"Are you still afraid of this?"
Shi Zirui teased, bending down and reaching out, pulling off her high heels. Her flesh-colored stockings were etched with the click of a button. She said, "An old woman like me wouldn't be in your sight. After all, the flowers and plants beside you are all young and beautiful girls."
Chen Tinghan glanced at her and said, "You are quite charming. There are so many men chasing you in Wanghai."
"That's all in the past," Shi Zirui said, pursing her lips. "Without the money and power the Wang family gave me, who would care about a middle-aged woman?"
Chen Tinghan shrugged and said, "If I were that age in my previous life, I would definitely pursue you."
"You're so brave! If I had recorded it and reported it to you, you'd have to apologize to the young lady sincerely."
"Okay, stop talking." Chen Tinghan grinned and took a breath. He got a headache when he thought of "apology".
Moreover, a woman of such beauty and grace as Shi Zirui really cannot be teased. Just like You Shenyu, if you tease her once, she will respond with ten more, and you will never win the conversation no matter what.
But he didn't see clearly that Shi Zirui's ears, hidden under her hair, were slightly red. It was obvious that she was not as calm as she looked.
The car drove slowly. The two had known each other for two years and were used to each other's temperament. Even silence was not awkward. Such a relationship was rare. After a while, Shi Zirui broke the silence. She glanced at Chen Tinghan out of the corner of her eye and suddenly said:
"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you properly yet."
"Thank me for what?" Chen Tinghan shrugged, his tone baffling. "Thank me for letting all your efforts over the years go to waste?"
"Gratitude, gratitude, gratitude. You're talking about grudges, and I'm talking about gratitude." Shi Zirui looked ahead and said seriously, "I never thought I'd be able to escape unscathed after doing so much for the Wang family. For this alone, I should be grateful to you."
Not only did you not lose a single hair, you also did not touch the wealth I have accumulated over the years."
"That was part of the deal I made with her," Chen Tinghan said. "You should thank her."
He was trying to evade the question, but Shi Zirui understood: "With your hatred of evil, young master, I'm afraid you wouldn't want to discuss a deal."
Chen Tinghan remained noncommittal: "You came back today just to tell me this?"
"Part of it," Shi Zirui said with a smile, "Your eighteenth birthday is coming up soon, and as a maid, I definitely can't be the last one to attend. So I came back first to pick out a birthday present for you."
"Thank you for your trouble." Chen Tinghan said.
"where."
The two chatted casually as the car began to slow down and stopped in front of a large clothing store.
Seeing the car coming, someone came out to greet it quickly. It was Liu Junlan.
Compared to when I first met her, the madness on her face has completely disappeared. The widow of reporter Lai has finally gotten rid of the haze of the past, her life is back on track, and time that had been frozen for many years has started to flow again.
"Boss Chen, long time no see." Liu Junlan said politely.
"It's been a while since we last met. How's the store doing lately?" Chen Tinghan asked casually after getting out of the car.
Liu Junlan said, "Do you want to see the account?"
"No, I'm not a shareholder." The three of them walked up the stairs together. Chen Tinghan took a look inside. There were quite a few customers. Business was booming in this off-season. He said with satisfaction, "The profits are yours, and the losses are also yours. Seeing that you can make money, I am very satisfied."
"That's all given by you." Liu Junlan smiled and said, "You've done so much for our family. If you don't take this share, I won't be able to run this store with peace of mind."
"Don't say that. Sister Liu, you know I have always respected reporter Lai." Chen Tinghan said.
Liu Junlan said calmly, "I'm not my dead husband. What you think of him is none of my business. I only know what you've brought to our family."
Chen Tinghan scratched his head, then said to Shi Zirui, who was smiling, "If you really want to thank me, then give me some clothes."
"Of course there are." Liu Junlan opened a door for him, and behind it was an equally spacious room. All kinds of clothes were neatly hung on hangers, from casual wear to formal suits, from trousers to ties.
"Pick whatever you want. Call me if you need anything."
"good."
Liu Junlan went back to the shop to work, leaving only the two of them in the room. Chen Tinghan strolled through the mountain of clothes, dazzled by the sight. He shook his head and said, "Did you prepare all this?"
"That's right, Sister Liu also has good intentions." Shi Zirui said.
"These are all famous brands, big brands," Chen Tinghan said. "I don't understand trends, but these brands are well-known. How could a clothing store afford such a grand display?"
"It was Sister Liu who came up with the idea. I just helped a little." Shi Zirui said softly, "This is also what the eldest lady meant. When we were not around, you became less and less careful about your clothes and appearance.
After all, he is the man who is in charge of the Wang family, so he should take good care of himself on a daily basis."
"Then you choose for me." Chen Tinghan covered his forehead, unable to stop feeling dazzled.
"My pleasure." Shi Zirui walked in front of the clothes rack. The only sound in the quiet room was the sound of her high heels. Combined with her tall, swan-like back, she caught everyone's attention.
The smooth skin on her back was milky white and delicious, not at all like that of an older woman.
Then she picked out a set of clothes and hung it on her arm, and her arm in turn lifted up the magnificent peaks on her chest, causing Chen Tinghan to look away.
Don’t look at what is indecent. Don’t look at what is indecent.
"You change into this set first."
"First?"
"Who would only try on one set of clothes?" Shi Zirui caught his reaction, covered her mouth with her hands and laughed, and said, "You need to order a formal suit for the ball, at least three sets of daily clothes, and matching shoes, socks, ties, and jewelry. You can choose."
"......" Chen Tinghan was already thinking of an excuse to escape.
He took the clothes and went into the locker room, coming out after a while, causing Shi Zirui to pause slightly.
She was teasing Chen Tinghan, wanting to give the young master a hard time. But when he finally changed into a formal suit and walked out of the dressing room, her cheeks suddenly felt hot. It was truly extraordinary. She shook her head slightly, picked up a pair of matching shoes and socks, and placed them in front of him.
After finishing the whole set, he looks even more like a human being.
"Sometimes I don't know what to say. The habits of you noble daughters are so extravagant." Chen Tinghan was helpless.
"There are even more luxurious things." Shi Zirui covered her mouth and laughed. "Let me test you. You are still missing something. Guess what it is?"
"How would I know?" Chen Tinghan rolled his eyes.
Shi Zirui took out a box from her handbag and slowly opened it. Inside was a watch lying quietly.
She took out the expensive watch, wrapped her fingers around his wrist, and whispered, "Happy birthday, Master."
