Chapter 107 You Are Mine
"Meow meow meow..."
With a soft, sweet meow, the little orange cat ran towards Su Qiu with light, quick steps, its tail tip curling playfully.
Su Qiu stopped, bent down and scooped it into her arms, gently stroking its furry back with her fingertips.
The little orange cat squinted comfortably, rubbed against her palm, and purred contentedly.
The warmth in my arms dispelled some of the chill of the hospital.
Su Qiu looked down into the kitten's bright eyes, a faint smile curving her lips.
These past few days at the hospital have been a rare period of peace and quiet.
There was no fighting, no intrigue, and even the air was filled with a sense of peace.
But this comfort is only temporary.
She paused, her gaze fixed on the distant horizon.
In another day or two, I'll have to go find Su Qian.
The female protagonist's abilities are inherently illogical.
Now that he's using his abilities to escape, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.
Su Qiu sighed softly, her fingertips tracing the little orange cat's ear:
"If only everything in this world were as simple as petting a cat."
The little orange cat rubbed against her chin, seemingly understanding, and meowed again.
Su Qiu carried the cat back, pondering in her mind:
If Su Qian's abilities get out of control, not only will the plot become chaotic.
It's hard to say whether this world can stay stable.
Shen Yi sought her out for two reasons: first, to break free from the control of the plot; and second, because she really wanted to slap the female lead a few more times.
……
The atmosphere in the top-floor conference room of the Shen Group was so solemn it was almost stagnant.
Shen Yi sat at the head of the long table, twirling a pen between his fingers, his gaze fixed on the quarterly report in front of him, but he didn't read a single word.
The report was being presented below, but the words seemed to be seen through frosted glass.
It entered his ears, then drifted away lightly, leaving no trace.
"...So the current problem is with the materials supply chain. The other party has asked for a 5% price increase, otherwise it may affect the construction period."
After the manager finished his report, he cautiously looked up at Shen Yi, waiting for his decision.
Shen Yi hummed in agreement, his brows furrowing slightly as if he were deep in thought.
But another storm exploded in my mind.
What is that dead woman doing now?
Why haven't you sent me any messages?
Go to sleep?
He asked the doctor, and the dead woman was recovering quickly and should be able to get out of bed soon.
But judging from her appearance, she didn't want to get out of bed at all, saying that her ribs hurt.
Am I just lying to myself again?
……
"Mr. Shen?" The manager couldn't help but call out again when he didn't say anything for a while.
Shen Yi snapped out of his daze and slammed his pen on the table with a "thud".
He looked up, his tone unreadable:
"We can raise the price, but we'll have our legal department draft a supplementary agreement that clearly defines the liability for breach of contract, stipulating that for each day of delay, compensation will be 0.3% of the total price."
"Yes," the manager quickly replied, letting out a sigh of relief.
Shen Yi waved for him to continue, but his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the window.
The hospital is located to the south, and from here you can only see rows of buildings.
Why hasn't she sent a message yet?
Is your wound hurting again?
Are you still in a bad mood?
I should have stayed at the company this morning instead of going to the office.
Thoughts raced through my mind like a revolving lantern, squeezing the sounds of reports and keyboard clicks into a blurry background noise.
soon.
After finishing the morning meeting and buying lunch, Shen Yi couldn't wait to head to the hospital.
Thinking about seeing Su Qiu soon, Shen Yi's lips unconsciously curled up.
……
hospital.
Just as Su Qiu put the little orange kitten on the ground, she heard Xiao Xitian's voice ring in her mind:
"Host, the villain is coming back."
She patted the cat fur off her hands, turned around, and slowly walked back to the ward.
Four or five minutes later.
The door was pushed open.
Shen Yi was carrying an elegant lunchbox. The moment he saw Su Qiu, the weariness on his face vanished, replaced by a genuine smile.
"I'm back. Haven't eaten yet?"
He placed the lunchbox on the bedside table, quickly opened it, and inside were three dishes and a soup, still steaming hot:
"I specially asked the restaurant to prepare something light today, since your wound has just healed and you need to avoid certain foods."
"There's nothing urgent at the company this afternoon," he said while setting the table. "I can keep you company for a long time. Would you like to play chess or watch a movie? I've downloaded a few new movies on my tablet."
Su Qiu glanced at the food and raised an eyebrow, saying, "You're a big boss, always watching over me, what business are you still doing? Don't you need to manage the Shen Group anymore?"
Shen Yi paused in handing her chopsticks, then glanced at her and said, "It's only been a few days. Besides, you're the big boss, and I haven't seen you handling any work or anything."
"Can we be the same?" Su Qiu scoffed. "I have connections, I have money, even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up."
Shen Yi was momentarily speechless, then retorted defiantly, "Isn't Lin Wei human?"
Lin Wei: Mr. Shen, thank you so much.
Su Qiu picked up a piece of food, chewed slowly, and uttered two words:
"Love-obsessed".
Shen Yi's face flushed instantly, and he slammed his chopsticks on the table: "Are you crazy! I'm calling this... this is calling this cherishing the time I spend with my girlfriend!"
"Oh?" Su Qiu looked up at him, a hint of mockery in her eyes. "Then Mr. Shen should cherish this opportunity. Once I'm discharged from the hospital, I won't have so much time to waste with you."
Shen Yi was speechless, so he silently shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth, secretly thinking to himself:
What's wrong with waiting? I'd be happy to wait a lifetime if I could see you every day.
Shen Yi paused in his eating, looked up at Su Qiu, and said with a hint of sadness in his voice:
"After you recover from your injury, are you going to go somewhere else?"
He knew that Su Qiu was hiding a secret, especially since she was a mission participant.
Moreover, she has another identity.
She told him not to ask, and he really didn't ask any more questions, but he couldn't let go of the concern in his heart.
Su Qiu paused in picking up food, then nodded in response:
"Yes, there are still some things to take care of over there."
Shen Yi was silent for a moment, then, as if remembering something, he spoke again:
"By the way, I've found Su Qian's whereabouts. I've arranged for people to keep an eye on her, but I haven't dared to alert her."
Su Qiu raised her eyes, a knowing glint in them: "You don't need to touch her, I'll go find her myself."
Shen Yi frowned sharply, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness: "No."
They all knew the reason perfectly well.
However, neither of them said it out loud.
At this moment, Xiao Xitian's voice suddenly rang in Su Qiu's mind:
"Host, you don't need to worry, the villain's control over the plot has begun to weaken."
His current reactions are more out of his own volition; he won't force himself to do anything out of line because of the plot.
Hearing Xiao Xitian's words, Su Qiu felt a slight sense of relief, then looked up at Shen Yi and softened her tone:
"If anything really happens, just call me. I'll leave White Wolf with you; he can protect you closely."
Shen Yi was stunned, somewhat incredulous: "The White Wolf is for me?"
That was the person Su Qiu trusted most.
"You're one of my people," Su Qiu looked at him, her eyes open and honest. "With White Wolf around, I feel more at ease."
Shen Yi's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something; his previous stubbornness vanished instantly, and he obediently nodded.
"Um."
After he finished speaking, his eyes involuntarily began to subtly scrutinize Su Qiu.
From her calm eyes to her chewing lips, I felt a surge of joy in my heart because of the words "my person".
Like bubbles rising slowly in warm water.
Shen Yi lowered his head, shoveling rice into his mouth, but couldn't help secretly curving his lips upwards.
