“Sheng Jiu, are you in a hurry to find a girlfriend?” Shen Xiuwen looked at Sheng Jiu.

Sheng Jiu shook her head. “I don’t want to. I’m not in a hurry at all.” She was a woman. She only liked men!

“Then let’s eat.” Shen Xiuwen asked the attendant to bring a new set of cutlery for Sheng Jiu.

When Sheng Jiu ate with Cheng Xinkai and his sister, she only pretended to eat a few mouthfuls, so she was still hungry. Now that she was eating with Shen Xiuwen and He Sijun, although she was a little reluctant, she still ate a lot.

“You’re so thin and weak. You should eat more.” Shen Xiuwen found Sheng Jiu adorable afte seeing how she ate like a little hamster.

“Fourth Brother, I’ve already eaten a lot. I’m full.” Sheng Jiu put down her chopsticks and was about to pour some water for herself. At the side, Shen Xiuwen noticed what she was going to do. Then, their hands touched the kettle at the same time. Sheng Jiu subconsciously wanted to avoid it. She waved her hand and touched the soup bowl beside her. The soup bowl fell and the soup inside spilled on Shen Xiuwen.

“I’m sorry, Fourth Brother. Are you scalded?” Sheng Jiu was terrified. She did not expect to spill the soup on Shen Xiuwen.

“It’s fine. The soup is already cold. It’s just that my clothes are dirty.” Shen Xiuwen was a clean freak and cared a lot about his clothes being dirty.

Sheng Jiu knew that Shen Xiuwen had a serious obsession with cleanliness. Now that his white shirt was stained with soup, he must be feeling terrible. When he thought about how he had taken off his clothes after getting mud on him at the racing club last time, Sheng Jiu was afraid that Shen Xiuwen would do it again.

“Fourth Brother, don’t take off your clothes yet. This is a public place. There are too many people.” Sheng Jiu took the initiative to stop Shen Xiuwen from taking off his clothes.

“Sheng Jiu, do I look like a pervert in your eyes?” Shen Xiuwen frowned in displeasure at Sheng Jiu’s words.

“No, no. How could Fourth Brother be a pervert?” Sheng Jiu quickly shook her head in denial. Although Shen Xiuwen had already taken off his clothes two or three times in front of her, Sheng Jiu was determined not to say that he was a pervert.

“Fourth Brother, there’s a mall downstairs. I’ll take you to buy clothes. Coincidentally, I can also compensate you for the shirt from last time and the clothes from the hotel.” Sheng Jiu quickly found an excuse to get up.

“Let’s go.” Shen Xiuwen also got up and strode toward the elevator.

“Sheng Jiu, you’re really amazing. You can make Fourth Master so angry. Do you know where the person who made Fourth Master angry last time was?” He Sijun watched the entire process. Sheng Jiu was considered impressive. She had jumped on the edge of Shen Xiuwen’s anger a few times. But not only was she fine, but she had also extinguished Fourth Master’s anger. This was the first time he had seen this happened.

“In hell?” Sheng Jiu asked.

“Yes, you’re going to hell. The next time you make Fourth Master angry, you might go to hell too.” He Sijun didn’t know what to say when he saw Sheng Jiu’s silly look. Perhaps this was what it meant to be a fool.

“I’ve already been there and come back,” Sheng Jiu said and strode forward. She had already died once, so what was there to be afraid of?

“What a fool. How bold.” He Sijun felt that Sheng Jiu was talking nonsense. After the three of them entered the elevator, two middle school students who were fooling around also walked in. The boy accidentally bumped into Sheng Jiu, and Sheng Jiu’s arm hit the elevator wall. It hurt so much that she subconsciously took a step back and bumped into Shen Xiuwen’s chest. Fourth Master Shen, who was obsessed with cleanliness, did not like to have intimate contact with others.

The moment Sheng Jiu bumped into Shen Xiuwen, Shen Xiuwen instinctively wanted to push her away. However, when he heard Sheng Jiu hissed in pain, he wrapped his long arms around Sheng Jiu and shielded her behind his back. “You bumped into someone. Don’t you know how to apologize?”

Shen Xiuwen’s voice was cold and harsh, and the temperature in the elevator dropped several degrees. The two middle school students who were fooling around were shocked. The little girl glanced at Shen Xiuwen. At first glance, she thought he was handsome, but the next second, she hid behind the boy in fear. This man’s gaze was too scary. It was as if he wanted to eat her up.

“Uncle, just say what you want to say. Why are you shouting so loudly? You’re scaring my girlfriend.” The boy was also frightened by Shen Xiuwen’s sharp gaze, but in order to show his bravery in front of his girlfriend, he mustered his courage and spoke to Shen Xiuwen.

“Little handsome guy, you were the one who bumped into our people first. My brother’s hand is hurt because of you. If you don’t apologize properly, are you being reasonable here?” He Sijun stared at the boy with a smile. He was clearly smiling, but his words sound like threats.
