Chapter 121 My Little Darling
Shen Yi gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white.
It's not that he's unwilling, it's just... they're dating.
Those intimate gestures are natural occurrences when feelings run deep.
Instead of topics that are always brought up in every conversation.
That subtle, ambiguous tug-of-war can indeed bring hearts closer, but constantly bringing it up makes it seem like it's lost its original meaning.
I feel like they're just casual sex partners.
Su Qiu's voice, tinged with laughter, came through the receiver: "Want some?"
"No...no." Shen Yi's voice weakened, and even he himself felt he lacked confidence.
Su Qiu chuckled softly, her tone softening: "Then let's save them up until I get back."
Shen Yi nodded subconsciously, and was about to say "okay" when his mind suddenly went blank.
Save them up?
If he waits another week, Su Qiu's murderous aura when she returns will likely devour him whole.
That would be terrible!
He was about to retort when Su Qiu's voice came through the receiver:
"Okay, my hair's dry. I have to go now, I'm hanging up."
"Okay, goodnight."
Shen Yi swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue, his tone carrying a hint of grievance that he himself was unaware of.
"Good night."
The busy tone of the call ending came through, and Shen Yi stared at the screen for a long time before belatedly realizing that his ears had turned red.
Without even thinking, he knew how miserable he would be a week later.
"You damned woman!"
Shen Yi cursed angrily, then started drying his hair, and went to sleep as soon as he finished.
After all, he has something important to do tomorrow morning—he's going to make an official announcement!
Shen Yi tossed and turned in bed, crumpling the pillow into a mess.
The curtains weren't fully drawn, and a small patch of moonlight shone in, illuminating the conflicted look in his eyes.
How should I write the official announcement text for tomorrow?
You can't be too deliberate, but you have to clearly tell everyone "we're together".
They also had to keep a secret a sweetness that only the two of them understood.
He simply threw off the covers and sat up, hugging his laptop and huddled at the head of the bed, the screen light reflecting off his face.
My fingertips tapped and deleted on the keyboard, then tapped again.
Official announcement: It's mine.
Too fierce, unlike him.
"I'll buy two cups of milk tea from now on."
It's too obscure; what if someone doesn't understand it?
"I met someone I wanted to waste time with."
Hmm... it seems a little sour.
He bit his lip, then suddenly realized that he was a business CEO and needed to be minimalist and domineering.
"From now on, I will wholeheartedly engage in the game and take charge of the new situation. @烧火棍苏秋"
After finishing writing, I blushed and grinned at the screen for a long time. That's pretty cool.
Then I carefully clicked save.
The moonlight outside the window shifted slightly, landing on his hair, as if trying to hide his barely concealed joy.
……
The next morning, the rising sun had just begun to rise above the city skyline.
A single message, like a spark thrown into boiling oil, instantly caused an uproar online.
Shen Yi's account updated with a post that was concise yet powerful:
"From now on, I will personally enter the game and take charge of the new situation. @Shaohuogun Suqiu"
Almost simultaneously, the account "Shaohuogun Suqiu," which was tagged, replied instantly, its tone carrying a unique blend of intimacy and certainty:
"My little darling, I love her so much. @Shen Yi"
The two dynamic images, like boulders thrown into a lake, instantly create ripples.
The comment section was refreshing at a visible speed, and the discussion was so loud it almost overturned the screen.
"Holy crap? This is... an official announcement?!"
"Is that even a question? It's obvious! Mr. Shen and Miss Su are together!"
Honestly, they're a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven!
"No, can anyone tell me when this happened?"
Had they crossed paths before? How come I haven't heard a thing about it?
"There were signs all along! At that business banquet before, didn't Su Qiu specifically ask to see Shen Yi?"
Shen Yi followed without saying a word at the time. Now that I think about it, that wasn't a negotiation, it was clearly a date!
"Moreover, both companies have collaborations."
"Oh right! I remember that banquet! Back then, some people said that President Shen was a simp and that Su Qiu 'snatched' him away, but now it seems like that was all nonsense!"
"The person upstairs is right! President Shen isn't a simp at all. He was tricked by Su Qian and her gang, and now they can finally be together openly!"
"Speaking of Su Qian, has she been caught? Wasn't she said to be one of the masterminds behind it all?"
"I heard from insiders that she seems to have escaped overseas, but Su Qiu and Shen Yi definitely won't let her go..."
"No matter what, are the Shen family and the Su family going to join forces?"
With these two joining forces, I doubt anyone will dare lay a finger on them anymore.
"This is too powerful, this is definitely a dual-A configuration!"
A business tycoon and a powerful figure—this combination is absolutely insane!
"Waaaaah, Sister Su Qiu is so cool and stylish! It's a shame she's not a lesbian, otherwise I'd be the first to sign up and pursue her!"
"Wake up, Su Qiu is now with President Shen. Didn't you see she calls him 'Little Darling'? The doting affection is practically overflowing the screen!"
……
The online discussion is still brewing, with various analysis posts and timeline compilations emerging one after another.
Meanwhile, Shen Yi was nestled on the sofa, looking at Su Qiu's words "My little darling" on his phone screen.
His fingertips traced those words over and over again, and he couldn't hide the smile on his lips.
……
Black Wolf's finger, which was swiping on his phone, suddenly stopped. The interaction between Shen Yi and Su Qiu on the screen made his pupils shrink slightly.
He stared at the two posts for three seconds, his surprise like a pebble thrown into a deep pool, creating ripples.
He then pressed it down again without making a sound.
Yes, I should have thought of that sooner.
He recalled that during the recent breaks between missions, his boss always managed to accurately spot that man's figure.
The two maintained close contact.
Black Wolf tapped his fingertips on the screen and quickly took a screenshot.
Open a group chat named "Shadow Guard".
The group had exactly ten members, all of whom were Su Qiu's most core subordinates.
The last group chat message.
Black Lion then showed a picture of the boss stewing golden shad for him.
He said it was given to him by the boss.
The others in the group were incredibly envious.
Without a doubt, the silly black lion got ganged up on.
The most lively gray shadow was the first to protest, "Why should I? I want some too! I'm going to find the boss!"
Silver Fox: "Wait, is it that intense? Aren't you afraid the boss will give you a good spanking?"
After waiting for a while, Gray Shadow returned. "Hehehe, I'm back. The boss said that everyone should have one, and he'll have someone deliver it."
White Fox: "The boss just asked me to arrange for someone to deliver it."
Silver Snake: "You've got guts, kid."
Silver Fox: "I take back what I just said, you really are damn fierce."
……
Black Wolf didn't add any extra text; he simply sent in the screenshot.
The group chat was silent for a few seconds, then message notifications started ringing out one after another.
White Wolf: "???"
Gray Shadow: "???"
phantom:"???"
arctic fox:"???"
Silver Snake: "???"
A series of question marks.
