Chapter 44: In your previous life, you never planned to go this far with me
"Then it's decided. Based on the opinions of the three of you, I'll give you another month. During this time, Xi Liu can no longer live in that house, nor can he live in the house under your name, to avoid the same thing as before..."
Shen Yunshu extended his hand and made a friendly suggestion: "I have a good one that can meet many requirements..."
"He won't live in your house. With your personality, if you install surveillance cameras in it, this agreement will be invalidated." The head of the Shen family knew the conflict between the two people very well, and he made the final decision, "I will have someone choose another suitable place. I hope that all parties will be satisfied with the result by then..."
Shen Xiliu did not agree with the current discussion results and expressed his opposition, saying in a chilling tone: "I don't think you respect my opinion. This will do me no good."
"What else? It was you who said you didn't want to be marked by a stranger. Now I'll give you time to get to know him." said the head of the Shen family.
Hearing this, Shen Xiliu gave Qi Yan a cold look, his expression revealing annoyance. If he hadn't made some stupid suggestions, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
“……” Qi Yan lowered his head to drink water without saying anything. He also didn't expect that the head of the Shen family would listen to his advice and make the decision so simply and ridiculously.
There was no way, the situation was too confrontational, Shen Yunshu insisted on forcing Shen Xiliu to be marked by him, but Shen Xiliu refused to be marked, and the two people's opinions could not exist at the same time.
So in order to break the deadlock, the head of the Shen family chose to ask the opinion of the third person present.
Qi Yan, who had been in hiding for a long time, didn't want to get involved and offend these people, but since Master Shen asked, he would answer, at least to get away with it for now.
So it is suggested to give Shen Xiliu some time. No one wants to be labeled by an unfamiliar stranger, especially when it is just for medical treatment and there is no emotional basis for the other person. Although they have known each other for two months, they have only said a few words to each other, so it would be better to give Shen Xiliu some more time.
Qi Yan's original intention was to delay time. What if there were other ways by then?
Who would have known that after the Shen family's comprehensive opinions, they would suggest living together. This was not a bad idea of living together in a 500-square-meter apartment like before, each living their own life, but really living together.
He is not afraid that the two sides will dislike each other more and more as they live together. He is probably a hidden destiny-follower.
Seeing that Shen Xiliu still disagreed, the head of the Shen family said calmly and steadily: "Or, do you want to be locked up with Mr. Qi Yan by Shen Yunshu and drugged? As a patient, you should have fewer opinions."
Shen Yunshu clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile: "This is a good idea! One medicine can cure a thousand worries. Just give it to me directly. Are you afraid that the stream will not obey? In the end, I am too humane and choose to respect you."
Qi Yan thought, how dare you say such a thing? Also, at least respect me. I don't want to be drugged and turned into a beast...
Surrounded by three members of the Shen family, Qi Yan chose to remain silent. In this situation, it would be better for him not to have any sense of existence, just take the money and do his job well.
Shen Xiliu finally agreed, because under Shen Yunshu's continued instigation, the head of the Shen family accepted the idea of confiscating all his cards and asked him to stay at home and think about it for a while. If he continued, his situation would only become more unfavorable.
Shen Yunshu asked him to think carefully about his physical condition and whether it could support him to continue being willful. It was just a mark, why did he have to make such a fuss?
After all, in this day and age, even permanent marks can be washed off.
The matter was settled. No matter how reluctant Shen Xiliu was, he could resist Shen Yunshu, but he could not ignore his uncle who raised him.
However, Shen Xiliu did not expect that his uncle would be so ruthless. Not only did he make him move to an empty apartment, he also froze all his cards and prohibited his life assistant and housekeeper from participating in his life. He said that if he could live a carefree life with only 2,000 yuan, he would definitely have no problem...
"Mr. Shen, are you okay?"
After looking around this empty apartment, Qi Yan could only say that the elders of the Shen family were really cruel. Apart from furniture such as sofas and tables, there was not even a bed here. Everything had to be purchased again.
He didn't feel anything when his quality of life suddenly dropped from the highest level to the lowest level, but it must have been a big blow to Shen Xiliu, right?
Shen Xiliu said nothing, his expression was very cold, he was checking the properties under his name, and sure enough, all of them were frozen.
"How much money do you have?" Shen Xiliu took a deep breath.
Qi Yan looked at him: "Hmm? Me?"
Shen Xiliu said sarcastically: "Besides you and me, is there an invisible third person here?"
Qi Yan said: "I can't help it. I thought you would ignore me forever."
"It wasn't necessary before." Shen Xiliu said coldly. He has always followed his heart. Naturally, he would not look at or communicate with people he disliked. But now that he has fallen into this situation, he will not continue to maintain a lofty attitude.
That's not arrogance, that's stupidity.
In short, at least we have to get through this hurdle first. Shen Xiliu was not a person who would let himself be wronged. Since he had no money, he would use Qi Yan's money first. Unfortunately, the other party was too poor and only had more than 20,000 yuan on him, which made Shen Xiliu frown.
