I Just Want to Spoil and Run Away with the Abused Female Lead [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 46.2

Shen Yishu’s gaze darkened slightly. She adjusted the delicate silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, her thin, beautiful lips curling into a faint smile. “When have I not listened to you? No one ever made me goji berry tea before. I’ve been drinking your goji berry tea all day.”

“Wasn’t my performance yesterday enough to satisfy you? Or does my baby think I should be a little more assertive?”

Shen Yishu’s voice was truly captivating clear and cool yet seductive, especially when tinged with a hint of laughter. It was utterly enchanting, enough to make one lose their mind.

Especially that “baby.”

Shi Xingrao felt her heart itch at Shen Yishu’s use of “baby.” Why did she suddenly want to sleep with Shen Yishu? Why did she want to hear Shen Yishu call her “baby” in bed? Hmm, calling her “baby” while crying.

But, but now was not the time. She still had more serious matters to discuss with Shen Yishu, such as how obedient Shen Yishu truly was. If Shen Yishu really agreed to listen to her, wouldn’t she be able to dominate her whenever she wanted in the future?

She couldn’t let immediate temptations make her forget long-term benefits.

Shi Xingrao: “Do you really listen to your wife?”

Shen Yishu’s lips curved into a smile. “Of course. I will be loyal to my partner. Everything I have belongs to her. If she tells me to go east, I won’t go west.”

While observing Shi Xingrao’s gradually softening expression, Shen Yishu continued to entice her. “Xiao Mang, if you just settle down a little, you won’t even have to put in much effort. I’ll take care of everything, from the wedding to the procedures. All you need to do is show up. I won’t let you suffer through any tedious processes.”

“After marrying me, you’ll still be free. Your life won’t change much, and you’ll have an obedient partner.”

Shi Xingrao was deeply tempted. The rest didn’t matter much, but the idea of freely playing with Shen Yishu was incredibly appealing. Especially with precedents, she found the thought of Shen Yishu obeying her utterly irresistible.

Shi Xingrao: “Let’s get married. We’ll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. They issue marriage certificates here, right?”

Shi Xingrao agreed so quickly that it took Shen Yishu completely by surprise. She even felt as though Shi Xingrao must really like her. If she didn’t, something as significant as marriage should have required much more thought.

Shen Yishu’s gaze softened even further. “Of course, we can get the certificate here.”

Shen Yishu wanted to say more to the young woman, but the latter spoke first. “Alright, you should get back to work. Finish up early so we can get some rest. We need to wake up early tomorrow to get our marriage certificate.”

Shen Yishu found it both amusing and exasperating, but as she turned back to her work, her heart was filled with unparalleled joy.

Ten minutes later,

Red envelopes flooded all of Shen Corporation’s work group chats.

From Shen Yishu’s level of flamboyance, it was clear she couldn’t hold back even a little.

Every red envelope was inscribed with, “Getting married with my wife tomorrow, spreading the joy to everyone.” It was practically like she had “I’m getting married” written on her forehead for all to see.

[How come we never noticed before that President Shen is such a closet romantic?]

[Hahahaha, actually, people who seem cold on the surface are usually the secretly passionate type.]

[So President Shen really took time off to be with her wife recently?]

[I grabbed 188, pretty impressive, right?]

[Seems like President Shen really loves her wife a lot.]

[It’s obvious President Shen really wants everyone to know she has a wife. Hahahaha, the secretly passionate President Shen. Who would’ve thought the always stone-faced President Shen would have a day like this?]

[She’s just too in love. Even when interrupted during meetings, she’s so gentle. Today, I feel like President Shen can’t wait to announce it to the whole world.]

[I’m really curious what kind of person could win over someone like President Shen.]

Yang Xiao had joined the work group chat earlier and never left, just changed his name and lurked. Seeing these messages, he couldn’t resist teasing Shi Xingrao.

He screenshotted countless pictures of Shen Yishu sending red envelopes and sent them to Shi Xingrao.

[Crazy Dude: Look, Shen Yishu doesn’t love you at all. This is what loving someone really looks like. Shen Yishu sent out so many red envelopes, I feel bad for her wife just looking at it. Isn’t this just squandering their marital assets?]

Shi Xingrao raised an eyebrow. After she stopped going to work, she had muted the company group chat.

