Chapter 91
Jiang Shaobai patted Jiang Shaoyu on the shoulder and said, “Relax. Little sister-in-law’s medicine works like a charm. And don’t avoid treatment just because you’re embarrassed. Once you’re cured, your next girlfriend won’t be able to cuckold you, right?”
Though he was saying words of comfort, Jiang Shaobai’s eyes were full of gloating.
Jiang Shaoyu was annoyed. Then, thinking of something, he asked, “Why are you so sure little sister-in-law’s medicine works so well?”
The smile on Jiang Shaobai’s face froze instantly.
Jiang Shaoyu realized the possibility and immediately started laughing too, gloating as he said, “Don’t tell me you’ve taken this medicine before?”
Jiang Shaobai coughed and pretended to be calm. “My wife and I have a perfectly harmonious sex life. We have absolutely no need for this kind of medicine.
“I know because I bought it for a friend.”
“Really?” Jiang Shaoyu clearly didn’t believe him. “Then why do I remember running into sister-in-law a few months ago when she was taking you to register at the men’s clinic?”
At Jiang Shaoyu’s words, the others, who had originally been sizing him up, all turned to look at Jiang Shaobai, their gazes carrying the same pity.
Looked like the Jiang Family genes weren’t up to par. Both brothers had problems.
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
Jiang Shaobai had only run his mouth a little, never expecting to drag himself into it too. He instantly regretted it.
As for the others, seeing that Jiang Shaobai had already tried the medicine and that it seemed to have worked, they all got trial packs from Xia Sheng as well.
Even if the medicine didn’t work, buying it from Xia Sheng would at least make them a little more familiar in front of Shen Yanchen.
Xia Sheng opened her payment code and collected the money. In an instant, several thousand yuan arrived in her account.
Compared to the money she had earned from fortune-telling before, this wasn’t much, but even a mosquito’s leg was still meat.
Besides, this was the first step toward building a reputation for their virility supplement. It counted as a good start, so Xia Sheng was in quite a good mood.
After taking the money, she casually donated half of it to a charity foundation, then happily put her phone away.
Seeing the little girl in such a good mood, Shen Yanchen couldn’t help the slight curve of his lips.
Although there still wasn’t much expression on the little girl’s bun-like face, Shen Yanchen somehow felt as if there were a little tail swaying back and forth behind her, expressing her current delight.
He was just about to say something when a staff member walked over with his phone. “Mr. Shen, your call.”
Shen Yanchen glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was a business partner he had been in frequent contact with recently.
Shen Corporation was currently in talks with this partner over a project, so he couldn’t very well ignore the call.
He let Xia Sheng know, then took his phone to the side to answer it.
Jiang Shaoyu called Xia Sheng over to play golf. Xia Sheng didn’t know how, so she asked Jiang Shaoyu, “Could I ask you to teach me how to play?”
“No problem.” Jiang Shaoyu was warmhearted by nature and agreed readily. He walked behind Xia Sheng and was just about to bend down and hold her hands to teach her when he felt a cold, sharp gaze shoot toward him from the side.
Jiang Shaoyu turned his head slightly and met Shen Ninth Master’s eyes, cold to the point of seeming utterly devoid of emotion.
Jiang Shaoyu’s entire body jolted. Belatedly realizing something, he hurriedly backed up several steps and kept a safe distance from Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng turned back in confusion. “You’re not going to teach me?”
Jiang Shaoyu gave an awkward laugh.
He did want to show off a little in front of a beauty.
But he didn’t have the guts.
“Actually, my golf skills aren’t that good. Why don’t you wait for Ninth Master to teach you instead?”
Xia Sheng felt that his change in attitude was a little too abrupt and found it somewhat strange, but she didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she turned to look at Shen Yanchen and quietly waited for him to finish his call.
Noticing that the young woman was waiting for him, Shen Yanchen’s tightly pressed lips curved into a gentle smile. He said to the person on the other end of the line, “Contact Lu Ren about any follow-up issues. I have something urgent to deal with.”
With that, he hung up before the other party could respond.
The business partner on the other end: “?”
Urgent?
Wasn’t President Shen supposed to be relaxing at the golf course right now?
What kind of emergency could possibly be more important than a collaboration worth hundreds of millions between their two companies?
On this side, after Shen Yanchen hung up, he turned off his phone and handed it to the caddie, then walked toward Xia Sheng.
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s fine.”
Shen Yanchen walked up behind Xia Sheng, bent down, and wrapped his arms around her from behind, helping her hold the club.
After arriving, Xia Sheng had changed into a pair of athletic shorts. Her long, fair legs were exposed, and now they were pressed close against the man behind her. She could faintly feel the heat of his body at her back.
For some reason, Xia Sheng suddenly felt her cheeks grow a little hot.
“…Did you understand everything I said?”
“Huh?” Shen Yanchen’s question suddenly sounded beside her ear, and Xia Sheng froze for a second. “What did you just say?”
“I was teaching you how to grip the club.” As Shen Yanchen spoke, his deep gaze fell on the girl’s reddened eartips. Amusement softened his brows, and his thin lips brushed close to her ear as he asked quietly, “What were you thinking about just now?”
His warm breath slipped into her ear along with his voice. Xia Sheng trembled slightly and silently shrank forward.
However, she was half-held in Shen Yanchen’s arms right now. Even though she tried to retreat forward, she was still very close to him.
Xia Sheng steadied herself. “I was thinking about refining medicine.”
“Is that so?” The smile in Shen Yanchen’s eyes deepened.
Xia Sheng did not answer his question. Pretending to be calm, she said, “What did you say just now? I didn’t hear it clearly. Say it again.”
Shen Yanchen could tell she was thin-skinned, so he stopped teasing her and taught her how to swing in earnest.
Jiang Shaobai watched from the side and couldn’t help quietly complaining to his cousin, “Yanchen usually looks all proper and respectable. I didn’t expect him to be this smooth in private. He’s taking every chance to take advantage of a little girl.”
Jiang Shaoyu had only just been stared down by Shen Yanchen a few times. He still hadn’t recovered from it.
Hearing his cousin’s complaint, he said, “If you’ve got so much to say, why don’t you say it louder?”
Jiang Shaobai laughed. “I’m not as reckless as you. You actually tried to hug the Ninth Master’s girlfriend right in front of him.”
Jiang Shaoyu felt wronged. “Xia Sheng was the one who asked me to teach her just now. It’s not like I was trying to take advantage of her. Sure, I like pretty women, but I still know who I can flirt with and who I can’t afford to provoke.”
Who would have thought he was only trying to help out of the kindness of his heart, and Shen Ninth Master still got upset?
Being a good person was hard.
Sigh.
A macho man shed tears of grievance.
Wah, wah, wah.
The group played until evening before calling it a day.
Shen Yanchen drove Xia Sheng home. When they arrived downstairs, they happened to run into Fang Rong, who had just returned from grocery shopping.
Shen Yanchen walked over to Fang Rong and naturally took the bags of groceries from her hands. “Let me carry those for you.”
“No need. It’s just a few things. I can carry them myself.” Fang Rong smiled. “Brother Shen, I’ve troubled you again to bring Sheng’er back. Come upstairs and have dinner before you leave.”
Hearing Fang Rong call him Brother Shen, Shen Yanchen’s expression stiffened slightly.
Xia Sheng couldn’t help laughing a little too. Now she understood why Shen Yanchen had refused to call her Aunt Fang before.
The seniority really was a mess.
