Mr. Shen’s Wife Is Too Seductive - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Lying

“Shen Nanxiao, wait a moment. I’m going to the bathroom. We’ll talk when I get back,” Liu Qi said, and ran away.

Buzz Buzz Buzz

Liu Qi’s phone rang on the carpet, and a message popped up on the screen.

Roland: “Ah Qi, let’s meet at the café at the front gate of Wanhe Park at one o’clock tomorrow afternoon. You’re tired today too. Have a good rest.”

It was already three minutes later when Liu Qi came out. She jumped into the man’s arms and continued to act flighty. “Shen Nanxiao, is that okay?”

“Okay.”

Shen Nanxiao agreed immediately, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.

“Go to sleep. Come out with me tomorrow afternoon.” Shen Nanxiao ordered in a tone that was as cold as snow falling on his neck.

Liu Qi nestled in the man’s arms, her big eyes staring at the man’s clear chin.

She could not figure it out. Seriously… he was fine just now; why was he suddenly so fierce? Seeing the little girl was a little dazed, Shen Nanxiao said again. “Don’t make me say it

again.”

“Oh… Good night then!”

Shen Nanxiao’s gloomy face made her feel a little scared, so she could only obediently get up and run back to her room.

She felt very strange. Why was Shen Nanxiao suddenly angry? Was it because she was being unreasonable?

Forget it, forget it. He had already agreed to

Shen Nanxiao sat on the sofa, deep in thought. His slender fingers pinched the space between his brows, and there were still traces of the little girl’s warmth in his embrace.

He had investigated the relationship between Lu Xue and Nangong Shu. He did not want the little girl to be deceived, so he had repeatedly stopped her.

However, she did not believe him.

Now that she hated Lu Xue so much, she must have found out.

Sometimes… He really wanted to let go, as long as she was happy.

However, he was selfish and only wanted to have her for himself.

Four in the morning.

Liu Qi ran out in a daze to look for water to drink. Perhaps it was too dry in North City, so she, who was raised in misty rain weather, was not used to it.

After drinking the water, she returned to her room unsteadily and habitually opened the door on her right. Regardless of whether she was staying at Shen Nanxiao’s house or her own house, her door was always on her right.

The person in the room had always been a very light sleeper. He would wake up if there was even the slightest movement.

A pair of phoenix eyes that were shrouded in darkness opened. He watched as the little girl closed the door and climbed onto the bed with a rustling sound. She drummed two times beside him, then there was no movement.

Liu Qi smelled the fragrance of the lotus in her daze. She turned around and moved toward the source. It was as if she was hugging a large and elegant lotus flower. She could not help but hug it even tighter.

When the sound of gentle breathing came, Shen Nanxiao was completely unable to sleep. The depths of his eyes, which were as deep as a cold pond, were threads of emotion that no one could see through.

“Oh… Shen Nanxiao…”

“I like you… mmm…”

This babbling made the man tense up.

Huff… Shen Nanxiao let out a deep breath. He turned his body and hugged the little girl in his arms.

This little liar always made him go soft.

“Little girl, stay by my side forever, okay?” Shen Nanxiao’s voice had never been so gentle before. It was like the wind blowing in the distant mountains in spring, and the morning dew dripping down from the clear lotus in summer.

The next day.

It was already noon when Liu Qi woke up. She sat at the dining table and carefully ate the wonton made by Lan Lan.

From time to time, she would peek at Shen Nanxiao, who was not far away, with a cold expression on his face.

The man was sitting on the sofa with his long legs crossed. His cold eyes seemed to be unfocused, and his entire person was filled with a calmness like a cold pool.

From last night until now, Shen Nanxiao had been rather neutral to her.

Moreover… when she woke up today, she was in another room. Could it be that Shen Nanxiao moved her out in the middle of the night?

“Are you done eating? If you’re done eating, go and change your clothes.” Shen Nanxiao’s eyes were solemn, and there was a hint of sternness in his tone.

“Okay~” Liu Qi finished the last mouthful of soup and pouted her lips in dissatisfaction. She looked at Shen Nanxiao with some annoyance and cursed in her heart, why are you so fierce!

“Miss Liu, the young master has a few sets of formal clothes sent over today. I’ll bring you over to take a look.” Lan Lan smiled as she went to help Liu Qi up. She could tell that there was something wrong with the two of them today.

