I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 44.2

Shen Yishu didn’t seem bothered by this. She merely raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “There’s rice noodles the kind you like. If you don’t eat them soon, they won’t taste as good.”

No one could resist a bowl of noodles in the morning, and Shi Xingrao was no exception. But having just declared she wouldn’t eat Shen Yishu’s cooking, changing her mind now would make her lose face. Besides, she was still angry about what had happened last night.

If she let it go so easily, Shen Yishu would surely dare to do it again next time. She absolutely wouldn’t go eat.

Shi Xingrao pursed her lips stubbornly. “I won’t eat.”

A faint smile tugged at Shen Yishu’s lips. This angry little rose was resisting her “tyranny” in her own way.

So this was what it felt like to be with Shi Xingrao this seemingly well-behaved, clever, mischievous kitten showing her displeasure like this.

Shi Xingrao could be both delightfully wicked and sulk when she couldn’t get her way.

Shi Xingrao was truly someone Shen Yishu could never tire of watching. Just when she thought obedience was all there was to Shi Xingrao, the girl would reveal a hint of mischief and play a clever trick. And just when she believed that a mix of obedience and mischief defined Shi Xingrao, the girl would show her a side of stubborn defiance.

Defiant resistance.

Shen Yishu walked over and gathered the little princess into her arms. “Auntie was wrong yesterday. Can you forgive me? Or is there something you want, Xiao Rao? As long as it’s within my power, I’ll give it to you.”

Auntie!

Shen Yishu actually dared to call herself “Auntie”! Shi Xingrao couldn’t even look straight at those words anymore.

Just thinking about it made her furious.

Shen Yishu really had some nerve, a woman who appeared so proper and aloof, yet played such wild games.

She had dared to provoke Shen Yishu yesterday precisely because she thought this tight-lipped gourd wouldn’t go too far. Who knew that while Shen Yishu might be lacking in words, her actions spoke volumes?

Honestly, Shi Xingrao felt that nothing could appease her anger right now.

After stewing in silence for two minutes, a sudden inspiration struck her.

Just as Shen Yishu was about to say something more to coax her, the girl in her arms threw off the blanket and climbed onto her lap. Shen Yishu’s gaze darkened. The girl was wearing a spaghetti strap dress, her collarbones delicate, her skin glowing white, and the small mole on her shoulder particularly eye-catching.

“Really, anything I want?”

Shen Yishu’s eyes couldn’t help but linger on the mole on Shi Xingrao’s shoulder. It was beautiful. She had once read that some moles on a person’s body don’t detract from their overall appearance but instead serve as the perfect accent like ink plum blossoms scattered on snow. The mole on Shi Xingrao’s shoulder was undoubtedly one of those.

Shen Yishu steadied Shi Xingrao. “Of course.”

Shi Xingrao leaned in closer. “Little Aunt, it’s not that I don’t like you, but I don’t like being the ‘pillow princess.’ From now on, will you let me take the lead? Can you do that, Little Aunt?”

Shi Xingrao’s warm breath brushed against Shen Yishu, each word deliberately toeing the line. She liked her, but only if Shen Yishu would yield a little.

Shi Xingrao was truly skilled at negotiation, placing what she cared about most on the table to discuss with her. Not only that, but she also took the initiative to get close to her. Shen Yishu felt that if her self-control were even slightly weaker, she would have agreed to Shi Xingrao’s terms.

Shen Yishu tightened her grip slightly on Shi Xingrao’s waist.

But yesterday, the girl had been so angry, her eyes brimming with tears, and she looked so beautiful beautiful and alluring, impossible to get enough of. She wanted to watch her flustered over and over, to see her bewildered again and again, to kiss the corner of her lips and the edge of her eyes every time she whimpered softly.

It was truly a difficult choice.

Shen Yishu kissed Shi Xingrao’s cheek, her voice hoarse and restrained. “Then say you like me first.”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

Shen Yishu was really too cunning. Shi Xingrao looked at her with a hint of dissatisfaction this was practically reaping without sowing.

Dealing with someone like Shen Yishu in matters of emotion made it hard to gain the upper hand. Once Shen Yishu felt she had some leverage, she wasn’t as easy to coax as before.

“Xiao Rao, I like you so much. Aren’t you willing to say you like your aunt?”

“Is Xiao Rao like me, not fond of expressing her feelings out loud?”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

The tight-lipped gourd had become quite the expert now she was spouting “like” all day long.

Shi Xingrao leaned unhappily on Shen Yishu’s shoulder, expressing her discontent. “I’m not happy, Shen Yishu. You’re not as fun as you used to be.”

