Ling Shen was taken aback when Qian Sui called directly via video. He paused for a moment, then pressed the answer button.
The video opened, and a fair-skinned, delicate-looking woman appeared on the phone.
Yes, it really is fair and tender.
Chisui, who had just finished showering, was wearing a white and pink headband and a white lace nightgown. She was applying skincare products to her face and didn't have time to reply to Ling Shen's messages, so she called him instead.
Qian Sui patted her face, looked at Ling Shen appearing on her phone, felt a little amazed, and laughed like a child.
"Wow, it really is Ling Shen."
Ling Shen was amused by her expression and replied, "What, you still think I'm fake?"
Qian Sui placed her phone on the table and looked in the mirror as she applied skincare products, naturally making a video call with Ling Shen.
"Because Xiao Liu said that some people use WeChat to scam others, and told me not to trust others easily."
Xiao Liu?
Ling Shen countered, "Who is Xiao Liu?"
Chitose: "Xiao Liu is the one who drives me to school."
Ling Shen roughly understood that Xiao Liu must be the driver. He had been exhausted from work these past two days, and this was a rare moment of relaxation where he didn't have to think about work. Seeing such a fair and tender Qian Sui made him feel instantly cheerful.
Following her words, Ling Shen replied, "What could I possibly lie to you about?"
“Emmm,” Chitose thought about it seriously for a moment, then said, “It’s a scam.”
I was amused again in the early hours of the morning. He was supposed to be the youngest genius in the business world, with a net worth of tens of billions, but in Qian Sui's eyes, he was just someone who could use WeChat to scam money.
Ling Shen suddenly remembered what Qian Sui had said last time: she wanted to go home and steal her brother's money for him to spend.
Ling Shen then asked, "If I were to cheat you out of money, would you give it to me?"
Qian Sui nodded: "Yes, my brother has a lot of money anyway."
Ling Shen was very satisfied. As expected, she was a sister who would cause trouble for her brother. He liked her.
Qian Sui's relationship with Ling Shen was different from his relationship with others. Ling Shen was the first person Qian Sui could call a friend after he came down the mountain, and Ling Shen also had the Seven Killings destiny.
In short, he was a very special person to Chitose.
I haven't seen you for the past few days. You've encountered a lot of things, and you have nowhere to talk about them. It's really uncomfortable to keep it all bottled up inside. Before, when you were in the mountains, you could confide in the animals.
There are some things she doesn't want to tell her brothers, for fear that they will worry.
So now that she's started talking to Ling Shen, Qian Sui can't stop talking; she's completely opened up.
“I recently went back to school, but some of my classmates aren’t very nice to me.”
Ling Shen's brow twitched, and he gave a casual "oh," signaling Qian Sui to continue.
Qian Sui said, "They don't seem to like me very much. They even threw a volleyball at me today."
Upon hearing this, Ling Shen frowned. He knew that the school was full of snobbish people, but the Qian family was of high status, and Qian Ci doted on his younger sister so much that Ling Shen assumed Qian Sui was treated well at the school.
But now that Ling Shen heard Qian Sui say this, he was puzzled. Could it be that Qian Sui went to school without announcing that she was the youngest daughter of the Qian family?
After thinking it over, this must be the reason.
Qian Sui went on and on about some things, and Ling Shen listened attentively.
Ling Shen listened while eating, then casually asked, "Did it hurt when you got hit by a volleyball?"
Qian Sui nodded: "A little bit, but I fought back too. Master said that we shouldn't fight casually, but he also said that if you are bullied, you should fight back. Not fighting back is condoning bad people."
When Qian Sui said this, his tone was very smug.
Ling Shen began to imagine Qian Sui's angry retaliatory look after being hit by the ball, just like a little kitten with its fur standing on end. Although it was pitiful, the scene was very cute.
Chisui has a very regular schedule, and before we knew it, it was time for her to go to bed.
Qian Sui took her phone from the table to the bed, then lay down under the covers to chat with Ling Shen. As they chatted, she couldn't help but yawn.
Feeling sleepy, Qian Sui asked Ling Shen, "Why are you eating so late?"
Ling Shen began to lie through his teeth: "The wages are very low, and you have to work long hours before you can afford to eat."
Qian Sui actually believed it and said, "My older brother put a lot of money on my meal card. When you come back, I'll treat you to a meal."
Ling Shen smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll head back quickly."
Chisui closed his eyes and did not answer.
Her breathing was even, and her sleeping face was adorable.
Ling Shen was eating with a knife and fork when he saw that she had fallen asleep, so he stopped eating and was afraid that the sound of the knife and fork hitting the plate would disturb her.
Ling Shen watched Qian Sui sleep, his phone close to her, and in the video he could see her skin, which was as tender as a baby's, and her long, curled eyelashes.
As Ling Shen was looking around, the waiter suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"gentlemen...."
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Ling Shen gestured for him to be quiet.
The waiter understood and immediately lowered his voice: "Sir, would you like to order more food?"
Ling Shen shook his head: "No need, it's late, I should go home and sleep."
Ling Shen took his phone and went back to the hotel. He turned off his own sound the whole way and listened to Qian Sui's even breathing as he made his way back to the hotel.
Along the way, the night breeze was peaceful and the night sky was clear.
It was a beautiful night no matter how you looked at it.
Ling Shen returned to the hotel without hanging up the phone. He left his phone on the desk while washing up, and when he came out, Qian Sui seemed to be sleeping even more soundly.
Ling Shen dried his hair, sat down at his desk, and without hanging up the phone, placed his phone in front of him and began to focus on the documents he would need for tomorrow.
He was focused on processing the documents, and every now and then he would look up and see Chitose on the other end of the phone.
Suddenly, he felt that this feeling was somewhat strange.
To be precise, he and Qian Sui had only known each other for a short time and had only met once, but their video chat was far too ambiguous, as if they had known each other for a long time and were very familiar with each other.
Furthermore, Ling Shen would never do such a thing.
If Lu Jiayan knew that the first thing he did after adding Qian Sui on WeChat was to connect with her via video call, he would probably think that Qian Sui was his weakness and that he would use Qian Sui's affairs to threaten him and gain benefits in the future.
For example, this time, I used Qian Sui's WeChat to bring up the issue of a salary increase with him.
Even Ling Shen couldn't quite believe that he would do such a thing.
He put down the documents in his hand and looked up at the sleeping Chitose on his phone.
The sleeping girl has a sweet face. When she is asleep, she loses the unruly nature she has when she is awake and looks like a docile kitten.
They really are harmless.
Ling Shen reached out and touched the beauty mark under Qian Sui's left eye in the video, through the screen.
"Long live the Emperor."
He murmured Qian Sui's name, his voice filled with a tenderness and doting affection he himself had never imagined.
