Chapter 88 The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 88 Progress: Any Moves, Do We Have a Car?
Sheng Mingsi coldly glanced around, furrowing his eyebrows, then turned off the speakerphone.
"Did Xixi do something again? Tell me, and I'll help you teach him a lesson."
Ye Xi stepped back, raising his hand to show innocence. "This has nothing to do with me. She came on her own!"
"No, Brother As, it's..."
Jiang Chenchen stopped her words at her lips. Could she tell him about this? Zhan Momo specifically instructed her not to tell anyone, and she promised not to.
However, not revealing who it was could still be considered keeping her promise.
So she said, "Someone asked me to invite him. Please don't tell Ye Xi."
Sheng Mingsi's expression eased slightly. "Who is it?"
"I can't say."
"Can't I say it either?"
"I'm sorry, I can't."
"Never mind." Sheng Mingsi didn't press the matter. "I'll be back soon."
Jiang Chenchen felt elated upon hearing this. "Okay, I'll wait for you, Brother As. I also have a New Year's gift for you."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Mingsi thought of the half-knit sweater sleeve she had made. Could it be that?
He cleared his throat. "Sure."
Then he hung up.
The others on the other end seemed unbothered by this. However, they had experienced the calm before the storm.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Mingsi appeared calm and not angry.
"Just do whatever; I'm leaving."
As they watched him leave and disappear from sight, Ye Xi and Zhao Shitian exchanged a glance. It seemed like he really didn't care?
Qin Chi leaned against his seat, looking relaxed. "Maybe things aren't as they seem."
Ye Xi and Zhao Shitian looked at him, asking, "What?"
"Explain it clearly!" Ye Xi scratched his head and asked again.
The orange tufted hair stood up, looking not too intelligent.
Qin Chi glanced at him coldly and said, "Aren't you going to find out by going to the appointment?"
"Cut it out." Ye Xi tossed a chopstick at him. "Are you really brewing some big move to deal with me? It's not my fault, okay? Maybe your sister is tired of you. Don't you need some self-reflection?"
Zhao Shitian threw another chopstick at him. "Shut up! You're always hopping around on the edge of death. One day, if you really die and nothing is left, you won't even know the reason!"
Ye Xi caught it, or rather, he maintained a handsome posture with both hands, displaying a confident smile.
Others: ...
This guy's condition is relapsing; there's no cure.
.......
Sheng Mingsi drove back and received a call when he was about to reach home.
He glanced at it and had no intention of answering.
But the calls were persistent.
So he frowned and answered, "What is it?"
The anxious voice of Gu Mingmei came through, "Miss Sheng suddenly fainted and lost consciousness. I've taken her to the emergency room. Hurry over!"
Sheng Mingsi looked ahead and furrowed his brows, then turned the car in another direction.
...
Jiang Chenchen huddled on the sofa and almost fell asleep.
Although Sheng Mingsi had called, asking her to sleep and not wait for him, this was the first time she spent New Year's with him, and she wanted to wait and see.
Glancing at the time, it was already midnight.
The first day of the lunar new year.
After some consideration, she sent a message.
"Happy New Year."
Then she thought again and sent another one with a "love you" and a cascade of hearts and rainbows.
But there was no response from the other side. She didn't know why he didn't come back as promised. Weren't they supposed to welcome the new year together and set off fireworks?
She clutched the phone tightly in her hand.
Suddenly, the phone rang, startling her.
She gripped the phone tightly in her hand.
The sudden ringtone startled her.
Quickly checking, it wasn't Sheng Mingsi.
It was Ye Xi.
After some thought, she decided to answer.
"Jiang Chenchen! How dare you play tricks on me!" Ye Xi's agitated voice echoed through the 108th floor of Jingao Tower. "You better think about how to apologize to me!"
"I'm sorry..."
That apology came too quickly.
Ye Xi was stunned for a moment, then continued in agitation, "No! Not sincere enough."
Jiang Chenchen took the phone away from her ear and placed it on the coffee table, putting it on speaker. "So, what do you want?"
Ye Xi laid down a condition, "I'll remember this account, and you'll have to pay me back in the future!"
"Fine."
"Why do people you know have the same violent tendencies as you?" He gritted his teeth.
"What?"
"That woman dared to hit me!" Ye Xi's fair face still had red marks. "You know I never hit women, but she kept pestering me and even resorted to violence. I won't let her off! I won't spare her!"
Anger surged.
Jiang Chenchen said, "But she just wanted to see you."
"Brother doesn't want to see her." Ye Xi, looking out at the fireworks through the floor-to-ceiling glass, suddenly turned serious. "I don't like women who cross the line."
However, after maintaining this tone for half a minute, he returned to normal. "Tell me, did you cause trouble for me? Getting slapped for no reason, do you think you should apologize and compensate for it?"
Jiang Chenchen asked, "What do you mean by crossing the line?"
"It means that we agreed on something, and once it's crossed, there's no room for mercy." Ye Xi continued like a playboy, "Let me tell you, Young Master Sheng dislikes being too sticky. If you give him some space, he'll be more attracted to you!"
He lowered his voice and gossiped, "Tell me quietly, how far have you guys gone?"
Jiang Chenchen was puzzled, "What do you mean by 'how far'?"
"Uh, that, does he have a car?"
"Yes."
Ye Xi's eyes lit up, nearly losing control of his voice, "Damn, Young Master Sheng is impressive! I thought he was a celibate, but turns out he's a beast too!"
Jiang Chenchen felt he was going on and on without end, not really interested in listening.
So she said, "I'm hanging up; I want to sleep."
Ye Xi had forgotten about the slap he received. "Ah, chat a bit more. For example, how is he at driving? Is he wild?"
The call had already ended.
He still had the expression of discovering a new continent on his face, but such things couldn't be shared in the group; otherwise, Shao Shao would eliminate him.
But it could be discussed privately.
When he got in the elevator, he suddenly realized, why was Jiang Chenchen so indifferent even about these things? She said whatever she wanted without any hesitation. She's too naive.
Regret! Why didn't I meet her earlier!
...
Jiang Chenchen hung up the phone and realized that Sheng Mingsi had actually returned, not knowing how long he had been standing at the entrance!
His face showed fatigue and shock, and his hair was slightly disheveled.
His facial features were icy, his eyes exceptionally deep black. He still held a sparkler in his hand, indicating he rushed back.
"Brother Ah si! You're back!"
Jiang Chenchen quickly got up from the sofa and walked towards him.
When Sheng Mingsi saw her coming, he seemed unable to face her.
Why did she use speakerphone during the call? He heard everything, including discussions about driving prowess and other things.
Did she even understand what she was saying!?
