Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot by Beautiful Crescent

Chapter 618: 394 The tenderness in a dark room, the taste of an affair is hard to bear.

“Why don’t you go greet them?” Huo Qingi seemed not to have noticed her embarrassment, but who knew, his

lips appeared to be on fire.

Blazing fire was pouring down, numbingly hot.

“Not... it’s not convenient,” Shen Shuci’s voice quivered a bit, muffled in her throat because of the recent

blunder, her face was somewhat flushed.

Compared to her usual casual and straightforward demeanor, she now showed a bit of a young girl's shyness.

“Why?”

“Because...”

The stuwas too small, and his voice could only resonate around, feeling a bit like it was in 360-degree

surround sound, hoarse and deep—

Irritating!

If Shen Shuci hadn't called Tang Wan, even if they were caught, they could say it was a chance encounter,

especially since they indeed hadn't ctogether. However, she had lied earlier and then in a flurry dragged

him into the repair room...

Now what would it look like if they both appeared?

Even if it was innocent, she feared Tang Wan wouldn't believe it.

“You don’t want people to know we are together?” his voice was heavy, “Am | that shameful?”

“No, it’s not about you, it's me...”

“What about you?”

Shen Shuci didn’t even know how to explain why her relationship with him was always such a mess.

At that moment, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang’s voices cfrom outside, and they stopped speaking...

Shen Shuci hung her head, the space was cramped, she was almost buried in his chest; only then did she realize,

her wrist was still caught in his grip, and she instinctively tried to break free...

But he didn’t let go for a moment, pulling and tugging!

Not knowing what they touched, “clack—" a sound, the lights in the room went out, the sealed space was pitch

black, with only a sliver of light seeping from under the door, sight was rendered useless.

In such an environment, being so close to a man, Shen Shuci felt somewhat panicky at the bottom of her heart.

She reached out instinctively to touch where the switch was, trying to find it...

Yet unintentionally, she touched his hand again.

“Letdo it—" his voice was even closer now.

In the darkness, Shen Shuci thought she could hear her own rapid heartbeat, and his breaths, occasionally

landing on her face, regular and rhythmic, one after another...

So warm that it was alarming at the bottom of her heart.

She couldn't see, and felt as though their breaths were entangled, as if they were whispering sweet nothings, he

was feeling for the switch, she could feel their clothes brushing against each other...

Barely there, her nose seemed to graze under his chin, or perhaps his neck.

An asphyxiating sensation of rubbing cheeks, irritable at heart.

Shen Shuci clenched her teeth, why hadn’t Wanwan and Jiang Jinsang left yet.

Choosing wristwatches wasn’t an easy task, Tang Wan didn’t see any couple’s watches she liked, just saw a few

men’s watches that were nice, so she thought about buying one for her father and godfather, spending quite a

lot of time.

“This is a gift for someone, he’s out of town, about the warranty issue...” Tang Wan looked at the clerk.

“National joint warranty, lifetmaintenance, just bring the warranty card with you.”

“Okay.”

Tang Wan bought a watch for Tang Yunxian and Zhou Zhongging each, the clerk needed to wrap them up,

process the payment, which took smore time, so they stayed in the watch store for nearly half an hour.

ok

When they left, the old master knocked on the door, “They're gone, you can cout now.”

When they cout, Huo Qingqi still had a blank expression, but Shen Shuci’s face was flushed, not only from

the stuffiness of a small space but perhaps something else had happened...

The old master’s look towards them was even more teasing, at this stage, and still claiming nothing was going

on.

Nowadays young girls really were stubborn.

Shen Shuci took the receipt that was previously written up, collected the repaired watch, and left the store with

Huo Qingi, and she couldn't help but look around cautiously as she left, fearing Tang Wan would pop up from

somewhere.

“Do you still need to work?”

“Yes.”

“How did you get here?”

“By taxi,” Shen Shuci wouldn't have driven, coming and going, the cost of gas wasn’t cheap.

“Ill take you.”

“I...” after just undergoing such an embarrassing incident, how could Shen Shuci have the heart to stay with him

any longer? She was about to refuse when suddenly, he pressed down on her shoulder, unprepared...

She bumped right into his embrace, nearly half-hugging her as they walked towards the elevator entrance.

“Huo...”

“Xiaowu and the others are behind!”

Shen Shuci instinctively wanted to look back, but the man pressed his voice low, “Don’t look back!”

Forceful and allowing no refusal—

Then, the two of them entered the elevator in an extremely intimate embrace, heading for the underground

parking garage.

Once inside the elevator, Shen Shuci’s face was so red it looked like smoke was about to erupt from her cheeks.

What the hell was going on? Things were getting more and more complicated.

“They didn’t follow us,” Huo Qingi said, looking down at her.

“Mm,” Shen Shuci took a deep breath, feeling like this might be the death of her.

This feeling, akin to having an affair, was truly unbearable.

Meanwhile, Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang were in another store, still looking at wristwatches. There was a great

selection of women’s watches, and she was considering buying one for Shen Shuci.

“Auntie’s birthday is coming up soon, | don’t know what to get her...”

“A watch would be nice.”

“What do you think of this one...”

ok

The Huo family was getting impatient waiting in the underground parking garage.

Huo Qingi shopping was always quick and efficient. Paying and checking out never took more than 5 minutes,

and now he had been gone for almost an hour. Even a trip to the restroom wouldn't take this long unless

constipation was an issue.

“Should we go up and check? Surely nothing’s happened.”

“Ill stay here, you go look.”

Just as the two were dividing tasks, they saw Huo Qingi stride out of the elevator, and the next second, Shen

Shuci followed him out.

They were both dumbfounded!

Weren't they supposed to be buying a watch? Why was Miss Shen here too? Shouldn't she be at work at the

company? How did she end up here?

The two of them hurriedly got out of the car...

“Am | seeing things?”

As soon as he said this, he got a hard kick from the person beside him.

“Fuck, what the hell are you doing?” He dared not exclaim and just had to bear it.

“Does it hurt?”

“Letkick you, and you tellif it hurts.”

“That proves it's not your eyes playing tricks; it’s real!”

Soon they were in the car, and as it sped away from the mall, Shen Shuci finally let out a sigh of relief...

And at that moment, Huo Qingi’s phone vibrated again, “Hello, Zeyan.”

The call was from Qi Zeyan.

“Do you have tright now?”

“Is there a problem?”

“Didn't you mention you wanted to

adopt a cat a while ago? A work

Qi Zeyan glanced at the person beside him, “I'm a bit busy here and can’t cwith you, but he should be free

tomorrow.”

“That's fine.”

Huo Qingi hung up and soon received sphotos on his phone.

Shen Shuci vaguely heard something

“Which one do you like?”

The Huo family members were completely baffled...

Had it already progressed to this stage?

“You're asking me?” Shen Shuci liked all of them.

“I can’t decide.”

“I don’t know how to choose either, they're all adorable.”

“Do you have plans after work tomorrow?”

“I don’t.”

“I'm going to pick up the cat, if you're interested, you could cwith me.”

“Okay.” Shen Shuci ultimately gave in to temptation.

The Huo family’s worldview was toppled yet again...

Were things really this blatant now?
