Suanyuan Coffee Shop.
After Mu Qing and his wife left, Yang Xi stayed in the store for a while. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street, she decided to leave.
Just as she was about to lock the shop door, she felt someone beside her and turned her head to look.
He met Ouyang Yu's dark eyes.
After Yang Xi looked at him for a moment, she turned her head to look at the street. She did not see Ouyang Yu's bodyguard cars, nor did she see Ouyang Yu's goddess Zhao Shu.
She continued to lock the door, asking Ouyang Yu, "Why are you alone? Your sweetheart is coming out of the detention center today, so you have to stay with her until dawn."
The outermost door of the store is a rolling shutter door, which is a bit heavy to pull down.
Ouyang Yu took two steps forward and took the initiative to help Yang Xi pull down the rolling shutter.
"I didn't ask you to help me. You volunteered to help me. Don't even think about getting any reward from me."
Ouyang Yu glanced at her sideways: "You receive hundreds of thousands of pocket money from me every month, and the business of the store is also good. You see that you are making a fortune every day, yet you are still so stingy."
“If you don’t save a little, how can you save money?”
"Money is earned through hard work, not by being stingy. The pocket money I give you every month is what many people would spend two or three years to earn. You're already ahead of others, so there's no need to be so stingy. You're such a generous person, so why are you so stingy with me?"
"Because you are richer than me, I just want to transfer the money in your wallet to mine, not the other way around."
Ouyang Yu: “…”
"Are you the one who locks the shop every night?"
Although Yang Xi and Mu Qing are good friends, if Mu Qing takes advantage of Yang Xi, he... can't stand it and has to talk to Mu Qing.
It's not that Yang Xi is his nominal wife, so he helps Yang Xi. He is a chivalrous man and can't stand Mu Qing bullying Yang Xi by relying on Ye Junbo's power.
Rolling shutters are heavy.
"No, usually Mu Qing is the last one to lock the shop door because she rents a house nearby. I need to ride my bike home, and she always urges me to go home early. Now that the shop has reopened, business is booming, which is why we're so busy now. When Mr. Ye came to pick up Mu Qing, I let her go first."
Ouyang Yu: "...Mu Qing said she was born with great strength, so it was much easier for her to lock the door than it was for you."
Yang Xi looked at him and said, "I've practiced before. I'm quite strong, probably better than the average girl."
"Oh."
Ouyang Yu snorted, his tone clearly ironic. "You've only learned fancy moves, not real practice. You have the advantage against weak women, but not against men. There's a natural disparity in strength between men and women."
Yang Xi used to learn Taekwondo.
In Ouyang Yu's eyes, Yang Xi really can't take a beating.
"Anyway, as long as we can protect ourselves from perverts, that's all."
Ouyang Yu: “…”
He wanted to say that she couldn't defend herself against a powerful pervert.
For example, someone like him.
Well!
He is not a pervert.
Yang Xi got on the electric bike and wanted to leave.
Ouyang Yu held down the front of her electric bike.
"What? Is there something else? Go ahead and tell me. I'll give you a few minutes."
Ouyang Yu was amused. "Your time is precious? You make it sound like you're very busy."
"Yes, my time is very valuable."
"...It's so late, you're going back like this?"
Yang Xi asked him, "If I don't go back this way, how can I go back? Fly?"
She waved her hands like wings and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "I don't have wings, so I can't fly back. I don't want to walk, and I don't want to roll back, so I'll just ride an electric bike. It's neither too slow nor too fast, just right for enjoying the night view. The night view of our City A is quite good."
Ouyang Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "What I mean is, it's late at night. You're a girl, young and pretty, with a great figure. It's not safe for you to ride an electric bike home. What if you run into a perverted pervert who robs you of your money and your body? It's late at night, and there aren't many people on the road. Even if you scream for help, no one will hear you."
"If you want to take me home, just tell me. I'll be happy to give you a chance. It saves time and is safer."
Ouyang Yu couldn't stand her showing off and wanted to deny it, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
"You open the store door, leave the electric bike in the store, and I will take you back."
"Then how am I supposed to get to work tomorrow? Are you going to pick me up?"
"You're dreaming. I'm picking you up, but you don't even pay me for the fare. Who wants to work for free?"
Yang Xi smacked his lips and said, "Since you won't pick me up, I'll leave the electric bike in the store. It will be inconvenient for me to come to work tomorrow."
"There are buses you can take. If the bus is too crowded, you can call a taxi."
"It requires money."
Ouyang Yu: “…”
He reached out and took the keys from the electric bike, and the store keys were also tied together.
Too lazy to argue with her any more, he just went ahead and did it.
She opened the shop door, pushed her electric bike into the store, and then locked the door again.
"Bad boss."
Ouyang Yu's face was dark, and he said angrily: "Yang Xi, if you call me bad boss again, believe it or not, I will cut off your tongue and feed it to the dogs."
"I'm used to it. Habit becomes nature."
Yang Xi sat in the passenger seat and stuck out her tongue playfully.
"Speaking of which, you bad... Ouyang Yu, if your goddess knew you sent me home like this, would she slap me again?"
"Didn't you say you've practiced before?"
"Oh, I get it. If your goddess slaps me, I'll slap her back hard. She looks so delicate and soft, as if she'd fall over at the slightest breeze. If I slap her a few times, her face will swell up like a pig's head, and she'll cry to you, 'Ouyang, my face hurts, it hurts, please blow on it for me.'"
"Just take advantage of the opportunity I created for you. No need to thank me specifically."
Ouyang Yu had started the engine, but when he heard her say that, he turned it off and leaned forward with his upper body. Yang Xi was so frightened that she wanted to dodge, but she had fastened her seat belt and the car door was locked, so she had no way to escape.
Seeing his gloomy face, Yang Xi blinked and soon understood why he looked gloomy.
"Yang Xi!"
Ouyang Yu warned her coldly: "Don't touch a hair on Zhao Shu's head. She is indeed a weak woman. She doesn't have the natural strength of Mu Qing, and she hasn't trained like you. If you dare to slap her hard, be careful of me..."
Yang Xi pushed him away to prevent him from getting too close.
"You reminded me that I had practiced before. Didn't you remind me that if Zhao Shu knew you sent me home and came to cause trouble for me, I should fight back? Of course, even if you didn't remind me, I would still fight back if she caused trouble for me. No fool would let her slap me casually when I don't owe her anything."
"Strictly speaking, I should be the one causing trouble for her. After all, I am your legal wife. Who is she to you?"
Ouyang Yu: "...Yang Xi, we are just a couple in name only. The one I have always wanted to marry is Zhao Shu. If my grandfather hadn't forced me, I would never have married you. Please remember our partnership!"
