After Flirting with the God-Tier Beautiful Tycoon - Chapter 27

When she woke up again, Shen Xiaojiang was sleeping on the carpet.

The room was empty and quiet Chen Yi had already left.

She lazily got up, scratching her messy hair.

In the empty room, there was a faint fragrance.

Suddenly, she saw her phone placed on the TV cabinet.

She walked closer and saw the phone was charging on a wireless charger.

There are wireless chargers in this world, how could I have forgotten?

Shen Xiaojiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Just then, she noticed a piece of paper held down by a glass of water next to the charger.

The paper had “Xinghui Hotel” written on it in gilded font.

In the blank area, a row of words was written with a black pen.

The handwriting was neat, elegant, and strong.

Shen Xiaojiang couldn’t help but put down her phone, pick up the note, and read the text aloud.

“‘Your phone automatically shut down. I took the liberty of charging it without your permission, so I apologize first,'” Shen Xiaojiang was first taken aback, then gave an embarrassed smile, her face slightly flushed, her eyes a little warm. “What permission, what not allowed…”

It was just a phone. As long as Chen Yi wanted it, she could take it.

Forget the phone, if Chen Yi blushed and acted coquettishly, Shen Xiaojiang would even give her life.

Then, she stopped reading out loud.

[No need to tidy the blanket; someone will come to clean up at nine.]

[There are fruits and sandwiches on the dining table. I didn’t know what you were used to drinking in the morning, so I ordered a cup of everything. Drink whatever you like.]

[Be sure to eat well, you need energy to study.]

Shen Xiaojiang walked to the dining table and removed the insulated cover.

Good heavens!

A fruit platter and two sandwiches of different flavors.

Chen Yi’s “ordered a cup of everything” was meant literally.

Soy milk, coffee, milk, hot chocolate, strong tea…

Shen Xiaojiang held her forehead with one hand, unable to stop her face from smiling broadly.

After eating and drinking her fill, she prepared to return to school.

However, there was a problem now.

Where were her clothes and shoes?

This was a bit awkward…

“Ding dong” The room doorbell rang.

A woman in a black professional suit appeared at the door, smiling, carrying two paper bags with the same logo printed on them.

It was as if the time had been calculated, or perhaps she had been waiting at the door all along.

“Hello, Miss Shen, right?” The woman’s work badge read “Lobby Manager.”

Shen Xiaojiang nodded a little awkwardly.

The woman handed her the bags and continued to smile politely: “Hello, Miss Shen, these are what CEO Chen asked me to bring to you.”

Shen Xiaojiang glanced at them; one bag contained clothes, and the other contained shoes.

She was a little confused, “Are these… for me?”

She wasn’t very familiar with brands, but just by looking at the packaging, she knew these items were expensive.

She couldn’t accept them.

Noticing Shen Xiaojiang’s confusion, the woman said, “Your clothes have been sent for dry cleaning, and it will take a while.”

“But these are too valuable, I can’t accept them,” Shen Xiaojiang handed the bag of clothes back to the lobby manager, her attitude firm.

The lobby manager didn’t rush and asked, “So, Miss Shen plans to go out in her pajamas?”

Shen Xiaojiang shook her head.

The set of pajamas she was wearing also belonged to Chen Yi and was also quite expensive.

Moreover, if she wore this set of BV pajamas to class today, she would immediately be the center of attention on the school forum!

The lobby manager smiled faintly: “Then, does Miss Shen intend to wait until the clothes are washed before leaving?”

Shen Xiaojiang was about to say yes, but she had Professor Mao Tou’s specialized class this morning.

This person was extremely punctual and absolutely could not be late.

She hesitated.

The lobby manager glanced at the time, “Miss Shen, CEO Chen has arranged for a driver downstairs to take you to class.”

She pushed the bag of clothes back toward Shen Xiaojiang as she spoke, “This is to solve an immediate problem.”

As expected of Chen Yi’s person, their way of speaking was exactly like hers.

Shen Xiaojiang couldn’t refuse any longer and agreed, “Okay, I will wash them clean and return them.”

The lobby manager said no more, politely smiling and exiting the room.

The tags on the clothes were cut off, which was very thoughtful, Shen Xiaojiang thought.

The top was a hazy blue shirt, the material was very light and soft.

The loose, ankle length pants were a light khaki color, which looked fresh and very scholarly when paired together.

It was a style Shen Xiaojiang liked.

However, the color of these shoes was not quite her usual style.

A wine-red canvas upper with off-white laces.

Shen Xiaojiang stared for a long time before compromising.

“Anyway, it’s better than hotel slippers,” she murmured to herself as she put on the shoes.

Washing clothes was one thing, but why did she also wash her shoes?

Shen Xiaojiang looked at the new shoes, a smile creeping onto her lips.

How long had it been since she bought clothes and shoes, all in an effort to save up 10,000 yuan as soon as possible?

She couldn’t remember, it had been a long time anyway.

After changing her clothes, Shen Xiaojiang grabbed her bag and left the room.

Just before the door closed, she felt a slight reluctance. She turned her head and took another look at the room.

In that glance, she noticed something on the shelf in the entryway.

A lollipop jar.

She had seen it last night, but hadn’t paid much attention to it.

However…

Shen Xiaojiang lowered her gaze and slowly opened her mouth: “Strawberry flavor?”

The Rolls-Royce drove straight to the entrance of the teaching building.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Shen Xiaojiang quickly got out of the car.

If it weren’t for being almost late, she would absolutely not have let the car drive all the way here.

Shen Xiaojiang was not a vain person, nor did she like to show off.

She felt that external things made her inconvenient and uncomfortable.

