Chapter 48 He really forgot
He watched silently as Shen Yanzhou walked to the side to answer his phone.
The next second, a pleasant sandalwood scent wafted over, and by the time she came to her senses, Si Jingxu was already sitting down next to her.
They weren't very close together; the space between them was enough for two more people to sit.
It's a social distance that feels quite safe.
"A lot of people at school are pursuing you?" Si Jingxu asked casually.
"Not much." Yan Buyu sat upright, holding his phone in one hand and clutching the hem of his pants with the other.
When Si Jingxu looked at her while she spoke, her heart always felt a little off, and even her breathing became difficult.
Si Jingxu's expression remained unchanged, but a storm was brewing within him.
Not many.
"Not many" means "quite a lot".
He gave a lazy "hmm," his right thumb and forefinger rubbing together lightly. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble. Should I ask your older brother to step in?"
Yan Buyu quickly shook her head. She had never caused the Shen family any trouble since she was a child and went to school, so she didn't need to worry about this little thing. "No need to trouble my brother, he's already very busy."
"Oh," Si Jingxu said lazily, "Big brother is busy, but Brother Jingxu isn't."
Only then did Yan Buyu understand what Shen Yanzhou meant by the friendship he and Si Jingxu had built during their school days.
This person usually doesn't care about anyone else's business, but now he's actually helping his sister who isn't related to him by blood for Shen Yanzhou's sake.
They're really good friends.
"No need, Brother Jingxu, I'll just ignore them. I've already told all the people who confessed to me that I won't date in college."
The girl sat properly, her voice soft and sweet, her clear eyes looking at him with a hint of timidity, which made him lose his mind.
She had a faint peach scent.
It's sweet and fragrant, but not cloying at all.
The scent was too faint; he was far away and could only catch a whiff of it occasionally.
I regret it a little. Why did I have to act like a gentleman? I should have just stayed closer to her.
"Why did you go to the bar that time?" Si Jingxu tilted his head to look at her. "Did you go with a suitor?"
Without a word, he instantly understood which time he was referring to.
She glanced subconsciously at Shen Yanzhou, who was on the phone.
Then, lowering her voice, she said to Si Jingxu, "That's not how it is, Brother Jingxu. The day we first met, I was going to see my brother, which was the day my eldest brother returned to the country."
First time meeting?
Si Jingxu raised an eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied.
He really forgot.
"Looking for your older brother, huh?" Si Jingxu scoffed. "Lying to your older brother for your second brother's sake?"
Yan Buyu thought that he and Shen Yanzhou were so close that he would get angry if he found out that the other had been deceived.
“No, Brother Jingxu, I’m afraid that when my eldest brother comes back he will blame my second brother. You know, the two of them don’t get along very well, and I don’t want anyone in the family to quarrel.” She glanced in the direction of Shen Yanzhou again, “Could you please not tell me that my eldest brother saw me at the bar?”
Si Jingxu stared at her for two seconds.
She's such a scaredy-cat; this frightened her.
What's so scary about Boss Shen?
"Want to take a look at my stocks?" Si Jingxu suddenly asked. "Your brother still has a long phone call to make, and dinner isn't ready yet."
"Huh?" Yan Buyu was puzzled. Was his thinking really that unpredictable? "What about the bar?"
"What's up at the bar?" Si Jingxu stood up. "I'll take you to look at stocks."
Yan Buyu was happy, her lips curved into a smile, and her voice was sweet, "Thank you, Brother Jingxu."
Si Jingxu nodded contentedly, "Let's go."
Yan followed him upstairs without saying a word.
His house had a similar layout to the Shen family's, but the decorating style was completely different.
Because of the lady of the house, the Shen family home has a creamy theme, and everything exudes warmth.
His space is predominantly black and gray, exuding a luxurious yet aloof aura.
Like him.
And... Yan Buyu looked around, but it didn't seem like there were any women there.
"Does my renovation meet your standards?" Si Jingxu asked, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at her.
His little head is always darting around; he can't hide a single thought.
After what just happened, Yan Buyu's attitude towards Si Jingxu changed slightly. He may look cold, but he's actually a nice person.
He chuckled, "It's pretty good."
Si Jingxu unlocked the door to his study with his fingerprint, pushed open a side door, raised an eyebrow and called to her, "Please come in, Miss Buyu."
His study was very large, with an entire wall of built-in bookshelves and display tables filled with antiques...
With his large desk and comfortable executive chair, he certainly knows how to enjoy life.
But with his net worth, what's the point of enjoying himself if he doesn't spend money?
Everything hanging on the wall and placed on the table is the same as in the museum.
They really don't treat her like an outsider. Yan Buyu is walking even more carefully now, because if she accidentally knocks over someone's antique, she'll have to pay for it.
Si Jingxu sat down at the table, clicked the mouse a few times, and called out to Yan Buyu, "What are you standing there for? Does Buyu have X-ray vision? Can't he see through the back of the monitor?"
Yan Buyu thought to himself, no wonder Qin Nianke both hates and fears him.
She has a sharp tongue.
She just didn't want to see him enter his computer password.
She slowly walked behind the desk and stood obediently next to Si Jingxu. There were three monitors, and she couldn't keep up with looking at them all.
Si Jingxu leaned back in his boss's chair, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze sweeping over her.
Now that we're closer, the peach scent on her is stronger.
Even her profile is as lovely as a ripe peach.
"Sit down and watch, I need to take this call." Si Jingxu stood up, holding his phone, and offered her the chair.
Without saying a word or being polite, he sat down directly, his eyes never leaving the monitor.
Si Jingxu didn't say anything, but walked to the sofa next to him and sat down.
She looked at the computer, and he looked at her.
This moment is ordinary yet blissful.
Si Jingxu didn't even dare to make any big moves, for fear of breaking the tranquility at this moment.
The phone, which had been silent, suddenly rang.
"Big brother," she said softly, "Oh, we're in Brother Jingxu's study, we're coming right now."
She hung up the phone without saying a word and looked up to meet her boss Jingxu's gaze.
My heart trembled slightly.
She used a blowing membrane to suppress the strange feeling in her body. "Brother Jingxu, let's go downstairs for dinner."
“Hmm,” Si Jingxu stood up, “How was it? Future little stock market guru, would you like to comment on my stock portfolio?”
Yan Buyu blushed slightly. "Brother Jingxu, please don't tease me. I'd rather learn more from you."
Si Jingxu is very bold; most of his stocks are high-risk.
She's different; she chooses stocks based on her memories from her past life.
If it weren't for the good fortune she gained in her past life, she would only choose stable, low-risk stocks to invest in.
The dramatic ups and downs of the curve were too much for her fragile heart.
Si Jingxu couldn't resist and reached out to rub her head.
He remained silent and his body stiffened.
"Your older brother told me to take good care of you, and Brother Jingxu didn't break his promise, did he?"
Yan Buyu breathed a sigh of relief.
He really has a good relationship with his older brother, so much so that he treats himself like a younger sister.
