Chapter 425 Robbery x Beautiful Lady (5)
Chen Yuan was startled and lowered his head to eat in silence.
"And this one, should I call you...?"
He paused deliberately, his smile unclear.
Shen Yuan paused slightly with the chopsticks in her hand, and her long eyelashes trembled.
She put down her chopsticks gracefully and looked up at Fu Huaisi, "Just like Cheng'an, just call me A Yuan."
Cheng'an? That's pretty close.
Fu Huaisi had a frivolous smile on his face, poured a glass of red wine, and leaned over.
Ding.
The two cups touched, and Fu Huaisi smiled seductively, "Okay, Miss Shen."
He just didn't shout.
Fu Huaisi picked up the wine glass, and the red wine went down his throat, the aroma of the wine was unrestrained.
Shen Yuan's throat tightened slightly, and he also picked up the lemonade and took a sip, smiling at Fu Huaisi.
It could barely be considered the first time the two of them met officially.
It was just that Fu Huaisi's vague gaze, with its strong sense of oppression, made people feel fear for no reason.
He looks like a dandy boy who plays around in the world, but only those who know him well can see that the soul beneath this dissolute appearance is the most indifferent and ruthless.
"Second brother, where are you going to stay tonight? Why don't you stay at my place?"
Qiu Chengan spoke in a gentle voice, acting like a caring brother.
Only when the two of them are alone together will his true cannibalistic nature be revealed.
Fu Huaisi leaned back leisurely, with his long arms stretched across the chair, and tilted his head when he heard the words.
"Miss Shen, I just returned home and have nowhere to go for the time being. Can I stay here with you for a few nights?"
Before Shen Yuan could speak, Qiu Chengan had already declined on her behalf.
"How can this be possible? Don't you have several properties in Jingjiang? It's better not to disturb A Yuan."
“Miss Shen,” Fu Huaisi said jokingly, looking sideways at Shen Yuan: “Look at my good brother, he doesn’t seem to welcome me.”
Shen Yuan avoided this extremely aggressive gaze and drank water nervously.
The man's smile widened and he teased her, "So, what about you?"
Shen Yuan put down the cup tremblingly and finally spoke.
"Of course you are welcome."
Her voice was soft and delicate, like that of a frightened kitten.
Fu Huaisi really had no interest in this kind of woman. He put down his empty glass of red wine, stood up and stretched.
“Miss Shen, I’ll stay at your place for the next few days. Will I disturb you?”
A request that cannot be refused.
Chen Yuan frowned delicately, feeling a little embarrassed, but nodded helplessly.
"Don't bother me, if you want to stay, you can stay in the guest bedroom."
Fu Huaisi raised his lips proudly and nodded politely, "Thank you."
Then he clapped his hands and the door opened.
Qin Xu walked in followed by a large group of bodyguards.
In just five minutes, all the quilts and pillows in the guest bedroom were replaced with the styles Fu Huaisi liked.
When Qiu Huaxun bought the Huafengyuan property, he was attracted by its large area and good environment. He asked someone to build more than a dozen rooms and even thought of raising a dozen canaries here.
Unfortunately, his health deteriorated later and he became useless, so his perverted idea was stranded before it even took off.
Afterwards, it was given to Chen Yuan as a private residence.
A group of people were coming in and out of the living room, as if there was no one there.
Chen Yuan was still wearing a thin beige nightgown, which was not very appropriate in front of outsiders.
After saying something to Butler Wan, he planned to go back to his room.
"Miss."
Shen Yuan turned around and it was Qin Xu.
"I apologize for bothering you these past few days. I'm not sure if there's any place in the villa we can't go to. Please let me know in advance, as I'm afraid I might offend you."
Chen Yuan tightened the collar of her pajamas, her voice cold and soft.
"The third floor is the study used by Mr. Qiu...Mr. Qiu during his lifetime. It contains mostly his personal belongings. Please be careful and don't go there."
Shen Yuan really couldn't bring himself to say the word "father".
"Okay, don't worry."
Chen Yuan nodded, said no more, and slowly went upstairs.
The nightgown swayed, and the cold white slender ankles were faintly visible at the hem.
For some unknown reason, Fu Huaisi stretched out his hand and made a circle.
It's so thin that it can be broken in one go.
He sneered and called Qin Xu over.
"Brother Fu."
"What did that woman say to you just now?"
Seeing that Qiu Cheng'an had no intention of leaving, Qin Xu lowered his voice and covered his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Miss Shen said that the study on the third floor was where the old man used to be.”
Fu Huaisi hummed a low, neither light nor heavy sound, and waved his hand to let him go.
Qiu Chengan was still sitting at the dining table, showing no intention of leaving.
"Brother, I'm going to sleep. Take your time eating."
After saying that, Fu Huaisi winked at him nonchalantly and laughed carefreely.
The door of the guest bedroom closed quickly, blocking Qiu Cheng'an's sight.
Qiu Chengan clenched his fists in anger.
His good brother has changed a lot in recent years and is really careless in doing things.
As soon as his father died, he couldn't wait to move in, not afraid of what outsiders would say.
In the past, he thought he understood his personality quite well, but after not seeing him for two years, his changes were so obvious that he seemed like two different people.
Through the layers of thick fog, he could hardly see through him.
Could it be... because of that code?
Qiu Cheng'an's eyes lit up, and his sinister gaze meandered up the luxurious, flowing staircase.
Could it be that it really is with this woman named Chen Yuan?
He was skeptical at first and came to Huafengyuan after the funeral, but when he tried to test her several times during the meal, the woman always appeared cautious, simple and kind.
It's like there's no knowledge of that code and that legacy.
If it was an act, it meant that the woman was deliberately hiding something and had no intention of standing on his side.
If he's not pretending, then he's really stupid.
Whatever the possibility, it is not a good thing for him.
Qiu Cheng'an clenched his wine glass, his face extremely gloomy.
After a moment, he put down his glass and turned to leave.
The Bentley drove out of the courtyard and disappeared into the night.
The curtains were drawn open, revealing a tall figure standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window.
Fu Huaisi had just finished taking a shower and was wearing a loose robe. His half-dry hair covered his thick black eyebrows and eyes, making him look less aggressive.
Watching Qiu Cheng'an leave with nothing, he looked happy and raised his thin red lips in a gloating manner.
Judging from the time, Qin Xu should have sneaked into the study.
Third floor.
With a click, Qin Xu quietly pushed open the study door and wiped the fingerprints left on the combination lock without any expression.
The study was messy and deserted, and it was obvious that no one had been there for a long time.
Qin Xu casually flipped through the contracts on the table. They were all unimportant stuff.
He threw it aside, opened the drawer and examined it carefully, not missing any corner.
Unfortunately, this study is obviously not where the old man usually handles company affairs. No useful information can be found after searching everywhere, let alone the crucial code.
Qin Xu didn't give up and was about to continue flipping.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the study. Qin Xu's face changed and he hid under the table.
