Chapter 391 Little Feather, Do You Want Revenge?
After the kiss, Shen Buyu's legs went weak, and her breathing was a little faster than usual. She leaned against Si Jingxu's chest.
She closed her eyes, quietly feeling his heartbeat, which had already gone awry.
"Silence," Si Jingxu kissed the top of her head, "Are you hungry?"
"I'm fine." After her breathing calmed down, Shen Buyu's face was flushed as she stepped out of his embrace. "The beef noodles at the restaurant cost twenty-five yuan, a huge bowl with six pieces of meat. I'm already stuffed."
"Let's sit down for a while," Si Jingxu said, pulling Shen Buyu to sit on the sofa and pouring her a cup of jasmine tea. "I'm not happy today."
"Hmm?" Shen Buyu looked over in surprise. "What's wrong? No one's bothering us on our date today."
Si Jingxu sighed, "During a company meeting, one of the directors, relying on his age, acted arrogantly and kept contradicting me."
“That shouldn’t be the case. I heard that everyone in your company is afraid of you, and no one on the board dares to mess with you,” Shen Buyu blurted out.
Si Jingxu glanced at her sideways, seemingly with a hint of resentment, "I'm a human, not a ghost, how come no one bothers me? I'm so annoyed."
After a few moments of thought, Shen Buyu immediately put down her teacup, sat closer to Si Jingxu, turned to the side, took Si Jingxu's hand with her left hand, and gently stroked his back with her right hand.
"There are all kinds of birds in a big forest. Only a few dare to upset you. Just ignore him. It's not worth letting an old man affect your mood."
Her gentle words were like a cool stream flowing through one's heart, bringing indescribable comfort.
Si Jingxu twisted his wrist and grasped Shen Buyu's hand in return. His melancholy vanished, and he returned to being the Si family's heir who had everything under control.
"My little feather is amazing, she can coax me with just a few words."
Shen Buyu: "..."
She sensed something was wrong.
The next second, Si Jingxu touched her hand, "I've told you about my troubles at work. Now, do you want to complain to me about the annoying people you encounter at work?"
Shen Buyu understood.
This kid's trying to get information out of me.
She was actually worried just now.
“Don’t tell me you’re fine, Buyu. I can tell you’re unhappy today,” Si Jingxu interrupted Chen Buyu’s thought of saying no. “Talk to Brother Jingxu.”
Shen Buyu pondered for a moment, then said, "Alright."
She recounted the people she encountered at the company, including Jiang Li, who made her listen to the radio every day with sarcastic remarks.
Fang Qi is someone who has connections and influence, even trying to win over students who come to study there.
There's also Zhang Luo, who was easily bribed with small favors and became wholeheartedly devoted to spreading bad things about others.
However, she didn't mention her name, referring to her only as A, B, and C throughout the entire text.
Si Jingxu listened quietly.
“Don’t go away,” he said. “Just do your job and don’t try to avoid them. Let them do whatever they want.”
He wanted to see what kind of trouble someone of this caliber could cause.
“I know that if I deliberately avoid them, they will think I am easy to bully and will harass me even more. I just stand there and confront them head-on. They will then have to think twice before they dare to cause me trouble.”
"Wow, you've grown up." Si Jingxu put his arm around her shoulder. "How about I give you a gift to celebrate your growth once again?"
"What gift?" Shen Buyu didn't refuse; he could always find an excuse to accept it anyway.
"It's nothing, just some jewelry." Si Jingxu got up and carried over a pile of luxury items, placing them on the table.
It's a very common, but very expensive brand.
This is unlike what he would normally send.
"Why give this?" Shen Buyu looked at it; it was mostly watches, bracelets, and necklaces, along with some small accessories.
“Starting tomorrow, you’ll have to wear these things every day.” Si Jingxu pinched her cheek. “These will serve as a warning to those who want to cause you trouble.”
Anyone who works at that company can definitely tell the difference between real and fake ornaments.
She wears clothes worth five or six figures every day, and she never wears the same thing twice. Those people should think about whether they have the means to mess with her.
"Is this what you mean by 'clothes that intimidate petty people'?" Shen Buyu understood.
"Smart." Si Jingxu nodded. "You must not dress too plainly."
"Oh..." Shen Buyu finally understood. "The car I bought was too beat-up, wasn't it?"
If you own a car worth millions, you shouldn't just drive a used car.
Driving a car worth hundreds of thousands can make others treat her more politely.
She acted impulsively because of what her teacher said and wanted to find a car that was readily available, so she went straight to the used car market.
Now that Si Jingxu has said that, she feels a little regretful.
Eighteen thousand.
I should have taken a taxi. It's only a month, it wouldn't have cost that much.
"Alright, don't worry about your 18,000 yuan," Si Jingxu said with a smile, patting her head. "I'll reimburse you for the car purchase. Just drive it whenever you want. You only need to wear these things."
Anyone who knows a little about cars would know that her car has been modified.
Someone will naturally explain for her in due time.
It's just a small car; as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.
Shen Buyu reacted quickly, pressing down on Si Jingxu's phone to stop him from transferring money. "I have money. The stocks you recommended to me have all gone up, and I sold them at their highest points. I have more cash flow on hand now than my brother does."
She's just stingy, not poor.
"Shall we eat?" Si Jingxu asked, propping his head up with one hand and smiling broadly. "And then go for a stroll outside before curfew?"
He doesn't like taking walks.
When it comes to exercise, he prefers more intense activities.
Taking a stroll after a meal is not suitable for him.
But ever since he got together with Shen Buyu, he wanted to be with her all the time.
After a good meal, like an old married couple, they hold hands and go for a stroll.
Talking about the kids and scolding Long Yu is quite satisfying.
“Hey,” Shen Buyu stopped and pointed to a bench by the river not far away, “Isn’t that Brother Long Yu and Sister Lin Xia?”
Si Jingxu squinted at him.
On the riverbank at night, his aunt leaned on the shoulder of Long Yu, that fool.
Even just from behind, you could feel the kid's grin stretching from ear to ear.
"Heh," Si Jingxu sneered, "Little Feather, do you want revenge?"
"Huh?" Shen Buyu took out his phone and took a few nice photos of the couple over there before Si Jingxu pulled him over.
"Hey, who's this so late at night?" Si Jingxu said lazily. "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Shen Buyu covered her face with one hand; she understood what revenge meant.
Before Long Yu could even wipe the smile off his face, he turned around and saw his good brother.
"Hey, Jingxu and my sister, you're here for a stroll too?" Long Yu chuckled twice. "Go ahead, go for a walk, the scenery over there is nice."
“I think this place is perfect.” Si Jingxu looked out at the river and exhaled a breath of stale air. “My girlfriend and I just want to enjoy the breeze here.”