So this is what Shen Yishu had been doing for the past ten minutes she thought Shen Yishu was working seriously. Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought this was something her President Shen would do.

[Ordinary Little Genius: So how much did you grab? Don’t tell me it was just ten cents?]

Yang Xiao’s face flushed with anger, and he typed furiously, [I grabbed fifty cents!!!]

Shi Xingrao couldn’t help but laugh. She knew that if Yang Xiao had grabbed a lot, he wouldn’t be worrying about Shen Yishu’s marital assets.

[Ordinary Little Genius: Shen Yishu’s other half probably doesn’t care about such a small amount of marital assets. She can’t even spend all of Shen Yishu’s money. Oh, right, you must be really concerned about it since your plans fell through and you’re probably struggling to even eat now. She doesn’t care about this money, but you definitely do, right?]

[Ordinary Little Genius: Oh my, Uncle, it’s only been a few days since I last saw you. How did you end up so miserable?]

Her tone was deliberately provoking. Yang Xiao had intended to annoy Shi Xingrao, but instead, he ended up infuriating himself.

Fuming, Yang Xiao dialed an unlisted number. “When are you guys starting? You promised to pay me once the job was done. I even helped you pull Shen Yun to our side. How are you still so useless? After all this time, you haven’t managed to bring Shen Yishu down yet?”

The person on the other end chuckled hoarsely. “Don’t rush. Haste makes waste.”

“Don’t rush? Do you have any idea what kind of life I’m living right now? And you’re telling me not to rush?”

Yet the other party remained unruffled. “The Shen family will eventually belong to you and Shen Yun. All you need to do is endure a little hardship now to enjoy a lifetime of wealth and luxury. How about this I’ll arrange for you to work at Shen Corporation. Keep a low profile, but I trust you can handle the tasks I assign you?”

Yang Xiao raised his voice slightly upon hearing the request. “Transfer Shen Corporation’s assets? Do you think I’m a fool? The company will eventually belong to Shen Yun and me. What difference is there between transferring its assets now and transferring my own?”

The person on the other end chuckled ambiguously. “Yours and Shen Yun’s assets? Is that what you think? How naive. What’s Shen Yun’s is Shen Yun’s, and what’s yours is yours. Everything in Yang Xiao’s life gathers for profit and scatters because of it. Wealth only truly belongs to you when it’s firmly in your grasp.”

“Aren’t you afraid that one day Shen Yun might kick you out of the Shen family, just like Shen Yishu did? By then, you’ll have nothing, just a stray dog, as you are today.”

As the man spoke, Yang Xiao’s expression shifted repeatedly. When the words “stray dog” were uttered, it felt like a direct blow to his sore spot. His tone turned dark and venomous. “Who are you calling a stray dog?”

“No, my apologies I misspoke, President Yang, our esteemed President Yang. How about this: we split the transferred assets fifty-fifty? And if you want to accept bribes from anyone or sell company secrets to others in the process, that’s entirely up to you those will be your personal gains. What do you think?”

Yang Xiao’s eyes darted back and forth. “Are you really confident you can bring Shen Yishu down?”

The man chuckled again. “Of course. Shen Yishu seems to have lost his mind over some woman he hasn’t shown up at the company for over ten days. Shen Yun is young and easy to control. This is the perfect time to muddy the waters. If you don’t seize this opportunity now, you may never get another.”

“Fine. But once Shen Yishu is brought down, I want you to hand him over to me along with Shi Xingrao. It’s because of those two that I’ve been reduced to this miserable state. I’ll make sure they pay dearly.” Yang Xiao spoke with vicious determination. He wanted to abandon those two women in the wilderness, making them experience true despair and helplessness.

Let them suffer for harming him, for looking down on him, for Shi Xingrao’s mockery. They deserved to die.

“Of course. You are my most loyal partner, I’ll naturally fulfill all your requests.”

Back in his rented apartment, Yang Xiao’s expression twisted with his dark thoughts. “You’d better not try to deceive me, or I’ll drag you down with me.”

“Of course not.”

After hanging up, the man’s lips still curled in a faint, pleased smile. Yet even as he felt satisfied, he couldn’t help but sneer contemptuously and mutter, “Idiot.”

