Chapter 459 Do You Still Love Me?
Huo Qingci dared not provoke Shen Buyu.
Being a few years older, he quickly accepted the reality after learning about the bond between his girlfriends.
Old Huo wasn't directly involved in this matter.
Shen Buyu waved his hand, "It's nothing. I was on a business trip the other day, and the intern I was supervising was bullied. Nobody stood up for her, so I had a little argument with Lao Huo when I got back."
“Oh, then go ahead and scold him all you want. He is him, and I am me. We are still best friends,” Qin Nianke said, taking it easy. “But sister, can you help me think of something creative for my wedding anniversary with my husband? I’m out of ideas.”
Shen Buyu: "...Nianke, you deserve to make a lot of money. Your mentality is amazing."
Lin Xia, holding her four-year-old son, laughed heartily, "You guys are making quite a scene."
"Nianke, what are you talking about? Is the baby bothering you?" Huo Qingci brought over a glass of juice and placed it next to Qin Nianke.
He glanced at Shen Buyu, feeling a little uncertain.
Will my wife come home tonight?
“No trouble, he’s been behaving well,” Qin Nianke patted the seat next to her. “Sit down.”
Huo Qingci felt half at ease.
"Oh, Director Huo isn't working overtime today? Is it appropriate for him to be attending a banquet on the weekend instead of working overtime?" Shen Buyu said sarcastically.
“Sister-in-law, I’ve already made them apologize to your person, and they’ll make up for her overtime pay. This kind of thing will never happen again.”
Shen Buyu nodded, "I agree with Director Huo's approach. After all, it's already pitiful to be forced to work overtime on the weekend and then be wronged. It's good news that you can resolve this fairly and justly. Although it's so late, it's better than no result at all."
Huo Qingci's temples throbbed; Deputy Director Shen was really protective of his own.
He looked to his wife for help.
His wife acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and just kept her head down, fiddling with the kitten on her daughter's shoes.
"Sister-in-law, have a drink," Huo Qingci pushed the glass he had just brought to his wife in front of Shen Buyu. "I'll have the finance department give her a bonus when I go there on Monday. People who work hard over the weekend deserve it."
Workplace bullying is rampant; it's those people who take advantage of her absence to torment the child.
However, after this incident, others should be more restrained.
An apology plus compensation is acceptable.
"Oh, thank you, Qingci. The juice is great." Shen Buyu smiled, picked up the juice, and took a sip. "Hey, I bought a little dress for my niece. You can take it home later."
"Thank you, cousin-in-law." Qin Nianke finally heard someone speaking.
Si Jingxu came to find his wife and happened to see this scene.
He leaned against the pillar with his arms crossed, beaming with a smile. His little feathers were truly lovely.
Over the years, he has not only been able to protect himself, but also the people under his command.
He is truly blessed to have such a wonderful woman.
When he got home, he asked Shen Buyu, "If Huo Qingci wasn't your cousin's husband, and you couldn't control him, how would you seek justice for your people?"
Shen Buyu smiled slightly, "Your wife is also a deputy director, so she does have some power. I don't step forward because I'm afraid my little friend will be flattered. If Huo Qingci has nothing to do with me, I don't mind showing my power."
Now that I'm older, I have more things to consider.
Simplify things within the most reasonable limits, and make the outcome clear. That's good; it saves everyone trouble.
"Wife," Si Jingxu looked at her tenderly, "give me a kiss."
Silent: ...
It's true that the older you get, the more clingy you become.
Seeing her speechless expression, Si Jingxu immediately fired off a three-part question: "Don't you want to kiss me? You're disgusted with me? Do you still love me?"
Shen Buyu chuckled. Luckily, the children weren't on the same bus.
She tilted her head back, kissed his lips, and mischievously bit them twice. "I want to kiss you, I don't mind, I love you."
Si Jingxu was satisfied.
He didn't know why, but the longer he spent with her, the stronger his love for her became.
He didn't want to act this way, but he couldn't help it.
He knew she loved him, but he wanted her to show it through her actions.
He enjoys everything his wife brings – kisses, touches, and nibbles.
In short, I need her both physically and mentally.
I want to keep her by my side at all times.
But he also knew that his little feather was free.
Ugh...it's so hard.
Early on a weekend morning, the three children obediently lined up to take the bus to their respective destinations.
Shen Zhiye and Si Chengli took Si Youqian to play golf.
Lan Xinyan and Ling Huiwen took Si Youning shopping.
Si Youche was sent to Song Jingyi's residence for tutoring.
He also took Jinbao and Yinbao with him.
Only Si Jingxu, Shen Buyu, and an orange kitten remained at home.
The kitten's name is Yuanbao. She met it at a gathering with her colleagues after get off work.
This kitten is gentle, affectionate, and has good eyesight.
Among the many cars in the parking lot, it immediately chose the silent Lexus and refused to get off the hood.
And so, the stray cat on the street met a kind-hearted god in the cold winter.
Even earlier than the winter snow came the cat's nest in the downtown villa.
Si Jingxu particularly disliked this cat, saying, "It's a snobbish, materialistic, and cunning creature."
Shen Buyu disagreed, "Why do you say Yuanbao is a snob? Your Maybach was parked right next to us, but it didn't go up. Huo Qingci next door had the same car as me, but it didn't go up either. It's just that we're destined to be together."
Si Jingxu could only watch as Yuanbao clung to Shen Buyu, unable to send it away to someone else.
"What do we do now?" Si Jingxu, dressed in beige loungewear, stood with his hands on his hips. "The kids are all out. Should we keep it?"
"Yuanbao is just a cat, it won't get in the way."
"Are you sure? You want it to watch scenes that are inappropriate for children? I don't mind having another cat as an audience, but can you handle it?" Si Jingxu shamelessly went over to kiss Chen Buyu.
"Oh, get up," Shen Buyu said, blushing as she pushed him away and picked up Yuanbao as she stood up. "Yuanbao, be good. Go back to your room and play for a while, or you can sleep. Mommy will come find you later."
"It might not work later, see you tomorrow morning," Si Jingxu said lazily from behind.
He remained silent, as if he had no ears to listen.
After returning the cat to its room, I went back downstairs.
There was no one left in the living room.
"Brother Jingxu?" Shen Buyu called out twice, but there was no response. "Si Jingxu!"
"How fierce," a languid voice with a hint of amusement came from behind. "Is this all the patience you have for your husband now?"
"Where did you go?" she asked, turning around.
Si Jingxu changed his clothes, wearing black trousers and a black shirt, buttoned up to his chest, revealing a lot of skin. He looked languid, with a hint of spring in his eyes. "Wife, how about we go see a movie together?"
As Shen Buyu recalled what had happened in the rooftop cinema last time, a blush crept across her fair face.
