The Sheng family wasn’t exactly peaceful. If it weren’t for this, Sheng Xiao wouldn’t have stayed in Yancheng for so long.

Sheng Xiao: “I, Sheng Xiao, never rely on women to rise to power. You’ve said this once in front of me, that’s enough. If you say it in front of her, you know what I’m like.”

An Jinghao sighed reluctantly, “Okay, I understand.”

In the warehouse, Lin Yuan stood beside Zhou Yaokun, “Mr. Zhou, please check the shipment and operate it as soon as possible.”

Zhou Yaokun: This woman is really obedient. She’s not calling him Brother Kun anymore, she’s calling him Mr. Zhou?

“Hey, thanks for today.”

This woman helped them a lot today. He was just a rough man and couldn’t say anything more than thank you. To him, a single “thank you” was a big deal.

Lin Yuan: “It’s what I should do. I’ve accepted it.”

Zhou Yaokun was stunned, then he laughed, “Little girl… little girl, if you ever need anything from me, Zhou Yaokun, just say the word. I have some influence in this area. If you encounter any difficulties, just give me a call.”

They had exchanged contact information earlier. They still needed to communicate and discuss the follow-up of the shipment.

Lin Yuan nodded. She took Zhou Yaokun’s words as empty promises, not realizing the great help he would give her in the future!

She got in An Jinghao’s car and sat next to Sheng Xiao. Sheng Xiao held her hand the whole time.

The car drove directly into a private estate.

The entire estate was designed like a European castle. The main building stood on a vast lawn. They drove past the estate’s library, banquet hall, swimming pool, and even a small racetrack.

When the three of them entered the house, a servant came to greet them.

“An Shao, S…” An Jinghao hurriedly called out, “Go down.”

The servant was startled and secretly glanced at Sheng Xiao and Lin Yuan before quickly retreating.

An Jinghao took the two of them to a room on the second floor that looked rather cold. He introduced them, “Mr. Sheng, you can use this room. The two of you can rest for a while. The servants will come up and call you when it’s time for dinner.”

He finished speaking and closed the door and left.

Sheng Xiao expertly walked into the bathroom and turned on the water. As soon as he turned on the faucet, he seemed to remember something and went out to see Lin Yuan, “Yuan, why don’t you come in?”
