Chapter 110 I Have Money and Power
Su Qiu carried Shen Yi back to the ward, gently placed him on the bed, and casually tidied the stray hairs on his forehead:
"I'll have someone bring some clean clothes over. You can rest for now."
Shen Yi nodded, pulled the blanket up a bit, and then, as if suddenly remembering something, looked up at her and said, "I'm hungry."
Su Qiu pulled the blanket over him and gently tapped his nose with her fingertip: "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat steak," Shen Yi said matter-of-factly, with a hint of coquetry.
"Okay." Su Qiu responded, turned around and walked to the window, took out her phone and sent a message to Bai Lang to make arrangements.
Shen Yi lay down wrapped in the blanket, watching her back. Her cheeks, still flushed from the hot water, hadn't completely faded. His voice was lower:
"When are you leaving now that you're healed?"
After sending the message, Su Qiu walked back to the bedside and sat down, her fingertips unconsciously tracing the pattern on the bed sheet: "Leaving tomorrow."
Shen Yi was visibly taken aback, the light in his eyes dimming instantly, tinged with a barely perceptible hint of grievance:
"So early? Where are you going?"
"I can't tell you." Su Qiu's tone was calm, with her usual air of mystery.
Shen Yi pursed his lips, not pressing for details about the location, but instead asked in a low voice, "Is it dangerous?"
"It's not dangerous, just handling some work matters." Su Qiu looked at his drooping lips and felt a slight stirring in her heart.
"oh."
Shen Yi responded and buried his face in the blanket, clearly feeling uncomfortable, his shoulders slumped.
At this moment, Xiao Xitian's voice rang in Su Qiu's mind:
"Host, look at how pitiful the villain looks. Quickly comfort him, he's your man."
Ignoring the urging in her mind, Su Qiu reached out and ruffled Shen Yi's hair, softening her tone:
"Don't worry, everything will be fine. I'll message you and call you."
Shen Yi suddenly raised his head, his eyes instantly lighting up like sparks ignited:
"Then you have to keep your word! You must message me every morning at eight o'clock and call me before going to bed at night. That's not an unreasonable request, is it?"
Seeing how afraid he was of changing his mind, Su Qiu smiled helplessly and nodded.
"Not excessive."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Shen Yi immediately beamed, moved closer to her, and grabbed the hem of her clothes: "Pinky promise."
Su Qiu was amused by his childish behavior and hooked her little finger with his: "Pinky promise."
The moment their fingertips touched, Shen Yi's smile widened even further.
The grievances I felt earlier had long since vanished, leaving only a heart full of anticipation.
Su Qiu's eyes sparkled with amusement as she scoffed, "Childish."
Shen Yi immediately raised an eyebrow, unconvinced, and retorted, "You're childish enough to make a pinky promise?"
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow, her tone quite frank: "I said you were childish, but I didn't say I was childish myself."
Shen Yi was speechless for a long time after hearing this, and opened his mouth.
In the end, he could only glare at her angrily, but his cheeks quietly turned red.
How can this person always make such fallacies sound so righteous?!
Not long after, there was a knock on the ward door, and White Wolf walked in carrying two food boxes, politely calling out:
"Boss."
"Just leave it there." Su Qiu raised her chin. "Get ready. We'll go to the villa after dinner. I'm going back tomorrow."
"Yes, boss." White Wolf replied, his gaze quickly sweeping over Shen Yi on the bed.
Seeing that he was wrapped in a quilt and his face was slightly flushed, she didn't linger and turned to quietly slip away.
Su Qiu took the food box to the table next to her and opened it. Inside were two perfectly cooked steaks.
It also comes with vegetables and pasta.
She looked at Shen Yi: "Eat in bed?"
"On the table." Shen Yi slowly propped himself up and sat up, his movements still a little clumsy.
Su Qiu casually grabbed a cushion from the side and placed it behind him: "Sit more comfortably."
Shen Yi leaned back against the pillow and snorted, "At least you have a conscience."
Su Qiu ignored him, picked up her knife and fork, and started eating her own portion.
Shen Yi stared at her for a few seconds, then pushed his plate towards her.
"You cut it for me."
"I won't cut it, I have my own hands." Su Qiu didn't even look up, keeping her head down as she cut the steak.
"You have to cut it, since I let you stay in there for one night."
Shen Yi looked at her, his tone tinged with a cautious probing, his eyes darting back and forth, afraid that she might actually be unhappy.
Suddenly, the image of Little Western Paradise popped into his mind: "Stay for one night~ Host, you were quite...beastly last night too."
Su Qiu ignored it, reached out and pulled Shen Yi's plate over, picked up a knife and fork and quickly started cutting, the blade making a crisp sound as it touched the porcelain plate.
Shen Yi immediately adopted a slightly arrogant expression and raised his chin:
"Cut it smaller for me."
"So much trouble." Su Qiu complained, but her hands moved a little slower as she cut the steak into even small pieces.
Shen Yi watched her intently cutting the steak with her head down, a slight smile playing on his lips, unperturbed by her complaints.
Anyway, she still listened to her own advice.
When Su Qiu pushed the plate of cut pieces back, he picked up his fork, forked a piece, put it in his mouth, and squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
The man's eyes sparkled with laughter, adding a touch of sweetness to the air.
The food was quickly finished.
White Wolf's message arrived at the opportune moment: "Boss, the car is ready downstairs."
Su Qiu stood up, straightened her clothes, and walked out first.
After changing his clothes, Shen Yi followed closely behind.
When they arrived downstairs, the black sedan came to a smooth stop beside the steps, and the driver respectfully opened the car door.
Once inside the car, Su Qiu turned to look at Shen Yi and said calmly, "I'm going home. Where are you going?"
Shen Yi replied without hesitation, "I'll go home with you."
Anyway, she's leaving tomorrow, so we should stay as long as possible, since we don't have much time left to spend together.
Su Qiu didn't object further, only replying, "Okay."
The driver started smoothly, and the vehicle slowly drove away.
Shen Yi leaned back in his chair, watching the street scene flash by outside the window, and gradually felt that something was wrong.
This road does not lead to the apartment where Su Qiu usually lives.
He frowned and looked at Su Qiu: "Aren't we going home? This isn't the right way."
"It's home," Su Qiu said calmly, gazing out the window, "to another small villa."
Shen Yi nodded knowingly, and quietly adjusted his posture, moving closer to her.
"Did you just buy this?" Shen Yi asked, wondering if it smelled like Su Qiu.
"Hmm." Su Qiu said lazily, "I bought it not long ago, I haven't lived in it yet."
"As long as there's a place to stay, that's fine."
"I originally bought you to imprison you."
Shen Yi was stunned, incredulous. "What...did you say?"
This damned woman not only took advantage of me, but also wants to imprison me?
They're incredibly arrogant.
Su Qiu looked at Shen Yi, a smile playing on her lips, "But we don't need to now."
Shen Yi curled his lip, but was secretly pleased. "If you dare to imprison me, I'll fight you to the death."
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow. "Why should I? Besides fighting me with bayonets, what else can you fight me with?"
Shen Yi choked, "So what if you're so great? I'm not bad either, I have money and power!"
