Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Xi was rendered speechless. “…”

Childish!

The dull mixture of black, white, and gray tones in the CEO’s office finally came to life after Shen Xi and Li Yuan’s shopping trip at the mall.

There were adorable pillows and a vivid-colored blanket on the sofa for afternoon naps.

The table was decorated with kawaii cups, spoons, and fruit plates.

Not to mention, the lovable slippers at the door.

These pieces might stand out, but they somehow created balance in the workplace, adding elements of cuteness and vibrancy to the drab office.

Shen Xi pointed at the window. “We should add two pots of plants there. I think a money tree and a clivia would be best. Brother, I’m going home today so I’ll send some to you. Bring them tomorrow.”

Watching as she ran around the office in her fluffy slippers, Li Yuan chuckled. “It’s summer now, Ms. Shen.”

Although she wore a little pink dress, she had a pair of winter slippers on her feet. Shen Xi was so adorable it melted his heart.

“Speaking of which, I’ve got to give it to you.” Shen Xi turned over to smile at him. “The air-conditioning’s on full blast.”

She jogged to the sofa to pick up the blanket and draped it over Li Yuan before kneeling before him. “The best temperature for you is around 27 degrees Celsius. Look at the room temperature, it’s 23 degrees.”

“It’s a central air-conditioning unit.” Li Yuan gazed at the girl tenderly and explained.

“Don’t switch on the central air-conditioning then. Install a single unit. It’s too cold for you.” Looking at him in the eye, Shen Xi reached out to feel his forehead and swiftly retrieved her arm, as if her hand was frozen stiff.

Li Yuan took her hand and placed it against his mouth for a blow. “Are you still cold?”

Smiling like a fool, Shen Xi gave him the puppy dog look and nodded.

Li Yuan laughed and blew more hot air.

Pleased, at last, Shen Xi got up to get back to work. She pointed at the blue and white porcelain vase on his shelf. “Brother, you should change that to a Pixiu, the mythical hybrid creature. It can bring wealth to us and the business.”

Li Yuan loved it when she lumped them both together in one sentence. He asked with a smile, “Is feng shui your thing as well?”

Bobbing her head, Shen Xi proudly answered, “I know a whole lot more, which you’ll find out with time.”

Li Yuan smiled dotingly as the girl scampered to move this and change that. She looked like a pro when she reflected on her thoughts every now and then.

Shen Xi was finally satisfied after moving things around the room. “Brother, the feng shui layout can amass wealth and fortune. I’ll tell Kun Lun to replace the vase and that pot. I’ll draw out the good spots, so you can put them in their place.”

Kun Lun was just outside. With Shen Xi summoning him, he opened the door and heeded her order right away. He took the white and blue porcelain away and went on his way to find a Pixiu.

Getting onto the ground, Shen Xi used the only pen in the office to draw faint circles on the floorboard near the window. Despite doing all that, she was in two minds. “Brother, I’ll come with you tomorrow.”

Li Yuan inquired, “Don’t you have to go with your dad to watch your mom’s fall fashion show?”

Shen Xi smacked her head. “Put the stuff aside. I’ll return to adjust their spots later. We can’t afford any mistake since it’d affect the flow of fortune.”

Jin Yun’s fall collection was going to debut in the capital tomorrow. Her original plan was to sneak Li Yuan into a hidden spot so they could watch together.

Nevertheless, Old Shen, who had no time to spoil and pamper his wife, cleared his work schedule for the day to support his wife’s fashion collection. It blew Shen Xi’s hope to bring Li Yuan along.

Li Yuan felt down. “I want to watch your mom’s fashion show too.”

Shen Xi gave it a thought before approaching Li Yuan and said earnestly, “I can’t meet you there if you go. My dad has eagle eyes. He’ll break your legs if he catches you.”

“Shouldn’t he be breaking your legs?” Li Yuan burst out laughing.

“He won’t hit his daughter, but he’ll hit you.” Shen Xi spoke matter-of-factly. Struck by a thought, she pouted and gave him the evil eye. “What do you mean? Are you trying to get me beaten?”

“No.” Li Yuan pulled the girl into his arms and intimately came to her eye level. “I’ll protect you and be your shield. I’ll tell Mr. Shen that it’s my fault and that he can hit me all he wants.”

“Brother, how come I never realized that you were this kind of person?” Shen Xi stared at him with her wide eyes.

“What kind of person?” Li Yuan asked.

“A drama king!” Shen Xi chortled.

As the girl crackled and chuckled, Li Yuan leaned forward to seal her chatty lips.

Certain things were like drugs. Once tried, there was no turning back, and the addiction would only be fueled over time. Her lips, for example, were sweet like honey, tempting him every second of the day.

The sunset painted a beautiful and wholesome picture over them through the huge bay window. Like the most flawless oil painting in the world, they were a sight to behold.

Li Yuan could not get enough of her, but he had to let her go since the girl was turning red and gasping for air. Still, he would peck on her lips every so often.

Shen Xi felt an itch on her nose, unsure if it was because he kept snuggling against her face. Suddenly, she let out one sneeze after another.

Li Yuan, “…”

Shen Xiu rubbed her nose and moaned, “Brother, someone seems to be talking behind my back a lot today.”

The person in question was Shen Zhangqing. He was on a call with Yun Jinping. “Honey, Su Yi said that Xixi’s in love. Is it true? Do you know about this?”

Yun Jinping was in the middle of the runway rehearsal for tomorrow when her husband caught her at a loss for words. “I’m not too sure, honey.”

Since she had not seen them together, Yun Jinping was uncertain whether the next-door neighbor was an item with Xixi. However, how did Su Yi find out? The man even came to their house.

“Su Yi mentioned it’s a handicapped old man in a wheelchair. Apparently, he has a wife and kids. Our darling Xixi is the other woman.” Shen Zhangqing’s complexion turned ashen out of rage.

Shen Zhangqing flat-out denied and kicked Su Yi out of the house when he dropped by to talk about the matter.

Nevertheless, he grew restless and upset the more he thought about it. Shen Zhangqing could not call and question his daughter in fear he might hurt her pride. Hence, he turned to his wife.

With his wife saying that she was unsure, did that mean that she knew about it?

“No.” Yun Jinping was a good judge of character. She was quick to explain, “He’s not an old man, and he doesn’t have a wife or kids.”

Hearing this, Shen Zhangqing went ballistic, but he knew better than to snap at his wife.. He tried to keep his cool. “Is he handicapped?”
