Chapter 1329 Taking a concubine?
Cheng Xiaoyu said in a half-asleep state, "Mr. Shi, you're really willing to use it."
Because she remembered that at the auction, the host introduced the age and origin of this small incense burner. It seemed to be something from a thousand years ago, a burial object of a prince.
Shi Chenyuan actually used this precious antique as soon as he said he would...
Shi Chenyuan smiled and said, "We buy things to use them, right? If this incense burner had a life, it might be very happy, as it can continue to be useful."
Cheng Xiaoyu thought Mr. Shi’s words were very interesting. Such old objects might really have spiritual energy.
After a thousand years, it came to its new owner, which can be regarded as a rebirth. Would the incense burner be very happy?
I don’t know what kind of person its owner was in its previous life, and how many people’s stories has it witnessed?
Cheng Xiaoyu was thinking about these things in a daze, and gradually fell into sleep accompanied by a faint fragrance.
And the small palace incense burner from a thousand years ago seemed to carry her soul through the tunnel of time and space and back to the past.
…
That night, Cheng Xiaoyu had a long dream, as if he had lived another life.
When she woke up, the sun had not yet risen and the sky was gray.
Thinking back to everything in the dream, even though I knew it was all fake, tears still flowed down my face as soon as I opened my eyes.
She turned and looked at the man sleeping next to her.
In the dim light, there were large shadows on Shi Chenyuan's face, but they also made his facial features more three-dimensional and his edges more distinct.
Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but move close to his lips and kiss him.
Shi Chenyuan was awakened by her kiss. He opened his eyes, put his hands on her back, kissed her back, then turned over and pressed her under him.
"Assistant Cheng, why are you being dishonest so early in the morning?"
His voice was slightly hoarse, probably because he had just woken up. It reminded Cheng Xiaoyu of him in her dream. He also used the same voice to say to her, "I'm sorry, I have no choice."
Thinking of that dream, Cheng Xiaoyu curled her lips, tears flowed again, and she hugged Shi Chenyuan's neck tightly.
Shi Chenyuan reached out and touched the area under her eyelids. "Why are you crying? Did you have a nightmare?"
"I dreamed that we were from ancient times. You were the young prince, and I was your princess. But right after you married me, you wanted to take a concubine! You even said that you had no choice but to marry her."
He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and asked, as if to tease her, "Is my concubine pretty?"
"Time sinks into the abyss!"
Cheng Xiaoyu was almost heartbroken. The scumbag CEO actually deliberately angered her. She almost wanted to beat him up.
"Okay, wake up," Shi Chenyuan smiled and rubbed her head, "This is modern society, how could I have a concubine?"
"If you could have it, would you really want it?"
Only then did Mr. Shi coax her in a gentle voice: "No, no, I only want you. Whoever asked me to take a concubine, I will kill his entire clan."
Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled, but still bit Shi Chenyuan's shoulder hard.
Shi Chenyuan also smiled and continued to ask her: "What happened next? Did I succeed? Did you ruin it for me?"
Cheng Xiaoyu snorted and said, "Of course not. I will die with you."
Shi Chenyuan was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Is it so cruel?"
"So don't betray me." After saying that, Cheng Xiaoyu turned around and faced him with his back.
She didn't want to tell Shi Chenyuan that the man in her dream ended up marrying that concubine.
And the concubine was none other than Yu Manning.
As for the young princess Cheng Xiaoyu, she left a divorce letter to the young prince and left the palace directly.
This dream was really disturbing. She knocked her forehead and muttered, "Okay, now I'm going to go back to sleep. I want to dream that I am the emperor and I will take concubines."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Chenyuan turned him over again.
"You can't handle me alone, and you want another man?"
“…”
This morning, Cheng Xiaoyu paid a "painful" price for his angry words.
When the sun rose high in the sky and only embers remained in the incense burner, Cheng Xiaoyu collapsed on the bed, regretting that she shouldn't have been so arrogant and had offended the CEO, causing herself suffering.
At this time, Shi Chenyuan had already taken a shower, put on his clothes, and was ready to go to the company.
He came and sat down beside the bed, looked at her and shook his head.
"Assistant Cheng, are you going to skip work again today?"
Cheng Xiaoyu was very tired and in a bad mood. She sat up wrapped in the quilt and hugged the CEO's arm. "Mr. Shi, I want to go home to see my parents today. Can you give me a day off?"
"Then who will do your job?" Mr. Shi asked with a smile.
Cheng Xiaoyu said flatteringly, "Mr. Shi is so amazing. You can finish my day's work in half an hour. How about you take over for me for a day?"
"Then tell me, what's the point of me hiring you as an assistant at a high salary?"
Cheng Xiaoyu bit her lip and asked with a blushing face: "For the sake of taking advantage of me?"
After she finished speaking, she noticed that Mr. Shi's expression was obviously unnatural.
Hmm? She seems to be right?
So, Mr. Shi hired her with a high salary just to take advantage of her, but he still looks like a gentleman. Tsk... this guy is really good at pretending.
Shi Chenyuan cleared his throat and said, "Then I'll give you a day off today. You can make up for the missed work tomorrow. I'm leaving first."
"Oh, bye scumbag."
"Hiss! You just called me that." After saying that, Shi Chenyuan gave her a slap on the face before getting up and leaving.
After Shi Chenyuan left, Cheng Xiaoyu stayed in bed for a while, his sight gradually focused on the cabinet at the end of the bed. Looking at the small incense burner, he recalled the dream of the previous night and always felt that this thing was a bit weird.
Cheng Xiaoyu immediately got out of bed, found a handkerchief and covered the incense burner with it.
…
That morning, something happened in Canglan Garden that made Su Jiuyao uneasy.
Gu Hanye went to the lake for a run early in the morning, and she stayed at home to prepare breakfast for the two of them.
Breakfast wasn't ready yet when the doorbell rang.
Su Jiuyao came to the building intercom and took a look at the image outside the door.
A man in a suit was standing in front of the door. He seemed to be a staff member of the auction house. Su Jiuyao had some impression of this man when she was handling the handover procedures last night.
Is there something wrong with yesterday’s auction items?
She took off her apron, hurried across the little garden, and opened the door.
In addition to the staff member in a suit, there was also a small van similar to an armored car parked in front.
Next to the truck stood two people in blue work clothes, who looked like logistics personnel.
In front of the van, there was a black Koenigsegg parked.
Su Jiuyao took a look at the Koenigsegg. There was a man sitting in the driver's seat. She couldn't see his face clearly, but his silhouette made her heart sink.
She looked away and turned to the suited staff member in front of her and said, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
The other party said respectfully: "Hello, Miss Su, we are here to help you deliver the auction items."
"What item is being auctioned?" Su Jiuyao asked in confusion.
The man in the suit nodded to the logistics personnel behind him, and the two men unloaded more than a dozen well-packaged items of various sizes from the van, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry, etc.
These were the things Su Jiuyao wanted to buy yesterday but were snatched away by that mysterious man.
