Chapter 123 She dated eight men in one go, but just wouldn't get married.
Looking at the man beside her, who once commanded respect and influence in Beijing, now dutifully picking cilantro and peeling oranges for her, Xie Junfei suddenly regretted her antics in the car. She rubbed her nose.
"Huo Shen, I think I'd better not be surprised."
The man holding chopsticks paused, looked up at her:
"So what, you high school student?"
Xie Junfei lowered her head, looking like a wilted radish:
"It was just something I casually mentioned when a classmate asked me about it."
“You’ve been back at the old house for so long, and you’ve been busy with so much work at the Huo family in Beijing. You’re working non-stop all day. I think it’s better if I cause trouble at this time.”
She had seen how busy the man had been these past few days.
No matter how busy he was, men never brought work to Jasmine South Street.
In the short time she'd been awake, Huo Shen's phone, which was on the bedside table, had lit up several times.
We are all human beings, and couples should be considerate of each other. Huo Shen has so many things to do right now, and since she, a noble high school student, can't help him, not disturbing him is a virtue.
Seeing the girl's conflicted expression, Huo Shen ruffled her fluffy hair:
"You can work anytime, and you can never earn all the money in the world."
"Besides, I earn money so that you can spend it and make me happy. Aren't you putting the cart before the horse by doing this?"
"Don't worry, you'll get everything you want."
Normally, if Huo Shen said that, Xie Junfei would be all smiles and have been coaxed into continuing to eat.
But today she was unusually sullen and kept picking at the rice in her bowl.
As if he had thought of something, Huo Shen simply reached his hand under the covers. Before Xie Junfei could widen his eyes and yell "Get out of here, you scoundrel!", he felt a warm current surge from below.
Immediately afterwards, the man touched the sheets and felt a chill.
Oops!
Xie Junfei pushed aside the bedside table and sprang up from the bed like a spring, rushing into the bathroom in a panic.
The man sitting on the edge of the bed breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine as long as it's a normal physiological phenomenon.
Thankfully, it wasn't one of those malicious "grade-advising guys" or "grade-advising girls" from school.
The blow he suffered at Tiancheng Private School last time was too great, second only to his troublesome brothers-in-law. He was truly afraid.
Since it was inconvenient for Zhang Ma to handle these personal items, while the little girl was still in the bathroom, he simply got up, tore off the bed sheet, and took it to the bathroom next door to wash it.
The fresh bloodstains were easy to wash off; warm water diluted the bright red. The man took the washed sheets downstairs and asked Zhang Ma to disinfect them.
When he went upstairs, Xie Junfei was still lingering in the bathroom.
Huo Shen knew why, so he took out new underwear and tampons from the closet, opened the door a crack, and handed them to the person in the bathroom.
The small piece of pink fabric was held in that bony, sharp hand. Xie Junfei felt inexplicably hot and immediately reached out to take it.
The things left in the bathroom were naturally washed away by the man.
While washing the baby clothes, Huo Shen's phone, which was on the bedside table, finally couldn't resist and started vibrating frantically.
Xie Junfei returned to bed.
Huo Shen pushed the bedside table in front of her, gesturing for her to continue eating.
"It's understandable that you're not feeling well and are in a bad mood."
"I'm too old to understand romance. It was my oversight that I didn't confess my feelings when we got together."
"Don't feel guilty about it, you deserve it."
"Study hard during this time. If there's anything you want, just tell me, and Uncle Huo will make sure you get it."
"I'll give you a big surprise after you finish your college entrance exam."
Xie Junfei nodded. Huo Shen lowered his head, gently kissed her lips, then answered the long-awaited phone call, grabbed the trench coat from the sofa, and went out.
Mr. Huo is extremely busy. He had to postpone two meetings to find time to take her home and have dinner with her. Now he finally couldn't wait any longer and left.
Xie Junfei's menstrual symptoms have always been severe, with menstrual cramps so bad that she questioned the meaning of life.
This is a habit I picked up from the Qin family. Before, entertaining guests at the Qin family always involved drinking. When it came to business, those old bald men didn't care if you were on your period or not; large glasses of ice-cold red wine and bubbling champagne had to be downed before a deal could be struck.
This went on for three whole years, and her health was completely ruined.
It wasn't until they returned to the Xie family that Xie Wenzhou took her to see an old Chinese medicine doctor, who prescribed several doses of Chinese medicine for her. It took more than half a year for her condition to improve.
Those around them all know this.
She had originally planned to visit Zhu Lili's house this afternoon, but that plan has now fallen through.
She sent a message to Zhu Lili explaining the situation, but who knew that this little devil had been cooped up at home for so long and was so anxious that she came straight to Jasmine South Street with big bags and small packages.
Zhu Lili recently dated three boyfriends at once, gaining three emotional benefits in one go. She is radiant and glowing, a stark contrast to Xie Junfei, who is listless and bedridden.
Watching her best friend jumping and running around the yard, Xie Junfei called out to her listlessly:
"You brat, hurry up here. I can't move and can't go down to find you."
Zhu Lili then went upstairs with her things, and was startled when she saw Xie Junfei's face:
"Fuck!"
"Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes! Did Huo Shen drain you dry?"
After not seeing her best friend for so long, Xie Junfei immediately started talking about vulgar things upon meeting, leaving her feeling somewhat impotently furious:
"no!"
"I'm completely drained by my homework!"
Zhu Lili felt a little regretful, patted off non-existent dust from her clothes, and plopped down on the bed:
"It seems you really got into trouble with those teachers at Beijing No. 1 High School."
“What do you mean by taking the national college entrance examination? It’s better to go abroad with my sister.”
"Look at me now, I'm dating and looking for male models, isn't that great!"
Xie Junfei ignored the young lady, shuffled over to Zhu Lili's side, and unceremoniously rested his head on her lap:
"That's because your brother is there to support you, so you can just be a pampered princess every day."
"I'm busy because so many of my businesses are counting on me to give orders."
Zhu Lili rubbed her earlobe and drawled out:
"I know, I know, I know our CEO Xie is a very busy person."
"I'm here today to help you relieve stress. See how thoughtful I am?"
Xie Junfei's limited imagination simply couldn't fathom that there was anything more stress-relieving than making money. Hearing this, he tilted his head in confusion.
Zhu Lili smiled smugly and handed the phone to her:
"See? What activity is more relaxing than playing with male models?"
"After you've chosen your partner, change your clothes and come with me. I'll take you on a wild adventure!"
