Shen Yanqing's usually gentle face was now cold as he strode towards the two of them.
Meeting his cold gaze, Shen Yao's eyes showed panic, but she quickly calmed down and smiled, "Brother Yan Qing, I'm here to apologize to Miss Gu for what happened yesterday."
As he spoke, he lifted the items in his hand and smiled at Gu Baiwei, saying, "Miss Gu, these are some skincare products I brought back from abroad. They are hard to find in China. Consider this my apology to you for what happened yesterday."
"I received your apology, but you don't need the gift."
Gu Baiwei didn't even glance at the items before directly refusing them; she dared not use anything belonging to Shen Yao.
Seeing that Shen Yao had really come to apologize, Shen Yanqing's cold expression softened considerably, and his gaze fell on Gu Baiwei: "Weiwei, weren't you going shopping today? I'll go with you."
Gu Baiwei was surprised that he would drop everything to come and keep her company after she casually mentioned it yesterday, and she was inexplicably touched.
Meeting her bright, sparkling eyes, Shen Yanqing smiled and naturally reached out to take her soft little hand in his: "Let's go."
His hands were large and warm, with a thin layer of calluses on his palms, but they were not rough.
Gu Baiwei let him hold her hand, her beautiful eyes curving into a smile: "Okay."
Beside her, Shen Yao, who had been completely ignored, silently took in the whole scene. Her hands, hanging down, clenched tightly, and her knuckles turned slightly white.
My gaze fell on those clasped hands, and I felt an intense urge to rush over and separate those eyesores.
She and Shen Yanqing had known each other for over a decade, and he had never accompanied her shopping, let alone treated her with such tenderness and care.
Why is it that this vixen, whom he's only known for a few months, can make him drop everything to be with her?
"Brother Yanqing, don't you have a meeting at your company this morning? Will you have enough time?"
She forced a smile and gently reminded him.
After saying that, he looked at Gu Baiwei and said with a troubled expression, "Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand. Brother Yan Qing's company has a very important project recently, and he has been quite busy. As his girlfriend, you should be more understanding."
Gu Baiwei couldn't help but frown upon hearing this. Shen Yao seemed to be thinking of Shen Yanqing in every way, but the underlying meaning was to remind Shen Yanqing how willful she was, taking up his important work time to accompany him shopping.
However, there was one thing she didn't know: Shen Yanqing had actually given up an important meeting to accompany her, just because of a casual remark she made yesterday.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say, "Yan Qing, if you need anything, I can go by myself."
Shen Yanqing held her hand but didn't let go: "It's okay, your matter is more important. I've already changed the meeting to the afternoon."
A seemingly casual remark, yet it stirred different thoughts in the two people present.
Gu Baiwei was moved, while Shen Yao gritted her teeth in hatred. Why? Why could Brother Yan Qing go to such lengths for this vixen?
Since the Shen family's businesses began to be laundered, Shen Yanqing has basically never taken a break. He is busy with work every day, and when he is busy, he even lives at the company.
She bit her lower lip, remembering her father's instructions, and forcefully suppressed the overwhelming jealousy surging in her heart.
Forcing a smile, she stepped forward and said, "Miss Gu, if it's convenient, may I come with you? I just returned to the country and I have a lot of things to buy."
Actually, her father had already prepared everything when she returned to China. She just wanted to find an opportunity to follow them and sow discord between the two of them.
As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling. She's already been so humble, she doesn't believe Gu Baiwei would have the nerve to refuse her.
Before Gu Baiwei could even speak, Shen Yanqing coldly and ruthlessly refused, "It's inconvenient."
He put aside his work to spend time with his girlfriend, not to be a third wheel.
Shen Yao was surprised that Shen Yanqing would reject her so decisively, and her face turned pale instantly, but she still refused to give up.
Turning his head, he smiled at Gu Baiwei: "Miss Gu, I just got back and I don't know anyone here. Could you talk to Brother Yan Qing and let me come along? I promise I won't bother you and will just follow you from a distance."
Gu Baiwei didn't have a good impression of Shen Yao. Yesterday she wanted to kill her, but today her attitude has completely changed. She even insisted on going with them. It's obvious that she has no good intentions.
So she refused without hesitation: "I'm sorry, Ms. Chen, it's not convenient."
After saying that, he let Shen Yanqing pull him towards the car.
Shen Yao watched the two figures disappear into the distance, biting her lower lip hard, her face gloomy.
The car drove away quickly, and she stood there for a long time, her face grim. She then threw what she was carrying onto the ground with a thud: "One day, I'll make you regret treating me like this!"
The various cosmetic boxes inside were scattered all over the floor. One of them rolled forward a few times before being picked up by a pale, almost bloodless hand.
A man in a black hoodie and black sweatpants appeared in front of Shen Yao, revealing a delicate but overly pale face beneath the black hood: "Miss Shen, do you want that man? I can help you."
A smile bloomed on the man's handsome, pale face. His dark, unyielding eyes looked at Shen Yao, sending a chill down her spine. It felt as if she were being stared at by a cold, venomous snake with its forked tongue flicking.
She instinctively felt this man was dangerous and took a step back: "Who are you?"
The man raised the corners of his lips and handed her the cosmetic box he was holding: "Of course, I'm the one who can help you."
...
Inside the mall, Shen Yanqing and Gu Baiwei walked slowly hand in hand, followed by Datou carrying large and small bags.
Every time they went to a place, Gu Baiwei was in charge of buying things, Shen Yanqing paid for them, and Da Tou was in charge of taking the items away. The three of them worked together very well.
Well, for Da Tou, who was conscripted into the army, there was a slight less than pleasant experience.
Gu Baiwei was walking slowly forward, holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, when Shen Yanqing suddenly turned his head to look at him, his deep eyes reflecting a glimmer of light: "Is it good?"
"It tastes good."
Gu Baiwei took a sip, answered, and then subconsciously added, "Want to try some?"
After asking, I realized that Shen Yanqing seemed to be a bit of a germaphobe and probably wouldn't want to drink anything she had drunk from. I should have bought two cups earlier.
But someone said they wouldn't drink then, and now they want to drink again?
While her mind was racing, Shen Yanqing bent down and leaned closer, his voice low and captivating: "Let me try it."
Then, without any hesitation, he took a sip from the straw she had used.
Big Head looked up and saw this scene. He immediately stared wide-eyed as if he had seen a ghost. Holy crap, what did he see? His boss was actually drinking Miss Gu's milk tea?
You know, the boss would never normally drink this kind of stuff, let alone drink something that someone else has already drunk.
However, before he could finish being shocked, he witnessed something even more astonishing.
