Extra (18) Shang Si Ao

The medicine box slid off Qiu Manman's legs, and the contents spilled onto the foot pad.

The cotton swab in Qiu Manman's hand also fell. Her hands hung in the air helplessly, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

My heart was beating violently and I felt like I was suffocating.

"breathe."

Shang Siao reminded her hoarsely beside her lips.

The two were very close, their breath entangled with each other.

Qiu Manman felt that she was about to die and her body was no longer hers.

Shang Siao's hand moved down and landed on her waist. He lifted her up and Qiu Manman sat on his lap.

Qiu Manman's face turned red with shame and she struggled to get off.

"Don't move."

"Mr. Shang, please don't be like this..."

Shang Siao placed his hand on the back of her head and pressed her towards him.

The driver didn't dare look into the car and stood outside dutifully.

He didn't let go of Qiu Manman until Shang Siao's phone rang.

Qiu Manman quickly shrank to sit by the car door.

Shang Siao glanced at her, curled the corners of his mouth, and then picked up the phone.

Jiang Tao asked anxiously, "Mr. Shang, where are you going? Everyone is waiting for you."

Shang Siao: "You deal with it first, I'll be there in a minute."

Hang up the phone.

Shang Si'ao turned around and said, "Let the driver take you home."

Qiu Manman whispered, "I can go back by myself."

Shang Si'ao: "Then wait for me in the car. I'll take you home after this."

Qiu Manman: “…”

"Then let the driver take me."

Shang Siao looked at her deeply, opened the door and got out of the car.

Qiu Manman picked up the things on the foot pad and put them into the medicine box, then put the medicine box back.

The driver got in the car and gave her a meaningful look.

Qiu Manman kept her head down the whole time.

The driver drove her home.

Qiu Manman returned home, took a shower, and lay on the bed, still feeling dizzy.

It was because of drinking, and also because of Shang Si'ao.

…

The next day, when Qiu Manman arrived at the company, a colleague pulled her aside to gossip.

"Qiu Manman, did you know that Zhao Qiang was beaten?"

Qiu Manman said calmly, "What's going on?"

"Last night, everyone noticed Zhao Qiang was missing, so they went looking for him and found him in the men's restroom."

"He had a wad of paper stuffed in his mouth and was beaten so badly that his face was bruised and swollen. He fainted in the toilet. Later, someone called emergency services and took him to the hospital. They said he had several broken ribs, a broken nose, and several lost teeth. It was a terrible state."

Qiu Manman was stunned for a moment.

She didn't expect Shang Siao to be so cruel.

The colleague continued to whisper to her, "Who did Zhao Qiang offend? He was beaten so badly."

Qiu Manman shook her head: "He must have done something bad. He doesn't look like a good person."

"You're right. Zhao Qiang looks so creepy, especially when he looks at the female colleagues in the company. I'm too lazy to talk to him."

"It's good that he was beaten. The company should fire him. I don't want to work with such a person."

"By the way, Qiu Manman, why did you come home so early last night?"

"I feel dizzy, so I'll go back first."

She sent a message to her boss when she returned home last night.

The leader was unhappy, but didn't say much.

…

After much deliberation, Qiu Manman resigned.

Zhao Qiang is a member of the management team of this small company, and the boss probably won't fire him.

She didn't want to see Zhao Qiang.

Just quit.

When she walked out of the company carrying the box, she saw the familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The driver got out and walked over: "Ms. Qiu, Mr. Shang is waiting for you in the car."

Qiu Manman hesitated for a moment and then walked over.

The driver opened the back door and Qiu Manman saw the man sitting in the back seat at a glance.

Reserved, ascetic, cold and distant.

He was completely different from last night when he held her face and kissed her until she almost suffocated.

Shang Si'ao turned to look at her: "What are you standing there for? Come in."

Qiu Manman bent down and sat in.

The driver closed the car door, went around to the driving seat and drove.

"Resigned?"

"Um."

"What are you planning?"

"Take a break first."

"Alright."

After a brief question and answer, the carriage fell into an unusual silence.

After a long while, Qiu Manman spoke up: "Mr. Shang, thank you for that night. Did you get into trouble?"

After all, the beating happened in a hotel and there were surveillance cameras everywhere, so Qiu Manman was a little worried.

Shang Siao smiled and said, "Who dares to cause trouble to me?"

Qiu Manman thought so too.

Shang Siao has immense power, what can't he handle?

She worried for nothing.

"Boss Shang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

She didn't dare to think too much about the kiss between them that night, nor did she expect Shang Si'ao to give her an explanation.

Just like after they fell asleep, Shang Siao threw her a box of medicine without mentioning a word about them sleeping together.

She would only make herself uncomfortable if she thought too much.

Shang Si'ao turned his head to look at her: "Take you home."

Qiu Manman thought he meant to send her home.

But she didn't expect Shang Siao to take her back to Shangjia.

The business is located on a large estate halfway up a mountain.

The car stopped.

Before Qiu Manman could react, Shang Siao pulled her into a villa.

Xue Ying saw her and called out in surprise, "Manman?"

Xue Ying was a little overwhelmed.

He looked down at his eldest son holding Qiu Manman's hand.

He asked in disbelief: "What are you doing..."

Qiu Manman wanted to pull her hand away, but Shang Siao held it tightly.

She whispered, "Let go."

Shang Siao let her go.

Qiu Manman hurriedly explained: "Auntie, don't misunderstand, it's not what you think."

Qiu Manman didn't know what Shang Siao meant.

But if he appeared in front of Aunt Xue holding her hand, Aunt Xue would definitely misunderstand.

Xue Ying's eyes brightened and then dimmed.

I thought my son had come to his senses and was getting along well with Qiu Manman.

Happy for nothing.

Shang Wuyan came down from upstairs and saw Shang Siao and Qiu Manman who suddenly appeared, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Shang Siao said, "Mom and Dad, it's great that you're all here. I'll bring Qiu Manman back to see you. From now on, she's my girlfriend."

Shang Wuyan and Xue Ying: "..."

Qiu Manman: “…”

Qiu Manman looked at Shang Siao in disbelief.

Xue Ying was overjoyed.

"Great! Manman, come and sit down."

Xue Ying pulled Qiu Manman to sit on the sofa.

"Manman, you don't know, I've long wanted you to be my daughter-in-law, but Si Ao's stubborn temper is driving me crazy."

"Fortunately, you have succeeded now. I am so happy."

"By the way, when did you two get together? Why didn't you tell us?"

Qiu Manman: “…”

She didn't know when she started dating Shang Siao.

I was suddenly dragged here to meet my parents.

Later, Xue Ying talked to her a lot, but she didn't listen because her mind was really confused.

Shang Wuyan was also happy that his eldest son had a girlfriend.

This way his wife doesn't have to worry about him all the time.

Last time affected their Valentine's Day. They were planning to go to the movies later, but Xue Ying was not in the mood, so they went home.

Xue Ying wanted to keep Qiu Manman at the manor for dinner, but Shang Siao refused and quickly left the manor with Qiu Manman.
