24 No feeling

◎No one is indispensable to anyone else.

The low-key gray Bentley had plenty of air conditioning, but it was still very hot.

"Qin Zhen..." As long as there was a little gap, Liang Youwei couldn't help but call the name of the person under her, a little breathless: "No, go slower, I can't keep up."

"Then study hard, I will teach you every day." Qin Zhen chuckled.

He had already taken off his suit jacket and unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt. The man held the girl's head with one hand and firmly grasped the fulcrum between them with the other hand.

Liang Youwei, who was sitting on his lap, had red eyes. She couldn't tell if it was from anger or the kiss. She turned her face away: "No, you are just bullying me and taking advantage of me...Qin Zhen, you have no shame!"

Qin Zhen wanted to laugh when she scolded him.

How come even cursing someone is so insignificant?

"Okay, I'm shameless. But Ms. Liang Youwei, I need to make it clear in advance that I have no intention of bullying you, let alone taking advantage of you."

He patted her back soothingly and slowed down the pace of his kiss.

until.

"...Don't move." Liang Youwei felt something was wrong under her and her body froze.

Qin Zhen paused, a look of dissatisfaction in the corners of his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Hmm?"

Liang Youwei felt embarrassed and afraid, struggling to get up and not sit on his lap. Qin Zhen frowned, restrained her, and held her waist tightly: "Youwei, don't move."

Liang Youwei curled her lips and whispered aggrievedly: "But you got up, I'm scared..."

"Don't rub it, and don't go in. Don't be afraid."

Her body was too stiff, and Qin Zhen was too embarrassed to kiss her again. He could only hug her, put his chin in the crook of her neck, and tried to coax her softly: "This is a normal human reaction, and it can't be controlled. Youwei, please feel sorry for me, okay?"

Liang Youwei's face flushed red as she heard this, her mind full of thoughts. Her hands were still touching Qin Zhen's chest muscles through a thin, sweaty white shirt: "Then, how can I feel sorry for you? I can't help you with that..."

Qin Zhen was stunned.

He meant that Liang Youwei should not be angry about this matter. But Liang Youwei seemed to have misunderstood, and he did not mean to ask her for help.

However, if she wants to help, I don't mind. It's very profitable. But——

"Save it for now, there's no rush." ​​Finally, Qin Zhen just touched Liang Youwei's cheek and said, "Do you want to go shopping this afternoon? Don't you want to eat dessert? Let's buy it while we're at it."

"But today is Friday. Are you going to take the whole day off?" Liang Youwei was slightly distracted. "I thought you only took the morning off."

"It's a whole day, don't worry." Qin Zhen said, "I told you I'll be with you. It would be a real bummer to give up halfway."

Liang Youwei couldn't help but smile, lowering her head and laughing: "Yeah."

Qin Zhen touched her head.

Accompanying Liang Youwei shopping is a skill, but fortunately Qin Zhen is already used to it. He is never stingy with praise when it is necessary, and keeps silent when it is necessary.

However, what Qin Zhen didn't understand was——

"Why don't you swipe my card?" He frowned, lowered his head slightly, and moved his shoulder closer to Liang Youwei.

Liang Youwei took the unlimited credit card her second sister gave her and casually replied, "I'm afraid you'll ask me for money after we break up. That's what people say online. I don't know how to spend money, so I won't be able to pay you back when the time comes."

separate?

Hearing this, the broad-shouldered, narrow-waisted man paused. But the next second, he held the hand of the person next to him and whispered, "We're not breaking up. Liang Youwei, we're not breaking up."

"...It was just an online joke. Others are embarrassed and shameless, but you wouldn't." His voice was a little serious. Liang Youwei subconsciously struggled, not wanting him to touch her. "Why did you take it so seriously?"

"Don't make jokes like this again, Liang Youwei." Qin Zhen didn't let go, still holding her tightly. He met her eyes, his deep gaze piercing into her heart, "Don't mention breaking up."

Qin Zhen's eyes were so deep that they made people feel an inexplicable fear and impatience. Liang Youwei pursed her lips, lowered her head, frowned, and said calmly, "I know. Qin Zhen, why are you so fierce?"

Qin Zhen was silent for a moment, then he slowed down his tone: "I'm sorry, Youwei. Just now... my tone wasn't very nice. I didn't mean it."

Liang Youwei's brows were still furrowed, but she didn't lose her temper when she was out. She just suppressed her anger and said, "Don't do this again in the future."

