Savage Kiss - Chapter 72

Xu Qingyi walked ahead, quickly sending a message to Shen Yanzhou on her phone:

[I have serious matters to discuss with him. I’ll find you later.]

She couldn’t get close to him in front of Shi Qing. Seeing that his face wasn’t injured, she figured he wouldn’t have suffered any losses dealing with a student like Shi Qing.

Once in the car, Xu Qingyi glanced at Shi Qing, not showing any particular emotion, and simply asked, “Weren’t we supposed to meet in the afternoon? Why are you here so early?”

Shi Qing wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue from her car and quipped, “I missed you, of course. I haven’t dared to look for you lately.”

Xu Qingyi fastened her seatbelt. Shi Qing always acted like a frivolous young master, and by now, she couldn’t tell whether it was just his usual carefree demeanor or if he actually had feelings for her.

But each time, she responded in a similar tone: “Don’t bother. This big sister’s heart is sealed in cement.”

Shi Qing would always frown, disliking her referring to herself as “big sister” when she looked so young.

As the car started, Xu Qingyi glanced out the window and saw Shen Yanzhou still standing in the pavilion.

She asked Shi Qing, “Why did you hit him?”

The mention of it made Shi Qing angry. “He stole my painting. Shouldn’t I get it back?”

Xu Qingyi replied naturally, “He already gave it to me.”

Shi Qing was taken aback.
“He gave it to you?”

She nodded without changing her expression. “Don’t go causing trouble for him anymore. He and I really do have a professional relationship.”

Then she shot him a glance. “With your slight build, if he really fought back, you’d be lying flat on the ground.”

Xu Qingyi knew Shen Yanzhou’s strength all too well, he could hold her up with one hand while gripping a railing with the other for a long time.

Shi Qing, feeling unconvinced, lifted his shirt to show off his abs. “Am I worse than him?”

Xu Qingyi kept her eyes on the road.

After a moment, Shi Qing asked, “Did he really return that painting to you?”

Xu Qingyi nodded again. “That’s why I didn’t make a fuss about it. Work matters might even require me to trouble you instead.”

Shi Qing said, “I’d be happy to. Feel free to trouble me more.”

Xu Qingyi and Shi Qing chose a restaurant they didn’t usually visit for their meal.

When Shi Qing asked what she wanted to use Tianhua’s containers for and what her profession was, she just smiled mysteriously, keeping her answers vague.

Big corporations were different. Before President Ke and Tianhua’s marketing department finalized their discussions, everything was likely under confidentiality. Even Shi Qing couldn’t find out anything when he tried to inquire.

But Shi Qing had already decided: the next time the marketing department went to negotiate with President Ke, he would personally tag along. He’d use his influence to get them a good deal on container rentals and, at the same time, figure out what she was up to, and get closer to her.

After the meal, Shi Qing didn’t want to go back. Xu Qingyi could tell he wanted to hang out at her place.

She pretended not to notice and asked, “Want to go for a walk by the beach?”

Shi Qing had no experience pursuing girls, in the past, they were the ones chasing him. A walk by the beach in such cold weather sounded freezing, but he couldn’t just take her to a bar or a hotel like he used to.

As soon as they reached the beach, Xu Qingyi spotted Shen Yanzhou’s yacht, with him on board.

“How about we go somewhere else?” she suddenly suggested.

Shi Qing looked up and grinned. “No, this place is perfect.”

Instead, he stuffed his hands into his coat pockets and shouted toward Shen Yanzhou, “Hey!”

Shen Yanzhou gave him a cold glance and ignored him.

Shi Qing walked over, treating Shen Yanzhou like a boatman. “How much to take us out for a spin on the boat?”

Just as Xu Qingyi was about to speak, Shen Yanzhou quoted an exorbitant price: “Seven thousand. She’s free.”

Shi Qing widened his eyes. “Are you fucking charging in hell money?”

Shen Yanzhou’s expression was cold. “Getting on or not?”

“I am!” Shi Qing took a deep breath. So, what if it was seven thousand? Even if it were a trip to heaven, he’d still get on!

There was food and drink on the yacht. Having paid a fortune, Shi Qing had no intention of letting Shen Yanzhou take advantage, he wanted to try everything.

Xu Qingyi had just eaten and couldn’t stomach anything else, so she sat by the window watching the sea.

When Shen Yanzhou came in, he glanced at the row of drinks and alcohol in front of Shi Qing and kindly reminded him, “It’s best not to mix those two.”

Shi Qing shot him a look.

He didn’t even know what kind of alcohol it was, even a young master like him from Tianhua hadn’t seen it before. What was so special about it?

“I’m drinking it anyway!” He was determined to oppose Shen Yanzhou and downed it right in front of him.

Let it hurt him to death for charging seven thousand!

Shen Yanzhou turned to Xu Qingyi. “What would you like to eat?”

She smiled politely. “No need.”

Shi Qing waved a hand at Shen Yanzhou. “Go wait outside. Just seeing you makes my drinks taste weird.”

So sour.

Shen Yanzhou only spoke to Xu Qingyi. “There’s a lounge. If you’re tired, you can go lie down for a while.”

She must have gotten up early today without sleeping in.

Xu Qingyi remained courteous. “I’m not tired, thank you.”

Shen Yanzhou had no choice but to leave.

Shi Qing took a sip of the pink drink. “It’s really good. Want to try it?”

Xu Qingyi looked at the several drinks he had poured and sighed helplessly. “Did you come here to stock up?”

Shi Qing grinned. “This one’s really good. I’ll look for it to buy and drink when we get back.”

The tea room was warm. The two of them enjoyed the view, played a couple of games, and were quite relaxed.

After a while, however, Shi Qing suddenly gasped softly, frowned, and clutched his stomach.

Xu Qingyi glanced at him and pointed toward the back of the lounge. “There’s a restroom over there.”

Shi Qing hurried out of the tea room.

Not long after, he messaged her on WeChat for help: “No toilet paper!!”

Xu Qingyi stood up and left the tea room. She first checked the lounge, Shen Yanzhou wasn’t there, and she couldn’t find any paper either.

She had no choice but to go to the cockpit to find Shen Yanzhou.

Knock knock!

Shen Yanzhou was leaning in the cockpit and turned to look at her without moving.

Xu Qingyi pointed upward. “Shi Qing’s in the restroom. He says there’s no toilet paper in there.”

Shen Yanzhou remained indifferent. “There isn’t any. That broke old man can’t afford it. Let him figure it out himself.”

Knowing he was deliberately mocking himself, Xu Qingyi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Don’t make things difficult for him. My career prospects are closely tied to him.”

Shen Yanzhou stood up and walked over to her. “It could also be…”

His breath was already at the tip of her nose. Xu Qingyi barely managed to dodge. “Someone might see…”

Shen Yanzhou wrapped an arm around her waist and pressed his lips to hers. “If he dares to come out bare-assed, I’ll be impressed.”

Xu Qingyi was kissed until her legs went weak, and he took the opportunity to lay her down on the small couch behind her.

Only when he leaned over her did she hazily push against his chest with both hands. “We can’t…”

Lately, she felt her condition was worsening. Every time he touched her, it was like being drawn by a magnet, she was becoming addicted.

Shen Yanzhou could clearly sense her reaction, partly aroused, partly deliberate. “You want it.”

He pressed against her, his voice low. “I bet he won’t dare come.”

Xu Qingyi struggled to steady her voice. “Stop messing around. If you keep this up, I’ll get angry.”
