Arrogant Wife, Don’t Run Away - C29
In the silence of the coffee shop, the two of them sat there awkwardly without saying anything. Shen Xingyue held the cup in her hand, not knowing what to say.
He Yang leaned back in his chair, admiring Shen Xingyue with a smile on his face. He felt that it was good to just sit there quietly like this, giving him time to have a good look at this Angel.
“What do you want to eat?” The other party’s gaze was too passionate, and her entire body felt uncomfortable under his gaze.
With a chuckle, he leaned over and said, “I’ll eat whatever you like.” The voice was enticing and indistinct. His eyes never left Shen Xingyue as he slowly extended his hands forward and grasped the pair of small, white hands.
He Yang quickly retreated, “Since that’s the case, then let’s go eat ice cream. It’s not bad for me to treat you to three servings of ice cream.” Ever since she was young, she didn’t like hot food, so ice cream had always been her first choice. Furthermore, Wu Wei didn’t give her food to eat, so she could only secretly find ice cream to satisfy her hunger.
Rubbing his stomach, he nodded without the slightest hesitation. “Alright, then go and eat until you feel good.” Ye Zichen held Shen Xingyue’s hand and walked out.
The two of them sat in the Hargendass, and the crowd looked back, but this time it wasn’t because of their looks but because of the whole table full of ice cream.
“Are you crazy, to order so many.” Shen Xingyue embarrassedly covered her face and asked He Yang in a low voice. She didn’t expect that the moment the two of them came in, this guy would order all the ice cream on the display cabinet and refuse to give them the money.
He casually picked up the cup in front of him, “There are so many of them, I have to try them all. Coincidentally, don’t you like them? Then I’ll let you have them all.” He put a spoonful into his mouth and didn’t dare to swallow it.
Helplessly shaking her head, she had no choice but to eat since she had ordered so much. Shen Xingyue rubbed her hands and started to head towards the army of ice cream.
“What’s the matter with you?” Ye Zichen put down the empty third cup and looked up, only to see He Yang frowning, clutching his stomach with a face covered in cold sweat.
With great difficulty, he forced out a smile and waved his hand, “It’s alright, I’ve always been this way. I’ll be fine in a moment.” As soon as he finished, he rolled his eyes and fainted on the sofa.
“Hey, He Yang, what happened to you?” Shen Xingyue rushed to He Yang’s side and inquired loudly. After seeing that there was no response, she hurriedly took out her phone to make an emergency call.
Anxiously wandering around the emergency room door, the doctor finally walked out. “The patient has a very serious stomach disease and can’t eat cold. Don’t you know that as a friend?” Before Shen Xingyue could say anything, the doctor impatiently scolded her with a frown.
Ye Zichen looked up in surprise, then looked at He Yang, who was in the ward, “What are you trying to do? You scared me to death.” He strode forward, complaining with dissatisfaction. If he knew he couldn’t eat cold, he wouldn’t take him to eat ice cream no matter what.
“It’s fine, it’s been a long time since I’ve committed a crime. I thought it was fine.” He squeezed Shen Xingyue’s hand with a smile and said, “What’s more, I’m willing to do anything for you.”
“What are you like, still so naughty. Hurry up and get some rest, I’ll be here to accompany you tonight.” Seeing his pale face, Shen Xingyue could not bear to say anything more. After all, his current appearance was related to her.
He forced himself to sit up against the headboard and said, “Go back first. There’ll be someone to accompany me in a while. You can’t help but feel tired after working all day. But tomorrow, you’ll have to look after me.”
Shen Xingyue still wanted to say something, but He Yang stopped her, “Alright then, I’ll come see you tomorrow.” He didn’t persist any further. Carrying his backpack, he glanced at He Yang worriedly, then left after giving a few words of advice.
Watching Shen Xingyue leave, He Yangteng sat up on the bed, removed the needle from his hand, picked up his clothes and left the ward. He was extremely agile, if not for his pale face, it would be impossible to tell that he was a patient.
“You’re back, why are you so late?” Just as he entered, he coincidentally saw Gu Luocheng walking down the stairs. He was holding a cup in his hand and was wearing a house uniform.
After changing his shoes, he rubbed his shoulders and walked to the sofa. “Don’t mention it. A friend of mine is sick. I went to the hospital to see him. I’ve been tormenting myself until now to come back.”
“What’s wrong? Is it serious?”
“Nothing much. Oh right, my first design sketch has been passed.” He suddenly recalled what happened during the day and hastily shared his joy with Gu Luocheng.
He put down the cup and sat beside her. “Really? That’s great. Are you happy?” Seeing Shen Xingyue so happy, he also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Nodding his head, he said, “Of course, the first battle is already a success. I heard that there’s still a bonus after this one.” The success of the deal was to prove that he was not a vase, and that his situation at the company could improve a little.
“Do you really need money that badly?” Hearing the gist of her words, she lightly sipped her coffee and casually asked.
Although compared to the Gu family, the Shen family’s strength was only average, but in Spring City, the Shen family’s finances were definitely top-notch. However, the eldest daughter of the Shen family had always been running for money, could it be that the Shen family wasn’t going to give her pocket money?
He needed to investigate this matter thoroughly. What was Shen Xingyue’s situation in the Shen family these past few years? If they really did not treat her well, then he would let them receive the punishment they deserved.
He was stunned for a moment before he smiled, “Money? No one would mind having too much if I had too much. No one would mind having too much money.” He stood up and patted Gu Luocheng on the shoulder, pretending to be old and experienced.
“Right, tomorrow is Sunday, right?” As he was walking up the stairs, he suddenly recalled his promise to accompany him to the party and turned around to confirm.
“Yeah, are you busy tomorrow?” “Accompany me shopping.” He smiled at Shen Xingyue. When he helped her move, she only had those few boxes. There weren’t many things and she didn’t have many clothes, so she probably didn’t have any formal attire.
Shen Xingyue felt a headache whenever she thought of the gala. It was Wu Wei’s idea to attend any gala party, so naturally, she was the one who prepared the evening dress. She really didn’t have any clothes on herself.
Seeing that she didn’t answer him and instead called out to him a few times, Shen Xingyue finally came back to her senses. “Sure, boss gave me a day’s leave. However, that can’t happen until I return from the hospital tomorrow.”
“Then it’s a deal.” After making an agreement and watching her return to her room, Gu Luocheng took out his phone and sent out Shen Xingyue’s model.
He waited for a while and watched the screen light up. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile as he drained the cup of coffee in one gulp. Then, he got up and walked upstairs.
