My Life with Narration

Chapter 423 - 417: Relax, She’s Not the One With a Kid

Shen Yi is truly a businessperson, embodying the ugly face of capitalism to the extreme.

This is no different from the workplace version of "Eating Noodles" from before.

A meal paid for with your own man, the landlady’s blood pressure soared hearing that.

Providing the house and car, managing the food, losing money, and yet still being so righteous.

Even if I were to go support a young man outside, the conditions would be enough.

But now, I’m making all the efforts, and when it’s time to enjoy, Shen Yi steps in, making her so angry she could bite through her silver teeth. It’s just too unfair.

Luckily, Shen Yi still has some conscience, eventually helped to pack and take the holiday items, clothes for mother and daughter, and other things into the car.

Standing in front of the Volvo, Shen Yi looked at Wen Nanqing in the driver’s seat and couldn’t help but say, "Sister Qing, is there anything else you need to bring? If not, should I lend you my man for a few days to use at home?"

Hearing that, the landlady glared at her and scoffed, "I don’t even know who it was, after finishing dinner last night, right after washing the dishes, ran off with her own man, fearing I would keep him. In the future, if you can’t be that generous, don’t boast like that.

Next time you open court, you’d better bring your man along too; let’s calculate who’s really the shareholder!"

With that, the landlady stepped on the gas, and the car slowly drove away, to which Shen Yi couldn’t help but smile slyly.

In the past, it was always Wen Nanqing and Tang Nan flaunting their affection, practically force-feeding her dog food. Now it’s finally time for her revenge, and it feels quite good.

Now among the three, it’s actually her, who is the last to get a boyfriend, feeling quite refreshed, which is also why she often teases Wen Nanqing with Su Qing.

Just as she was thinking about it, the landlady’s car backed up again, lowered the window, and stuck her head out to shout, "Just you wait for Tang to make fun of you, he~~tui!"

She originally drove off, but the more she thought about Shen Yi’s expression, the angrier she got, so she came back to spit and deliver a fierce remark, then drove off again.

Shen Yi: ...

At noon, Shen Yi kicked her legs on the couch in the living room, "I don’t care, I don’t care, they’re making fun of me, they’re driving me crazy, driving me crazy!"

Watching his disheveled girlfriend, in a cool pair of shorts and a T-shirt, rolling around, Su Qing was also at a loss for what to do.

"Oh come on, it doesn’t matter, sooner or later she’ll know, plus we’re just dating, not committing a crime, what’s there to be embarrassed about!"

Turns out, after the landlady went home with her daughter, feeling upset, she told Tang Nan, who’s far away in the capital, about Shen Yi being with Su Qing.

For a funny woman, is there any juicier gossip than this? Naturally she sent "congratulations" right away.

She then made fun of Shen Yi over the phone, specifically picking at sore spots.

For instance, she had heard that Shen Yi’s walking posture was off a few days ago, even rested at home for two days, saying she’d send her painkillers.

She also accused Shen Yi of skipping work without reason and planned to team up with the landlady to dock her pay, even accusing her of having office romances, harassing subordinate employees, and of finally becoming a real woman at her age and wanting to celebrate.

Anyway, Shen Yi directly broke down defensively.

"She said I’m robbing the cradle and fooling a kid, shamelessly, you should curse her back for me!" Shen Yi clutched the phone, exasperated.

She was quite sensitive to her age, especially since Su Qing was several years younger, making Tang Nan’s words strike her at her most embarrassing spot.

Because she really was doing that, no matter how you put it, deceiving a kid doesn’t sound good. If some of her friends knew, they’d surely tease her.

"You know, being able to deceive someone is a skill too, right? What’s more embarrassing than robbing the cradle is not being able to even do that. But you’re doing it now!" Su Qing smiled and comforted her.

But in the next moment, he was met with Shen Yi’s sharp gaze, "You also think I’m robbing the cradle?"

"Uh... actually I meant to say, I’m the old cow, you’re the tender grass. I know just how tender you are; let’s not listen to her and not get angry!"

Hearing this, Shen Yi felt a lot better and directly threw herself into his arms, placing her face on his chest and asking softly:

"Am I really tender?"

Su Qing: ...

Since they confirmed their relationship, Shen Yi has shown a more vulnerable side in front of him, unlike before when she was only in dominatrix mode.

Now she directly expresses her unhappiness to him, revealing her vulnerable side to him without reservation.

"You can’t tell yourself if you are?" Su Qing raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Annoying, you bad guy!"

Saying that, Shen Yi lightly punched him in the chest.

"By the way, should we go camping? Did you have the car washed?" Su Qing asked while patting Shen Yi’s back.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yi’s eyes lit up. Right, they have a camper van and can go out for fun. She then wrapped her arms around Su Qing’s neck and looked up, "I did, I did, but are you sure you can drive that thing?"

Su Qing thought about the camper van he saw in the underground garage that day and took a deep breath, "It should be fine, worst case, drive slowly!"

"That’s great! It’s okay, drive slowly, any damage, I’ll take care of it. Don’t worry, we can afford it. Besides, sister Qing’s car is insured, it’s fine!" Shen Yi hooked his neck with excitement.

And with that, she threw the earlier displeasure out the window.

"So when do we leave?" Su Qing asked.

"Where to?"

"Don’t worry, I know a place with mountains, water, and patches of forest. The best part is there’s a clearing, it’s definitely a great place for camping!"

"Really? Can we leave now?"

"Sure, but we’ll need to prepare some food!"

As the two were imagining the fun of camping, the living room door suddenly opened, followed by a sharp scream.

"Ah~~~"

"Brother, sister-in-law, you... you two!"

They turned to find Su He’s standing at the door, eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at the couple nestled on the couch.

Especially Shen Yi, who was straddling him, her arms around his neck, and their posture clearly indicated romantic behavior, which even the closest opposite-sex friends usually wouldn’t do.

Moreover, what shocked Su He’s most was, just a month ago when she left, it seemed her brother and sister-in-law hadn’t developed to this point yet, so how did it seem like they’ve been together for a long time now?

"Ah!!"

Realizing this, Shen Yi let out a scream and did a death roll off him, burying her head behind his back, as a blush quickly spread across her cheeks and soon turned her ears red.

Although she acted boldly and passionately, she could persist even in front of Wen Nanqing, but that’s because the landlady was an acquaintance who gave her advice.

But Su He’s was different, perhaps the future sister-in-law. Being seen by her boyfriend’s family, no matter how strong she was outside, she felt a little embarrassed and even guilty.

A kind of guilty conscience of being caught, like she was fooling the kid and was seen by the kid’s family, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

However, Su He’s response was not as they imagined, coming in to inquire, but quickly picked up her phone: "Hey, Mom, my brother’s achieved something, he’s hooked up sister-in-law!"

"Don’t worry, not the one with the kids, definitely no mistake!"

Su Qing: ...

Shen Yi: ???
