Chapter 47: Chapter 47 Human Touch
The people waiting at the elevator entrance all turned around to look, and Su Nian was no exception. She saw Song Yang, wearing a pale blue shirt with the hem tucked into his trousers, youthful and vibrant as he ran towards her.
Su Nian subconsciously glanced at Shen Hanxiu standing beside her, only to see him with a stern face, showing no emotion, his gaze fixed on Song Yang.
Song Yang, oblivious to the subdued atmosphere at the elevator entrance, cheerfully asked, “Nian, you’re here so early today?”
Shen Hanxiu stood behind Su Nian, tilting his head slightly and giving Song Yang a sharp look.
Before Su Nian had a chance to speak, an embarrassed Song Yang noticed Shen Hanxiu and hurriedly greeted him: “Hello, President Shen!”
Shen Hanxiu nodded slightly, eyeing the ID hanging around the man’s neck: Song Yang.
Is this the man who sent the flowers? Barely over one meter eighty by the looks of it, a delicate and tender pretty boy, and he wants to chase Su Nian?
Or is that what Su Nian likes?
Thinking of the ten-year age difference between himself and Su Nian, and how she called him an “old man” when they met six years ago, Shen Hanxiu couldn’t help but wonder if Su Nian, that brainless woman, liked such young fresh meat.
He wasn’t doubting his own charm, just questioning Su Nian’s taste.
Seeing her face turning red, her eyes darting around while talking to Song Yang, Shen Hanxiu wished he could just pocket her bashful appearance!
Once the elevator reached their floor, Su Nian, who was standing at the front, was about to step in when her arm was pulled back. Song Yang wanted her to come in, but he was pushed to the very back by the crowd.
After everyone boarded, Shen Hanxiu pushed Su Nian inside and squeezed her tightly into the corner, causing Su Nian to turn her head and glare at him resentfully.
His chest pressed tightly against her back, in the crowded elevator, Su Nian felt her face getting hotter, certainly due to the lack of air circulation!
She was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to notice a string of surprised gazes from behind.
Seeing Boss Shen, who ordinarily shows no interest in females, now blocking Su Nian’s petite figure with his tall, upright frame as if afraid she’d get squeezed by the crowd, some felt envy while others were astonished, thinking that as an uncle, this level of protection seemed a bit excessive.
And in recent times, news only featured Shen Hanxiu with his niece’s two children, with no photos of him and his fiancée at all, inevitably leading to wild speculations.
His familiar scent of cologne wafted into her breath, a warm, fresh aroma adding a touch of humanity amidst his usual coldness.
This was the cologne she had bought for him. Saying he looked cold, she wanted to ‘warm’ his scent; he never resented gifts from her, and unexpectedly he was still using this cologne after so long…
“Nian, we’ve arrived.”
Hearing Song Yang’s voice, Su Nian suddenly snapped back to reality, looked up to see Shen Hanxiu’s amused smile, her face flushed, glanced at the floor number and quickly followed Song Yang out.
Working in the office for a while but still sensing his scent in the air distracted her.
“Sister Niannian, aren’t you packing up after work? Handsome Song wants to treat you to dinner! I won’t be the third wheel, Tingting and I will leave first, you must seize the chance, okay?”
Su Nian quickly regained her composure, recalling the promise she made to Song Yang yesterday.
Before she could sort out her chaotic thoughts, Song Yang was already by her side: “Nian, let’s… go have dinner, what would you like to eat?”
Su Nian stood up, looking slightly uncomfortable: “I… anything is fine.”
Song Yang smiled, naturally placing his hand on Su Nian’s waist: “Then follow my lead.”
Su Nian awkwardly dodged, gently moving his hand away, and with an embarrassed smile said, “I… am not quite used to this…”
Song Yang also removed his hand quickly, apologizing: “Sorry, that was careless of me.”
Su Nian remained thoughtful, pondering how to clarify things with him later…
