Wen Xian seemed to be frightened by Shen Lingge’s kiss, all her struggles halted, the thoughts in her already messy brain at this moment went completely blank.
She opened her eyes, in a daze, looking at Shen Lingge.
Shen Lingge slowly left Wen Xian’s lips, again lingeringly kissing away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
Those sour, uneasy, sad emotions seemed to all be taken away one by one by Shen Lingge.
Wen Xian was uneasy and at a loss, she stayed quiet for a very, very long time before opening her mouth to ask: “You… what are you doing?”
Shen Lingge let out a low laugh, he raised his hand to smooth her slightly messy hair behind her ear: “Silly girl, I’m kissing you.”
At once, Wen Xian was like a balloon that had been deflated, she stammered: “You… why… why are you kissing me?”
Shen Lingge directly picked her up, waited until she was properly sitting on his lap before unhurriedly repeating: “Because I like you, so I kiss you, want you.”
His voice suddenly deepened: “So I don’t want to be abandoned by you.”
Wen Xian clutched Shen Lingge’s shirt hem, wrinkling his expensive shirt into a mess, she paused for a long time before muffledly saying: “It was you who said, you are not the shortcut to achieving goals.”
Wen Xian aggrievedly said: “I don’t want those things you give me, I also don’t want shortcuts, I can live very well on my own.”
Shen Lingge didn’t expect that all this time she had been stuck on that sentence of his.
He lightly sighed, caressing her soft hair as he spoke in a low voice: “I’m not your shortcut, you are my shortcut.”
“Xian Xian, I have never loved anyone, it was you who taught me how to treat someone well.”
“Those things are not things I gave you, they are things you were originally meant to have.”
“Xian Xian, I know I can also live very well, but I can’t bear to.”
Shen Lingge knew, if Wen Xian really wanted, she could have a life like now at any time, she possessed a power unknown to all people, she could create the world.
But she just lived in that small apartment, living a life the same as ordinary people.
Shen Lingge held her fingertips, asked in a gentle voice: “Xian Xian, only I am special, right?”
Wen Xian lowered her eyes, softly responded: “En, all the things before were things that originally did not exist, they were created by my imagination together with Yu. But you are not, I thought it was me who brought you to this world.”
Shen Lingge laughed once: “That night I was taking a shower, but in the blink of an eye I appeared in your apartment.”
With Shen Lingge’s words, Wen Xian recalled how Shen Lingge looked that night, he was lying stark naked on her floor. She pursed her lips and softly said: “Newborn babies are all stark naked, so at that time I thought…”
Shen Lingge: “……”
Wen Xian carefully raised her eyes to glance at Shen Lingge: “Sor—”
Before she could finish speaking, Shen Lingge pressed close again, completely blocking her apology.
After letting go of Wen Xian, Shen Lingge’s brows and eyes were full of joy, he lightly pinched her burning earlobe with his fingertip, smilingly said: “From now on, whenever you say sorry, I’ll kiss you once.”
Wen Xian struggled to climb down from him, she tilted her head to glance at the road outside: “Are we going home?”
Shen Lingge instead lightly tutted once, again pulling her to sit back, he trapped her in his arms not letting her move around again, tone dangerous: “You still haven’t told me what Qin Zan said to you.”
Wen Xian unhappily puffed up her small face, softly muttering: “Why are you so petty?”
Wen Xian knew that if she didn’t make things clear, Shen Lingge would not let it go, so she could only honestly say: “Big Brother Qin told me these days when I go home to pay attention to safety, told me to be careful of strangers.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Lingge furrowed his brows, he was afraid Wen Xian would feel uncomfortable so he never arranged bodyguards to follow her, but every day to and from work there was a driver and Duoduo accompanying her. But now Qin Zan actually said such words.
He pondered for a moment, said: “From now on I’ll assign another car to follow you, there must also be a bodyguard in the car.”
Wen Xian did not resist Shen Lingge’s decision, she knew if something really happened to her, the trouble brought would be far more than these things. But she didn’t know why Qin Zan said such words.
Shen Lingge thought about investigating this matter, but at the moment he cared more about Wen Xian’s attitude, he pinched her slender wrist and asked: “From now on, are you still going to hide from me?”
Wen Xian raised her eyes and glanced at him: “I didn’t hide from you.”
Shen Lingge coldly repeated the words she said that day: “The money for my mother’s set of jewelry I will find a way to pay you back, I will move back to Licheng Garden, you give Zanzan back to me.”
“Weren’t these what you said? You even don’t want me anymore.”
Wen Xian suddenly recalled Shen Lingge’s kiss again, she turned her eyes away, with a faint shyness: “You’re not allowed to kiss me again from now on, me and you… aren’t that kind of intimate relationship.”
Shen Lingge’s black eyes slightly darkened, he said in a low voice: “What kind of relationship do you still want to have with me? Who was it that as soon as she saw me said I was her boyfriend? Who said in the future she wants to marry me, the kind that won’t divorce?”
Wen Xian: “… Anyway, it wasn’t me.”
While the two were entangled, the car had already driven to Wen Mountain Villa, Wen Xian saw the car had stopped and couldn’t wait to open the car door wanting to run into the house, but before she ran a few steps she was carried up by Shen Lingge.
The scene in front of her spun, Wen Xian let out a cry and started pounding Shen Lingge: “Shen Lingge what are you doing! Put me down! I’m going to call Wen Xianxian to bite you!”
After speaking Wen Xian started calling Wen Xianxian: “Xian Xian! Xian Xian come out and bite people!”
Wen Xianxian, who was playing with a ball, upon hearing Wen Xian’s voice immediately perked up its ears, it at once ran out with its short little legs, this little thing as soon as it saw Shen Lingge stuck to him stickily.
