Chapter 38: Sheng Xiao, Stop

Lin Yuan: “Sheng Xiao, have you been here before?”

Why does it seem so familiar?

Sheng Xiao chuckled, “Aren’t bathrooms always in this position? Alright, go quickly and take a shower, or you’ll get sick.”

He then pushed Lin Yuan into the bathroom.

Lin Yuan thought about it, and it was true, bathrooms are usually in these corner positions.

Her clothes were sticky and uncomfortable, and she started to unbutton them. After undoing two buttons, she looked at Sheng Xiao who was still standing there motionless, “Why aren’t you going out?”

Sheng Xiao: “We’ll shower together, to save the master some water.”

Lin Yuan’s face, whether from the cold or embarrassment, turned red, “Don’t be silly, this isn’t home, it’s not good if people hear us.”

Sheng Xiao pressed her down to help her take off her outer clothes, “What parts of you haven’t I touched with my fingers? What are you shy about?”

When she was down to just her bra, Sheng Xiao went to help her take off her jeans, “I’ve touched every part of you, what are you shy about?”

As she was about to be completely naked, Sheng Xiao directly carried her into the bathtub. She hurriedly sank down, “Sheng Xiao, get out quickly.”

There were only rustling sounds of clothes being removed in the bathroom, and then there was silence.

Lin Yuan couldn’t hold her breath in the water for long. Thinking that Sheng Xiao had probably left, she poked her head out of the water. Unexpectedly, the scene before her almost made her spit out a mouthful of blood.

That man’s certain parts were just a little higher than the bathtub, and at that moment, he was standing naked in front of the bathtub…

“You’re a pervert!” Lin Yuan hurriedly covered her eyes.

Sheng Xiao chuckled and stepped into the bathtub, “An Baoer, you’re so unreasonable. I looked at you, you say I’m a pervert, but you looked at me, and I’m still the pervert?”

He said this as he directly scooped her into his arms and kissed her.

“I don’t care, you are a pervert.” Lin Yuan’s mumbling complaints were blocked by Sheng Xiao, turning into broken sobs.

The water in the bathtub swayed and spilled onto the floor, rippling out in circles around the bathtub.

Lin Yuan’s soft body was pressed against Sheng Xiao’s.

She gave in to him.

“Still cold, An Baoer?”

This man just had a habit of asking obvious questions. How could Lin Yuan still be cold? She was now trembling with heat, burning up.

Of course, she really wanted to explode, but she wasn’t sure if it was from the heat.

With a red face and a small mouth, she hugged Sheng Xiao’s neck, “Sheng Xiao, stop quickly.”

Sheng Xiao suddenly stood up from the bathtub, held Lin Yuan and walked out of the bathtub to the full-length mirror in the bathroom, trapping her there, “An Baoer, look at yourself, how beautiful you are.”

Lin Yuan’s face was red as blood. She only glanced at the mirror before closing her eyes tightly.

Too embarrassing!

This annoying man, Sheng Xiao!

But Sheng Xiao wouldn’t let her close her eyes. Every time she closed her eyes, Sheng Xiao would tease her, “An Baoer, open your eyes and see how your man makes you happy.”

Although embarrassing, the secret excitement gave Lin Yuan a feeling she had never had before.

That feeling made her both crave and be ashamed to face it. In her complex emotions of entanglement, contradiction, and enjoyment, Sheng Xiao gave himself to her.

She practically collapsed onto the washbasin.

After Sheng Xiao cleaned her up, there were already clean clothes on the bed, not sure when they were placed there.

As soon as they changed, the maid knocked on the door, “Mr. Sheng, dinner is ready.”

“We know.”

Before they left, Lin Yuan pulled Sheng Xiao’s hand, “Sheng Xiao, do you really like interacting with An Shao?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“I just have this feeling.” She circled her index finger in Sheng Xiao’s palm, “Sheng Xiao, I don’t think people like An Shao are reliable. We should avoid interacting with them.”

“Don’t you think An… Shao can bring us a lot of resources?”

Lin Yuan naturally knew that someone with An Jinghao’s status would bring them many resources, but what would they have to exchange for these resources?

She absolutely didn’t believe that someone would be good to you for no reason and without asking for anything in return. If they don’t ask for anything now, it’s probably because the time isn’t right yet.

“Sheng Xiao, I know you men have ambitions, dreams, and hope to climb higher, but we can rely on our own hands and efforts. Look, you’re now working at Sheng Shi, and our lives will only get better and better.”

What she didn’t say was that I don’t want you to take shortcuts to success.

Sheng Xiao understood what she didn’t say.

However, their known situations were completely different. Sheng Xiao knew that Lin Yuan’s current thinking was not easy to change, so he simply stopped talking and just hugged Lin Yuan lightly, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

When they came down from the stairs, the dining table downstairs was already filled with food.

An Jinghao waved to them from downstairs, “Mr. Sheng, come and try the Wagyu beef my friend just airlifted from R-country.”

Lin Yuan’s hand tightened, Sheng Xiao held her finger back and led her downstairs.

He pulled out the chair for Lin Yuan first, and then sat down gracefully beside her.

Everyone at the table was stunned as they watched his smooth and effortless movements. It seemed like Sheng Xiao had done this so many times that he could do it with his eyes closed, it was pure muscle memory.

Zhan Yu’s open mouth was closed by Qin Zhuo next to him, “Your saliva is dripping.”

Sheng Xiao’s gaze swept across the three men opposite him, his eyes clearly conveying a message: Don’t say what you shouldn’t, don’t call what you shouldn’t!

Qin Zhuo pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, “Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, hello. I’m Qin Zhuo, a… lawyer.”

Zhan Yu was originally going to follow Qin Zhuo’s example and show off in front of Sheng Xiao and Lin Yuan, but after Qin Zhuo finished his sentence, Lin Yuan directly exclaimed with surprise, “You’re Lawyer Qin Zhuo?”

Her surprised expression made Sheng Xiao look sideways, “You’ve heard of him?”

Lin Yuan nodded, looking at Qin Zhuo with admiration, “Mi Yaoyao, she particularly admires Lawyer Qin. She’s always looked up to Lawyer Qin.”

“Lawyer Qin, I heard from my best friend that you’ve been developing your career abroad. Are you coming back to China now?”

Qin Zhuo didn’t expect to gain a fan. He nodded politely, “Yes, I’m planning to develop my career in China recently.”

Lin Yuan really wanted to call Mi Yaoyao immediately and tell her this amazing news.

Mi Yaoyao had praised Qin Zhuo endlessly in front of her.

The words of praise were like free money, she could go on for three days and three nights without repeating herself.

It’s just that Qin Zhuo rarely took cases in China, so few people had seen his true face. Even Mi Yaoyao, a die-hard fan, hadn’t seen him.

Just a name was enough for her to follow him.