She was indifferent to fame and fortune and disliked making friends based on money and status.

As the saying goes, intentional efforts may not yield results, while unintentional actions can lead to success.

Shen Xiaojiang’s self-confidence, openness, and lack of vanity or competitiveness, being her authentic self, instead attracted those with money, power, and status.

But this also brought some unkind rumors.

For example, right now, she overheard a few boys quietly discussing that she was dating a rich patron.

Shen Xiaojiang didn’t even bother to give them a dismissive look, pouting, “Humans with mouths yet barking like dogs.”

“Jiang! Over here!”

Shen Xiaojiang and Professor Mao Tou entered the classroom one after the other.

Upon entering, she saw Sun Jiabao’s hand raised high.

After Shen Xiaojiang sat down, she took the textbook for today’s class from Sun Jiabao’s hand and quietly said, “Thanks.”

Shen Xiaojiang listened carefully and took detailed notes, putting the matter of Chen Yi aside for the moment.

After class, Shen Xiaojiang and Sun Jiabao went to the cafeteria together.

As soon as they walked out of the teaching building, Shen Xiaojiang felt the space beside her empty. She turned around blankly and asked Sun Jiabao, “What’s wrong? Don’t want to go to the cafeteria?”

Sun Jiabao crossed her right arm over her chest, resting her left hand on her right arm, her finger resting on the edge of her lower lip, adopting the posture of a great detective solving a case.

She frowned slightly, “Jiang, you’re different today.”

Although it was a question, the tone was not one of questioning.

Shen Xiaojiang nervously cleared her throat: “How am I different?”

“Clearing your throat? Clear it again!” Sun Jiabao finished speaking and her eyes fell on Shen Xiaojiang’s shoes.

“What is it?” Shen Xiaojiang pulled her feet back.

“Hey, don’t move,” Sun Jiabao squatted down and slowly combed her bangs with a small pink comb. “You, you can’t lie. Whenever you lie, you clear your throat.”

“Nonsense!”

Sun Jiabao grinned mischievously: “These shoes aren’t yours.”

Shen Xiaojiang cursed silently; this person was incredibly sharp-eyed.

“I bought them yesterday,” Shen Xiaojiang replied.

Sun Jiabao stood up and circled Shen Xiaojiang, “The clothes and pants are your style, did you buy those yesterday too?”

“Mhm,” Shen Xiaojiang nodded.

“Tsk tsk tsk…” Sun Jiabao leaned closer to Shen Xiaojiang, put her arm around her neck, and squinted her eyes: “Sister, tell me honestly, what were you doing last night?”

Shen Xiaojiang genuinely couldn’t lie, nor did she want to.

But the image of Chen Yi’s lips, Chen Yi’s fingers, and everything about Chen Yi flashed before her eyes.

Should she tell Sun Jiabao that she had fallen for her best friend’s own aunt?

Shen Xiaojiang hesitated.

What if Chen Yi didn’t want anyone else to know?

Moreover, kissing did not equate to dating.

There was a fundamental difference between the two.

So, now was not the time to say anything.

Shen Xiaojiang quickly blinked, deciding to evade the question.

“Jiang, you have a little secret!” Sun Jiabao used the comb to lift Shen Xiaojiang’s chin.

Shen Xiaojiang brushed the comb away, gently knitting her brows.

Sun Jiabao’s expression was exaggerated: “Oh my! Oh my oh my oh my! Sister, you couldn’t possibly be, actually in love?”

Shen Xiaojiang paused, a look of disdain on her face.

“I’m not.”

Sun Jiabao withdrew her hand and elbowed Shen Xiaojiang, “What does he look like? Do I know him?”

“Stop it. Do you still want me to tutor you for Professor Mao Tou’s class?” Shen Xiaojiang was an academic high-achiever. No matter how difficult the course was, she basically understood it thoroughly after hearing it once.

There were many people who chased after her for notes and begged for after-class guidance!

She had the leverage. As long as she didn’t give in, Sun Jiabao couldn’t force her.

“Yes, yes, yes!” With that, Sun Jiabao linked arms with Shen Xiaojiang and they walked forward together.

The third cafeteria was exceptionally crowded today, and the queues at the serving windows were very long.

Shen Xiaojiang and Sun Jiabao were at the very end of the line, which seemed endless.

“Ugh, how long are we going to wait!”

“Ugh, this is so annoying. If there are so many people eating lunch, why can’t they open a few more windows!”

“I’m starving!”

Sun Jiabao complained beside her.

Shen Xiaojiang wasn’t picky about where they ate, but she was genuinely hungry, too.

She smoothed her hair, and her meal card dropped to the floor.

Shen Xiaojiang calmly bent down to pick it up.

Suddenly, a hand reached the meal card before hers.

It was slender and delicate, like scallion white, like jade, and even the fingernails were more refined and elegant than average.

Beautiful beyond words.

Their fingertips touched, and Shen Xiaojiang suddenly looked up.

Her heart involuntarily sped up when she met those amber eyes.

“Thank you,” she said.

“You’re welcome,” Chen Yi said.

Today, Chen Yi was wearing a deep green velvet Qipao, with small sleeves and delicate buttons.

Her exposed skin was contrasted to look even fairer and more luminous.

Her waist, like a water snake, was so slender it could be encircled with one hand.

She wore light makeup today, making her whole demeanor more refined and gentle.

She was truly beautiful beyond comparison.

She didn’t need to do anything; just standing there could attract everyone’s attention.

“Aunt, why are you here?” Sun Jiabao hopped over to Chen Yi, her joy evident.

“To supervise the work,” Chen Yi’s tone was calm.
