Chapter 46: Doesn't a dead ex come back to life?
He Yanxun seemed to have known the other party's every move all along.
"That's quite unfortunate, I don't need the money."
Five million.
He Yanxun chuckled: "Five million, huh? That sounds tempting. I didn't realize Miss Shen was so valuable to Dr. Shen."
"I'll think about it."
The call was disconnected, and He Yanxun kicked everyone out.
He felt like he was a huge victim, working and risking his life for others every day.
The office door was pushed open, and Si Shen came in carrying a takeout bag.
What are you doing here?
Si Shen placed the bag on his desk, opened it, and took out a box of anti-inflammatory suppositories.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"What is this thing?"
He Yanxun instinctively tried to run, but Si Shen hooked his arm and pinned him to the desk: "Medicine."
"It will heal faster."
"I don't want it, take it away, don't fucking force me to kick you."
"Listen to me, Ah Xun."
"If you listen, it won't be too painful," Si Shen coaxed softly. He could only spoil the person he had taken a liking to.

People who sneak around moving house with their dogs have a strong sense of escapism.
From the moment she entered the elevator until the doors opened, Cherry's mouth was kept tightly covered.
They were afraid that a bark from the dog would startle Qiao Xu.
"Shut up, or we're all dead if your mom finds out."
Xu Si'an was glad that he had someone add soundproofing, otherwise the dog's barking would have given them away in no time.
The one-bedroom apartment is not even as big as the bedroom in Xu Si'an's villa.
You can faintly hear the elevator ding.
The television screen in the living room is the surveillance camera feed from the doorway.
Xu Si'an watched as Meng Zhe walked out of the elevator and rang the doorbell.
Then Qiao Xu came out and opened the door, with a smile on her face.
He was extremely jealous: "You smile so happily at other people's men."
Meng Zhe came to give Qiao Xu the car keys: "Here, a birthday present."
Qiao Xu took it: "Thank you, brother. How much is it? I'll transfer the money to you."
She recently received a windfall in her bank account.
"It's not much. Didn't we agree that it would be a birthday present for you?"
Qiao Xu poured him some water: "What's going on between you and Xiao Rou?"
Meng Zhe patted her head: "You're being rude. You should call her 'cousin's wife' from now on."
Qiao Xu: ······
"It's my birthday tomorrow, how do you want to celebrate?"
"work."
She hadn't celebrated her birthday in four years. Ye Yurou and Fang Kexin used to invite her to dinner, but she hadn't eaten a birthday cake since.
"What after get off work? I'll book you a private room. Let's have Rou Rou, Miss Fang, and a few of my unlucky kids together?"
Qiao Xu was a little depressed.
Because he didn't mention anything about celebrating her birthday.
So she didn't know whether to agree or not.
"You didn't want to celebrate your birthday before because of the breakup, but now your ex who's been dead for four years is back to life, isn't he?"
Qiao Xu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
"Alright, you decide then. You can tell Xiaorou yourself in a bit."
Meng Zhe didn't stay long before leaving. Before he left, Qiao Xu followed him downstairs to drive the car to the garage and paid the parking fee.
When he parked his car, he saw a supercar parked downstairs.
Qiao Xu took a couple more glances.
After returning home, she told Ye Yurou about her birthday in the group chat before calling Xu Si'an.
The man on the other end of the line was nearly scared to death by the phone call.
He tried to calm himself down before answering the phone.
"Baby, why are you still up so late? Are you missing me? I'll come over and keep you company right now."
Qiao Xu suddenly realized she shouldn't have made that call.
"Don't be reckless."
"I just wanted to ask you, my cousin invited me to dinner tomorrow night, do you want to go?"
Xu Si'an rubbed the dog's head: "No, I have something to do tomorrow."
"oh."
"Where are you now?" She felt that the supercar she had just seen downstairs looked familiar, and it seemed that Xu Si'an also had one in his garage.
Xu Si'an's heart skipped a beat.
"At home."
He even patted Cherry's bottom and said, "Say something."
"Woof woof~~~"
Qiao Xu thought so too; if Xu Si'an came, there was no reason not to come to see her.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now."
Qiao Xu needs to catch up on the sleep she didn't get yesterday.
The next day when Qiao Xu went to work, there was a bunch of violets on her desk, along with a greeting card.
"Happy 28th birthday, my darling."
There was a gift box on the table. She opened it and found it was similar in style to the bracelet she had lost before.
But it's not the previous one.
This one is a diamond, that one isn't.
And even if it's the same, it's not the original one.
Qiao Xu put the bracelet into her bag and sent a message to the person who gave her the gift.
Did you send these flowers?
Xu Si'an replied instantly: 【You still want it to be a gift from someone else?】
Don't even think about it.
Qiao Xu: ······
She didn't answer, and the phone rang: "Hello."
"Did you see the bracelet?"
Qiao Xu opened it again and glanced at it: "I saw it, thank you."
Xu Si'an was driving to a studio in Los Angeles at that moment.
Don't you like it?
He hadn't forgotten that she had said the person who gave her the bracelet was very important, and that she loved him very much.
Who sent it?
They didn't have this bracelet when they were dating.
"like."
"Your tone doesn't sound like you like it at all."
Qiao Xu closed the lid and said casually, "I like it, but I won't wear it."
The man's smile froze, and his voice turned cold: "You're not going to wear the one I gave you?"
"Are you still thinking about the one you lost?"
Qiao Xu gave a soft "Irreplaceable".
Xu Si'an's face turned completely cold: "Even if I send it, it won't do."
"Um."
Song Jia knocked on Qiao Xu's door: "Sister Xu, President Xu is not here today. We need to attend the morning meeting of the planning department."
Qiao Xu nodded and touched up her lipstick: "I have to go to a meeting. I'll explain to you tonight."
Xu Si'an was inexplicably furious when the call was hung up on, and threw his phone on the seat, where it fell to the footrest.
Old Xu, who was driving, tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"Mr. Xu, we've arrived."
Xu Si'an bent down to pick up his phone, opened the door, and got out of the car: "No need to wait for me."
He walked into a baking studio with a small courtyard in the alley.
This cake shop was where Qiao Xu brought him when they were dating.
On his birthday, during the first year of their relationship, Qiao Xu made him a cake.
On their first anniversary, Qiao Xu brought him here to bake a cake.
"Hello, I've made an appointment to have a cake made. My surname is Xu."
The curtain in the baking kitchen was lifted: "It's you! It's been years."
The cake shop owner was deeply impressed by him and Qiao Xu; the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful, and he doted on them a lot.
"Yes, it's been a long time."
"You're making this cake yourself today, what kind do you want to make?"
Xu Si'an showed her the picture he had found beforehand: "Isn't this the one you and your girlfriend used to do?"
Xu Si'an took off his suit and watch and put them aside, then rolled up his sleeves.
"Yes, thank you for your help."
The cake shop owner prepared the ingredients for him: "No trouble at all."
"However, you and your girlfriend haven't been here in a long time."
"She came once a long time ago, also to make birthday cakes."
Xu Si'an was studying very seriously: "Yeah, we broke up, but we just got back together recently."
"The new book is gaining ratings, little ones, could you please give it a lucky five stars? /heart"
