Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 175: Is he henpecked?
"Huh?" Su Ying looked down and saw it was her employee ID card. She hadn't even noticed when she'd lost it. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"

She crouched down, and when she stood up again, Xiao Shen was standing in front of her without her noticing. Caught off guard, she slowly stood up, almost touching him.

Well, it's not that Su Ying has too many dirty thoughts in her head, but rather that her affair with Xiao Shen seems to be ingrained in her bones, always making people unable to resist.

Back then, Xiao Shen took advantage of her being drunk and coaxed and tricked her into doing things she never dared to dream of. What happened just now was like a replay of history.

Thinking of this, Su Ying's face flushed again.

"Mr. Xiao, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my work now!"

Su Ying tripped over something and lost her balance, but luckily a large hand caught her waist in time.

Xiao Shen wore a wicked smile. "Assistant Su is nervous again. Be careful!"

Through the fabric, Su Ying felt the other person's fingertips intentionally or unintentionally caressing her waist, like an electric current passing through her, a tingling sensation traveling up her tailbone and thigh.

Su Ying quickly stood up straight. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao. I'll be going now!"

Having received Xiao Shen's approval, she turned and left, her steps neither too fast nor too slow, neither too relaxed nor too hasty, for fear that Xiao Shen would notice anything amiss, because she knew that he had been watching her every move.

Su Ying didn't dare to breathe until she got back to her office.

Judging from this, Xiao Shen should believe that she is Su Ying, not Nan Wu, right? Otherwise, there's no reason for him not to expose her now.

The real Nanwu was almost seamlessly connected to the family; she was currently with the Xiao family, so he had no reason to doubt her. At most, he would just think the two looked alike.

Nevertheless, Su Ying dared not relax, after all, right under his nose, a slight mistake could lead to her death.

Xiao Shen once said that he hated being deceived the most. Now that she has him completely fooled, if the truth is exposed, she will definitely be in deep trouble.

Never mind, she'll just deal with it one day at a time and find a reason to resign after a while.

A strong scent of perfume filled her nostrils, and Su Ying frowned, looking up.

"Assistant Su, did you know our CEO Xiao before?" Yang Xueli asked condescendingly, arms crossed.

Su Ying tidied up the clutter on the table, her tone perfectly natural, "How could that be? If we knew each other, I wouldn't just be a lowly assistant!"

Yang Xueli seemed relieved, and her tone softened slightly, "That's true!"

She paused, then asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, why wouldn't President Xiao let me in to serve? To be honest, I'm the prettiest in the whole company, and my education and abilities are also quite impressive. President Xiao has no reason to refuse me. Could it be that he's married? Is he henpecked? No way, if such a handsome man is henpecked, that would be really low, wouldn't it?"

As Su Ying listened to her self-questioning and answering, combined with her own imagination, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

Yang Xueli glanced around, leaned closer, and lowered her voice, "Assistant Su, tell me honestly, is our CEO Xiao actually single?"

Without even thinking, Su Ying replied, "Single, definitely single!"

"how do you know?"

"I'm just guessing. Men who are in love wouldn't have such a bad temper!"

Yang Xueli was overjoyed, as if she had found a kindred spirit. "Right? Right? I think so too. But what does it matter if he has a bad temper, considering his face!"

Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly turned around and warned, "To tell you the truth, I've taken a liking to President Xiao. He's mine, so don't try to take him from me!"

Su Ying: “…”

Take it all, take it all! We'd love for him to be taken away!

As soon as Su Ying left the company after work, she saw Shen Qingfeng waving at her from afar. He was wearing a light-colored trench coat, and no matter the occasion, he always had a smile on his face. He was gentle and refined, making people feel like they were basking in a spring breeze.

"Assistant Su, is that your boyfriend? He's so handsome!" a passing colleague joked.

Su Ying explained, "No, just a friend. You can't say things like that!"

"Oh, I understand, I understand, I promise I won't say anything nonsense!"

"No, he really isn't me..." Never mind, it would only make things worse. Su Ying walked down the steps and headed towards Shen Qingfeng.

"How did you come?"

"I got off work early today, so I thought I'd give you a free ride since I was passing by!"

With his explanation, it would be inappropriate for Su Ying to refuse again. The weather was turning cooler, and Haicheng's climate was not as stable as Ningcheng's. Being a coastal city, its coolness was damp, the kind that seeps into your bones. Su Ying hadn't gotten used to it yet, and since she was dressed in thin clothes, she couldn't help but shiver in the wind.

Shen Qingfeng noticed this and, as he spoke, took off his coat and draped it over Su Ying's shoulders. "The air in Haicheng is humid. The temperature seems similar to Ningcheng, but the feeling is several degrees different. It's better to have a coat on hand than not, so you don't catch a cold!"

As expected of someone who studied medicine, what they said was reasonable and well-founded.

Su Ying didn't put on airs. After saying thank you, she bent down and climbed in as he thoughtfully opened the passenger door.

The car drove away quickly.

Over here, Xiao Shen braced himself against the car door for a long time, his feet remaining motionless, his gaze following Shen Qingfeng's car until it disappeared.

His face was as dark as the night, terrifyingly black.

Song Hao was filled with regret. If only he had delayed coming down by two minutes, he wouldn't have run into Su Ying walking away with another man.

For Shen Ge, this was a blow to his dignity as a man.

"Check all the information about her lover!"

Upon hearing this, Song Hao almost burst out laughing. Brother Shen was actually calling someone his lover, but he himself clearly didn't have any status! "Yes, Brother Shen, I'll go investigate right away!"

……

Nan's Company declared bankruptcy.

Several banks and companies came to his door to collect debts. Nan Dongxue paid back part of the debt, but his financial resources were exhausted. He had no choice but to sell his belongings, otherwise he would face imprisonment if the other party sued him.

Once he goes to jail, he won't even have a chance to make a comeback.

Jiang Xue and Jiang Rourou were doing their skincare routines in the living room when Nan Dongxue rushed downstairs. "Xiaoxue, have you seen those antiques in my study?"

Jiang Xue sat up straight, feeling guilty, and stammered, unable to answer.

Nan Dongxue turned back and asked Jiang Rourou again, but Jiang Rourou was fiddling with her fingers and didn't dare to meet his eyes at all.

Nan Dongxue got angry, grabbed her wrist, glared at her and demanded, "I'm asking you a question, tell me now, did you move it? Give it to me right now, I need it urgently!"

"I don't know, Dad, I really don't know anything, please don't ask me anymore!" Jiang Rourou was so frightened that she couldn't speak coherently, and looked to Jiang Xue for help with her eyes.

Nan Dongxue then turned his attention to Jiang Xue, smashing all the bottles and jars worth tens of thousands of yuan on the coffee table with a single slap. The mother and daughter were so frightened that they hugged each other.

"Nan Dongxue, are you crazy? I spent over ten thousand yuan on this, and you smashed it after only using it a few times. Don't you even want to live a normal life anymore?"
