Chapter 73 Mr. [Name], in many ways, cough cough, these are all firsts for him!
"..."
Looking at the crumpled design sketch in his hand, Shang Shiyan's expression was indescribably complicated.
I can't figure it out...
What did I do to provoke this girl and get swindled out of tens of millions?
Especially during conversations, her attitude was so bad it was as if she wanted to kill him!
"Oh."
Shang Shiyan carefully put the draft back in its original place, and the smile on his lips gradually deepened.
How many secrets does this little girl hold?
Is this about J.Five...?
He needs to figure this out!
——
Second floor.
Pei Jinwu finished showering but didn't see the hairdryer.
With her hair still wet, she had no choice but to go downstairs to find Aunt Wang.
As soon as I reached the spiral of the escalator, I saw Shang Shiyan, wearing a gray-blue bathrobe, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window talking on the phone.
The man's hair was slightly damp, and the belt around his waist was casually tied, outlining his lean waist.
Further down are well-proportioned and strong calves...
The warm light shone directly overhead, bathing his entire body in a golden halo.
She exudes an air of nonchalant ease, yet is dazzlingly captivating, making one's heart flutter at a single glance.
Pei Jinwu stopped in her tracks, a thought popping into her mind:
Tsk.
She's old, but she's really well-preserved.
"Hmm, keep an eye on her new product development." Shang Shiyan turned his head, his peripheral vision catching a glimpse of the girl at the stairs, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"that's all."
After ending the call, Shang Shiyan tossed his phone onto the sofa and strode towards Pei Jinwu.
Why aren't you drying your hair?
"..."
Pei Jinwu's gaze flickered slightly, and she was about to speak when Wang Ma, who was busy in the kitchen, rushed out in a hurry, "I'm so sorry, Miss Pei."
"I was just about to grab the hairdryer, but I forgot about it while I was walking around the kitchen."
"Please sit down, I'll help you dry your hair."
Miss Pei has an injury to her right hand, so it's not very convenient for her.
"Give me the hairdryer."
Just as Wang Ma was about to step forward, Shang Shiyan suddenly reached out and took the hand, saying in a low, hoarse voice, "I'll take care of Wuwu here. You continue with the kitchen; she might be hungry."
When I picked her up, she looked as wilted as a dehydrated little mushroom.
It's obvious they haven't eaten.
What is this girl doing there?
She was unwilling to talk about it, and I didn't want to pry into her privacy by investigating.
Human safety is more important than anything else.
"ah?"
Wang Ma paused for two seconds, then quickly recovered and replied with a smile, "Okay, Mr. Shang."
After speaking.
He wisely slipped into the kitchen to avoid disturbing the two of them, and deliberately closed the door behind him.
Suddenly, only the two of them were left in the living room.
"Wuwu, sit here."
Shang Shiyan plugged in the hairdryer and waved to the girl who was lost in thought.
"oh."
Pei Jinwu walked over and obediently sat on the sofa.
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The switch was turned on, and hot air swirled above my head.
"..."
Pei Jinwu lazily opened her eyes and found Shang Shiyan standing in front of her.
His tall frame leaned slightly forward, and as a result, his belt was a little loose, and the collar of his robe was inadvertently open.
Um……
Looking further up along the belt, the man's chest was clearly visible.
He is strong, fit, and good-looking.
Cough cough.
Pei Jinwu's face suddenly turned red, and she instinctively backed away, trying to create some distance.
"Sweetie, don't move for now."
Shang Shiyan gently patted his head, his voice soft: "Be careful not to burn yourself."
The hairdryer gets quite hot.
The young girl has delicate skin and flesh; it would be too much for her to handle.
"..."
Pei Jinwu's body was forced to stiffen.
The next second she felt the man's long, slender fingers running through her wet, long hair.
As the man combed her hair, he carefully blew on each strand, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a precious object.
Pei Jinwu did not feel any discomfort at all throughout the entire process.
Tsk.
That's a really good technique.
You've done this for others before, haven't you?
affim!
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, feeling quite uncomfortable.
I simply closed my eyes and refused to look at him.
Ten minutes later.
Only after making sure every single strand of hair was completely dry did Shang Shiyan turn off the hair dryer.
He picked up a comb and carefully tidied the girl's slightly disheveled hair, speaking softly and gently:
"Next time you're coming home late, you need to tell me or Aunt Wang in advance, otherwise we'll worry, okay?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu was still thinking about her skillful technique and didn't want to make a sound.
"What's wrong?"
Not hearing a reply from the little girl, Shang Shiyan stopped what he was doing, squatted down in front of her, looked her in the eye, and asked softly.
"..."
Pei Jinwu's gaze fell on the man's face. After hesitating for a few seconds, she looked away impatiently and uttered a single word: "No."
Are you hungry?
Shang Shiyan didn't pay much attention, patted her head, and said affectionately, "Come to the restaurant for dinner, Aunt Wang made your favorite roast goose."
Roast goose?
Pei Jinwu walked to the restaurant and sat down, only to find two bowls on the table.
He didn't eat either?
"The gentleman came back late and went to pick you up, so he didn't have time to eat."
When Wang Ma brought out the food, she noticed Pei Jinwu's confusion and answered with a smile.
Is that so?
Pei Jinwu glanced at the man washing his hands, and her brow relaxed considerably.
"Have some brown sugar ginger tea before you eat," said Wang Ma, setting down the cup with a kind expression. "The master specially ordered it to be made so you wouldn't catch a cold. Would you like to try some?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu took a sniff; it smelled strongly of ginger.
I don't like eating ginger.
"I……"
Just as she was about to refuse, Wang Ma's surprised voice rang out again: "I didn't expect that Mr. Shang would do such a good job blow-drying a girl's hair for the first time."
"first?"
Pei Jinwu looked at Wang Ma with a puzzled expression, her pupils dilating slightly.
“Yes, that’s right.” Wang Ma fiddled with the dishes, her smile bright. “Besides you, the master has never had any other girls around him.”
In many ways, cough cough, this is the first time for me.
"oh……"
Pei Jinwu blinked, a barely perceptible smile curving her lips, her mood clearly improving.
"Miss Pei, drink up, it'll get cold soon," Wang Ma said again.
"Thanks."
Pei Jinwu picked up the cup and took a small sip.
It tastes a bit awful.
But in the end, he forced himself to drink it all.
——
At the dining table.
Shang Shiyan held the serving chopsticks and diligently served food to the little girl.
"..."
Pei Jinwu was in a good mood and had a good appetite, so she ate all the dishes that Shang Shiyan picked out for her.
"Fog."
The man put down the peeled shrimp, wiped his hands, and asked with a meaningful smirk, "You can paint?"
"?"
Pei Jinwu stopped eating the shrimp, slowly raised her chin, and looked at the man suspiciously.
"Just asking."
Seeing the fleeting hint of panic on her delicate face, Shang Shiyan smiled and said in a low, husky voice with amusement, "I saw a few paintings in your room that look like they were painted by yourself."
"oh."
Pei Jinwu guiltily looked away, buried her head and continued eating, her voice muffled: "I know a little."
The paintings in the room were indeed her work.
A portrait of my grandfather.
However, she remembered that the portrait was unsigned.
Shang Shiyan couldn't possibly know... she's J.Five, could she?!
"Is that so?"
Shang Shiyan chuckled softly, his dark eyes growing even more unfathomable as he gazed at her.
Are you sure... you know a little?
Not a billion?!