She did not know what was going on. Could it be that they had a fight? Logically speaking, the young master would not have a fight with Miss Liu.

North City, Night Banquet International.

This was a place for business gatherings. Liu Qi did not know why Shen Nanxiao brought her here.

She held the man’s arm and turned her head to ask, “Shen Nanxiao, what are we going to

do?”

Shen Nanxiao’s face was cold. He did not have the intention of paying attention to the little girl. Along the way, he could see that the little girl was absent-minded. From time to time, she secretly sized him up.

Perhaps it was because he was too selfish, but today, he refused to let her see Nangong Shu.

His question sank like a stone into the ocean. Liu Qi suddenly became a little angry. She let go of her hand and muttered, “I don’t want to go! I want to go back.”

Shen Nanxiao stopped and opened his mouth slightly. His tone was cold. “Do you really want to see him that much?”

“Huh? Who?” Liu Qi was confused. Who was Shen Nanxiao talking about?

“I don’t like people lying to me.” Shen Nanxiao looked down at her with cold eyes.

Liu Qi did not know how to answer for a moment. She did not understand what Shen Nanxiao meant.

When did she lie? She did not.

“Let’s go.” Shen Nanxiao left as soon as he finished speaking.

Wu Feng looked at his President and then looked at Liu Qi. After hesitating, he chose to follow Shen Nanxiao.

“…” Liu Qi bit her lip and helplessly followed him.

After entering the hall and passing through the magnificent corridor, Liu Qi still followed Shen Nanxiao at a distance.

It was not until she entered a large private room that she realized why Shen Nanxiao was here.

She might not know the others in the room, but she could not forget the face of one of the women!

It was Lu Xue.

It seemed that this was a business meeting between the investors and the production team.

The moment Liu Qi saw Lu Xue, she was filled with hatred. She recalled how Lu Xue and Nangong Shu had treated her in her previous life.

She also recalled the truth that Lu Xue had told her a long time ago. Nangong Shu had married her for money, and the tonic he gave her was poison. When she died, Nangong Shu would marry Lu Xue.

However, she was stupid. She thought that Lu Xue was jealous of her, so she told her those things.

“President Shen is here. Take a seat, take a seat.” Director Li Minghua quickly stood up and walked toward Shen Nanxiao enthusiastically. He was in his forties. His looks were average, but his eyes were a little shrewd.

It was said that this Li Minghua used to sell condiments. Because the price was too high, his reputation went down. The condiment factory also closed down, so he changed careers and became a director.

Shen Nanxiao was welcomed to the main seat by Li Minghua and sat in the middle of the sofa.

Then, a few flighty women came over one after another.

Liu Qi, who had just walked to the sofa, looked at Shen Nanxiao helplessly. Where should she sit?

However, Shen Nanxiao coldly took the wine from one of the women and elegantly shook the cup, completely ignoring her.

Wu Feng was completely stunned. Where had he seen another woman beside Shen Nanxiao before? Whoever dared to come would be thrown out.

In addition, Director Li Minghua’s face began to sweat.

If he offended Shen Nanxiao, the King of Hades in the business world, his career as a director would probably come to an end.

However, when he saw Shen Nanxiao take the wine from the female publicist, Li Minghua was not only surprised, but also relieved.

Everything seemed to have quieted down. It was only then that everyone noticed Liu Qi.

She was dressed in a small black dress. The curvy and graceful design of her tube top made her waist appear slim, as if she could not withstand a single grip.

Her black hair hung down vertically, covering the faintly discernible swan’s neck, making her appear somewhat charming and moving.

Lu Xue did not know Liu Qi at the moment. Looking at Liu Qi, standing alone in the middle, she seemed to be someone brought here by President Shen.

She gently waved at Liu Qi. “Sister, come and sit.”

At the same time, the noble man on Shen Nanxiao’s left also spoke at that moment. He pointed at Liu Qi and raised his beautiful eyebrows. With a smirk, he said, “Come over and sit in my arms.”

After saying that, he pushed the woman in his arms out and opened his arms wide, waiting for Liu Qi to come over.

This man was the Vice President of the Tiansa Corporation. His name was Tian Ming, and he was also the largest investor in The Ballad of the South Wind other than Shen Nanxiao.
