Beijing-Hong Kong Rosemary

Chapter 108 A Little Bit Promising, Shen Guining
"Guining is sensible, obedient, and beautiful. President Shen is so lucky to have such a niece."

"Who can argue with that? We can only be envious."

Shen Guining remained unmoved by such hypocritical pleasantries. She knew perfectly well that these words were only spoken out of respect for Mr. Qu.

These people in front of her are all prominent figures in Hong Kong's entertainment circle. They have family wealth and ability, and they consider themselves superior. They used to look down on her.

"It seems that the Shen family and Dingsheng Group will be cooperating for a long time from now on." President Ding's words were loaded with meaning, and he was also testing Mr. Qu's attitude towards the Shen family.

Shen Honglin didn't dare to say anything out of turn, fearing that he might displease Qu Yanci and suffer more losses than gains.

Shen Guining did not want Qu Yanci to be associated with the Shen family again because of personal matters.

Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to mention: "The project is just a small matter. As long as Ningning has a share in Shen's, it is only right for me to invest."

Such blatant protection stunned Shen Guining, her gaze momentarily blank before she immediately understood his intention.

Mr. Ding smiled and said, "Gui Ning is Mr. Shen's only granddaughter, so she must have a place in the Shen family, right, Mr. Shen?"

Shen Honglin's expression stiffened slightly, but he nodded nonchalantly after a moment, "Of course."

Qu Yanci lowered his head and casually asked the little girl, "Do you have a share in the Shen family?"

Shen Guining suddenly came to her senses, "It seems that my grandfather left me some shares, but I've never seen them."

Suppressing his panic, Shen Honglin quickly said, "You child, you were still young when your grandfather passed away, so I naturally took care of you. I've always been thinking of giving it to you after you get married."

His words were impeccable and dignified.

But everyone present was shrewd; how could they not guess Shen Honglin's thoughts?

The excuse of "managing on behalf of others" is probably just a pretext; he probably wants to take it all for himself, even scheming against his own niece.

“She’s already an adult and capable of managing her own shares; there’s no need to wait until marriage.” Qu Yanci’s voice was indifferent, yet the pressure remained undiminished. He concluded by asking, “What does President Shen think?”

Shen Honglin felt a chill run down his spine and dared not refute, "Mr. Qu is right. I will have my lawyer prepare the transfer agreement another day."

"Then let's hurry up. She's going to Beijing next week. If she needs any assistance, I have a lawyer here who can help." After saying that, Qu Yanci ended the conversation and spoke to Shen Guining as if no one else was around, "Let's go eat. Didn't I say I was hungry?"

Enter the private room.

Shen Guining tugged at Qu Yanci's sleeve, "Actually, you don't need to help me like this."

His investment in Shen's company was not only worthless, but also carried great risks.

“You’ve got some ambition, Shen Guining.” Qu Yanci curled his lips slightly, his gaze locking onto her eyes. “Shares are nothing. As long as you ask, the entire Shen Corporation can be yours.”

Others might call this arrogant, but when he says it, it's the truth.

Shen Guining's heart skipped a beat, and she said softly, "What do I need Shen's for? I don't know how to manage a company."

Qu Yanci smiled and said, "I don't need you to worry about it. Just wait for your year-end bonus."

Shen Guining pouted, "Forget it, I don't want what isn't mine."

She only wants what's rightfully hers; she doesn't care about the rest.

Qu Yanci pinched the soft flesh on her face, "Pretty silly."

Shen Guining pushed his hand away and covered her cheek. "Why do you keep pinching me? You've made my face bigger."

Qu Yanci raised an eyebrow, "Will it get bigger if I just pinch it?"

Shen Guining nodded. "Otherwise what?"

His gaze was meaningful. "So it happens in other places too?"

Shen Guining realized what was happening, and her ears quickly turned hot. "Don't say anything."

He's better suited to the aloof and ascetic persona.

We finished our meal at 8:30, and the driver had already arrived at the restaurant entrance.

Before returning to the hotel, the car detoured to the pet store to pick up Ruby.

Shen Guining affectionately rubbed its head and laughed, "Ruby, your hairstyle is so cute, your head is so round."

"Awoo..." It understood praise and happily snuggled into Shen Guining's arms. Qu Yanci crossed his long legs, leaned back in his seat, and said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "Don't let it rub against you."

Shen Guining explained for Ruby, "It's had a bath, it's very clean."

Qu Yanci frowned. "So it's okay for me to pounce on your chest?"

Shen Guining froze for a moment, then silently pushed Ruby away slightly. "...It wouldn't understand this."

She didn't even notice until he said anything.

Who would think of that?

Besides, Ruby is a young girl, okay?

Back at the hotel, it was still early, so Shen Guining settled on the sofa and found a movie to watch.

A film released last month has received both good box office and critical acclaim.

She was too busy recently and didn't have time to go to the cinema, but now she can watch it on TV for a fee.

It's a suspenseful comedy, and the beginning is quite relaxing.

Qu Yanci sat beside her, even though he wasn't interested at all.

Shen Guining leaned into the man's arms. Halfway through watching, she suddenly noticed that Xia Qi had a cameo role in the film. "Aci, your sister is in it!"

As she spoke, she turned to look at Qu Yanci's features, "You two have very similar eyebrows and eyes."

The Qu family's genes are just too good; they have faces like model-made ones, you can't find any flaws.

Xia Qi became a sensation in the entertainment industry early in her career thanks to her face. However, she was young and lacked acting skills at the time, so she was heavily criticized. She then spent a long period of time away from the public eye, disappearing for three or four years. Everyone thought she had retired from the industry, but unexpectedly, she returned to the entertainment circle with her work.

"I've always had a question I wanted to ask, but I wasn't sure if I could."

Qu Yanci saw right through him, "You want to ask about Xixi."

"Hmm." Shen Guining was afraid of touching on some taboo subject. "Can I ask?"

Qu Yanci succinctly stated, "It was an accident; the father left, but the son remained."

Shen Guining exclaimed in surprise, "Leave the father behind and keep the son? That sounds pretty cool..."

Qu Yanci lowered his eyes, raised his hand and pinched her chin, "What do you mean? You want to learn?"

Shen Guining denied it, "Of course not!"

Having children is a topic that's too far removed from her life.

"It'd better not be." Qu Yanci turned the little girl's face towards him and lowered his head to kiss her.

Shen Guining's mouth was blocked by him, and her words were muffled, "Um... watching a movie..."

At first it was just kissing, but later it gradually became unsatisfying.

They were so familiar with each other's bodies that sparks would fly if they got too close.

Under the crystal chandelier, every expression of despair and loss of control was magnified.

Shen Guining placed a cushion under her lower back to cushion the impact.

A low moan escaped her lips unconsciously, further stimulating the man's senses.

Only at times like this did Qu Yanci want to see her cry.

Before we knew it, the movie had ended.

Shen Guining, drenched in sweat, took a breath and leaned against him, complaining, "Who is the murderer? I didn't even see the ending..."

Qu Yanci chuckled softly, his chest vibrating slightly. "I'll take it back and let you watch it again."

Shen Guining thought about it and decided to give up. "Never mind, I'm sleepy."