So the tight-lipped gourd was just a limited-time toy, to be taken back when the time was up.

Shen Yishu: “You can keep exploring. Xiao Rao is so clever if you lose one fun aspect, you’ll surely find others.”

“For example, you could try not being a pillow princess?”

Shen Yishu coaxed her step by step, but Shi Xingrao felt like Shen Yishu was treating her like a fool, luring her into taking the initiative.

Yet, she really fell for Shen Yishu’s coaxing. Perhaps until she managed to sleep with Shen Yishu, she would remain highly interested in this matter.

Shen Yishu was truly the most cunning of merchants.

Shen Yishu pulled the blanket over Shi Xingrao again, wrapping her up like a zongzi before she was satisfied. Meeting Shi Xingrao’s “are you out of your mind?” gaze, Shen Yishu curved her lips into a smile. “This way, you won’t catch a cold.”

Shi Xingrao: “…”

“If you want to become a nun, I won’t stop you. Just go ahead.” Shi Xingrao spared no effort in trying to provoke Shen Yishu, adding calmly afterward, “Once you’ve taken your vows, I’ll inherit the Shen family. Oh, wait it’s Shen Yun who’s inheriting the Shen family, right? Then maybe I’ll just be with Shen Yun. If you’re no good, Shen Yun must be great.”

Shen Yishu’s lips curved into a smile, but it was chillingly cold. “Xiao Rao, not all jokes are meant to be made. Some jokes, once spoken, you’ll regret.”

Shi Xingrao tightened the blanket Shen Yishu had wrapped around her. “Fine, I won’t say it then.”

Whatever, she’d let Shen Yishu have this one.

After all, she was both beautiful and kind-hearted.

Cat Ears: “…”

How strange there was actually someone its host was afraid of. It seemed that before Shi Xingrao successfully turned the tables, she would be relatively restrained in provoking Shen Yishu.

The dynamic it had imagined, with Shi Xingrao controlling Shen Yishu, had somehow reversed into Shen Yishu controlling Shi Xingrao.

Cat Ears: “Sis Rao, you need to work harder.”

Cat Ears: “I changed your ID signature.”

Shi Xingrao: “?”

Shi Xingrao: “What did you change?”

Cat Ears: “I won’t change my name until I successfully counterattack.”

Shi Xingrao gritted her teeth, ” Duoduo, are you Shen Yishu’s spy sent here to annoy me? Change it back for me.”

Shen Yishu had arrived, but company matters still awaited her attention. Apart from cooking, Shen Yishu spent her time in meetings and reviewing documents.

Seizing the moment Shen Yishu had just left the meeting room, Shi Xingrao spoke up, “Darling, if your legs are weak, don’t sit for so long. Why don’t you lie down on the bed? What kind of meeting requires my wife to attend personally?”

Everyone in the online meeting who had been about to exit paused simultaneously. Suddenly fed a mouthful of “dog food,” they all pricked up their ears to listen.

This gossip was worth the risk of being scolded by Shen Yishu no doubt about it!

Wife?

Weak legs?

Hmm, so Shen Yishu is a bottom?

Tsk tsk, who would have thought? Their decisive, authoritative head of the Shen family was actually a bottom. Ahhh, who could have tamed such an aloof beauty? And who could make such an aloof beauty cry?

This was a bit too thrilling.

Shen Yishu’s lips curved into a smile. Contrary to everyone’s expectations, she wasn’t angry at the eavesdroppers. Instead, she patiently explained, “I’ve upset my wife, and she’s doing this on purpose. It’s nothing serious. Everyone, please return to work.”

Shen Yishu’s tone could be described as cheerful, and her remark about the wife being deliberately provocative became particularly intriguing.

Wife.

Shen Yishu’s voice was cool and detached, but when she uttered the word “wife,” it carried a note of delight a captivating, heart-stirring address.

Shi Xingrao couldn’t help but silently repeat the word “wife” in her mind, echoing Shen Yishu.

It sounded so good. Just recalling that voice made her feel it was incredibly pleasing to the ear. Shen Yishu’s way of saying “wife” was truly arresting.

But Shi Xingrao hadn’t forgotten her goal. She blinked her eyes innocently and looked at Shen Yishu, “Are you still in a meeting? I didn’t mean to. They didn’t all hear, did they?”

“What if they misunderstand you?”

Shen Yishu watched quietly as Shi Xingrao pretended. Her intention was clearly to make everyone think she was a bottom. Now that her goal was achieved, Shi Xingrao was still putting on an act.

Her little Rao really had no sense of guilt.

But since she had already reaped the actual benefits, what harm was there in indulging Shi Xingrao a little? Shen Yishu thought nonchalantly.

