Chapter 125 Baby, don't let unimportant people affect our mood and life, okay?

When he returned to the living room, Shi Qingman and Qiao Wenbo had already left.

When Qin Shuzhi saw him return, she leaned closer to him and said, "Grandma told us to stay here tonight, and I agreed."

Shi Yuanxing touched her face and said softly, "Okay."

"Then I'll go play in Grandma's room for a while."

Qin Shuzhi winked at him and whispered, "Grandma said that a lot of people came to our house to wish us a Happy New Year a couple of days ago and gave her a lot of interesting treasures. She kept them all and left them for me."

Shi Yuanxing drawled an "Oh," then raised an eyebrow, "So you're staying overnight tonight to find Grandma Tao's treasure?"

Seeing that he was teasing her again, Qin Shuzhi snorted, ignored him, and turned to go to Old Madam Shi's room.

More than an hour later, she returned to her own room from Madam Shi's room carrying several gift boxes.

She was somewhat surprised to see Shi Yuanxing sitting on the sofa.

If they were staying overnight at the mansion, he would usually be discussing work with his father-in-law in the study at this time.

Shi Yuanxing looked up at her and asked, "You're back?"

"Mm." Qin Shuzhi carried the things over and sat down next to him.

Shi Yuanxing looked at the boxes and jars in her arms and asked with a smile, "What did you buy? Let me see."

"They're all jade jewelry and small pendants."

Qin Shuzhi opened the box in her hand and shared it with him.

"Oh, and this pink diamond necklace, it was a New Year's gift from my grandma. I think I can wear it to the party in a couple of days, what do you think?"

She held up a delicate pink diamond necklace to her neck, showing it off to Shi Yuanxing with great interest. But when she looked up, she saw that his eyes were dark and gloomy.

"What's wrong?"

She took off the necklace and studied his expression. "Why do you seem unhappy?"

Shi Yuanxing gazed at her for a moment, then raised his hand to stroke her slender neck, his thumb gently caressing her smooth cheek, and said softly,

"If you don't want to go to the party, you don't have to go. Don't worry about anyone, okay?"

"It's not that I don't want to go."

Qin Shuzhi tilted her head, her bright eyes sparkling, "Anyway, I don't start work until the ninth day of the month, so I'll just go and have some fun."

She doesn't particularly like these kinds of occasions, but she's never stage-frightened.

Moreover, she would be happy to attend such events if they could bring convenience and help to her career.

Shi Yuanxing's eyes darkened slightly, "But Shen Yichen will also be there."

Whether he goes or not is none of our business.

Qin Shuzhi spoke calmly, deliberately using the phrase "we, husband and wife" to distinguish herself from someone who was unrelated to them.

This is to express one's stance.

Shi Yuanxing understood, and his heart trembled slightly, but he still carefully observed her expression, trying to confirm her true emotions.

"You really don't mind?"

He knew she didn't like seeing that person, and he didn't want her to meet him either.

No matter the occasion.

He didn't want her to be upset because of Shen Yichen.

Qin Shuzhi held his hand and smiled, saying, "Didn't you say that I am your wife, and other people and things have nothing to do with me?"

"But……"

Qin Shuzhi suddenly cupped his face, kissed his lips, and then looked at him firmly, saying, "The person I like is you."

Shi Yuanxing's pupils contracted slightly as he stared blankly at the woman who had suddenly confessed her feelings.

"Baby, let's not let unimportant people affect our mood and life, okay?"

A woman's gentle, coaxing "Baby" is enough to make anyone's ears tingle.

This was the first time she had called him that, and Shi Yuanxing's heart was instantly filled with sweetness and joy.

"good."

His eyes suddenly brightened, and he hooked his arm around her neck, leaned in, and kissed her lips.

The next day, the two had lunch with Grandma at the Shi Mansion before leaving.

In the afternoon, Shi Yuanxing went to the company, while Qin Shuzhi made an appointment with Qi Yishan for afternoon tea and brought her the gifts she had bought for her during her trip.

In the coffee shop.

After Qin Shuzhi finished telling her story with Shi Yuanxing, Qi Yishan sighed with emotion:

"I never imagined that you two had such a wonderful connection so long ago?"

Qin Shuzhi said, "I didn't expect that either."

She even foolishly cried and made a scene in front of Mr. Shi, getting jealous of him. Now, thinking back on the stupid things she did at the hotel that day, she feels ashamed.

Fortunately, Mr. Shi never made fun of her about what happened that day.

Qi Yishan looked at her with a smile, "Now you can be sure that he has those kinds of feelings for you, and that it's not just a gentleman's manners and care for his wife, right?"

Qin Shuzhi smiled sweetly, "Yes, we love each other very much now."

Looking at her radiant smile, her eyes brimming with happiness and peace, Qi Yishan couldn't help but think of a saying: loving someone is like nurturing a flower.

It is clear that Shi Yuanxing is a very competent flower grower.

Unlike her blind and scumbag brother, who almost withered such a beautiful flower in his hands.

He had a winning hand, but he played it terribly.

At the same time, within the Shi Group.

Qiao Wenbo is giving an investigation report to Shi Yuanxing.

"This president of Shengrui, Jing Muchi, is the young master of the Jing family in Beijing. He has two older brothers and one older sister. The Jing family has a lot of influence in Beijing, and most of its members are prominent figures in the city, achieving remarkable success in various industries. I heard that his family originally planned for him to pursue a career in government, but he insisted on going into business and later founded Shengrui Company."

"Is that all you found?" Shi Yuanxing, sitting at his desk, looked up at him. "It seems like everyone can find this kind of information."

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Qiao Wenbo's eyes. "Perhaps because of the Jing family's background, this young master Jing's other personal information seems to have been deliberately hidden, making it difficult to find."

After all, the Jing family is a powerful and influential family in Beijing, and it is rumored that this rebellious youngest son of the Jing family is the most favored. If the Jing family wants to protect and hide him, it will be very difficult for outsiders to find out his private information.

"But I heard that Mr. Jing will be attending the party tomorrow night."

Shi Yuanxing paused slightly. "A mere cocktail party, and he personally attends?"

"Yes, the director of Shengrui has been in charge of organizing this party, and they never announced that Mr. Jing would be coming. I only found out this information from an acquaintance."

Qiao Wenbo paused, then added, "Don't worry, this news is absolutely reliable."

"Hmm." Shi Yuanxing nodded thoughtfully.

"From what I understand, the Shen Group has already made ample preparations for tomorrow's banquet, and they're preparing for their departure..."

Qiao Wenbo realized something and quickly changed his tune, "Mr. Xiao, what preparations do you think we need to make on our side?"

"It's just a cocktail party, what do we need to prepare?" Shi Yuanxing chuckled.

"Let's assess the situation at the reception first, and then adjust the plans accordingly."

"But……"

Shi Yuanxing glanced at him. "Isn't it said that this President Jing is someone who doesn't play by the rules? Naturally, we'll have to get to know him first before we know how to deal with him. What do you say, President Qiao?"

Qiao Wenbo swallowed back the words he was about to say and replied, "I'll do whatever you say."

Shi Yuanxing's phone lit up, and he picked it up to see a message from Qin Shuzhi. She said that she had finished afternoon tea with Qi Yishan and asked when he would pick her up.

Shi Yuanxing replied, "I'm coming right away."

"Let's leave it at that for now. Thank you for coming back today. We can discuss anything else later."

Qiao Wenbo nodded, "Okay, then I'll go out first."

After Qiao Wenbo left the office, Shi Yuanxing grabbed his coat, got up, and left the company.