When signing the contract, he paid Qi Yan a deposit of five million, but two months later, only this much was left?
The doubt didn't stay in Shen Xiliu's mind for too long. He didn't care what Qi Yan did with the money. He said calmly, "With this little money, it's not even enough to buy a bed."
Qi Yan was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs and playing with his phone. Hearing this, he said casually, "Then don't buy something so expensive. Just go to the furniture store and buy a bed. It'll only be a month anyway, so just make do with it."
“Oh, Mr. Shen, you have to be careful. I only have this little money, and you only have two thousand in your hand. So, this actually includes our living expenses for this month. I don’t think your elders will provide you with this.”
Shen Xiliu: “…”
He silently returned the card to Qi Yan, as if he couldn't understand how such a small amount of money could be used as living expenses, especially after purchasing daily necessities, there would not be much left.
"You decide." Shen Xiliu knew that Qi Yan was more calculating than him in this regard and knew how to get by.
Qi Yan raised his eyes to look at him, propped up his chin with one hand and smiled: "Okay, there is still some time now, let's go buy the bed first. The funds are limited, so just buy one. Mr. Shen, you sleep on the bed, and I can just sleep on the sofa..."
"Okay." Shen Xiliu said coldly, "I will pay you back double afterwards."
"OK." Qi Yan responded indifferently.
Regardless of whether this deal goes through or not, he has made enough money from this matter and doesn't care about anything else.
But the young master was too picky after all. It was very difficult for him to choose a bed. He either thought it was not soft enough, or it was too hard and not elastic enough...
“Mr. Shen, are you the reincarnation of the Princess and the Pea?”
After visiting two furniture stores, Qi Yan came up with a new idea.
Shen Xiliu frowned, a hint of doubt appearing on his cold and arrogant face.
"Did you bring me to this mess on purpose to choose a bed? I don't see any suitable ones."
"If you compare it to your own bed at home, there really is no comparable one."
“After all, the price is there.”
"...I'll think about it again."
Chen Xiliu began to doubt his life.
"Okay, just keep an eye on the time. It's almost six o'clock. It's time for dinner."
The eldest young master is indeed difficult to serve, Qi Yan thought. What if he wants to go to his usual store later? I guess this money is not enough for him to eat once.
…
"Qi Yan, is this bed too soft? It's not suitable for an elderly person to sleep on, right? If it really doesn't work, I'll ask someone to make it custom. What do you think?"
After asking many questions in a row, Shen Xiliu didn't hear any answers, so he turned his head to look at him. He noticed that Qi Yan was a little distracted, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him: "What are you thinking about?"
Qi Yan grabbed his hand reflexively, and looked at Shen Xiliu with a confused expression: "What's wrong?"
"I should be the one asking you this. What are you thinking about?" Shen Xiliu frowned slightly and looked at him with some concern. "Are you too tired? If you are too tired, why don't we go back and rest first? It must be because you are too busy with work after returning from vacation."
Shen Yunshu is a complete workaholic. He likes to do research and often drags other researchers to work overtime and stay up late with him. Although Qi Yan is not a formal employee of the institute, he is often asked by Shen Yunshu to be his assistant. In addition, he has a lot of things to do. In short, he is a person who is not idle at all.
"Everything at work is fine, you don't have to worry about it. I guess I didn't sleep well on the sofa last night." Qi Yan came back to his senses and smiled at him.
Shen Xiliu stared at his face, which was too pale: “Is it really just like this?”
"Don't worry, go back and have a good sleep tonight, and you will definitely be in good spirits tomorrow."
Qi Yan held his hand and continued walking forward: "Just choose the bed you liked before, don't change it, let grandpa and the others sleep on the bed at home, I'll use the one I chose today. Let me see if there's anything else I want to buy today..."
Shen Xiliu stared at his profile for a while, and held his hand with a little force: "Qi Yan, at this time, I think it will be a little late to deliver the goods. How about you come to my house to sleep tonight?"
"Hmm?" Qi Yan looked back at him. "Come to think of it, both upstairs and downstairs are yours. If it really doesn't work out, it's no problem to stay there for a while."
Shen Xiliu: "I'm talking about the one opposite yours."
He felt a little helpless. Qi Yan was obviously misinterpreting his meaning. Perhaps he didn't want to live there.
"I know, but if I really lived across the street, I would probably be scolded by my grandparents." Seeing his expression, Qi Yan rubbed his nose and said, "I don't want to start a live broadcast for you again..."
We were just together to look at furniture, but our family suspected that we were getting married behind their backs. If we moved next door, things would probably be even more out of control.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiliu recalled the discussion he heard on the computer last night, as well as Qi Yan's embarrassed expression when his family members said that, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't this interesting? Speaking of which, you haven't answered the question I asked you last night. What, haven't you thought of the answer yet?"
——When will we get married?
Qi Yan: “…”
It's a terrible choking problem.
"Or, you actually didn't intend to go this far with me?"