"Yeah." Qin Zhen also felt a little unhappy. He took a deep breath and suppressed his abnormal desire for control, but he still couldn't help but say the last word: "But, from now on, use my card, okay? Sooner or later, you will leave the Liang family. You can't rely on your elder brother and second sister for everything."

Here it comes again! Why is it never ending?

"Can I use my own card?" Liang Youwei raised her eyes to look at him, her dissatisfaction clearly revealed in her eyes. "My eldest brother and second sister set up a fund for me, and I get money every month. Is it okay for me to use this money?"

"Also, Qin Zhen, are you obsessed with staying away from my elder brother and second sister?" Liang Youwei closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she still felt a tightness in her chest. "Why do you keep emphasizing to me that I will leave them sooner or later? They are my family. Since you are with me, you should treat them well and help them well, right? Sooner or later, we will be a family. Isn't it natural for the Liang and Qin families to have a good relationship?"

Qin Zhen pursed his lips, feeling angry and confused.

Is Liang Ting'an so important? Even if he checked your bills and monitored your privacy, and he's not your biological brother, are you still unwilling to stay away from him?

He stared at Liang Youwei, as if trying to analyze her inner thoughts and obsessions.

Seeing that he didn't answer but just kept staring at her, Liang Youwei became even angrier, and the rising guilt in her heart couldn't be ignored either. She made a decision immediately - to turn around and leave.

"Youwei." Qin Zhen frowned and grabbed her wrist.

Liang Youwei immediately pushed him away, frowned and scolded him: "Don't touch me!"

She left angrily with her arms folded, but unexpectedly ran into Shao Qingxue, Shao Yue's cousin.

Shao Qingxue, who was dressed casually, was visibly stunned when she saw her, but soon she put on a suitable smile: "Sister Xiaowei."

His cold eyes swept across Qin Zhen behind her, and his smile immediately faded a little, becoming forced: "Go shopping with Brother Qin Zhen."

She had good eyesight and her gaze was fixed on Liang Youwei's face, from her eyes to her mouth, and then moving to her earlobes and chin.

Liang Youwei didn't have much talent for reading people's expressions, so she didn't think anything of it. She summoned up the energy to greet her: "Well, what a coincidence, Qingqing, you don't have class today?"

"Yes, Sister Xiaowei." When Shao Qingxue saw her and Qin Zhen appear together, even his smile became stiff, and he could only respond not very enthusiastically.

"You're usually busy with school, and you finally have some free time. How about I treat you to a meal?" Liang Youwei had been close to Shao Qingxue since childhood, so she smiled and invited her, not forgetting to compliment her: "Qingqing looks so good today."

Shao Qingxue responded to her compliment, but still smiled and shook her head: "Sister Xiaowei, too. But I can't eat well, because my classmates are waiting for me to join them." As she spoke, she shook the black screen of her phone.

Liang Youwei didn't think much about it. After all, it was fine, and her close sister wouldn't deliberately lie to her. She felt a little regretful: "Okay, then, Qingqing, get along well with your classmates."

"Of course." Shao Qingxue nodded. She put away her phone, still smiling. "Then, sister, I'll be leaving first. Have fun with Brother Qin Zhen."

"Yeah, bye."

Shao Qingxue didn't want to give Qin Zhen a good look, but he had to consider the surface relationship. He smiled and called out "Brother", then walked away without stopping.

Qin Zhen was still thinking about Liang Youwei, and didn't notice Shao Qingxue's strange expression. He just chased her and coaxed her humbly: "Youwei, don't be angry, okay? I won't mention this matter again in the future..."

Being angry is a long-term battle. Liang Youwei pouted, put her shoulders aside, and acted as if she was ignoring others.

Qin Zhen continued to bow to her: "I was wrong."

…

As soon as he got into the car, Shao Qingxue couldn't help but call Shao Yue. The other party answered a little slowly: "Shao Qingxue? Why did you think of looking for me?"

It still has that magnetic, smiling voice, and it sounds very nice.

"I just ran into Sister Xiaowei." Shao Qingxue confessed directly, "Being with Qin Zhen, my mouth is swollen and my earlobes are red."

"...Qingxue, what you said is meaningless."

The smile froze for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. A hint of sarcasm crossed Shao Yue's mind, and he curled his lips, "Liang Youwei and Qin Zhen are a serious couple. There are some things you don't need to tell me."

"So why are they together?" Shao Qingxue leaned into the back seat and motioned for the driver to drive. "Why aren't you and Sister Xiaowei dating?"

