Su Niannian, confused, said coquettishly, "If you don't thank me like this, how else should I thank you?"
She's not as rich as him, so he definitely wouldn't like the gifts she buys.
Moreover, handing someone a cup of water is just a simple favor, so to make a big fuss about thanking him seems a bit pretentious.
Seeing that Su Niannian was clueless, Si Lijue had no choice but to point her in the right direction.
He moved his lips a few times, then parted them slightly and said, "I want you to kiss me." His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible anticipation and shyness.
He took the opportunity to slowly bring his handsome and dashing face closer to Su Niannian.
At the same time, he extended his right index finger and gently tapped the right side of his cheek, as if indicating the exact spot where the other person should kiss.
At that moment, he looked just like an innocent child, eagerly waiting for an adult to give him candy.
Su Niannian looked at the man in front of her. He was completely different from the man she usually was, who was as aloof as an iceberg, as majestic as a lion, and as arrogant as an emperor. It was like two completely different people!
She couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and a touch of tenderness also arose in her heart.
She glanced around at the people, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said shyly, "Ah! You... how old are you? Why are you still acting like a child, wanting kisses? Aren't you ashamed in front of so many people?"
Although she said that, she thought that if he insisted, she might be willing to swallow her pride and kiss him.
Si Lijue's deep eyes were fixed on Su Niannian, and she was the only one in his heart and mind.
He's always been a maverick and doesn't care what others think.
Hearing people around him say this, he argued: "What's so shameful about asking my beloved wife for a kiss?"
Besides, your kiss was just a way of showing everyone the deep and passionate love between us.
Others who see this will likely only feel envy, jealousy, and resentment; how could they possibly see anything wrong with it?
His voice was deep and magnetic, with an undeniable forcefulness.
At this point, he leaned forward slightly and continued, "My dear wife, would you like to give me a kiss? I've been waiting here for ages!"
As Su Niannian watched that incredibly handsome face get closer and closer, his warm breath brushed against her face like a feather, making her heart pound even harder.
A little embarrassed, she asked in a barely audible voice, "Do we really have to kiss here? Can't we kiss when we get home?"
She held onto a sliver of hope and tried again to persuade the man in front of her to stop.
Si Lijue looked at her already beautiful face, now as red as a ripe apple, so cute that he wanted to take a bite.
For some reason, he felt a strange impulse, a reluctance to let her go, and an unwillingness to let her go.
So he said firmly, "No, there's no room for negotiation. I want you to kiss me now."
"..."
Su Niannian felt that the man in front of her had become very childish, and his stubbornness was also cute, like a naive young man.
Since he, as a domineering CEO, doesn't mind losing face in public, why should she, a mediocre person, be so pretentious?
It's just a kiss, it won't hurt you, so let's finish it quickly.
After figuring it out, Su Niannian accurately kissed the spot he pointed to.
I thought this fleeting kiss would end there. But to my surprise, the man in front of me seemed unsatisfied.
He suddenly pulled Su Niannian into his arms and, in front of all the staff and customers, buried his handsome face in her and kissed the woman beside him.
The kiss came so suddenly that Su Niannian was completely stunned and her mind went blank.
Si Lijue's handsome face was pressed close to hers, his cool lips pressed against hers before he quickly released her.
Before Su Niannian could react, Si Lijue's large hand intertwined with her small hand, pulling her closer to him, eagerly awaiting the manager to bring over the store's prized possession.
"Wow..." The people in the store were instantly in an uproar and began to whisper among themselves.
"Hey! Is that tall, handsome man sitting on the sofa Mr. Si from the Si Group? He looks so familiar."
"Of course it's President Si. I often see him on the financial channel. He's a business tycoon with exceptional wisdom, and he's invincible in the business world."
"And who is that beautiful woman sitting next to him? She looks a bit unfamiliar."
"It must be his wife. I just heard him say that he was going to choose a gift for his wife."
As for not being familiar with Mrs. Si, there's probably some unspeakable reason why he deliberately concealed the truth from her.
"That's true. Many daughters of prominent families and socialites are eyeing Mrs. Si's position. Whoever sits on Mrs. Si's throne will probably have to keep a low profile, otherwise, they will really become public enemies and be hated by everyone."
"Yes, I've heard that the rich are very clever at taking revenge; killing someone is as easy as stepping on an ant."
"My God! Mr. Si actually kissed his wife in public. It's clear how much he likes this woman."
"That's right! Big bosses like President Si are usually extremely busy with countless affairs every day."
He actually put aside his work to accompany the woman in front of him shopping for a gift!
I thought they were getting married because of pregnancy, or it was a business arrangement with no real feelings between them, but I never imagined it was true love.
"That's right! Mr. Si dotes on Mrs. Si so much. I wonder how long they've been together. No wonder Mr. Si hasn't had a single rumored girlfriend all these years. It turns out he's afraid of hurting Mrs. Si."
"I've heard some unrealistic rumors before, saying that President Si likes men and is not interested in women. It turns out that all of that is false."
"Rumors are indeed unreliable!"
...
The people in the shop were chatting away, having a great time.
Although their voices were soft, they could still be faintly heard by Su Niannian.
Su Niannian felt both helpless and amused when she heard everyone's comments.
It truly proves the widely circulated saying: "Wherever there are women, there will inevitably be all sorts of gossip!"
Si Lijue was unaware that his impulsive kiss with Su Niannian had dispelled the rumors that he was aloof from women.
If we're talking about the rumors that circulated widely in high society before, it was about the fact that Si Lijue already had a wife.
Moreover, it is said that this Mr. Si treats his wife with utmost care and consideration, and that Mrs. Si is the only one in his heart and eyes.
The two have an extremely close and inseparable relationship, making them a model of a loving couple.
However, from this day forward, this rumor is no longer confined to high society circles.
