Shen Wangshu looked at Dongfang Xuan, who was looking back at her with innocent eyes, with a twitching smile at the corner of his mouth.
She suddenly realized that this boy seemed to be even better at feigning innocence than she was.
"Are your legs okay? A masquerade ball? Why are you dressed as if you're in a wheelchair?" she asked bluntly.
The boy stiffened for a moment, then coughed and said in the gentlest voice, "Throughout history, the image of a brilliant and wise young man has always been that of someone in a wheelchair. Shushu, don't you think we're a perfect match?"
With a feather fan and silk turban, he seemed to have a brilliant mind, yet he struggled to command the world despite his frail health. His eyes always held gentleness and wisdom, and the contrast between his weak body and the wisdom that the world admired him for was striking. Wasn't this a sign of profound knowledge and elegance? However, Shen Wangshu's gaze was rather frightening. Dongfang Xuan gave her a slightly ingratiating smile and said softly, "My body is indeed very weak."
He coughed twice forcefully and leaned on Shen Wangshu's shoulder.
"I have no strength," he said weakly, his slender, pale fingers resting on his forehead.
Shen Wangshu remained silent.
She nudged the boy, snorted, and said, "Walk yourself."
"My head hurts." The boy stubbornly pressed himself against her without moving, while also being a bit cheeky.
"The president is not feeling well," the cool and handsome man in the black suit said to Shen Wangshu in a deep voice, carrying the wheelchair from behind.
To convince Shen Wangshu, the man patted Dongfang Xuan on the shoulder, and the young man let out a soft cry, his eyes trembling slightly as if he had fainted.
He looked very cunning, but Shen Wangshu couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She stroked his cheek and dragged the boy toward the villa's entrance without saying anything more. As soon as she lifted her foot, she found that the boy was indeed following her footsteps like a shadow, but he still kept his eyes closed and leaned on her shoulder as if he was being stubborn.
Such intimacy and affection softened Shen Wangshu's heart. She tried her best to maintain this pose as they walked to the villa's door. She couldn't help but turn around, only to see Nangong Yao chasing after her to the door, looking at her with an ambiguous expression.
The man seemed to have overcome his psychological barrier by kicking himself, yet he also seemed to want to keep Shen Wangshu in his heart at all times.
Dongfang Xuan gave a soft hum and said in the gentlest, spring-like voice, "He is nothing to worry about."
Despite the boy's frail physique, Shen Wangshu found him extremely reliable.
“I’m not afraid of him,” Shen Wangshu said calmly.
The boy turned his head, quickly peeked out, and kissed Shen Wangshu's cheek.
His beautiful, slender eyes reflected the image of Shen Wangshu.
The man in black had already reached the bottom of the villa's steps. Shen Wangshu, having recovered from the gentle yet bold kiss, felt even more tender. She then noticed a black car parked outside the Nangong family's spacious villa under the moonlight. The car was four or five sections long, understated yet luxurious, gleaming with a faint light.
A row of burly men stood outside the car, looking menacing; no wonder Dongfang Xuan could barge into the Nangong family's villa. Upon seeing Dongfang Xuan, all the men bowed slightly and respectfully opened the car doors.
Shen Wangshu got into the car and saw the boy follow her in.
The car was very spacious and furnished with all sorts of luxurious amenities. Shen Wangshu felt a deep envy for the extravagant life of the trillion-dollar CEO.
Why would you put a wine cabinet in your car? What are you trying to show off?
Are you an adult yet?
Is it safe to drink alcohol now?
Shen Wangshu casually searched on the car's computer and found a very popular anime called "The Disastrous Life of Kiki". Although the anime had superpowers and such, it seemed quite entertaining. She took the juice that Dongfang Xuan handed her and took a sip. She then saw that the boy had stopped pretending to be weak and was looking at her with a pair of gentle and affectionate eyes.
Seeing such a young and innocent boy, Shen Wangshu suddenly felt a deep sense of guilt, as if she would feel guilty if she ate him. She touched his clear and fair face and asked gently, "Why did you come to find me?"
“I felt you were there, so I came to find you.” Dongfang Xuan said mysteriously, then lay down on his side and rested his head on Shen Wangshu’s knees.
He glanced at the animation uninterestedly, saw the rather handsome red-haired, taciturn man on the screen, snorted, and casually turned it off.
Such stinginess seems intolerable even to the world of anime. Gone is the low-key and humble young CEO we just saw at the Nangong family, a man who commanded respect from everyone.
"Let me show you my treasured possession." Dongfang Xuan smiled and slipped a disc into her hand. Shen Wangshu saw the screen flashing images of "Havoc in Heaven," and looked at her lover with complicated emotions. The young man froze for a moment, then said awkwardly, "This isn't mine, it's..."
He rolled his eyes, then pointed with a smile at the handsome man sitting upright in front of him, saying, "It's his." He looked intently at Shen Wangshu, and seeing that she seemed to believe him, his eyes crinkled into a wider smile. He was very handsome and fair-skinned, and looked extremely gentle; his smile was captivating.
Clean and clear.
The car had already started moving. Shen Wangshu lowered her head and gently rubbed his forehead with both hands on his hair.
The boy rested his head on her lap, looking up at her gentle expression. His gaze was momentarily unfocused before he placed his cold hand on her wrist.
He gently stroked the scars on her wrist.
“He did it,” he said definitively.
"An unexpected disaster," Shen Wangshu said softly with a smile.
Is a relationship that always hurts others still a relationship?
