Chapter 12: Chapter 12 This is a sickness, it must be cured!
“…” Sheng Shaochen casually crossed his long legs, turned sideways, and with one hand leaned against the car window, watching her with a composed air, as if it were second nature to him!
Undeniably, he was the creator’s favorite.
Every casual gesture he made exuded an innate nobility.
The calmness on Ye Shu’s face, for a moment, almost crumbled.
She slightly pursed her lips, and the smile in her eyes rippled like water waves, “Mr. Sheng, in psychology, this is called excessive narcissism, and it needs treatment.”
“…” It was the first time someone dared to say that to him!
“I like blue, and it just so happens Mr. Sheng also likes girls in blue, nothing more than that!”
“Does Miss Ye really think that there can be so many coincidences in the world?” Sheng Shaochen carelessly turned a switch under his seat.
Suddenly, the scent of sandalwood filled the car, and the atmosphere around them became serene.
An ancient familiarity swept over her, and Ye Shu’s anxious mood also settled somewhat.
The corners of her lips lifted in an innocent pattern, “Coincidences are everywhere. Just like, Mr. Sheng likes sandalwood, and I just happen to like it too. If I follow Mr. Sheng’s logic, can I also assume that Mr. Sheng is making an elaborate attempt to seduce me?”
“…” Sheng Shaochen narrowed his eyes, watching her with interest, surprisingly somewhat eager to hear her next words.
Ye Shu’s amber eyes were deep with unending mirth, “After all, last night, it was Mr. Sheng who forced himself upon me. Today, it is Mr. Sheng who has thrown out the bait to lure me in.”
“You’re sharper than you look, Miss Ye,” Sheng Shaochen pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
He took a deep drag and leaned half his body towards her, blowing white smoke gently in her face.
The tobacco smelled good, and Ye Shu unconsciously took a breath.
But she quickly frowned, her fingertips lightly plucked the cigarette from his mouth and extinguished it.
“It’s not that I’m sharp-tongued, it’s that Mr. Sheng is at fault first, giving me the opportunity to retaliate. Like saying smoking is bad for pregnancy and childbirth, telling me to quit smoking, yet smoking blatantly in front of me. Don’t you know secondhand smoke is even worse?”
“…” Sheng Shaochen found himself unable to suppress a laugh.
Rarely did someone block his words time and again.
Sheng Shaochen rolled down the car window halfway.
The scorching July sun was as fiery as last night’s weather, hot and dry.
The heat from outside mixed with the car’s cool air, creating a thin mist that clung uncomfortably to the skin.
It was starting to feel sticky all over.
Ye Shu frowned, instinctively lifting the fabric at her neckline, revealing a hint of springtime skin.
The gesture was casual, but in Sheng Shaochen’s eyes, it held a different flavor.
The little woman had been drawing his attention ever since she got into the car.
If all this wasn’t considered scheming, what would be?
Yet, ‘scheming’ was essential for ‘Mrs. Sheng’.
Sheng Shaochen wound up the car window, “Miss Ye, no matter what you’re planning, I’ll repeat myself, what’s between us is just a transaction, don’t harbor inappropriate thoughts.”
A pain spread across the depths of Ye Shu’s eyes.
“Mr. Sheng, in your eyes, does a person who has fallen on hard times not even have the right to talk about dignity?”
In the unfathomable depths of Sheng Shaochen’s eyes, a ripple passed by almost imperceptibly, but it quickly returned to tranquility, “Miss Ye, I am a businessman…”
