Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 145 Misunderstanding
"Did you touch my things?"

"I... I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I didn't mean to, I just..." Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Shen pushed her aside.

After carefully inspecting the contents of the box, the man's composed expression gradually returned to normal. He closed the lid, shut the drawer, and glanced at Qian Ke'er with a icy gaze. "Who gave you permission to enter my building? Who gave you permission to rummage through my things?"

"No, I saw you weren't here, so I wanted to come in and wait for you. Okay, Brother Shen, I misunderstood you before! So you do have feelings for me, right?"

Xiao Shen frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Qian Ke'er pointed shyly towards the drawer, "It's that diamond hair clip! How did you know I'd taken a liking to it? Thank you, Brother Shen, I never expected you to prepare such a surprise for me!"

It turns out that her Shen-ge is a slow-to-warm-up type and not good at expressing his feelings, but that's okay, as long as she likes him, that's enough.

Xiao Shen's eyes darkened further. "A surprise? I think you've misunderstood!"

Qian Ke'er was taken aback, her smile fading. "What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless. Get out. From now on, you're not allowed to enter my building without my permission!" Xiao Shen raised his chin.

Qian Ke'er followed him downstairs in a daze. Suddenly realizing something was wrong, she spread her arms to block Xiao Shen. "Brother Shen, what did you mean just now? Was that hair clip not meant for me?"

According to Xiao Shen's temperament, he would say whatever he thought, but this morning the old man put pressure on him, forcing him to give face.

So instead of answering directly, he said, "I have a video conference to attend, why don't you go back first!"

Qian Ke'er understood, but avoidance was even more terrifying than acquiescence. She persisted and refused to give Xiao Shen any way out, "If this hair clip isn't for me, then who is it for? Is it for that woman? I've known for a long time that you have a woman, Brother Shen, tell me, who exactly is that woman?"

Xiao Shen suddenly turned his head to look at her, his tone even colder, "Qian Ke'er, you've crossed the line!"

Qian Ke'er's chin was clenched, her expression hurt. "As expected, Brother Shen, you still haven't accepted me. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you to accept me? Besides, I'm the one who truly likes you. Who knows what that vixen is up to? Brother Shen, don't be fooled by her. She's definitely after your money and status. I've seen plenty of women like that; they're filthy. Who knows how many men she's been with before..."

"enough!"

Xiao Shen roared, the veins on his forehead were faintly visible, and Qian Ke'er was shocked and her eyes turned red instantly.

"My affairs are none of your business. Men, escort Miss Ke'er out!"

"Yes!"

Qian Ke'er shook off the bodyguard, "Brother Shen, it doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I will definitely find out who that woman is!"

After saying that, she ran out with a heartbroken look on her face.

Xiao Shen's sharp gaze swept over them. "Who let her in?"

A bodyguard stepped forward shakily, "Yes, Fourth Master, it's me..."

Xiao Shen lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose. The next second, he suddenly turned around and kicked the bodyguard two meters away, sending him rolling to the ground. "You can't even stop a woman? What use are you to me? Get out!"

"Oh!"

"Snapped!"

"Boom!"

"Miss, please don't! I promise I'll never do it again, please forgive me!"

"If I spare you, who has ever spared me? This plate of mine is imported from Milan; it's worth more than enough to buy your dog's life. Tell me, how should I punish you?"

"Waaah, Miss, I really can't afford to pay 500,000. How about this, I'll be your slave for the rest of my life, okay?" "Sorry, I have plenty of slaves, I don't need you. How about this, I'll show you a way out: you kneel down and lick all the soup and water off the ground, and I'll accept the 500,000. How about that?"

Seeing the maid forced to kneel down and lick the floor when she had no other choice, Qian Xingjie, who was peeking through the window, exclaimed "ruthless!"

"Young Master, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by your men for hiding here and peeking?"

Mu Sha appeared behind him without his noticing, and Qian Xingjie immediately straightened his clothes, resuming his serious demeanor. "Ahem! What am I afraid of? It's just a little melon!"

He paused, then became gossipy, "What's wrong with Ke'er now? As soon as she came back, I could tell she looked off, and then she started throwing and smashing things. Look how she's tormenting people. Where am I supposed to find so many servants for her in the future?"

Speaking of this, Mu Sha felt very sorry for her mistress and said indignantly, "It's all because of that Fourth Master Xiao. I don't know the specifics, but Miss was very aggrieved after leaving his mansion. I don't know how Fourth Master Xiao bullied her. Where in our Qian family has Miss ever suffered such grievances?"

Qian Xingjie chuckled twice. "You don't understand, do you? If you want to be together, you have to go through a period of adjustment. If you can get along, you'll make it work. If you can't, you're destined not to be together. Even if you are together, you won't be able to live together. Plus, Ke'er is too strong-willed. Tsk tsk!"

Musa stared at him suspiciously. "Young Master, why do I feel like you don't want Miss to have a good life?"

Qian Xingjie chuckled, "Don't talk nonsense. She's my sister. As her older brother, who would want her to be happy if not her?"

After saying that, he knocked on the door and went inside.

"Hey! Ke'er, who upset you? Why are you so angry? Tell your brother, and I'll get revenge for you!"

Exhausted from her tantrum, Qian Ke'er waved away all the servants. Speaking of this matter, her eyes reddened uncontrollably again. "Brother, I just don't understand. You say I'm pretty and from a good family, so why does Brother Shen leave such an excellent girl like me to seduce those lowly, shameless vixens? What does she have that I don't?"

Qianxing sighed deeply, "Ke'er, relationships aren't as simple as you think. Xiao Shen is in a high position; what kind of woman hasn't he seen? The kind of person he is is someone who loves to challenge himself and enjoys the thrill of conquest. If you're too proactive, it will seem like you're too easy to get. To be honest, for men, women who are too easy to get are boring!"

Qian Ke'er pondered for a moment, "Then what do you suggest I do now? I can't just sit by and watch that vixen steal Brother Shen away, can I?"

"So you're just going to pretend you don't know? Don't break the ice. At least you can still have some contact. Once it's out in the open, based on my understanding of Master Xiao, he definitely won't bother pretending anymore!"

The viciousness in Qian Ke'er's eyes intensified. "No, I can't swallow this! I won't just stand by and watch Brother Shen be seduced by that vixen. That slut, I will definitely find her!"

Qian Ke'er's ruthlessness gave Qian Xingjie goosebumps.