Indulging her little wife felt just right.

Shen Yishu stood up and lifted Shi Xingrao onto the desk to sit. “It doesn’t matter. I don’t care it’s just a superficial reputation.”

“But calling me ‘wife’ was that sincere?” Shen Yishu gently pinched Shi Xingrao’s fingers, “Or were you just teasing me?”

As she spoke, Shen Yishu finally looked up at Shi Xingrao. Shi Xingrao stammered, “Of course, of course it was.”

Shen Yishu’s face was exquisitely beautiful, yet her expression remained cool and detached aloof and elegant, reserved and enchanting. Such a person seemed destined to sit high upon a divine pedestal, untouched by worldly love.

Yet it made one want to pull her down from that pedestal, to immerse her in the mundane affairs of life, to let emotions disturb her, to make her lose her composure over someone.

Shi Xingrao cupped that aloof, stunning face in her hands, “Of course it was sincere.”

Shi Xingrao gently nuzzled the tip of the woman’s nose, and just as she was about to lower her head to kiss her lips, she suddenly stopped. “Ah, right, Auntie, I think I forgot to close my window. I need to go shut it.”

As Shi Xingrao spoke, she was about to jump down. Shen Yishu found herself caught between laughter and tears she should have known Shi Xingrao wouldn’t offer herself up so willingly. It was just another one of her teasing tricks, meant to stir up longing.

Yet, even if it happened a hundred or ten thousand times, Shen Yishu would still believe, every single time, that Shi Xingrao truly wanted to kiss her. She would lift her head again and again, waiting for her little rose to bestow that kiss.

Shen Yishu caught the teasing little rose in her arms. “Shall I go with you to close the window?”

“No, no need.” Shi Xingrao stopped her just as Shen Yishu was about to follow. She wasn’t about to give Shen Yishu any chance to kiss her.

Watching Shi Xingrao’s retreating figure as she went upstairs, a faint, almost imperceptible smile curved Shen Yishu’s lips. How had she ended up falling for such a little troublemaker?

Meanwhile,

[So that’s why the secretary’s department had such a gloomy atmosphere recently! It turns out President Shen and her partner had a fight.]

[Wow, wow, President Shen has a partner? If even President Shen can have one, does that mean I can find someone too?]

[Excuse me, are you President Shen?]

[I can’t even imagine what kind of person could win over President Shen. I mean, she’s practically the epitome of a top, how could she possibly be the bottom?]

[But don’t you think an icy beauty as the bottom is totally appealing? I love that kind of contrast.]

[President Shen is seriously in love. Before, anyone who interrupted her meetings would be done for, but today she actually smiled and it was such a doting smile!]

[So, will President Shen still come back to the company now that she’s in a relationship?]

Shen Yun had already rotated through her third department. As she read the messages about Shen Yishu, not a trace of a smile appeared on her face.

Wife?
Madam?

Was the reason Shi Xingrao didn’t like her because she was in love with Shen Yishu? Was the “sister” Shi Xingrao called out to actually Shen Yishu?

So, when Shen Yishu sent Shi Xingrao away, it wasn’t just about hiding her keeping her in a place where no one could find her, making sure Shen Yun couldn’t reach her. Shen Yishu wanted to nip any possibility between them in the bud.

Shen Yun’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

“You’ve seen it too, haven’t you? When has Shen Yishu ever treated you like family? Has she ever confided in you about anything? All that talk about you being the Shen family heir it was nothing but a lie. Shen Yishu didn’t even tell you she has a partner. Shi Xingrao probably knows more about Shen Yishu’s affairs than you do.”

“If Shen Yishu and her current wife have a child, what position will you even have left in the Shen family?”

“With today’s technology, two women having a child isn’t difficult at all.”

“By then, you won’t even have your status as the Shen family heir.”

Yang Xiao’s expression was twisted and terrifying as he laid out the current situation to Shen Yun. “Xiao Yun, I would never lie to you. We’re both victims here. Shen Yishu has ruined us like this. If we don’t join forces, that woman will destroy us completely.”

He had thought that once Shi Xingrao was gone, he would have a chance. But Shen Yishu had kicked him out of the Shen family. He had knelt and begged her, but it changed nothing Shen Yishu was determined to cast him out.

Without the Shen family, he was nothing. It was Shen Yishu who had allowed him into the Shen family, and now it was Shen Yishu who had turned him into a stray dog. The place he lived in now couldn’t even compare to the worst guest room in the Shen mansion.

Now, regarding Shen Yishu, he had only one thought: this woman had abandoned him, and she ought to pay the price.
