Chapter 119 The Antidote for the Abstinent Boss (34)
Zhou Shenye's expression proved that he was not against being touched by Qingyu.
Although Zhou Shenye's first feeling when desire surged was disgust, now, looking at Xie Qingyu, that feeling far outweighed disgust.
This experience was probably something he hadn't told anyone before, so after he frankly shared it, Zhou Shenye seemed somewhat indifferent.
It seems that the resurfacing of those distant memories at this moment has no effect on him, but if that were the case, he wouldn't have had such a severe attack today.
From the moment Xie Qingyu saw Zhou Shenye's outburst, everything she did was to soothe his emotions until he was truly calm.
Xie Qingyu knew.
From this moment on, from the moment he speaks out, this experience will no longer be a shackle binding him.
Or perhaps she released a hungry beast that had been trapped for a long time.
She herself had no idea what would happen next.
The most likely scenario is that they will be completely devoured.
but not now.
Zhou Shenye's lack of aversion calmed Xie Qingyu down. Even though she had initially spoken openly, when Xie Qingyu truly entered into Zhou Shenye's heart and glimpsed a corner that no one else could see, both of them were very quiet.
The intimacy of necks touching like this feels more intimate than actual combat at this moment.
Xie Qingyu stayed overnight at Zhou Shenye's place once again.
But this time things weren't so peaceful.
The two were enjoying a peaceful moment together on the sofa when a sudden ringtone broke the tranquility.
Xie Qingyu's phone was ringing.
It was Xie Anshan calling.
Xie Anshan rarely calls Xie Qingyu, especially at night. He has too many things to do, and as long as Xie Qingyu doesn't cause trouble, he rarely thinks of her.
This phone call is clearly from something Xie Qingqing said to Xie Anshan after she went back.
It's unclear whether Xie Anshan's call was to inquire about the situation or to interrogate someone.
It's definitely not going to be a good thing.
Xie Qingyu immediately hung up, but before she could put the phone down, it rang again.
Xie Qingyu pressed the interrupt button again, this time turning off the ringer as well.
However, the sudden lighting of the phone screen still indicated Xie Anshan's urgency over there.
Calling back after being hung up on is not like Xie Anshan's style. It's probably because his wife and children were standing there, and he insisted on getting through. Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough to demonstrate his status as the head of the family.
Xie Qingyu didn't hang up this time; she simply placed her phone face down on the sofa.
Zhou Shenye quietly held Xie Qingyu, watching her hang up the phone.
Realizing that her last action was somewhat agitated, Zhou Shenye suddenly picked up his phone, looked at Xie Qingyu questioningly, and answered the call after receiving no objection.
Zhou Shenye turned on speakerphone so that Xie Qingyu could also hear Xie Anshan's voice on the other end.
Surprisingly, the two scenarios Xie Qingyu had guessed were not quite the same.
The first thing Xie Anshan asked was whether the engagement date had been set for a week later.
Xie Qingyu was utterly astonished to hear this, as Xie Anshan hadn't acted this way that morning.
Xie Qingyu hesitated for only a moment, and when her gaze fell on Zhou Shenye, she understood the key to the matter.
The reason why a man like Xie Anshan, who has risen from humble beginnings, has been able to get to where he is today is that he is good at seizing every available resource.
The initial purpose of bringing Xie Qingyu back was to allow Xie Qingqing to get in touch with Zhou Shenye. Now that there seems to be no hope with Xie Qingqing, while there has been unexpected progress with Xie Qingyu, Xie Anshan naturally knows what to choose.
This question is also a trap.
In reality, they were still trying to find out about Xie Qingyu and Zhou Shenye's situation.
"Mr. Xie, are you referring to the engagement date between Qingyu and Zhou He?" Zhou Shenye's tone revealed no anger, only the imposing authority of a superior.
Xie Anshan, on the other end of the line, never expected that Zhou Shenye would answer the phone, and subconsciously replied, "Yes."
“Then you can cancel it.” Zhou Shenye said casually. “Since Mr. Xie still wants his daughter to marry Zhou He, why go through all this trouble? Now you’ve messed things up. Trying to have it both ways never ends well.”
Zhou Shenye hung up the phone after he finished speaking, ignoring Xie Anshan's reaction.
Xie Qingyu looked at the phone that had been handed back to her, a helpless yet flippant smile on her face. "How am I supposed to go back like this?"
“Then we won’t go back.” Zhou Shenye patted Xie Qingyu’s hair.
He had previously thought he would only be interested in physical contact with Xie Qingyu, but now he realized that he was interested in her entire body, even a single strand of hair.
After Zhou Shenye finished speaking, he took out his phone and started operating it. Xie Qingyu looked at the black screen and knew, even though she had never seen it before, that it was for transferring money.
"How much money did he give you after you came back? Ten million? Twenty million?" Zhou Shenye stopped and asked Xie Qingyu.
There shouldn't be any more, Zhou Shenye thought.
He also remembered overhearing Xie Qingyu calling Xie Anshan in the mall, asking for money.
"Around five million, what are you doing?" Xie Qingyu finished speaking and looked at Zhou Shenye's subordinates' operations, then reached out and took his phone.
Zhou Shenye's hand was suddenly empty. He looked at the phone that was now in Xie Qingyu's hand, but he didn't move.
“Transfer it to him,” Zhou Shenye said. “He didn’t raise you, and he only brought you back for his own benefit. Don’t use his money, so he won’t take advantage of that to justify himself.”
Zhou Shenye's ability to say such things shows that he completely disregards Xie Anshan and Xie Qingyu's father-daughter relationship.
Of course, Xie Qingyu herself didn't take it seriously.
"I won't forward it." Xie Qingyu immediately took Zhou Shenye's phone away upon hearing this.
Zhou Shenye simply looked at Xie Qingyu with his light-colored eyes, quietly waiting for her to explain why.
“His current wealth all came from my mother. What I’m spending now isn’t even a fraction of what he got.” Xie Qingyu shook her head, feeling perfectly justified in using the money.
Hearing Xie Qingyu say that, Zhou Shenye frowned. "He's quite stingy with you too."
Upon receiving such praise from Zhou Shenye, Xie Qingyu laughed and fell onto him.
"Do you think everyone is as rich as you, not valuing money?" Xie Qingyu boldly reached out to pinch Zhou Shenye's face, but he grabbed her hand and held it to his side.
She's only been back for a little over a month, so it's already quite good that she got this much from Xie Anshan.
“They’re all yours,” Zhou Shenye suddenly said.
Xie Qingyu didn't realize what he meant and thought he was referring to the Xie family's assets. "Yes, we'll take them all back in the future."
I will take it back for the original owner's sake.
"So even if you have money to burn, you can't transfer it to him. That's money I should spend. You might as well transfer it to me instead," Xie Qingyu added.
"Then I'll transfer some more to you." Zhou Shenye looked at the phone still in Xie Qingyu's hand. "Or you can transfer it yourself, here's the password."