Such an easily manipulated fool. Offer him a little profit, and he’d risk everything, even breaking the law.

And this fool still had the audacity to think others shouldn’t look down on him.

Did someone like him even deserve respect? It was the funniest joke he’d heard in a long time.

How could someone of Yang Xiao’s status possibly share risks and profits equally with him?

The man wiped his hands, his eyes once again turning cold and ruthless. Just a filthy rat crawling out of the gutter.

“Duoduo, with Yang Xiao’s level of intelligence, can he really bring Shen Yishu down? Right now, it seems like he’s just throwing a powerless tantrum.” Shi Xingrao truly couldn’t understand it. “Do you think there might be someone else pulling the strings behind the scenes?”

“In the original plot, Shen Yun disappeared later on. So, where do you think she went?”

“Could it be Shen Yun secretly advising Yang Xiao from behind?”

Cat Ears was also full of doubts. Yeah, it didn’t quite grasp the plot either. Logically speaking, Shen Yishu’s taste shouldn’t be so low as to take a liking to someone like Yang Xiao. Shen Yishu’s standards were clearly very particular.

Shi Xingrao blinked her eyes upon hearing Shen Yishu call her, “Xiao Rao, come here for a moment.”

Only when she heard Shen Yishu answer the phone in front of her did Shi Xingrao begin to understand what was happening.

The man on the other end immediately congratulated Shen Yishu. “Yishu, your uncle truly congratulates you. At first, I thought you really intended to remain alone and was even planning to select a suitable child from the Shen family for you to mentor as your successor.”

“It seems that won’t be necessary now. Are you considering in vitro fertilization while abroad?”

This world had advanced significantly in both technology and societal attitudes compared to the previous one. Not only was same-sex marriage widely accepted, but technology had also progressed to the point where same-sex couples could have children with both partners’ genetic material through scientific means.

“Do you need me to recommend a doctor? I happen to have an excellent friend who specializes in this field.”

Shi Xingrao blinked her eyes. Wow, this call might seem well-intentioned on the surface, but it’s actually a probe into Shen Yishu’s plans.

Shen Yishu’s tone was cold. “Uncle, I thought you would have learned to mind your own business by now. It seems you still enjoy meddling in others’ affairs.”

“Shen Yun is the successor I’ve chosen to mentor. There’s no need for you to test my stance.”

Surprisingly, the other end did not react angrily to Shen Yishu’s sharp retort. “Is Shen Yun really a worthy successor? The age gap between you two isn’t that large, Yishu. Even if you don’t want children of your own, if you’re selecting a successor, you should consider other branches of the family. Your cousin’s child is ten years old this year, I think that would be a more suitable choice.”

“Who knows what will happen if the Shen family falls into Shen Yun’s hands? As the head of the Shen family, you should prioritize the family’s future.”

His words sounded lofty and righteous, but Shen Yishu’s tone grew even colder. “Am I going to die tomorrow? Or are you planning to make sure I don’t live to see tomorrow? Isn’t it a bit too early to be discussing successors?”

Shi Xingrao’s eyes conveyed agreement. After the call ended, Shen Yishu asked her, “Xiao Rao, what did you gather from that?”

“Aside from you, it seems the rest of the Shen family are all in cahoots. Even if they aren’t completely united, they probably know more than you do. Perhaps what they’re thinking is that as long as you’re out of the picture, they can all get a share of the pie.”

Shi Xingrao reached out and gently traced Shen Yishu’s nose, then let her fingers drift downward, outlining the shape of Shen Yishu’s beautiful lips. She finally understood why Shen Yishu in the original storyline had met such a tragic fate drugged, driven to madness, and abandoned in the wilderness by that scumbag Yang Xiao.

So it turned out that everyone in the Shen family was eagerly waiting for Shen Yishu to die.

Shi Xingrao wrapped her arms around Shen Yishu’s neck, leaned in, and kissed her lips. When the kiss ended, they rested their foreheads together, lingering in the intimacy. Shi Xingrao whispered softly, “Is it worth it, Shen Yishu?”

Everyone in the Shen family saw Shen Yishu as ruthless and cruel, yet she had never truly driven any of them to ruin. As long as they refrained from causing trouble, Shen Yishu had always ensured that even the least capable among them could live in idle luxury.