"Why is it me and her who are in love?" Shao Yue sneered, closed the folder, and changed the subject: "You called me today, it's not just about this, right?"

She wouldn't be that boring.

"Indeed, there's something else. Second brother, can you lend me your rumored girlfriend?"

Shao Qingxue switched the page on his phone and said, "She has a good image. I want her to be my spokesperson."

"Who? Be more specific." Shao Yue frowned and opened another folder.

During this period, Shao Yue had two rumored girlfriends at the request of his elder brother.

One of his "girlfriends" was Miss Hong Kong Island, the spokesperson for the Si family's Muhe Hotel; the other was a rising star, a celebrity at Yixing Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Yao family. Both needed some news to build momentum, so Brother Shao simply sent his second brother out as a favor.

"It's Zheng Jiasi, the tall one."

"She should be returning to Hong Kong Island soon, are you sure?" Shao Yue turned to the second sheet and looked at the key numbers. After confirming that they were correct, he signed his name neatly.

"It's basically decided, it's her." Shao Qingxue didn't hesitate, "Brother, is this sister a good person?"

Although she is the illegitimate daughter of the Zheng family in Hong Kong Island and her background is not particularly clean, the Zheng family has had a good reputation for more than 20 years - a good reputation in public is also a good reputation, and it is well-known, so it stands to reason that there will be no big scandals.

"She's very good at knowing when to advance and when to retreat." Shao Yue thought for a moment and replied, "But I haven't spent much time with her, so I'm not very familiar with her."

"Really?" Shao Qingxue didn't quite believe it. "She's pretty, tall, and smart, and you don't feel anything at all?"

Shao Yue: "Really? The capital is full of girls like this. If I fell in love with every one I saw, how many sisters-in-law would you have?"

His heart sank, and Shao Qingxue couldn't hold back his smile: "...Second brother. Do you really need her?"

She was puzzled and bewildered.

"No one is indispensable to anyone." Shao Yue said calmly: "I have never truly liked anyone since I was a child. It's just that you think too much."

"Beautiful and lovely girls always have some privileges, and my privileges are not just for Liang Youwei."

Shao Qingxue was unconvinced and pressed on: "They are not considered family. Sister Xiaowei is the most special one, isn't she?"

She has eyes and can see for herself.

"no."

The person on the other side denied it categorically.

"If you have nothing else, hang up. Let's talk later."

“Second brother…!”

No one answered and the call was disconnected.

On this side, Shao Yue closed the folder and shifted his gaze to the new message on his phone.

Jiang Wanyan: [Mr. Shao, according to the contract, do we have a date tonight? It's scheduled at the Starry Night Hotel.]

It's the new rising star. She's a movie star known for her aura, but now she's transitioning to idol dramas and needs to boost her profile.

Shao Yue pursed his lips, picked up the phone, and replied with one hand: [Yes, I'll send someone to pick you up at seven o'clock.]

"Just sending someone? Mr. Shao, why don't you come in person?"

This time, the person on the other end sent a voice message with a faint and cute smile.

However, the woman in ancient costume did not look relaxed at all. She pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes flashed with unconcealable nervous anticipation.

"Sister Wanyan," she heard someone calling her name, "Xincheng is here to deliver milk tea and snacks to the crew in your name. He said they're all your favorites, so don't forget to grab some for yourself."

Xincheng is one of the brands under the Shao family, and Shao Yue has been in charge of it for three years. Sending things to Xincheng is just...

Jiang Wanyan was stunned, and her face flushed instantly when she realized what was going on. She smiled and replied, "Okay, I understand. Thank you."

At the same time, the man on the other end lowered his eyelids and said calmly: "If I don't have to work overtime, I will go."

Mr. Shao is a little cold, but he seems to be very nice to me.

As Jiang Wanyan took a bite of the silky and soft little cake, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a slight smile.

"Sister Wanyan, you have a really good relationship with Mr. Xincheng Shao." The male actor from the same crew approached with a smile, trying to please him, "I've read a lot of related news recently."

"Hmm?" Jiang Wanyan looked at him with a smile: "What news?"

"Hey, it's just speculation. But looking at the situation today, it seems that some of the theories are really interesting." The actor answered cautiously and ambiguously.

Jiang Wanyan straightened her sleeves and said casually, "Really? Things like this are unpredictable. It's up to the individual whether to believe it or not."

She won't admit anything, but is happy to blur some things out.

After all, Mr. Shao is indeed a very popular person, and she has to give it a try.

Whether it's for this person or for the power behind him, you have to fight for yourself.
