Chapter 130 You Are Very Valuable
Su Qiu lay with Shen Yi for a while longer. Seeing that the sun was about to set outside the window, she propped herself up and got up.
Shen Yi, however, acted like a sleepy kitten, reaching out to wrap his arms around her waist.
He nuzzled his face against her neck, his voice thick with a nasal tone:
"Just...just a little longer~"
Su Qiu lightly patted his bottom through the thin blanket: "I'm hungry."
"Wasn't it just last night..."
Shen Yi looked up at her expectantly, but before he could finish speaking, Su Qiu glared at him, cutting him off.
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow: "...Little thing, what are you thinking about? When I said I was hungry, I meant my stomach was hungry, not anything else."
Shen Yi's cheeks flushed instantly, and he buried his face in the blanket, his voice muffled:
"I'm...I'm sorry."
It's clearly because she's always so unreliable and irresponsible.
Su Qiu chuckled and ruffled his hair: "It's okay, come back after dinner."
"No!" Shen Yi immediately raised his head to retort, his ears still red.
"It's not up to you."
As Su Qiu spoke, she lifted the covers and got up, slowly and methodically putting on her clothes.
"Hmph!" The kitten gave a haughty snort.
Shen Yi propped his head up and looked at her back. Her shoulders and back had sharp lines and well-defined muscles.
It just has some scars of varying depths on it.
Some looked like knife wounds, while others bore the marks of burns, their newly healed skin tinged with a faint pinkish hue.
He secretly counted them, and after confirming that there were no new scars, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt secretly pleased.
It seems she wasn't injured when she went back this time.
He looked at Su Qiu and said confidently, "I want to eat top-grade Wagyu beef and some red wine."
"You certainly know your stuff." Su Qiu turned around, raised her eyebrows, "But I brought you some other good stuff."
"What? There are still some I haven't tried before?" Shen Yi became interested.
"Goldfish, bluefin tuna, and agave 925..." Su Qiu casually rattled off a few names.
Shen Yi's eyes widened slightly: "No..."
These items are either outrageously expensive or extremely rare.
Su Qiu was able to casually mention bringing it back, as if it were just an ordinary item.
He mentally reassessed Su Qiu's identity a few more times.
What kind of person could talk about these treasures as if they were everyday food?
Su Qiu is so rich.
He had previously told Su Qiu that Su Qiu was after his money and power.
It turns out she wasn't after those things; she was telling the truth back then.
She came only for herself.
In comparison, I seem to have nothing to offer that I can really boast about.
These things are very difficult for even me to obtain.
And there's that pink diamond under the pillow.
Shen Yi pursed his lips, a hint of awkwardness in his voice: "With you being so rich, how am I supposed to live?"
Su Qiu was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled: "Live well."
Shen Yi: "..."
He was taken aback by the blunt answer and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"It feels like you're keeping me as a mistress," Shen Yi said, clutching the corner of the blanket, his voice tinged with self-mockery.
"I'm not as rich or as capable as you. I even need your help to open up overseas cooperation opportunities. Isn't that just being kept by you?"
Su Qiu smiled helplessly and reached out to ruffle his hair:
"Who said that? Your collaboration was successful because you have the capability and your proposal was solid, which is why the company agreed. It wasn't through any back channels."
Besides, I need you to act as a go-between to open up the domestic market.
This is called win-win cooperation, understand?
Shen Yi looked up at her, a hint of uncertainty in his eyes:
"Well... if I give you something, won't you think it's too cheap and that I'm looking down on you?"
Su Qiu shook her head, her tone serious: "I only care about the sentiment, not the price."
Besides, didn't you already give me your most valuable gift?
Shen Yi was taken aback: "Huh?"
"You," Su Qiu lightly tapped his forehead with her fingertip, "being my boyfriend, becoming mine, that's the most precious thing."
Shen Yi's eyes lit up instantly, as if they were filled with starlight.
In all my years, apart from my late grandmother, no one has ever solemnly described him as "very precious."
This feeling of being cherished and valued is like warm water gently washing over your heart.
It felt like I'd been gently bumped by something, a sensation that was both sore and burning hot.
He buried his face in the blanket abruptly, his voice muffled, with a barely perceptible sob:
"You damn woman, why are you being so sentimental..."
Su Qiu smiled, not pointing out his embarrassment, but gently touching the exposed top of his hair:
"Alright, you rest a bit more. I'll go check if the mistress has wrecked the house. I'll bring the food in when it's ready."
"Uh-huh."
Shen Yi gave a perfunctory reply and wrapped himself up even tighter.
My nose felt sore, and my eyes felt a little hot.
He didn't want Su Qiu to see him crying like this; it was too embarrassing.
Hearing Su Qiu gently close the door.
Shen Yicai quietly lifted a corner of the blanket, blinked at the ceiling, forced back the dampness, but couldn't help but smile up little by little.
……
After giving instructions to the kitchen staff about the dishes to be prepared for lunch, Su Qiu turned and walked towards the side room.
The mistress was placed in that room. This wolfhound was clever; it could even go to the corner toilet by itself.
They were also exceptionally hygienic; there was hardly any odor in the room.
I just pushed the door open.
A dark shadow pounced over in a flash, its wet tongue licking her hand.
Su Qiu reacted quickly, grabbing the wolfhound by the scruff of its neck and lifting it up:
"You mistress, I've told you not to fawn over people."
The little dog kicked its four paws in the air, making whimpering sounds, its eyes wet as it looked at her, and started to act pitiful again.
This male wolfhound was the smartest she had ever owned. Not only could it read people's expressions, but it was also incredibly good at acting cute and spoiled.
"If you keep acting cute, I'll slaughter you and stew you like dog meat." Su Qiu deliberately put on a stern face.
Upon hearing this, the mistress immediately stopped whining.
The little dog was placed on the ground and sat obediently, not daring to wag its tail anymore.
Su Qiu would raise its paw when told to, and spin around when told to, it was very obedient.
Xiao Xitian thought to himself, "So obedient."
Su Qiu raised an eyebrow and said to it, "Little Western Paradise, spin around."
Little Western Heaven bristled: "Host, please don't insult me! I'm the system!"
"Slap!" Su Qiu mentally slapped it.
Little Xitian immediately burst into tears: "Waaaaah, host, you hit me again..."
"Little Western Paradise, spin around." Su Qiu repeated, her tone leaving no room for doubt.
Little Xitian dared not resist any longer, and spun around in his mind, feeling wronged and pitiful, just like a bullied little thing.
"See, you're obedient too," Su Qiu said calmly.
Xiao Xitian sobbed, "I'm not like a dog! I..."
Su Qiu interrupted it: "You're not even human."
Xiao Xitian's cries instantly rose in volume, filled with grief and indignation at having his innermost thoughts exposed:
"Waaaaah... Host, you've gone too far!"
Su Qiu ignored its crying, patted Xiao San's head, and turned to walk out. "Xiao San, come on, get to know your new owner."
