Chapter 134 Who Can Tell?
"They're here."
Su Qiu's voice rang out from above, and Shen Yi's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly looked up, frantically handing over the bouquet of flowers he was holding, his voice slightly trembling:
"For...for you."
Su Qiu naturally accepted it, the scent of champagne roses wafting towards her. She lowered her head to smell it, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile:
"Thanks."
As if encouraged, Shen Yi quickly pulled the share transfer agreement from the file folder and handed it to her:
"And this, a portion of the shares are being transferred to you. Please sign here."
"No need." Su Qiu glanced at the contents of the document and shook her head.
"You don't like it?" Shen Yi immediately pouted, his tone tinged with grievance. "You don't even like the thing I gave you? Humph!"
He grew angrier as he spoke, his eyes even reddening: "You don't even want my shares, you don't care about me at all!"
"I'll keep them for myself, I don't need them," Su Qiu explained helplessly, her assets already far exceeding the value of these shares.
"I don't care, you have to have it!" Shen Yi turned his head, but couldn't help but steal a glance at her out of the corner of his eye, his voice carrying a stubborn and domineering tone.
"You want to open up the inland market, right? These shares can help you do a lot of things, you have to sign."
"Really, no need, I'm doing this now..."
"in spite of!"
Shen Yi suddenly turned around, staring at her with red eyes, like a little beast that had been provoked, clearly about to throw a tantrum.
Su Qiu was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, Xiao Xitian in her mind was already jumping up and down in a panic:
"Host, sign it now! He's going to cry if you don't!"
Su Qiu looked at Shen Yi, who was clearly being arrogant but had red eyes and looked like he was about to shed tears.
In the end, he couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Okay, I'll sign."
Shen Yi's eyes lit up instantly. He stared intently as she picked up the pen and wrote her name at the end. Then she gave a haughty hum, but couldn't help but curl her lips upwards.
Su Qiu put down her pen, reached out and ruffled his hair, her tone indulgent:
"Alright, little kitty, let's go."
"You're the kitten!"
Shen Yi slapped her hand away, but obediently followed behind her, his steps becoming much lighter.
The elevator doors opened with a "ding".
Su Qiu stepped out first, her sharply tailored black suit highlighting her upright shoulders.
Her sleeves were slightly rolled up, revealing an exquisite watch on her wrist, and her red-soled high heels swayed on the marble floor.
Every step he took carried an undeniable aura, a blend of languidness and sharpness that caused the employees in the corridor to subconsciously hold their breath.
Shen Yi followed closely behind, his figure upright, his face expressionless, still maintaining his usual aloof demeanor.
But those seemingly indifferent eyes would always glance in Su Qiu's direction unintentionally.
Look at her hair being blown by the wind, look at her hands tucked into her pockets, look at the rhythm of her high heels clicking on the ground.
Shen Yi's gaze was drawn to him like a magnet, concealing a dependence he himself was unaware of.
Despite being two people with strong personalities, they are surprisingly harmonious when they walk together.
Su Qiu walked confidently ahead, while Shen Yi followed at a comfortable distance.
That aloofness masked a "well-behaved" demeanor, completely different from his usual aloofness.
The passing employees exchanged glances and whispered in amazement:
"My goodness, these two are such a sight for sore eyes! They're practically blinding me!"
"Waaaaah, what a perfect couple! CEO Su's aura is killing me, and Mr. Shen's gaze is so clingy!"
"President Su is so handsome! With that aura, I'd be willing to line up to marry her!"
……
Su Qiu seemed not to hear the surrounding discussions and continued walking.
Shen Yi's ears turned slightly red, and he quickened his pace to get a little closer.
It was as if this would block out those voices saying "I want to marry President Su".
This woman is someone only I can marry—oh no, I mean, someone I can take as my wife!
……
The moment the car door closed, White Wolf had already started the car.
As soon as Shen Yi settled in, he reached out and raised the partition between the front and back rows, blocking the view from the outside.
The carriage fell silent, with only the steady hum of the engine remaining.
Su Qiu turned her head to look at him, her fingertips lightly tapping on her knee:
"Did anything happen today?"
Shen Yi was playing with her fingers when he heard this. He shook his head, his thumb rubbing the calluses on her knuckles, and said in a very soft voice:
"No, it's nothing."
Jiang Xinxin's little tricks are something he can handle himself; there's no need to distract Su Qiu.
Su Qiu nodded and didn't ask any more questions, only saying, "Yes, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Uh-huh."
Shen Yi obediently complied, but his fingers didn't stop.
One moment he would place his palm against the back of her hand to compare their sizes, and the next he would hug her hand completely.
He gently picked up her fingertips again, feeling the thin, warm, rough texture.
Su Qiu's hands are long with distinct knuckles, and calluses from years of gripping things remain on the base of her thumb and the palms of her hands.
It doesn't feel smooth to the touch, but it has a reassuring texture.
Shen Yi twirled her fingers and suddenly remembered how those hands had caressed him last night.
The calluses rubbing against my skin caused a slight itch, and my earlobes instantly turned red.
Then, hooking his finger around Su Qiu's finger, he crossed his legs and turned his head to look out the window.
Shen Yi pretended to be looking at the passing street scene, but his ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
Seeing that Shen Yi suddenly withdrew his hand and stopped fiddling with his fingers, Su Qiu turned her head to look.
They happened to run into Shen Yi's furtive glance.
Her eyes still held a hint of undisguised shyness, like a little animal that had stolen a taste of candy but was afraid of being discovered.
Shen Yi was caught red-handed and turned his head sharply as if he had been burned.
With the back of her head facing Su Qiu, the tips of her bright red ears were fully exposed, and her neck was also flushed with a thin layer of red.
Su Qiu looked him up and down with great interest, noticing his taut back.
And that stiff sitting posture, clearly a deliberate attempt to conceal something, with a knowing smile flashing in his eyes.
She reached out and gently pinched Shen Yi's chin, then with a little force, turned his face towards her.
The skin her fingertips touched was burning hot. Su Qiu raised an eyebrow, her tone slightly teasing:
"Little one, what's on your mind?"
"Wh...what? I wasn't thinking anything..."
With his chin being pinched, Shen Yi's speech became somewhat slurred, and his lips unconsciously pouted.
His eyes darted left and right, avoiding her gaze.
"Yeah?"
Su Qiu deliberately dragged out her words, her gaze sweeping over his ears, which were so red they were almost bleeding, and then glancing at his still crossed legs.
"Then why are your ears red? And, that leg crossing looks pretty natural."
Shen Yi's secret was exposed, and his face turned so red that it seemed like he was about to burst into flames. He struggled to turn his head away, but Su Qiu firmly held his chin.
He was both anxious and embarrassed, his voice even sounding a little breathy: "You...shut up!"
Seeing his flustered and helpless state, Su Qiu couldn't help but chuckle softly, gently stroking his burning chin with her fingertips:
"Oh? I'll shut up. Who can tell me who was playing with my hand and ended up messing with themselves?"
Shen Yi was speechless, his eyes wide open, his cheeks burning red.