Wen Xianxian: “Awoo~ woof!”
Wen Xian glared at Wen Xianxian with hate for iron not becoming steel [恨铁不成钢, idiom: to hate someone for failing to meet expectations]: “Usually feeding you so much meat for nothing!”
Shen Lingge carried her inside while lightly humming: “Even the dog is more loyal than you.”
Wen Xian: “……”
Duoduo in the villa also quietly peeked out from behind the door upon hearing the commotion, seeing Wen Xian and Shen Lingge come back together, she quietly curved her lips, Miss looks much happier now.
Shen Lingge directly carried Wen Xian upstairs, Wen Xian saw that Duoduo and Uncle Butler both didn’t come to help her, so she simply didn’t struggle anymore, softened her body and let Shen Lingge carry her back to the room.
As soon as Shen Lingge put the little girl on the bed, she kicked off her shoes and climbed to the other side of the bed, even hiding into the blanket, only revealing a pair of eyes cautiously staring at him.
He didn’t force her again, so as not to scare her back into her shell.
He just looked at her with light eyes: “Nothing to do with me? Fine, then I’ll tell you right here right now, starting from the next second, I, Shen Lingge, am your pursuer.”
His voice carried a slight hoarseness, in his black eyes dark fire faintly burning: “As long as you say one word, I am yours, everything I have all belongs to you.”
After speaking Shen Lingge didn’t care about Wen Xian’s reaction, turned around and walked out, only in the moment of closing the door said in a low voice: “Go take a shower first, after washing come down to eat a little night snack, I’ll accompany you to eat.”
“Pa-da——”
The door was closed.
Wen Xian suddenly let out a breath, she had been holding her breath listening to him speak.
Wen Xian slowly put down the blanket, she had to admit no matter how her rationality reminded her, her heart still beat because of his words.
The person Wen Xian secretly liked also liked her.
She covered her burning face, not knowing what to do.
Wen Xian buried her face into the blanket and rolled on the bed a few times, only stopping when she almost rolled off the bed, in the end, with a face completely red, she hugged her pajamas and went into the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Wen Xian changed into pajamas and slowly, slowly came downstairs.
And Shen Lingge was at this moment ordering people to investigate the reason why Qin Zan said that sentence. These days, every route Wen Xian passed by, he had already ordered to be thoroughly investigated, he would not allow Wen Xian to have the slightest mistake.
Seeing Wen Xian coming downstairs, Shen Lingge lowered his voice to instruct a few words then hung up the phone.
He tilted his head to look toward the little girl, she was as lazy as before, her hair was only half dry.
She stopped at the staircase entrance looking at him for a while, then lifted her steps slowly, slowly walking toward him, slightly wet strands of hair swaying lightly with her movements, a pair of deer eyes looking at him twice then shifting away again.
Qiuqiu was clinging to Duoduo wanting a hug, while Wen Xianxian was sticking to Shen Lingge’s leg.
Wen Xian obediently sat down at the dining table, earlier during dinner she had only eaten half a pair of chopsticks when it was snatched away by Zhuo Xiangshuang, now she was hungry again.
Because Wen Xian had been sick some time ago, the butler and Duoduo both controlled her diet, not letting her eat snacks and greasy, meaty, or spicy and stimulating foods. Tonight’s prepared late-night snack was also a light vegetable congee.
She held the bowl and took a few small sips, then lifted her eyes to secretly glance at Shen Lingge.
As soon as she lifted her head, her gaze was immediately caught by him, Wen Xian in a panic lowered her eyes again not daring to look at him anymore.
Shen Lingge only felt it funny, this little girl’s courage really was only a tiny bit.
At the same time.
Qin Zan received a report from his assistant, knowing that Shen Lingge was already investigating Wen Xian’s matter. He lowered his voice and instructed the assistant to send those materials to Shen Lingge’s people. Although he and Shen Lingge were love rivals, this matter concerned Wen Xian, he did not dare to be careless.
Qin Zan furrowed his brows and pondered for a while. Tonight at the Shen family’s banquet he saw quite a few acquaintances, he clearly understood their intentions, but he hadn’t expected to see Xu Chuwei at the banquet as well.
The matters between the Xu family and the Shen family had already spread all over Licheng almost every few days, everyone was afraid of following in the Xu family’s footsteps.
What was Xu Chuwei’s purpose in coming here?
Qin Zan immediately sent someone to check Xu Chuwei’s information.
And Xu Chuwei at this moment was drinking away her sorrows at a bar, tonight she had as she wished seen Shen Lingge again, but he didn’t even remember who she was, his gaze incomparably cold.
But in the blink of an eye, such a cold and proud person instead carefully held Wen Xian in his arms.
Others might not recognize who that was, but Xu Chuwei could recognize her at a glance. After all, they had once been so close and intimate.
She laughed mockingly, too laughable. Those things that were so hard to obtain for her, instead Wen Xian could easily get. Wen Xian seemed like she would always be her curse.
…
After Wen Xian finished eating, she hugged Qiuqiu and played for a while. And Shen Lingge seemed to still be handling business matters, his brows furrowed as he stared at the content displayed on the screen, his expression not looking good.
After Shen Lingge finished reading the materials Qin Zan had sent someone to deliver, he glanced at the bottom right corner time, it was already ten thirty.
He stepped over to Wen Xian’s side, reached out and picked up Qiuqiu, his other hand holding the little girl’s hand. While walking he said: “Go upstairs to sleep, tomorrow is the weekend, I’ll take you out to play.”
Wen Xian softly muttered: “I don’t want to go out to play with you.”
Shen Lingge’s footsteps did not stop, only his voice slightly cold: “Wen Xian, do you want me to kiss you again?”
Wen Xian: “……”
Damn dog thing!
