Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 290 We can't leave now.

"Xiaoying! How are you?" Su Wen asked Su Ying anxiously, then lowered his voice and asked, "Did this guy give you any trouble?"

Su Ying patted the back of his hand to reassure him.

"Have you two had breakfast? Would you mind if we joined together?" Xiao Shen leaned back in his chair, his hands clasped in a tower shape. Even though he was sitting still, his innate, strong aura was already spreading through the air.

Su Wen and Shen Qingfeng exchanged a glance.

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Xiao. There's no need for rebellion. Su Ying has been away from home for many days and has caused you trouble. We've come here today specifically to bring her back!" Shen Qingfeng spoke first, his attitude humble and polite, impeccable.

Xiao Shen raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Take her back?"

She chuckled lightly, "Dr. Shen, you're making it sound like I'm bullying her. Look at her, she's eating and sleeping well here, she's enjoying herself immensely!"

Su Ying almost burst out laughing. This jerk, he still has the nerve to say that.

Shen Qingfeng remained calm and composed. "I believe what Mr. Xiao said, but this is not her home, and Mr. Xiao is already engaged, so it is not appropriate for her to live here!"

Xiao Shen tapped his fingertips on the table, his eyes fixed on Shen Qingfeng, a sharp glint hidden in his dark eyes. "Whether she's suitable or not is none of anyone else's business. Oh, by the way, who are you to her?"

“I am her…” Shen Qingfeng clenched his fists, looked at Su Ying, and hesitated to speak.

He initially wanted to say that he was Su Ying's boyfriend and that he should get her away safely no matter what. But then he thought that it would be disrespectful to Su Ying to do that. Would she be willing to accept that?

Su Ying wanted to respond to this, but when she thought of Xiao Shen's immense power, she worried that if she said something to upset him, it would implicate Shen Qingfeng and Su Wen, which would be a loss.

She doesn't need to take this risk just for a moment of pleasure.

"I am her friend!" Shen Qingfeng said without any confidence.

Xiao Shen laughed, rubbing salt into his wound. "Oh, so you're just a friend. I thought you were my boyfriend. In that case, what right do you have to ask me for you back?"

This rhetorical question undoubtedly slapped Shen Qingfeng in the face.

Shen Qingfeng's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

Su Wen pulled him back slightly, smiling and maintaining a humble but not timid demeanor. "Fourth Master Xiao, I am Xiao Ying's brother. I must have the right to speak, right?"

Xiao Shen shrugged. "Then you'll have to ask her opinion. If she's willing to go with you, I won't stop her!"

"Thank you, Fourth Master Xiao!" Su Wen walked to Su Ying's side, pulled her along, and said, "Xiao Ying, let's go!"

I pulled it a few times, but it wouldn't budge.

"Sakura?"

Su Ying looked apologetic. "Brother, you and Dr. Shen should go back first. I'll go back after I've finished dealing with things here!"

Su Wen couldn't understand. "Why? What else is there for you to deal with here? Come back with me right now, my bar needs you!"

Su Ying brushed his hand away, her mind made up, "I can't leave now!"

“You…” Su Wen laughed in exasperation.

"Miss Su, the salad looks good today!" Xiao Shen raised his chin.

Su Ying immediately swapped the salad with the one in front of him.

Xiao Shen lifted his eyelids, his eyes filled with ambiguity, "My hand is not in a good position, so I'll have to trouble Miss Su!"

Su Ying gripped the knife and fork and fed the salad to the man's mouth.

Xiao Shen opened his mouth and took her in, his eyes fixed on Su Ying, the atmosphere extremely ambiguous.

Su Wen's mouth dropped open; he never expected Su Ying to act this way. Finally unable to bear it any longer, Su Wen rushed forward and pulled Su Ying close, saying, "Xiao Ying, do you know what you're doing?"

Su Ying looked at Xiao Shen, "Fourth Master, could you give me a few minutes? I'd like to have a few words with them!"

"Of course!" Xiao Shen acted very generously, wiped his hands, and went upstairs gracefully. When he passed Shen Qingfeng, he cast a disdainful glance at him.

He wouldn't even consider a junior doctor a threat!

Once everyone left, Su Wen raised his voice, "Xiao Ying, are you crazy? How could you associate with someone like Xiao Shen..."

"Brother, I'm not crazy, and I'm perfectly normal. You guys should leave now. If Xiao Shen changes his mind, no one will be able to leave!"

"I just don't understand, why won't you come with us? Or have you been brainwashed by him and are you really going to be with him? Sakura, you can't! This person is too dangerous. You're just playing around with him. You won't be happy with him!"

Su Ying's expression was grave. "Since you know he's dangerous, you shouldn't have come with Dr. Shen. If I go with you now, do you think he'll end this easily? I know Xiao Shen too well. He's a madman, capable of anything. The more you go along with him, the more he'll lose interest and give up. Su Wen, listen to me, go with Dr. Shen quickly. Even if you combine your efforts, you can't defeat him. If he wanted to do something to me, he would have done it already, he wouldn't have waited until now!"

“But…” Su Wen looked at Shen Qingfeng with sympathy.

Shen Qingfeng looked at Su Ying with concern, "Since Su Ying has her own ideas, let's not cause her any trouble. I trust her decision!"

Su Ying smiled and looked at Shen Qingfeng, "Thank you, Dr. Shen!"

"But you have to promise me you'll take good care of yourself, and if you need anything, you must call us!"

Su Ying nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I will!"

The second floor.

Watching Shen Qingfeng give Su Ying a heartfelt hug before leaving on the screen, Xiao Shen's handsome face turned ashen.

Although he was very satisfied with Su Ying's answer sheet, he found Shen Qingfeng extremely annoying.

Fine, he wants this man to witness firsthand how Su Ying becomes his woman; that would be the most painful punishment and warning.

……

On the other side, Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Ruonan fell into a sweet relationship after opening their hearts to each other.

During the day, Ning Zhiyuan was at the construction site, so Xiao Ruonan learned to cook. Although she wasted a lot of materials and almost burned down the kitchen several times, she finally managed to make a normal bowl of noodles.

However, despite the saltiness, Ning Zhiyuan still provided ample emotional value, which made Xiao Ruonan very happy.

Although life away from the Xiao family was that of an ordinary, poor person, it was fulfilling and happy for Xiao Ruonan, as long as Ning Zhiyuan was by her side.

That day, Xiao Ruonan wanted to give Ning Zhiyuan a surprise, so she cooked a meal in advance and delivered it to Ning Zhiyuan at the construction site.

It was her first time at the construction site, and she was stunned by the scene before her as soon as she got out of the taxi.

Dust filled the air, and scrap metal was piled up everywhere. Workers in loose, greasy clothes moved around the site.

Xiao Ruonan was almost bumped into by a worker carrying a woven bag. She reflexively dodged and was afraid that the other person would get her clothes dirty.

God!

How can such a place still exist in the world?
Xiao Ruonan stopped a worker, covering her nose with a hint of disgust, and asked, "Excuse me, where is A-Lie?"

Although she knew Ning Zhiyuan's real name, she still habitually called him A-Lie, because Ning Zhiyuan might belong to someone else, but only A-Lie belonged to her.

The worker pointed in a direction.

Xiao Ruonan brushed the dust off her face and stumbled toward that direction.
