Chapter 66: Women Need to Be Coaxed

Qian Ling looked at Shi Jingyuan eagerly, "What do you mean?"

Shi Jingyuan sat down on the sofa opposite him. "I asked an acquaintance about the situation. He said that the CEO of Qianhe Company has been hospitalized for the past two days. After he is discharged, the person I asked will go to check on him."

"Okay, I trust your connections."

Qian Ling's uneasy heart calmed down a little.

Secretary Liu brought in two cups of coffee and the two sat and chatted for a while.

Qian Ling talked about the recent gossip in the circle with a playful smile on his face.

"I heard that Shi Yanran has been high-profile in pursuing a handsome doctor these days. Doesn't she always look down on people outside her circle and those poor losers? Why is she changing her tune this time?"

Although Shi Yanran and Shi Jingyuan are siblings, they were brought up differently since childhood.

The Shi family is a top wealthy family with strict family rules. They have always focused on cultivating male heirs, and the girls in the Shi family are raised in wealth.

The idea that Shi Yanran was instilled with since she was a child was that she should have the pride and bearing of a rich girl, and even if she had to pretend, she had to establish a good character.

So although Shi Yanran is the elder sister, her status in the family is far inferior to that of Shi Jingyuan, the quasi-boss.

At home, apart from the old man, Shi Yanran is most afraid of her younger brother.

Shi Jingyuan was busy with work, and as long as she didn't do anything out of line, he rarely cared about her private life.

Hearing this, Shi Jingyuan was not very surprised.

"Maybe he's used to all sorts of delicacies, so he just wants a change of taste."

Qian Ling nodded, "That's true. But people outside the circle don't know the ins and outs of this world after all. There are many men who want to rely on women to get ahead now, so you still have to put in some effort."

The Qian family and the Shi family have been friends for many years, and their children grew up together, so they have some friendship with each other.

Qian Ling just mentioned it in passing, and Shi Jingyuan nodded in response, and he had a clue in his mind.

After talking about other people's affairs, Qian Ling hesitated to speak several times.

Shi Jingyuan glanced at him and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"After Lin You picked you up from the bar that day, did you...get what you wanted?"

Qian Ling smiled with a secretive look on his face. If the person in front of him wasn't Shi Jingyuan, why would he choose his words so carefully?

In his opinion, when a man likes a woman, he definitely wants to get her into bed.

Something that is tacitly understood.

Shi Jingtu raised an eyebrow and said in a cold voice, "Are you free?"

"Oh, I see." This is what it means to fail.

Qian Ling suppressed his smile and winked, "This girl is quite good, very interesting. The harder it is to get, the more delicious it tastes. Come on, Mr. Shi."

Shi Jingyuan: “…”

Qian Ling was also very enthusiastic in giving him advice.

"Women need to be coaxed. The ways to coax people are nothing more than giving money, gifts, and food. As for your girl, I'm thinking of giving her some delicious food."

Shi Jingyuan sat up straighter. "Delicious food? For example?"

Qian Ling immediately took out his cell phone and sent him several addresses.

"From my experience, there's no woman who doesn't like the things in these stores. They're prestigious, well-priced, and taste great. If you don't believe me, try it."

Shi Jingyuan saw a familiar address among these and sneered.

"Isn't this... owned by that little lover you're with now?"

Qian Ling, who was seen through, didn't blush. "Haha, good things should be kept within the family. You coax yours, I coax mine, it's a win-win situation."

Shi Jingyuan sneered, but finally saved the address.

When it was almost time to get off work, the sky was gloomy and it looked like it would rain at any moment.

Lin You borrowed a shared umbrella in the company lobby to be prepared.

Unfortunately, by the time we get back to the apartment, it might rain.

For dinner alone, she kept it simple. She used a small rice cooker to cook a big stew of rice, and added some pickled vegetables to go with it. It was simple and delicious.

She had just mixed the food in the pot when there was a knock on the door.

In Jingang City, there were only three people who knew that she lived in this apartment.

Chen Lingling, landlord, Shen Yi.

Now, there is Shi Jingyuan, who figured out the way the last time he came drunk.

Logically speaking, the person least likely to come to her at this time is Shi Jingyuan.

But for some reason, Lin You always felt that the person outside the door must be him.

Sure enough, when she opened the door, her premonition was immediately confirmed.

Shi Jingyuan casually draped his suit jacket over his elbows, holding a small cake in each hand.

He smiled faintly and raised the cake in his hand, "I just passed by this shop and bought it for you and Hu Baoer."

Lin You glanced at the shop logo on the small cake.

Chen Lingling had been to this shop when she won the lottery. It was the Hermes of the cake world, with ridiculously high prices.

And the address of this store, if she remembered correctly, was completely in the other direction of the company.

"Just passing by?"

Lin You smiled noncommittally, then took the small cake from his hand.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Shi. I accept it."

After saying that, she was about to close the door.

Shi Jingyuan reacted quickly and pressed the door handle, his brows slightly furrowed.

Lin You asked calmly, "Mr. Shi, do you have anything else to do?"

Shi Jingyuan's gaze passed over her and fell on the bibimbap on the table.

"I haven't eaten yet either."

Lin You found it really hard to imagine that someone like Mr. Shi would actually use the calmest and most indifferent tone to speak the most humble words.

She sighed and moved sideways to let him in.

Shi Jingyuan took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on. His movements were very skillful, and Lin You couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

With one more mouth to feed, Lin You went back to the kitchen, got a pair of bowls, and served him a bowl of bibimbap.

Looking at Mr. Shi, who was wearing a high-end white shirt and suit pants, and naturally picked up the bowl and spoon to eat, she forgot to look away for a moment.

Putting aside his identity, his appearance is also at the ceiling level.

In addition, he, who is usually cold and abstinent, now looks like he is eating obediently.

The collision of contradictions and contrasts gives people an irresistible temptation.

Lin You's eyes slid along his slender knuckles to the blue spoon, and finally fell on his warm lips.

A grain of rice stuck to the corner of his mouth...

She swallowed, her fingertips moved slightly, and she had the urge to gently pick the grain of rice.

"Are you full just by looking at me?"

Shi Jingyuan's playful smile brought Lin You back to his wandering thoughts.

She rolled her eyes at him and lowered her head to eat.

Shi Jingyuan said tentatively, "What happened that night... I don't remember anything. If I did anything to upset you, I can apologize."

A real man is one who dares to act and take responsibility. Shi Zong will never be someone who avoids problems.

"It's best to forget it." Lin You said in a calm tone, "Nothing happened that night, so you don't need to apologize."

Shi Jingyuan's eyes darkened and he said nothing.

Not long after, Lin You chatted with him casually and brought up a topic.

"Mr. Shi, if... I mean if, someone calls you a beggar, what would you do?"
